    the chat room.....
    hello folks, my problem is this: when i go to the chatroom, all i see is a large blank white screen with a smaller white screen below that says, "enter your message here" and who's online. i can type in the message box and actually see what i'm typing, but when i hit "submit", the message disappears from my view. i have been told by reliable sources :) that they can see my messages, but i can't. i have windows 7 with IE. thanks for any help. p.s. i am using the links from the forum "topic and suggestions chat room" and www.dead.net/chat and on neither can i see messages from me or anyone else. i hope it's not something super simple either, 'cause if it is, i'm gonna quit using a computer and go back to paper and pencil.

    Where are the Taper Sections for the first 3 weeks in October
    Thanks for the November 30 Days feature. It works fine for me, except it ties me in to Facebook. Can you recover the links to all the Taper Sections for October 2012?

    the 30 Days of Dead doesn't show as a thread, never mind download;threads are not updating, though new posts are showing if you go directly there; problems logging in; 400% enlargement when I get dead.net to load Unless the almanac and stores are working it is a bummer of a time for these glitches.

    Download link and/or contect link not working as of 5:15PST
    I cannot get the download OR contest link to react at all. The "hand" comes up in IE and FF. But clicking either link produces no result, not even a 404 error or "pop-up" to "saves this as a file". Just a mysterious pause and "done".

    IE9. I'm not very happy with the 30 days comment setup...I can't comment without logging in to Facebook... I just downloaded Firefox and the downloading/contest entry system works fine with it. Thanks for helping.

Tried downloading Europe 72. Clicked all Download buttons, but Firefox only got about 8-10 of the songs. If this has happened to you, try the following: Contact Customer Service and explain the situation. Brings new meaning to the concept of immediate gratification! DeadNet Customer Service ROCKS!!!

Why don't any of the individual show threads get picked up by All Recent Posts? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

I just found the jam for this week at about 7 p.m. Tuesday, and I started playing it. Then I did a little browsing, and when i tried to find it again I couldn't find my way back to it, so you can bet I am not turning it off until I have listened to the whole thing, which isn't such a bad thing to do in a motel in Wichita. And I am grateful for it, despite the difficulties. I'm not telling anyone what to do, but I wish folks would calm down a little before they go off on their rants. Maybe someone is doing all this for very little and we should just do our best to keep looking for things with patience. Box of Rain just started after China Cat/Rider. Nice, nice. I should add to the above, "Maybe you'll find direction around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you." That sure seems to be how it was for this jam with me this week. Thanks.

Winterland from 12/11/72 is a great listen. Unfortunately, you won't find it if you're logged-in.Log out and then select JOTW from Features.

Again with the masterful research, sir! Ted, my hat's off to you again. With some luck, that information you provided there may prove valuable to the the people (person? hamster?) behind the wheel here as they (she? it?) try to resolve the problem and prevent as many future ones. (Maybe it looks fine from their end because they don't have accounts at the site they're responsible for maintaining???)

the not-being-logged-in requirement prevents the jam page from being cluttered with comments on the jam. No beef, no praise, no spam, just jam!!

Getting "page not found" when logged in, works fine after logging out. I logged back in to see if that "reset" the page...still got the error message logged in. I'll try not to use the word "log" in any form for the rest of the day...

Time warp...I just opened the site and the home page greeted me with the Warlocks Box announcement, its bundle with RT 3.4, and the WB vinyl box set. Checked the forums, went back to the home page and was transported back to today. I'm pretty sure it isn't April 1 today, but now I'm starting to wonder. If I can just figure out how to control this time-travel thing, I'll be having some kind of fun. Otherwise, this is the strangest thing that's happened to me so far today....

Hi - I was wondering if you could tell me which would be the best forum to try to identify a item from the Grateful Dead. My friend has this hookah that he was told was given to a man who helped the Dead set up their stages back in the 1960's-70's. The story is that someone from the band gave this to him. It is a bear head hookah and I can post pictures. It has two symbols on it, that my friend says identifies it to the Dead. I was wondering how do I post photos and which forum would be one I would have the best responses on. Thanks. Judy

would be to post the photos on your own site and post a link here. As for where to post, the best place would probably be the Your Own Storefront topic in the forums.

Thanks - but I didn't make this - I want help to identify it - isn't there a better forum that fans from the 60's or 70's might recognize this on ?

perhaps someone else has other suggestions. You might post a photo to Fan Photos and see if anyone has any thoughts.

post it in fan photos, title it "help identify", and it should show up in the forums, shouldn't it, marye?

although he's got it posted in Storefront now, so have at it. I misunderstood that the purpose was identification rather than vending, but hey, we'll work it out.

As before, clicking on "Shows & Lyrics" then offers the nav-link to "Shows by Year": http://www.dead.net/shows But now, no by-year folders appear on the page and instead only this text appears: "No shows for this date." Um, where'd them year-folders go? [Running Mac OSX 10.6.8, most-recent Firefox and Safari.]

Around the site when you don't know page-to-page if you'll still be logged in. Working on this one? I never appear to be logged in on the home page, sometimes yes and sometimes no in the forums. And even when yes in the "recent posts" listing, it can turn into "no" if I actually open up a topic. Help!

abounds around here. Last night when I logged in someone with the handle relating to greenchiles was logged in like a thousand times. At around 5:30 this morning the two main E72 threads and the announcement about preauthorizing were not on the first page. Now I see they are. Maybe I got into that yak milk accidentally....

Mary, Over the past 3 days, I have been having terrible problems with loading any page on Dead.net. The "style" of the page is missing - only white background, no logo. Sometimes a box containing snippets of code and error information. I got this in different forms with both Firefox 6.0 and Mac Safari 5.1 on a Max OS 10.6.8. Today, after clearing caches, browsing history, and all website data and then resetting/restarting browsers, Firefox now works. But, Safari still does not render Dead.net correctly. Safari shows an error when attempting to download the page. This error is: "too many HTTP redirects" from "http://www.dead.net/sites/all/themes/deadnet/style.css" Clearly, the style sheet has been modified and now has a coding error - probably a self-referencing HTTP link. Please pass this along to the website coders. Thanks, Ed

Will we have a Tapers Section feature this week, as well as a new Trivia question? FYI, GD Radio, an internet radio station I listen to occasionally on Squeezebox, was wiped out over the weekend. It is based in Connecticut.

come on guys, for fuck's sake.there has been glitches on dead.net for a while now; especially the Shows section. why suddenly split into 4 or 5 pages instead of one listing for each year? and when it does eventually load there's a weird bug in the system. it's 2011; sort out the site that people want to use. i have never experienced this on ANY other site, large or small. get your shit together. for a band that used to invest in cutting-edge technology this is piss poor; archive and photo section continually stretches pictures or makes them disappear. what on EARTH is going on? the archive should be immaculate; some of the planet's crappiest artists have smooth, elegant websites that are head and shoulder's above this one. you have a magnificent library that is treated as some kinda college scrapbook. gone are the days when you led the way.

strange happenings in the Show & Lyrics section too; instead of one page for the individual shows in a year like before, now separated into 3 or 4, each taking way too long to load.also, photos in the archive going way outside the site frames. the archive and photo section really is the worst designed i've seen on a site. please take a tip from some of the photographer's of the Dead's site's and arrange in that way. it just makes all that rich history come alive.

Today the layout of the site (most notably the forums) has changed. Now there seems to be no way to access one's inbox or send PM's. Also when accessing a member's profile (e.g. admin, to point this problem out), the possibility to send that member a PM also seems to have gone.

hi, The PM's should be fixed now. We recently upgraded the back-end architecture of Dead.net, so there may be some things that operate differently now... hopefully they will be minor and will not adversely affect user experience. thanks, Admin
