Full Show Downloads - still available??

I get a dead link when I follow the full show downloads link for the 11/79 Spectrum shows - are these still available? The page I'm accessing is via Features -> New Full Show Downloads (near bottom of page) -> MORE DOWNLOAD INFO (right sidebar). I really hope these haven't gone the way of the rest of the download series (which I'm still trying to find a way to purchase in FLAC or ALAC format. Thanks, D

Someone is trying to steal my userid

i have gotten about 20 messages in the last two days about a request to reset my password. Someone is obviously trying to steal my user name by getting the password reset. How can i make sure it doesn't get changed? I set up this ID early on day one of the new website launch as you can imagine my User name is a desirable one.

Jack

that's very weird. Please send me a PM with the details soonest and I'll let the tech guys know about this.

Chat and Jack Straw

Jack Straw that is clearly someone trying to change it...be careful man, and make sure your password is both capitals, lower case, and a few numbers and has nothing to do with your home/house birthday etc. That sucks man...hopefull the techies can ping back the responses and get the IP addy the guy is using. Also, the chatroom is definately down...I think it's a problem with gagalive. Is everyone having this issue? Love you guys. ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥

Hello how do i start a new topic/thread in forums can some one help please.

starting a new topic/thread

Hey ripple! To start a new thread, you send a private message to marye (admin) with the topic you wish to start. She is most helpful and obliging about setting them up for us, and only she can start new threads.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

okay...

yes, it does seem to be dysfunctional. I'll report it. However, from what I can tell, the problem is not on our site but the chat hosting site, and seeing as it's Labor Day Weekend things might stay this way till folks get back to work on Tuesday. Thanks.

Indeed!

the art is just great.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

if the calendar was in that format (long and narrow) with the months across the bottom portion, I would buy it and have it framed

The chatroom was running on gagalive.com and their site has been down the whole time the chat has been inaccessible. This has been quite a long time for any site to be down. Is there any word on it?

let's just say it's not you. Things are a little wacky right now.

Taper's Section--1971 segment broken?

2 of us have reported a problem today which persists--can you get it fixed ? On January 24th, 2011 SaintSteveg said: The Iowa show cut terminates part way through the first song; anyone else having that prob? I hope it gets fixed, I'd love to hear that '71 Lovelight. Thanks ~ I'll meet you some morning in the sweet by and by On January 24th, 2011 lethedoom said: I have the same result as SaintSteveg reports: 'Casey Jones ; Sugar Magnolia ; Around And Around; Uncle John's Band; Turn On Your Lovelight on March 20, 1971' cuts out toward the end of Casey Jones. Please restore the rest of the file. Thanks. lethedoom lethedoom

sorry lethe

what with one thing and another I've been distracted. I'll see what I can do.

Marye distracted?

Isn't everything just exactly perfect around here? Are there any technical or customer service issues going on?

Has JotW been written off already?

We're now at day 5 since a new Jam Of The Week ought to have been posted. Still rocking the 2-4-2/10 Jam, now on 2/15. While I'm at it, the on Features page the main link, top and center of the page, points to a stale Taper's Section? It's pointing to 2/7-2/13, last week's selections. The new one has now been available for two days. Is anyone actually devoted to maintaining this site, as their primary responsibility? Or does someone just patch things up when marye brings them to their attention? I mean seriously. We have to *tell* you that your site is stale? We have to *tell* you that you haven't got Jam Of The Week up? Does nobody there actually browse the site??? Sorry to be so harsh, but I am actually curious what resources are devoted to site maintenance here. There's definitely an issue with staff levels or competencies. And whoever's in charge ought to have been shown the door ages ago. [mandatory_pander] But, of course, all the gracious goodies are appreciated, yadda, yadda... [/mandatory_pander]

not sure what the issue was

but you should find it here

phil's bass sound

Since I can't load the 'Got Questions, Ask Here' forum on any computer, and I've tried on five (only when I'm logged in, when I'm logged out works fine but can't post messages then) I'm going to ask here: Does Phil's bass sound on Dick's Picks 25 Disc 1, Good Lovin' remind anyone else of bouncing tennis balls? I think that's what it reminds me of, in a good way of course.

I think

what would be likeliest to produce what you're describing is that you've somehow got the comments sorted Oldest First when you used to have them Newest First? Other than that, there have certainly been isolated instances of weirdness, but nothing consistent.

pardon me for asking, but...

What's the use of having a 'View All Recent Posts' button if they don't show all recent posts? The recent posts are not displaying (at least on my machines) for the latest installment of the Taper's section. In addition, I've been posting to the orphaned Taper's Section entries that are floating around somewhere in Dead.net space (everywhere but where they should be of course (in the rundown with the other entries in the TS) so that maybe others can possibly locate them. These posts are not appearing in 'All Recent Posts'. Of course, this problem doesn't amount to a hill of beans for everything else that's fubared around here. Is it time for a complete overhaul of the site? Every time I think I've seen quite possibly the last unworking link or crazy problem, another one crops up. I bet I'm not the only one that's frustrated. That said, this site is better than nothing (although I like it better as it was last year) and I try my best not to look a gift horse in the teeth. It's just becoming a comedy of errors though.

well

as to the second problem, I'm not getting it, so it's hard to say. You may be getting it when something is resetting. In general, the View All Recent Posts does not refer to your account specifically, whereas the My Recent Posts, generally speaking, does. The All Recent Posts seems to be for the convenience of random souls checking in from remote corners of the net. If you're logged in, you will be much better served by the My Recent Posts link, or the Recent Posts shown under your account on the left. Hope this helps.
