So glad you made it... Welcome to the updated Dead.net! If you've been around for a while, you should find your familiar haunts much as you left them, though some of them may be in slightly different locations.
If you're joining us for the first time, we're delighted to see you! We invite you to just poke around and make yourselves at home.
A few possibilities:
-Tape trading (digital and otherwise)
- In Search Of (tickets! stuff! music! etc.!)
- The Ride Board (useful touring resource)
- All About My Band (the one you're playing in)
If you need a bit of navigational assistance, post here or send me (marye) a PM and we'll try to help!

Sorry, but how can I post a story, Thanks

Does anyone recall the evening in the early to mid 70’s that the Hells Angels took over Bojangles bar Bay Ridge NY and Jerry Garcia, Bob Wier and Phil Lesh strummed their guitars and singing in the backroom sitting on chairs with angels standing around. It was a birthday party for Jerry. All the alcohol was on the bar with tubs of beer set about. I was not an invite but walked in thru the bar grabbing a beer as I moved to the back room to listen, after a half hour of me enjoying this moment, an Angel tapped me on the shoulder politely asked if I would finish my beer and leave, it took me about 15-20 min. to finish and reluctantly leave. Bojangles also had outstanding burgers on english muffins.

Hi everyone!

I placed a few orders for Box sets on the dead.net site, one of them is now one month overdue (No shipping info for an item marked available)
Tried emailing dead@wmgcustomerservice.com three times in the last 2+ weeks, without any answer.
Does anyone have an idea what to do?

Got it.

Thank you for the warm welcome to the updated Dead.net! It's great to hear that familiar aspects of the site are still intact, albeit with some minor changes in location. For newcomers, the invitation to explore and make oneself at home is much appreciated.
The mentioned possibilities, such as tape trading (both digital and otherwise), In Search Of for tickets, merchandise, and music, the Ride Board as a useful touring resource, and All About My Band for discussing one's own musical projects, offer exciting avenues for engagement.
If any navigational assistance is required, reaching out through a post or a private message to "marye" is encouraged, as the team is ready to provide support.

I got into the dead in 94. I started traveling in 95, and made it to one show at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh that year. After that we all went on Further, and checked out rainbow gatherings, a lot of other bands shows, and country fairs. I'm looking for old friends from everywhere, but for sure spent some time in Boulder, CO, Santa Cruz and San Francisco, CA,Timonium, MD, the Ozarks of Missouri, Oregon various places, and on and on. My name was usually Tarah but sometimes Cordy. I usually traveled with a girl named Fraggle most of the time. Chris Swain, Voichez Auguswinski, Paul Rush, especially Paul Rush, I'm not remembering any other names right now, but if you think you know me ...and Jarod...email or PM me. Love you all!!!
BTW, I posted this here because I couldn't figure out how to post it in " I'm looking for" Any advice on how to do that would be greatly appreciated!!
Anyone who knew Greasy Shawn, hit me up, he was the love of my life!

Phone Number For Customer Service

Hello,

Is there still a valid USA phone number for customer service regarding dead.net orders? I do NOT want to send an email to someone in the UK regarding an issue.

thank you,

A decade later I finally remembered

So for the better part of the last decade I've been searching the reaches of my mind for my password to my profile here wand had been completely stumped then it came to me as I was walking through the woods behind my house in the waking moments of this frozen winter day. I quickly made my way home typed it in and lo and behold I've returned !! I don't know probably just me being amazed at myself and untapped capability of the human mind to retain and access random bits of memory . Anyway family it's good to be home .

Hi folks!

Welcome back. Glad you're here.

New site looks great Marye!!!

Nice job!! bob t

It is the work of many fine folks!

Also we're still working on a few things that aren't quite right yet, so if you run into one of them feel free to PM me, or post, or whatever works!

Log out

How do I log out? I’m on an iPhone btw. Am I just old and in the way?

Marye

So grateful you're here. The new format feels good, clean, lots of bright. i like:)

well not exactly

but if my iphone is any indication, that black bar at the top is obscuring your avatar and its nice menu with Log Out on it. I will report this to the tech folks. Anyway, glad you're here.

I'm old and fear change

But the new site is alright with me.

It seems like its easier to get to some of the "other" sections, but not as quick to get to the latest release thread. Which is okay, it might spread out the traffic a little. Those threads could get unwieldy very quickly.

Test

I just wanted to see how replys get formatted.
Thx for the welcome and support marye.

Is this thing working? Is…

Is this thing working?
Is this thing on?
(Todd Snider)

My browser still says “Website Not Secure”

Glad some things never change.......

Eric, I think I have a better answer

Since the issue I described seems to be unlikely to be affecting you: If you can see and tap/click/press/whatever your avatar up there on the upper right, it will reveal a menu that includes Logout. Also the ever-popular Recent Posts. Let me know if this works okay for you. Thanks!

My Shows

Did they remove the My Shows part of my account of the new redesign? If not, where would I find them now, & if so, whyyyyy???

My Shows

hit a bit of a snag in the transition. The intrepid tech team is working on it. It may be some days before this gets fixed, but we're on the case, honest. Yeah, the golden road is bumpy sometimes... Thanks for the heads up, and bear with us!

Hello

Hello everyone, I'm new member.

Greetings and Salutations

and see you here or there.

Site looks nice, btw.

how come my avatar changed?

Are you all Dodgers fans or what?

Thx for getting back to me…

Thx for getting back to me and good luck sorting it out! It was just nice to see them all listed there :)

Hey, MaryE (reposted from DaP28 page)

My problems

1) Last night my password wouldn't work. to log in I had to request I new one (account info was remembered by the system).
To comment today I again had to request a new password after my new password wasn't recognized.

2) Wanted to post about this from IceCreamKid:
"After posting that last comment I was sent to page 6 of this message board. Why wasn’t I sent to the most recent post of this page?
And another... Those navigation numbers on the bottom of the page First......1,2,3......Last Put a copy of those on the top of the page too so that you don’t have to scroll to the bottom of the page just to move to another page."

That experience happened to me too (at first, thought my comment had not posted, then saw the page number) and his request is one I firmly second. If you have comments appearing newest first, scrolling to the bottom the page to change pages is annoying and there should be the same page list/links available above the comments as there is below.

Hope that my password problem goes away. Hope the vast fields of white do get filled in with something interesting but not distracting or obfuscatory.

The site did seem to need an overhaul. Hopefully, this overhaul will be beneficial. Thanks for trying, GDM crew.
(And when I posted this to the DaP page, I was bounced to page 6 again...)

thank you all!

We will get by!

Thanks Mary for all of your…

Thanks Mary for all of your patience, help and therapy!!! I know websites must stay current with trends and technology. I like the general direction the new site seems to be heading in, but will wait for pats-on-the-back at this point. Here are some things I've noticed.

[Viewing Via Chrome (Version 69.0.3497.100) on MacBook Pro/High Sierra v. 10.13.6]

GENERAL
1. Dim the background or add cool, subtle background so the new site does not continue causing headaches and/or blindness.
2. Seems like every time you do anything, you have to re-take the reCaptcha exam. Is this necessary?

MESSAGES
1. The personal message board takes a very long time to download compared to other locations on the new site..
2. There is no “PM member” button with poster’s avatar/comment, or on their member info page, or anywhere else I can see.
3. Doesn't look like you can "Preview" messages created on .../private_messages/ before sending. I'm only seeing a "Save" button.
4. PM’s seem to get posted to the wrong “Subject” thread, even if you re-enter the intended subject in the subject field. (Maybe they go to the first thread between the participants… or maybe by alphabet?)

COMMENTS PAGES
1. Indicate newly posted comments with “NEW”. This was a very helpful feature in the website’s previous incarnation.
2. Allow more comments per page - previously you could select how many comments were displayed per page.

Thanks again for the therapy!

Thank you Mr. Jeff

this is very helpful.

Marye

The drop down menu next to the avatar does not appear when using an iPad.

Thanks for spending your Sunday doing IT work.

3 days, 3 password problems

For the third day my password needed resetting to get me in.
The request email to reset password system works GREAT. Sends message instantly and the process is painless, but annoying. All in all, this is NOT a terrible problem for me and quite manageable.
Am logging in via a macBook, OS10.6.8 using FireFox 48.02. Did not have this problem before the site upgrade.

My avatar pic and account info all survived the upgrade fine and the password reset system leads me straight to my account. It is just the log in password recognition that has gone hinky.
My password choices are registered as "weak" by the evaluation system, but the "changes (are) recorded".

Thanks, Seth

I've passed this on.

Checking out new layout

Looks like my account is intact. Are discussions about new product on the product order pages now gone permanantly?

glitch?

I've been poking around...in the show archive section, if you key in a year, the screen returns with shows from that year. but if you try to page forward in the event the show you're looking for is not on the first page, the screen reverts back to 1965 shows. It didn't happen each time, but something like 4 out of 5 times this happened.
Searching by venue didn't seem to work at all.

EDIT: seems to be corrected now...thanks

also...your GOTCHA is incredibly aggressive

thanks folks

passing this on also

Spacebro et al, good news re the old Store threads

They are all here: https://www.dead.net/forum/72336 There's actually a lot of good thought behind this, because it was often the case that something would sell out or otherwise become unavailable, but wait, there's this huge conversation attached, we can't just remove it... This way, we avoid causing further distress to people trying to order something that's been out of stock since 2011, and the conversations are in a nice safe place where folks can go right on conversing. So please do!

New Site

I'm with those that say the new site sucks! I definitely don't like the white background, and in my opinion the text is too small. Or are you throwing us older Heads in the trash?

102

This is definitely not a one-size-fits-all issue, but I (being old) find it helpful to use the Zoom In or equivalent in the browser's View menu, which makes things bigger. And also reduces whitespace. fwiw.

Account Editing not working

Been trying to Edit my account picture, but will not save .... site needs a bit more work

This is an improvement? Don…

This is an improvement? Don't fix what ain't broke………….

I like it!

The old site was tired. :)

Login

Every time I try and login it doesn't work. I have to reset my password every time. I have to go into the link in my email. Why won't it remember my password? I've tried on my phone and computer. It does the same thing on both.

GD Hour

Can you listen to archived Grateful Dead Hours?

Little Help please

Hi Marye...

Where do you find a Dave's pick where you can go to that particular pick and see Dave's chat, Music samples, and peoples comments. Then you click on it in the store and it just says sold out.

Welcome back

Great to see you back online. Looking forward to exploring the new features and links. Much love and peace to all of you at Dead.net. Keep the fires burning. - PK

Nice to see the new site!!

Will have to work on figuring out how to navigate! Nice to be here though and know the community is still alive and well.

same here OUTPOST

What's the deal? I would like to change mine from the one I've been "assigned". Help!

Kevin

The discussion threads from the product pages moved here: http://www.dead.net/forum/72336 The reasoning behind this was finding a way to keep the discussions available and live even after the product was sold out. I'll see what I can find out about the Dave clips etc.
