    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!

    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

    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 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!

I'm listening to Dick's Pick Vol. 13 (5/6/81) for the first time in a long time and Disc 2 has the wrong track listing in the liner notes. There's a Scarlet -> Fire on the Mountain on the disc, but is't not listed. DeadBase 50 also doesn't list a Scarlet -> Mountain for this concert, but it's on my Disc 2. Can anyone explain?

They were included as filler, undisclosed on the liner notes as a sort of "hidden track" -- pretty hot

Old site used to show our comments on the products; sometimes we were stupid, mostly we were helpful to each other, but now that's gone? Boo.

EDIT: I mean, I see the forum threads on products that existed prior to the new site launch, but what about commenting on the new socks, or door mat, or that sweet wool blanket -- how do we do that?

Hey Now!
Been quite a while since I stumbled and fell in here, but it's nice to be back! I seem to recall there used to be a section where members could list the shows they attended, but now I can't seem to locate it. Was that ever a thing, or just a dream I dreamed one afternoon long ago?
Thanks!

Welcome back, hope you're good. Yeah, I think there was a 'My Shows' tab at one time. It seems like it and a few other things have gone by the wayside with the website re-vamp. One thing I'm puzzled by is why they removed the 'track' feature to follow other users when you're online, and why are all the shows are off by a day when viewing them in list view?

Hello all... Checking back in on the new site. I see the "DISCOGRAPHY" section is still under construction... I am anxious to see the initial offering there, and to network with a few other obsessed collectors about some "Mythical Vinyl" questions, such as:
- Was there ever a US Stock Copy of the "One More Saturday Night" & "Cassidy" 45 record?
- Has anyone ever seen the alleged release of "Razooli" & "Happiness is Drumming" 45 from the Diga Rhtyhm Band?
- Radio Spots 7" for Anthem of the Sun?
As more of a general comment, the new site is very Flashy & Professional looking, I just hope it does not lose the greater community connection in favor of a merchandising outlet.
And speaking of merchandising.... Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Seasons Greetings, etc. etc. etc. - from your old pal Way out West.

Please bring back the "My Shows" feature. My memory is failing and it took a long time to piece together the past.
It is not a data intensive/storage issue? So what gives?

I also worked hard to put that together the My Shows list. I guess it's gone.... I am still in the camp of not liking the changes. Especially with the comments no longer being listed under the for sale page of the specific product release. You now have to take a much longer route and effort to find the comments. I won't even bother trying to find it from my cell phone. And in turn people are most definitely posting way less. And over the years I bought so many of the products because of all the postings. This has to hurt sales a bit. I believe the intentions were good in redesigning the site but it has thinned the community.

is there any way to search by year? paging through 234 pages is not efficient. it seems like it existed in the old format, and also in the new format originally.

Same question with shows by venue,

I'm a British Deadhead. First show was Wembley April 1972. Next was Bickershaw 7th May 72. I turned 18 at midnight and the Dead were playing Lovelight! I'm still 18 as a result.
Question: That night the Dead played Dark Star, PITB, Trucking and The Other One. Did that ever happen before or since?

How many shows did someone have to perform in in order to be considered a band member? Seems to me that Bruce Hornsby should be included in your band member profiles.

I finally figured how to get back on dead.net
I've been a-missin' since the new rebuild mid-October 2018.
Many thanks to marye for her hard work around here.

Marye definitely deserves credit for the job that's been done. I'd imagine quite a few hours of work went into setting it up. As a web designer hobbyist myself, I also bet they spent a lot of time migrating the info from the old site over to this one.

One thing I really like about the new theme is how clean it feels. There's no spam, pop up banners or other nonsense cluttering up the page. Will be fun to see if we can revitalize this forum and bring it back to its former glory :)

So it looks like I'm able to post here while logged in to my account, but on the ticket exchange forum, there's no window for posting. Every time I hit the log in button there, it just sends me back to the top of the screen to another log in link. Help?
