    no more white screen
    Hey there, Well it took about 3 hours and a bit of angst, however I solved the problem, I had to delete FlashPlayer and re-install, however, for some reason unknown to me IE would not let me download FlashPlayer from the website, I went through all thier suggestions and I still got nada, so since I have Mozilla Firefox on my PC i gave that a shot, 5 minutes later I had it installed and wala I was back in the chat room. The version I had on my pc must have gotten corrupted somehow - and no i haven't been looking at porn lol - I have no clue as to why I was not being allowed by Internet Explorer to download the program, just another microsoft mystery. Hopefully that is the end of my white screen story :-) Jean

    White screen
    Welcome to my white screen world. I don't know why you wouldn't be able to det in the chat room, you should be able to get in if you have flash10. As for server errors, yesterday morning it kept telling me to instal DRUPEL. What the hell is a drupel? and why do I need to instal it? Everything seems to be in working order now though.Phatmoye

    this time and this just happened ,,, I clicked to go to Dead.net home page and I got re-directed to ask.com .. I clicked on the back page thing and it kept taking me to ask.com ..I had to X out of that and then re-open dead.net from my desktop shortcut and I`m back here .. This is very strange ,, explainable i`m sure but very strange none the less.... I`m just glad to be able to get back on dead.net ...

    some strangeness
    I was in the vineyard this morning , walked away from the computer for a few minutes, and when i come back I could not change pages ,, I was re-directed to a site i never seen before .. it had a little napster looking logo on it and it also said dead.net on top of my browser ..so I had X-ed out of everything , and noticed that my shortcut on my desktop had changed from the freindley skull to the strange napster looking thing,, and the icon in my favorites was also changed .. I had to delete Dead.net from my desktop and my fav.s .. then i went to a completley diferent web page , manually entered www.dead.net , and it went straight to dead.net .. and now it seems to be all good ..except for that darn spam filter .... Just reporting this strangeness .... Have a nice day (eveing) ...

as much as I want to, I can not enter the contest today or download the song, I have tried every avenue available that I know of and nothing, the song plays, (could it be the best and longest Sugaree ever?), but nothing when you click on the enter or download button. Anyway, the answer today is.........., this is a good one.

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.

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".

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.

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.

I am also having the problem Slo had mentioned. For a while now, it was working ok, but the last few days, when I go to post into chat, it just goes to nowhere. Nor can I see any other posts. Hopefully we can get it fixed so chat will again be active. At this rate, I may have to resort to doing my job!!! -Dave

> how's the new site working It's broken. It looks like the site has been redesigned for mobile, but on my desktop machine, it's a mess; the Newsletter sign-up box and the Who's Online box are floating stationary on top of other page content. Here's a screen shot: Firefox 21 running on Kubuntu 12.04 LTS

On my Nexus 7 (running Chrome on Jellybean 4.2.2), the Newsletter and Who's Online boxes are positioned correctly, which is to say that they appear to the right of the page content, rather than on top of it. The only problem I'm having with this device is the entire page width doesn't display, and I have to scroll from side to side because zooming (pinch/unpinch) seems to be disabled.

How am I supposed to convert 24 bit Flac files to wav files that I can play in my truck cd player?? My pc will play the 24 bit wav files, but I can't burn a cd for a cd player. Do I need to modify the flac or can I change the wav ?

I don't know the answer to your question. But, if I were in your situation I would first ask wjonjd, then I would post my question to the 30 Trips thread. Finally, I might do some simple experimentation with Audacity to see if I could get something to work. Hope this helps.

Wilfordtjones is correct. The "Audacity" software program can make the necessary format conversions to allow you to burn cd's of these files. Send me PM if you are still in need of assistance in making these conversions.

I can't get the 30th day to download. The link leads to https://sos2208.akamaized.net/download/rhino/gdead/30days/undefined/day… which than says "File not found" I tried to download all 30 days in one download but it is giving me 30 Days of Dead 2016 instead of 2017. On my PC, Win10, using Chrome. Have also tried Opera and Firefox.

Hi, I"m trying to post in a thread called Deadheads of Europe, but whenever I go to that page (from search results) i'm unable to post. I keep getting told I need to log in. This doesn't happen when I try to post on other threads. Maybe this thread has been closed?

I only mention this because it has worked for me since the site redesign: Try refreshing your browser after logging in. I'm using Firefox by the way. Hope it works!

Hey! I can't seem to get the chat to work. I log in, but when I select "chat" from the drop down under my avatar, the page removed my avatar and says I must be logged in to use chat. If I click anywhere else, I reappear and am logged in. Seems like only the chat page is thinking I'm not logged in when I am.

Peace,

For some reason when the new site switched over my username and password carried over and I can sign in to post. However every time I try and look at my account or profile to change my picture or update information it shows a temporary error message that says:

Temporarily Unavailable
The website that you're trying to reach is having technical difficulties and is currently unavailable.

We are aware of the issue and are working hard to fix it. Thank you for your patience.

Any ideas? This happens on my phone and laptop.

Thanks! :)

This has been an issue for a very long time. The site doesn't recognize my password, and when I request a new password, it sends a link to my email address. I click on that, and I get a 'sorry, we're having technical difficulties' response and 'we're working on it' - so, i've never been able to comment (ever) :( Can you please help me solve this issue once and for all? thanks. I am using chrome right now, but I have the same problem with microsoft edge...
