    Ms Izzie, thanks for your reply. Maybe I just misunderstood the New part. I read it as I could not post in a forum at all. My post in this one seemed to work so maybe its ok. I just was confused by that mssg at top everytime I went to a forum.Thanks, Kurt

    There are no user-created forums here on Dead.Net. I don't know why you'd be seeing that message unless you were trying to create a new forum. (I'll log in from my user account and see if I see that message...) If there's a forum/topic you'd like created, please let me or MaryE know, and we'll do our best to accommodate your request!

    what I just figured out, which might help, is if I Preview Comment first, and then post it, it went right through without a hitch. I will see if it works again with this post -- which with the way life is going, it probably won't. ever optimistic, I will give it a go.

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,

-Dave

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...
