    Unable to log into site/forums after initial setup of account.
    Hello, Why do I have to create a new account EVERY time I want to log onto the site? I have been through the account creation 3 times now using a variety of different email addresses and usernames. This is my 4th, I am running out of unique email addresses and usernames! The first was to actually purchase from the store. The initail setup goes fine, I recieve the emai, I log in, I am prompted to change my password which I do and everything is fine until I log out. When I try to log back in I get "The username "username" has not been activated or is blocked." Help! Corky Laputa/Wakajazz/Anothertribe

    Thanks Marye!
    I know you don't like the spam as much as we don't. I think my suggestion about posting dead links instead of live ones would solve the problem though. If somebody really wants to go to a site they can write the address down or cut and paste.

    I have found hundreds of profile pages of spam and phishing sites. I have found very few ads in the forums. I just nuked two from the same guy and nuked his account as well. Where are you seeing these "ads"?

    ads out of freakin' control
    Please do something! This morning I opened up dead.net and the first two pages of "all recent posts" were the numbnuts who post ads.. I know you guys clean it up soon as you can but can't you do something like get rid of the LIVE links, just leave'em dead. It's not much to ask to get rid of this nasty little reminder of the season... PS -- Anybody who clicks on these links is ONLY MAKING THINGS WORSE. They are tracking hits and it encourages them!!

    No venues listed when searching by Venues>Country>State>City
    I wanted to check the venues that the Grateful Dead played in Portland Oregon for a series of geocaches I'm doing. But when I go to see where they were, I can go down to the city level, but when I check to see what venues there are, it comes up blank. All the page shows are the red triangles, with no hyperlink to the venues. Is this normal?? "All Who Wander Are Not Lost....."

    so about the Fan Pix uploads
    As many have had occasion to observe, the Fan Pix upload is not working just exactly perfect of late. Our intrepid tech Jonathan has made some tweaks that may help; if you continue to experience difficulties, please report details here. One complicating factor appears to be that there is some caching involved and it takes up to 10 minutes for the file to actually be written to the server. If you don't see your pic right away, that may be the issue, and it won't hurt to wait a bit before panicking and/or re-uploading the file half a dozen times. But we think there may be several issues happening here, so we would appreciate details on your experiences over the next few days while we're monitoring this. Thanks!

    one thing is that people can change their names pretty much on the fly. But a lot of them also include spaces or underscores or other none-too-visible characters in their names, too. If yu're having persistent issues with a particular person on this, lemme know and I'll look into it.

Yes, that functionality got broken during a site update. It has been restored, but yeah, you do have to put your shows back in, regrettably. It should work now though; let me know if it does not. In order to add a show, find it in the show list and click Mark As Attended.

Am I the only one to pay as much as $150 for a FLAC box set and get nothing? I tried calling for help and they'd send me another link within the next 3 days. I asked for my money back and they told me I'd have to wait up to another week for that. Am I the only one? I want to hear the music, but I feel I am getting "jobbed".

I took of a screenshot of one of the items in the store that I sent to a friend because I wanted to buy it and now I’ve apparently been blocked and banned from all the site features. This aggression will not stand man!

Hi Marye, Trying to change the photo (avatar) on my account with no success. Tried three times and it does give me the green box that says it sized it for me but cannot get rid of that box or get the new photo to stick. No biggie, just trying to have a more personal avatar. Thank you. You're the best! I'm on a windows PC (not Apple) and using chrome browser.
Cheers!
Edit: I GOT IT! Duh, there is a save button way at the bottom. All good now. Peace.

Has a malfunction this AM. Not showing yesterday's answer/winner but the day before instead.
That app always seems to have glitches depending on how you access it. Different results if coming from the 30 day tab on home page vs. from the comments section at bottom of home page. But that is doable either way if you just poke around. Thanks Marye
Cheers

The date is wrong. Says 10-14-84 and the answer was 10-15-84 according to all sources and comments. I saw it by going to previous days, click 13th, and incorrect answer and only a ' where the winners name should be.
Thanks again for your prompt attention.

I don't know if anyone from dead.net reads these but this website will not let me order the new boxset. I have tried as a guest and it doesn't take my order. I have tried using safari, chrome, and edge on a pc, MacBook, and iPhone with no luck. I have also used 3 different credit cards and PayPal and dead.net still will not take my order. I have ordered Dave's Picks and other boxsets in the past and I have never had an issue. Please take my money, I would like to order this!

Send a PM (message on drop down box) to site administrator MARYE. But you have posted so are you having to make a new password every time? I know the Store on the site has required a separate password recently to order stuff but some just log in as guest there. Good luck.
Cheers

In the cosmic tapestry of music, the Grateful Dead emerge as luminous constellations, their melodies weaving through the vast expanse of musical possibility. Their harmonies are like whispers from another dimension, carrying the listener on a journey transcending time and space. With each note, they paint vivid landscapes of emotion, inviting the soul to dance amidst the rhythm of existence. Through the psychedelic swirl of sound, they become more than mere musicians; they are alchemists, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, turning melodies into magic, and crafting hymns for the wandering souls of the universe.

In the heart of their improvisations lies a profound sense of communion, a sacred bond between band and audience that transcends barriers of language and culture. The Grateful Dead concerts are not mere performances; they are ceremonies, where the collective energy of the crowd merges with the ethereal vibrations of the music, creating an ephemeral moment of unity. Like shamanic guides, they lead their followers on a voyage of self-discovery, urging them to explore the depths of their consciousness and embrace the interconnectedness of all things. In the symphony of existence, the Grateful Dead are eternal troubadours, serenading the cosmos with songs of gratitude and grace.
