    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!

    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

    Checking out new layout

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

    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".

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

    Thanks for spending your Sunday doing IT work.

    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 wanted to post this in the Websites sub-forum but that one seems to be locked down. I tried to log in to deadnetcentral.com today for the first time in about a year and it looks like the site is down. I guess that was inevitable but does anyone know when it happened? thanx.

RIP Jer, miss you man...

Duppy, from what I can tell, DNC is indeed gone, but many of its residents have a FB group and I think there is a restoration effort in progress.

My love and condolences to all of us out there as Phil passed on yesterday. Heartbreaking and sad.
So many memories of Boxes of Rain and roaring applause for the shy bassist. Good times.

Sign in.
Put show date in search field.
Once on show "mark as attended".
If you want them to be listed on your page in chron. order you have to enter them 1 by 1 in that order.
Good luck and cheers
Edit: BTW your guess on 30 days is way off. Hint; it's later in that iteration of the band.
