is there a way to go to the next topic without going backwards?

At this point, I don't think

At this point, I don't think so. Many navigational issues are coming to light and being dealt with , and I will say this one is driving me nuts also! So thanks for speaking up.

I think that's a huge one, especially for someone like me coming over here from the Well. a nice nav button or two at the bottom of the current topic to either go back to the list or forward to the next topic with new replies would be huge.

Yer preachin' to the choir

Yer preachin' to the choir on this one, and I've also raised the issue that it would be swell to have posts numbered.

Who should comments

Who should comments regarding the Shows list go to? I already found a few errors and I've only looked at PA shows.

Yeah, I found an error or

Yeah, I found an error or two from what shows I've go to as well.

Yes, so have I (not to

Yes, so have I (not to mention things like Dylan not getting mentioned in the Dead/Dylan shows, leaving the befuddled reader to figure it out from the setlist...). For now, hold that thought and I'll see where this stuff should go. I.e., I don't want to land a pile of this stuff on the wrong person's desk!

i'll start a list but damn, if only The Matrix had REALLY been in my little town of Media, PA ;-)

Yeah, and somewhere there's a Greek show sandwiched between two East Coast shows, too. I think not, alas.

How do you mark all messages

How do you mark all messages as "READ"? Or do you literally have to view each post? I can't seem to find it anywhere...

I set my location on the google map in my account but it doesn't show up on the big map of all the members. Also, why can't I post a new topic in the forums? Might As Well

Topic creation is being

Topic creation is being moderated for the time being, J.Chimmy. Please ask if there is a topic you'd like to see! -iz

Re the topics, we're trying

Re the topics, we're trying to keep the number of them manageable till we figure out how this whole thing is working, but don't be shy about asking for the ones you want, as izzie says. Re the google map, did you type in your full street address? it seems to want that. If you did, must be something else and we'll investigate further...

Yeah, Google maps needs your

Yeah, Google maps needs your street address and zip code, and might be a little slow on the uptake right now. (I just checked it for something else and it's a little slow for me at least.)

Okay cool, I was just

Okay cool, I was just wanting to add a band to the forum about other good bands to see (My Morning Jacket). I didn't realize that it needed by full address, I just have city and zip code. I'll just add my full address. Thanks for the help and the quick reply.

Hey, we know all about that

Hey, we know all about that map issue because until izzie figured it out the map was putting us off the ivory Coast! I'll go see if I can find a home for the Morning Jackets...

Yeah peoples. If you're

Yeah peoples. If you're getting placed off the Ivory Coast of Africa, the next time some one asks you where Zero Lat/Zero Long is... you'll know!

J.Chimmy, You may want take

J.Chimmy, You may want take a moment and ask yourself if you really want your personal information listed publicly on a website.

Morning Jacket topic awaits

Morning Jacket topic awaits your posts! Hm, I need to start one for Los Lobos...

Dire has a very valid point.

Dire has a very valid point. I'm not sure how publicly visible your street address would be on your profile, but you truly might want to check it out. Indeed, that's why I'm still off the Ivory Coast when I'm really in Oakland.

If someone who isn't a mod

If someone who isn't a mod wants to click on my profile, feel free to send me a PM if you can see my address! It's not exact, but close enough to get me in my block here in Ocean Beach.

Other Band Members

Greetings! I am enjoying the new site! Just wondering if it might be possible to create discussions for other touring band members like Donna Jean and TC?

Donna Jean, TC

Doug, no problem, I'll get on it shortly.

public disclosure . . . word to the wise ? . . .

I'm with Dire Wolf on this one . . . I can somewhat understand that the folks behind the scenes here might be interested in demographics of the inhabitants of this place . . . I can also see where it might be helpful to the inhabitants who hope to market what they do or even perhaps themselves . . . however, it is kind of creepy knowing that the general populace might be able to avail themselves of someones home address . . .

is there a way to NOT go

is there a way to NOT go back to the first page of a thread after making a post? in another thread that is now 2 pages long, after i posted something, it automatically took me back to the start of the thread rather than to my post (the end of the thread) peace.

back to the first part

CCJoe: is there a way to NOT go back to the first page of a thread after making a post? Not that I've been able to find you. I have learned, though, that if you want to Reply to a particular post, and use the Repy option, it puts that original post alone on your screen so you can see it, no matter where on the page you were when you found it. I've also learned that the All Recent Posts button there on Dead.Community gets you to a screen with, who knew, all the recent posts marked as . Will that help at least a little?

I just hit reply on your

I just hit reply on your answer... let me see here. just a moment, please.

well, the next screen popped

well, the next screen popped up on the top of the page... meaning I had to scroll down to see what I put. I wonder how that will work on a two page thread. I'll give it another try on a 2 page thread. I suppose it will just take some getting used to. I use a Mac most of the time, so I never got used to doing that right click thang to scroll down. (actually, my Mac had a really weird set up for the opening screen, but I think that is a local problem at home since the software and explorer version is a little old...) peace.

OK, I'm a slow learner. (

OK, I'm a slow learner. ( -; I tried it with the 2 page introduction thread, and it did, indeed, go back to the first page, from the top, all over again. though I do see what you mean about hitting reply. that would help with the cut and paste quote thing, but oh well, if I gotta scroll down, and then hit 'last page' I guess that is what I gotta do. then, another thing, after I did the 'test' in the Introduction thread, I tried to go back and delete it, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. so, (OK, I promise these will be my last questions for a while) is there a way to delete posts? other than editing it, and writing in deleted? because you can not re-post an empty field... is there a time limit on the edit feature? this I would think would be a good idea for the sake of continuity and NOT being able to re-write history. peace.

Delete Key

the mods (as we learned!) have the Delete key. We're planning to delete obvious duplicative posts and stuff like that. But we'll tell you first! (really, Joe. We'll tell you first.)

Other band member shows

Is it possible to have a listing for shows we attended like the Dead for individual member shows and side projects like, Phil & Friends, Rat Dog, The Other Ones, The Dead, Mickey, Rhythm Devils, Go Ahead ect ect ect........ I like the feature for the Shows We attended and that we can post comments about them. It would be cool to do that for the aformentioned side projects. Thanks.

But we'll tell you first!

izzie wrote: "But we'll tell you first! (really, Joe. We'll tell you first.)" no problemo. it was a weird mind fuck, though. total twilight Zone... ( -:

Posting a New Topic

Any one know why the site wont let me post a new forum topic?

Yes, topic starting is turned off for now

Please check the FAQ section in Before You Get Started in the Welcome Mat area for details. Short version, we're trying to get things working, and trying to do so with a manageable number of topics. We're also trying to build a system that works for people who come from a lot of different systems with a lot of different features. On some (DNC, for example) you can't create topics at all. On others (the Well, for example) you can. We already have some people complaining there are too many topics. We have others complaining because they can't start 'em. We don't know at this point what it will look like long term. Meanwhile, if you want a particular topic, send a Private Message to me or izzie, and we'll do our best to get it going. Thank you.

Time

Hi, why is the time an hour off from SF time. Actually an hour west of me is someplace in the pacific between SF and Hawaii, i.e.,S F is 5:06 and Hawaii is 2:06 but the time posted when I posted my last post was 4:06 - it was 5:05 here in SF, which would put the website's time an hour west of me. hmmm...

I was wondering the same thing!

Especially since when we were doing the private beta last week it appeared to be on GMT. Oh well!

Thanks (((marye)))!I

Thanks (((marye)))! I thought maybe there was someplace that is the Axis an hour time zone away from here. LOL!

An hour off San Francisco

An hour off San Francisco time?? I thought it was an hour off Seatlle time. Hmmmm.

And btw

Personally, I'm totally no pressure about getting these bugs et al worked out - good job, everyone involved. I was trying to be funny, but I am happy to give feedback re: my experiences here on dead.net.

Location issue

Anyone else remember "Zero Zero Island"?

how much memory?

about how much memory, or how big are the privte message in-boxes and out-boxes?? anyway to add somthing that will tell us when they are getting full?? I'd like to keep the old messages around, but I do not want a new message to get sent back because the box was full unbeknownst to me. thankx. peace.

No more spammers here at dead.net

And a big hand to the person who threw a net over that (with a filter?)!

Finding a show in the Taper's section

How do I find a particular show in the Taper's section, specifically from 10/18/80 and 10/19/80? Cosmicbadger had created a list of vines ( where is it now?) and I think there is a similar document for the Taper's section.

Store customer service

I simply want to change my shipping address for my Dave's Picks 2013 subscription. Unlike virtually every other online retailer, I am unable to manage my account and order information in the Dead.net store. I had hoped by now that the store would have transitioned into a user-friendly arena. I phoned the customer service hotline and was told that I could make no changes to my order! The first volume of the 2013 Dave's Picks subscription is still roughly two months away from actual shipping, but no changes can be made. Ridiculous. I have already been billed and paid for an entire year worth of music that I need to have shipped to a new address and am having difficulty being told that this is not possible. I know that is indeed possible but wish that I didn't have to traverse so many hoops to get it done. What needs to be done? Who can help?

if you mean

whether the chat room, the search tool, and the who's online features are on the to-do list, yes. In the meantime, you can get a list of who's online by going to the chat link above; the list is on the right of the chatroom page. It is, as noted earlier, a list of who's online, not who's in the chatroom at this juncture. As to community, well, it's not like it can be artificially generated, whatever tech snake oil guys say. The members make it happen, we just have a venue and try to manage it as well as we can within the constraints we've got.

The new dead.net website

Is more oriented toward sales than community. I hope sincerely that they are working out the kinks raher than moving to this as a permanent format. It was useful to know who was on line. The old search engine functioned better than the new one. One good thing about this format is that the spammers seem to be pretty much banished. I hope dead.net can get the best of both worlds together when they bring the Chat Room out ofBeta and get the whole catalog once again on line. It is beyong me that this whole project was taken up at Christmas time when most retailers are doing more than 40% of their year-long business. Ah well, I have long ago stropped trying to fathom the mysertium tremendous powers behind Rhino on Grateful Dead issues.... So, my questions is: Does Rhino plan to go back to the old format once the bugs are worked out?
