Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

...for a 'report spam' button. It's a really good one and should be implemented. Don't be surprised if some unforeseen leak in the dike would spring forth as a result of that however. This site reminds me a little of a Rube Goldberg contraption sometimes. tehehehehe. Lots of love, folks. Have a grateful day.

When a new feature is introduced in a forum like this, there's always going to be someone who tries to exploit it, so my guess is that there would be some blowback from a "Report Spam" button; it's almost too easy to imagine that some might find a thing like that to be useful in a flame war, for example.

I represent at LEAST 10 PPL who have asked me about the chat. I pass on it has been reported but has been a long time IMO. Once again our kind tech brother Savage has opened up his chat to us. http://www.savagetek.com/oss/

Hi is the chat room down for good?

Indeed, Mona! Take note friends, and pass it on! http://www.savagetek.com/oss/ IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's the use of having a 'View All Recent Posts' button if they don't show all recent posts? The recent posts are not displaying (at least on my machines) for the latest installment of the Taper's section. In addition, I've been posting to the orphaned Taper's Section entries that are floating around somewhere in Dead.net space (everywhere but where they should be of course (in the rundown with the other entries in the TS) so that maybe others can possibly locate them. These posts are not appearing in 'All Recent Posts'. Of course, this problem doesn't amount to a hill of beans for everything else that's fubared around here. Is it time for a complete overhaul of the site? Every time I think I've seen quite possibly the last unworking link or crazy problem, another one crops up. I bet I'm not the only one that's frustrated. That said, this site is better than nothing (although I like it better as it was last year) and I try my best not to look a gift horse in the teeth. It's just becoming a comedy of errors though.

I get a message that reads HTTP 500 Internal Server Error when I try to read new posts for the forum topics 'Got Questions Ask Here' and 'Technical Problems - Forums, Features, etc.' Other details read: Most likely causes: •The website is under maintenance. •The website has a programming error What you can try: Refresh the page. Go back to the previous page. More information This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying. Is anyone else getting that, too? Sometimes with this topic, I can't view new posts from the 'All Recent Posts' button. I have to go to forums, then the topic to view new entries. I can't view the 'Got Questions, Ask Here' thread at all. It'd be interesting to know the technical reasons behind these bugs, as I am quite fascinated by computers and coding (not that I have much exerience with it).

Nope, still not working...I have tried what you suggested but to no avail. argh. Still gotta go to forums as well to view this topic. It times out from 'my recent posts' and 'all recent posts' just the same...

Hey now...can view recent posts in 'Got Questions, Ask Here'...but here's the sticking point...I need to be logged out! HAHAHAHAHA. Someone 'splain that one now! Gotta hand it to you dead.net always keepin' me on my toes...hahahahaha.

I haven't posted in a while however when I log on many of the latest posts are from 2009 is there a system glitch?

Unable to connect to chat room, winxp, ie 8 (i think), etc...

Since I can't load the 'Got Questions, Ask Here' forum on any computer, and I've tried on five (only when I'm logged in, when I'm logged out works fine but can't post messages then) I'm going to ask here: Does Phil's bass sound on Dick's Picks 25 Disc 1, Good Lovin' remind anyone else of bouncing tennis balls? I think that's what it reminds me of, in a good way of course.

i to have not been able to access chat room for last three days,i can go to all other sites on page but not chat room

Dear technical wizard: May 11 - 17 isn't hapnin. Please advise when it is functional.

I've signed up to the site, changed password, filled in account information, accept user agreement. And I still cant post on the forum :OI know Im probably missing something small... any ideas?

What happened to My Recent Posts? I'm logged in, but all that I'm seeing on the Recent Posts page is the entire list, not my personalized subset.

I meant Got Questions, Ask Here...under the Administration heading in the Forums doesn't load for me...and it still doesn't.

marye, I used to see a text link for My Recent Posts, and I'm not seeing that or a My Recent Posts tab as of today. Here's a link to a screen shot of what I am seeing: Screen Shot Thanks, as always, for your help.

I've been trying to submit new topic threads but have been unsuccessful. How does one go about doing that, anyway? I tried clicking "Submit content," but I have neither a Europe '72 Tour Photo nor a Fan Photo to share.

The website seems all boogered up. I can't find the Spring 90 thread. this on the very day I received my precious Spring 90 box. Everythings all boogered up :(

Thanks Marye! You are right, as usual...

i can't find the "log out" icon on the new surroundings. maybe i'm just not looking hard enough too. thanks for your help marye.

but when i try to play anything from gd hour i get a notice that the file can't be played. It might be on my end though. maybe others are having this prob. too. thanks marye 1st edit (whoops, i'll put this under streaming malf.) 2nd edit..........actually i won't put it under stream. malf. because i can't get to it anymore. weird...........pleasantly weird. i quit for tonight............pickup tomorrow. : )

Trying to post on the Rolling Stones Live at Leeds vine since i"m sending it out today but the link goes to a memorial page instead. Help!

me no likey

The redesign will grow on me eventually, but I'd still like to see the return of My Recent Posts.

I'd second that emotion

Can't you equal the same effect by going to 'My Account', then 'Track'?

Thanks for the track tip, wilfredtjones; I was getting tired of scrolling through the whole list to find my stuff. But here's a new problem for you, marye: when I click on My Account at the top of the page, it takes me to a search page. I need to click on my name in a post to get to my account.

...and any guesses why the only image available on the show description pages is one of the Summer Tour 1995 poster? Seems like they're just putting lipstick on the pig with the recent changes. Not really fixing the underlying problems, just fancying it up a little...might as well (I guess).

Here's a few: • the Last Post link at the top of the page is not acutally a link. It looks like one, but there seems to be no action associated with it. (Edit: I checked the source code of that section, and there is code for a link, but that's not how it's playing on the rendered page; I'm guessing something runs afoul prior to those lines, which leaves this section's code invalid.) • Cookies don't seem to be working properly. It seems like I have to log on to the site every time I visit it, but even then, it's not clear if I'm logged in or not. Here's an example. When I first hit the site this morning, there was a message that I had a message; I clicked the link and was taken to the message. I typed my response and then hit Send Message, which took me to a login screen. I logged in at that point (didn't we used to have a "Remember Me" checkbox?), and was then taken to the home page, but the response to the message that I had typed was gone. • It's a small thing, but the Preview function for posts doesn't render/display in the same way as the actual post; the subject line is regular text, as opposed to the fancy style that I've quickly become a fan of. And here's my system info if the techies ask: Firefox 14.0.1 running on Kubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. Thanks.
