    Thanks for the heads up
    marye. There ARE some real oddballs showing up now-people blabbering nonsense and hit-and-run insults. And now at least one instance of harrassment-OY! Am sure the 99.9999% lovely folk here will stick together and beware.********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

    heads up folks
    Regarding the chat room: when the new version went live, we discovered that people can access the chat room without being logged on to Dead.net. As it usually does, this led to some problems, mainly with drive-by types who came in and posted nasty stuff and vanished. We thought we had that security hole plugged, as it were, but I'm hearing more reports of strange posts from people no one knows, and I've just had a really alarming PM from one of the ladies here who was in the chatroom, ran into a person with a perfectly legit-sounding name, and was invited to a private chat by said person. No sooner did she get there than he commenced some fairly vile sexual harassment. Following up, I find we have no such user. Of COURSE. I have sent up an emergency flare in Jonathan's direction. But meanwhile, we encourage you to exercise some street smarts in the chat room. In particular, do not go into private chats with people you do not know well. Hang out with them in the public chat room to get a sense of who they are. I'll keep you posted on the technical side, but meanwhile, watch each card etc. Thank you. ME with the mod hat on

    Okay...
    the chat room should now be accessible through the convenient link on the left. It is running the new software. Please report any issues, and chat on!

I've reported the problem to Jonathan, though of course it's Sunday. As to being able to log on from one computer but not another, I'm as mystified as you are. What happens when you try to log on?

I read in the online Santa Rosa, California Press Democrat that Mickey Hart's Mass Drums played at Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park today. There is an interview with him in the paper. It was part of the Green Apple Festival and free valet bike parking was supplied.Listen for the drums to continue thru the night.

Well, I type in my username & password etc.. the screen flashes (to what should say log in successful ) & there's my name under online users, but login/sign up is also showing. I can't post a comment or the like. Then I try a few more times, just to see inkowurider about 50 times, so I give up in defeat, as I'm seeing posts that I'm all over the place... I'm now sure it has nothing to do with deadnet, which is good. Hells Bells!

Marye I found this.... Keyboardist Danny Federici, who for four decades played alongside rock star Bruce Springsteen as part of the E Street Band and helped define his rollicking sound, has died of melanoma. He was 58. RIP Danny

The new chat room is not functioning at this point in time. To put it in layman's terms: it's FUBAR. Or you could say it's broken, it's malfunctioning, it's not happenin', it's ruined, it's busted, it's kaput, it's dead in a NOT grateful way, it's conked out, it's crashed, it's quit workin', it's not usable...Capiche?

I think the GD have done pretty much the same thing, just ask the Rhino company... And I believe they did it again a couple of days ago... I have a feeling there's a nice sized tax write-off somewhere in all that press conference hoopla... YMMV

I thought it would be very cool ... well never mind it was cool a few minutes ago. So with the chatroom down on the staging site, does this mean it is 'bout to reappear here on the regular site. Carefull G-mom, the junk you sell could end up on Antique Road and appraised at a cool million, or not.
