    Wendy, that's SO bizarre!
    I swear, I'm seeing a perfectly normal User's Recent Posts on my profile too. Every bit as ill-behaved as izzie says, but there. Perhaps an obscure bug is involved here. If the problem persists, please let us know (also what browser you're using and anything else you can think of that might be relevant) and we'll pass it to the wizards for examination...

    Recent Posts and Edits
    Wendy - thanks for clearing that up for me and sorry for not getting it the first time! I have it on both of my accounts - it's under the Shows Attended section there on the right. Can anyone else let me know if they don't have that feature? It doesn't work great, and takes me back to where I'd last posted in a few forums, but that's something at least. I like using the All Recent Posts and sorting by Forum to see what is new for me that way. and Mindbender - yeah, for now. Editing was a concern for the changing-history thing, and because it was hooked in the code with Reply and that was behind the weird chronology of posts issue that folks were asking about. It is being looked at and worked on though to see if the magic-fingered folks can find a way to do 30-minute editing or something without it messing anything else up. Bottom Line: it's a software thing.

    Yes, but that shows ALL recent posts..I'm talking about this.. "Hey now, Rose-- if you go to your own profile page (click My Account on the left there) you'll see a section on the right of that page called User's Recent Posts, which is a partial solution to the problem you're talking about. However, partial is the operative term, as my Recent Posts seem to reflect the reality of several days ago" which was marye's answer to Rose's question about how to get back where you left off instead of having to scroll through the entire history (or click "last" and then scroll back) of a folder to get to things you haven't read yet. I'm not seeing "User's Recent Posts" on my profile or anyone else's. I did see it one time, on one profile, and haven't seen it since.

    Hey now, Wendy. I'm not trying to be smartypants here, but look on the left menu area, under Dead Community. Is there not an All Recent Posts button, above Member Map? I have a non-mod account here (shhhh.....) and I have that feature, so I'm thinking everyone else does too. Am I crazy?

    I don't have "Recent Posts" on the right side of my profile, only the shows I've marked as attended so far. I've believe I've seen recent posts only once, on someone else's profile.Do I need to set something differently to show them?

    1. Re The Scene, the short answer is that the subtopics are actually Forums (don't ask) because we were still getting the hang of some tools. This actually reflects a layer of complexity we don't need, but hey, a learning experience. 2. We sure hope so. It is reported early and often, and on the to-do list.

It's still in the menu but all it is, is (homage to Bubba Clinton) a list of every show's date with the venue below and a link to "details". Wasn't it once a list of links to each indvidual year? As it is now you have to page through every show to find the year you want. So, if you're lookin' for 1972, first you have to find what page 72 starts on by using the process of elimination and once you find it see which page of shows from 72 has your date. Is that clear? A simpler explanation: "Shows By Year" is the same thing as the "All Shows" only with 3 lines as opposed to 1line on "All Shows.". 1 day closer to springtime!!

commercial purposes, but I'd suggest that if you want to post a marketing survey you post in in the Your Own Storefront topic in the forums, which is the designated area for hawking one's wares.

I see that at least one person posted earlier about the Show By Year problem ... um, couldja fix it already? The Show by Year on Deadnet is (or was) a great resource -- very user friendly, easy to search, a great quick "go-to" reference. But now, unless you're looking up, oh, '66 or '67, it's a serious pain. Not even really usable unless you feel like playing Click-on-a-Page Roulette. It's got to be a glitch, and not an intentional "Improvement" (I hope I hope), so I have the feeling that some techie at Deadnet WOULD know how to put it back, if someone would just ask nicely. So, pretty please? :-)

I just clicked on the almanac and went to comics and saw the images coming from Hunter's "Rosemary". Ye Gods! That was not funny. I'd never really listened to those lyrics before and even as I listened to the song (they have that feature now) the lyrics were hard to make out. If the Grateful Dead were really singing songs for those who have passed away (with Hunter & Barlow making up the words) then they were also riffing on ghosts, as Rosemary seemed to be some watery image from a goth H.P. Lovecraft novel. It's still sending shivers up and down my spine. Yikes, this might be enough to scare me away forever!

just go to the What Else Should We Be Talking About? topic and post there. Or do what's currently happening in the Deadheads, Religion and Spirituality topic, start brainstorming a secular version with folks who think there's a need for one, and when it jells we'll launch it.

Yesterday was a one day special on Road Trips with free shipping and you guys missed out on $100 order. That is ridiculous. I can see that Rhino is still screwing up royally on milking this cash cow.

Could we please get a newspaper thread?For "news" about any topic, good, bad or strange. But news that was read in a newspaper and the link to the article is a must so you can go read it if you like. Could we get a GD family concert thread? A place to post any state or county live music. Just asking. Thank you.

I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask but maybe you can steer me to the right place? I have a cassette, " Greatful Dead, Dead Set" on Arista from around 1981. It's a 2 album recording with some of my favorite tracks like Samson & Delilah, Brokedown Palace etc. It's worn out and I'd like to get it on cd. Anyone know where I can order it? Thanks..

I subscribed on the very first day Dave's Picks was advertised back in October, but I still have not received vol. 1. Two calls to customer service led to a replacement being sent (on 23 March I was told - I never got an email confirmation); however this one has still not made it to Europe. All of my previous orders with dead.net arrived within 15 days. I am particularly concerned, and posting this plea here, as DP1 is now sold out and DP 2 will be shipping soon. Marye, can you please help? Thanks.

If the dead.net store doesn't have it (and I assume that is why you posted here, otherwise look there and support the band) then go to Amazon which has 8 left in stock. I love Deadset also. It rocks. Also, Reckoning is the pick for choice acoustics from this run.

Is there a way I can hide the product threads? It's bothering me to have to wade through so many of them to find the threads I want to read. OR how about one catalog thread-showing all of the products in there. I guess they are what fund this site, but...to me it feels like the community feeling is tipping over into sales only.

you might be interested in purchasing, INSTEAD of a mini billboard of a 'related product' obscuring the view (picture) of what you might be wanting to buy. This is a bizarre way to try and sell stuff. To hide what you want the customer to see, behind a picture of group of 'related products'. Or the even more strange when you hide the product the customer wants to see behind a BLANK 'related product' cutain which obscures the product the customer was attempting to view. So the idea is that every purchase should a mystery (grab bag?) at the GD store? "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble, it's what you know for sure that ain't so." M. Twain.

Are there going to be any special events marking the 5th Anniversary of the new deadnet? I think there should be! I wonder if Marye can be persuaded to write a piece for us on her experiences as our heroic moderator over the years. I am sure there are many untold stories she can share with us (amended to protect the innocent and guilty of course). How about it Marye :-)
