    Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.

    thx marye, i understand the thinkin, however i know i've signed up for newletters,etc, both on this page and on the old one, guess what! nada,nothing,zero,zip.. never ever recieved one? is it because i never registered as a deadhead(freaks unite)? i really wasn't registering for anything in 72-73, if you catch my drift. i have gotten to read the newsletters thanks to "the Archives". and yes yes, i"ve seen quite an addition of members since the dead went to sirus radio, like waves n a beach...

    I think it's a fairly recent addition, and mostly for the benefit of people who don't check in here that often. Every time a newsletter goes out or there's a new release we see new people and folks we haven't seen for a while. So if you're here early and you already get plenty of email from us, probably no need to sign up for more. But if you think you might be distracted for a while, not a bad plan to sign up.

    Yes Mr Gallagher does say he loves his daughter not his dog Yes I hate Manchester United and I also hate Manchester City, who are now owned by Thaksin Shinowath no less, former PM of Thailand on whose watch thousands of drug users were shot while trying to 'run away from the police'. Not sure what Noel and Liam think about that. I don't exactly hate Oasis, they are not bad for a not-very-original pub band I suppose I am originally a Londoner from Peckham. I used to speak like Dick van Dyke but now sound like Prince Charles. Oh and I support Tottenham!

    all the way, baby! Ya gotta love a team that could cause the NHL to change the rules during the playoffs. When I was a kid I played goaltender. And believe me, I had my own way to deal with such antics... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    being overly observent, i was wondering how long the "e-mail sign-up" has been on the home page,below "who online". seems to me, if i'm a member why do i not an email reminder, wouldn't such events,offers n'releases already be posted on the home page? seems redundant! i do kind of remember it on the old dead.net but am just noticing it here now isay ol'chap, owabouta spot o'tea, yes yes roll1 4me

I think I got kicked out for inactivity... about 5 minutes or so without posting. anyways, there is still a 30 second delay for posts? can't the 'puter specialists remove that delay? or cut it down to 5 seconds. hard to actually 'chat' if there is a delay.

I wonder if the chat room, would in effect, replace the usual forum, and the number of posts would drop significantly... but the chat room still seems a bit too sporadic and full of hinky delays at the moment me thinks. peace.

let's keep an eye on the situation. I see the duplicate post bug is alive and well, so there may be underlying issues. The whole site is about to migrate to a new hosting service, which may take care of some of the weird behavior. Or introduce a fresh crop....

was slow the other day, too. Tiger Lilly and I were in a kind of Frick and Frack bit, going back and forth between slow private messages and trying to use the chat troom. are you here? are YOU here?... also, this may be, probably, a local issue, but on my old iboook Mac, 2001 version, I can't chat at all. I can see and use the forum,no problemo, but I can't read the chat stuff or write on it. My old lady's 'puter is windows, some old HP piece of shit lap top, but that works fine with chat. is the chat windows only?? seems unfair if so. I'm frigging Steve Jobs over here. ( -:

Hey folks. Not much time for the chatroom these days but dropping by to say hello. Hope everyone is doing great. Enjoy the summer!

Where you goin' with that Mac in your hands? Chat works fine with Firefox on linux, so it's certainly not "Windoze Only." The chatroom is heavily dependent on a browser technology called Javascript, though, and if it's been a while since you updated your web browser software then that may be the issue. Just makin' a suggestion, that's all. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

with Firefox, and chat works fine. But a 2001 model might not run something necessary, as mine seems to be at the old end of what the software will run on.

old dog can't learn those new trix... the only Firefox I ever heard of was a piss poor Clint Eastwood movie, or was it Tommy Cruise... the only Java I know comes from beans. you know, a cup of 'Joe' ( -; seriously, though, not a big deal really to borrow her 'puter, and as I remember, I think I got up to Panther on the Mac software, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, so I am outdated again, because the original version wouldn't run a newer ipod or something like that. thanks for the advice and helpful hints. and once you go Mac, you never go back! what's better than a Mac in your lap? (please fill in the blanks with a sure to be deleted by the moderator POOR TASTE joke) yuk yuk yuk peace.

the chatroom has had lag issues quite a bit lately, so it's probably not just you!

I really haven't experienced the "lag time" thing. I think perhaps some of our older members may actually be nodding off at the keyboard. Hence the lag?
