    250 dpi
    I just submitted a pic at 250 dpi and I did not see it in the preview, but non of the low res showed before either, and it is not showing after submitting. The 200 dpi one showed after the 2nd submit after the failed 300 dpi so I'm thinking 250 is a no go too. I will be AFK for a few hours and will check back later. Mary, you will probably be gone for the day, if it failed on your end I will resubmit at 225 dpi and that might be the final test since 200 works.

    Ok looks like 200 dpi works
    With my time not being my own all too often yesterday and most of today did not work out as planned, thankfully nothing "bad". Cool I see the pic at my account and the show page. I only submitted from the original window twice. The first failed on your side at 300 dpi and the 2nd at 200 dpi went through. I did not hit submit on the 2nd test window I had open after the first failure. Aye, don't know what all yet but do know 300 dpi is a no go and 600x400 is the max. I will post here again when I try another one, only submit one at a time and wait for confirmation of failure or success before submitting another one. I won't go crazy I'll just try testing with a few that I want to upload anyway. Time to head home and write my story for the show 20 years ago today. A whole bunch, as opposed to ½ a bunch :P, of firsts for me that nite.

    well, something you did worked...
    though based on the above I think we don't know what yet! Still, this is progress, thanks much, and I have turned your pic loose.

    M'kay, I went like I was
    M'kay, I went like I was going to upload something new from the start in a new tab and @ 200, just like the 1st @ 300, I did not see anything other than the scaled 150px × 88px above the browse field when I would click on preview. Then I tried 150, 100, 72 dpi and each time I did not see the image when I previewed. I left the first tab open after hitting submit just in case and used another tab to go to my account page and it still showed, "No photos uploaded yet for this member (yet)." So I went back to the tab I left open after submitting, clicked on edit, browsed to a 200 dpi version, same size of 600x350, uploaded, hit preview and I see it. I did not see it originally after hitting submit and thought that might be due due to waiting for it to be approved but apparently not. I tried to upload other versions and it kept reverting back to the 200 dpi each time I hit preview. I don't recall hitting submit again, a 2nd time (1st w/200 dpi) after the 300. Perhaps it took what it liked and for me to try and change it again I have to click on submit??? I tried to change it again and paying a little more attention I see it listing both files with delete checked next to the first one after clicking on preview. Unlike initially browsing for files once submit is hit the page has view and edit at the top and it appears it will not change the upload until submit it hit again. Maybe I did hit submit after initially hitting the upload button with the 200 dpi version. Doing too many thing can cause this confusion, lol. Well it is getting kinda late here and I'm not really where I should be at this time so I think I'll leave things where they're at for now as to not mess up the system too much, lol, and come back to this tomorrow. If I have to redo what I tried to upload today no biggie but I'm thinking where I left it is ok since resubmitting replaces the current image, we'll see tomorrow. I am game for trying it with a test file that can be nuked to determine what is the max dpi the system will accept as long as you are willing. Sometimes outside testing is better but I don't want to disturb or take up too much of your time Mary. I am guessing from your last comment you'd like to know too. It's got me a little curious at this point, a bit confused with trying too many things and it might be best to try from the start fresh(er) tomorrow.

    OK 300 dpi is no good and I
    OK 300 dpi is no good and I still am not remembering anything from that one info page, lol. It could have been something "hidden" and outdated I found. I'll try again at 200 since I am into figuring & testing these kinds of things then we'll know.

    When I clicked on upload for
    When I clicked on upload for the pic @ 683x400 300dpi I got a message at the top, "The image was resized to fit within the maximum allowed resolution of 600x400 pixels". So me being me I had to mess around a lil more, :) Now I know the max res for sure, most likely max file size (a 1.2 meg .jpg or .gif would be very high dpi but not so much for a .png file) and well dunno about max dpi as of yet. If the software does not choke then we know it will take 300 dpi. Perhaps that 1000(?) I saw on the elusive info page is for dpi not res???I finally hit submit a few minutes ago.

    it is listed in the moderation queue, but when I click it there is no image there, and also no file. This, shall we say, happens a lot, so if we can figure out what does and doesn't work that would be useful.

I think it could be done, though I tear my hair at the thought of retrofitting what's already up. It's a good idea, as we've been getting a lot more artwork from folks lately.

The package was up for pre-order for a few hours, including a new Road Trips volume (Winterland From Egypt with Love), then gone again. Very confusing.

It is indeed where people who sign up share shows by passing them along for the next person to copy the CDs and then send them on. There is a variety of Grateful Dead, Garcia, Ratdog, Phil & Friends and even other artists music to share. Click back to forums, then scroll down to the vineyard, click and browse.

Why does it always say "You are not allowed to post new forum topic"? Are we only allowed to respond to Admin. issued Topics on this board?

In short, yes. However, if there's a topic you'd like started, we're generally pretty responsive.

I have no idea. Delighted as I am to see you around these parts, it seems to me all the various Obama fundraiser topics are alive and well, other than the one with the original press release, which did get rather summarily removed as arrangements were not exactly firm at the time. If you want to PM me the particulars on this mystery please do!

its because no-one pays attention to the independent candidates, most of us are just concerned with the two bloated bloodsucking political parties that have the most money (our money of course) that's all they see. you must look beyond these vampires....plenty of other candidates out there but it's harder for them to get on the ballot, because, again, money!!

I have a question: say I wanted to make sure dead.net folks were aware that HeadCount was auctioning off certain music-related items, like: 1. A Warren Haynes, custom Gibson Les Paul Guitar, signed by Warren himself 2. A Pearl Jam poster from their 2008 tour, signed by every band member 3. A Fender guitar signed by every member of the Allman Brothers Band and Bob Weir & RatDog 4. A guitar signed by every member of My Morning Jacket 5. A Rothbury poster signed by Snoop Dogg, Dave Matthews and three members of Phish 6. A Mile High Festival poster signed by Dave Matthews, John Mayer and 10 others 7. A pair of Congas played by Jay Lane of RatDog along side Bob Weir at a historic private performance in Washington D.C. on April 7th (signed by both) Where would I post something like that? (I get HeadCount emails, let me know if you want me to forward you the email with the auction link) ((Snoop Dogg, Dave Matthews and Phish - you know that's the after party to hit!))

I just wanted to post the auction list somewhere. The Ratdog/Allmans autographed guitar is still only $1000, and the Bob Weir autographed congas are an affordable $370. thanks, Mark
