    Howdy!!
    Just an idea to make navigating the forum part of the website easier and faster. On the right side there is the number indicating how many posts there are for the topic and under that number there is the number of new posts since the last time the viewer looked at that topic. Would it be possible to make it that when someone clicks on the new post number that it takes the viewer to the oldest of the new posts instead of the first page of posts? This would make a big difference in time saving! Thanks so much for all the great work so far to u and the others who have made such a lovely site! Cheers, Jody Are you kind?

    The Rhino folks are aware of this issue and working on it. Which is not as good as having it all fixed right now, but is reason for hope at least.

    cover art for dicks picks series...
    I am rather amazed at the incomplete "cover art" supporting dicks picks if downloaded.please get this right! we are paying customers when we download and the notes and covers should be considered part of the package. do you guys give a rip? i'm looking for the "later ones" including 35, 32, 36 etc. where are they??? -Gary Desilet

    I was trying to post this in the positive vibes area a few times, it kept giving me a message about the proxyserver... something or other. if it makes it here--first time I ever saw that message; please move it. thankx and peace. more positive vibes on the way, dude. if you feel like getting into more specifics, please don't feel we will read it as whining or complaining. all of us have had troubles in life, and that is what the 'loveful' community here is all about. cosmicbadger said it better, we are hear to listen and help with vibes and if you want to tell us more, we'll listen sympathetically. reach out more, if you think it will help. love and peace.

    it wasn't just this site, it was a server meltdown further up the corporate food chain. And yeah, down. For extended periods. I haven't heard any reports since it was up. Whether heavy traffic was a contributing factor, I can't say; there certainly WAS heavier traffic the last few days since the Road Trip announcements, but what else was going on I dunno. Anyway, fingers crossed for a bit more stability.

    was the whole site actually offline/down earlier (about 24 hours ago) or was I unable to see everything because of 'heavy traffic' like the apology page said?

I'd say it sounds like one of those temporary insanity on the system's part kind of deals, but if the problem persists, speak up. The only time I see that message is on another site (one of my clients') for which I have to run Windows in Virtual PC on a Mac, and, yup, Internet Explorer. I'm not seeing it in Firefox. But on the other hand, it's not that uncommon for the system to behave a little oddly in terms of pages loading, usually because something in the great technological food chain is restarting or something. Like I say, if this keeps happening, speak up.

Only moderators, which is for the moment me, can start new topics. This is largely a matter of chaos management. If the comment you want to post fits in one of the existing forum topic (as in this case), feel free to post it. If you're not finding anything addressing the issue you want to post about, send me a PM and if it seems like something people will want to talk about, I'll start a topic. Hope this helps!

I am SO sorry about this. I don't know what's going on. I've reported the problem to Jonathan. Meanwhile, I'm just making it a practice to check the spam queue first thing when I log in to turn your posts loose. I think it's likely that the urls in your sig are setting it off, but it should have learned its lesson by nw and it just hasn't. Assorted site fixes are coming real soon now and I hope they will make this problem a thing of the past, but I'm not a tech. I'm really sorry I can't just fix this.

can someone get my cal expo 92 post out of the spam filter & post it in the forum? It was a big post & I didn't keep a copy - and all I got was "your message has been queued for reveiw by the administrators" - or whatever it says. I've had this problem intermittently - all day yesterday - then it cleared up for a while & now it's back again. I can't post - I don't even expect this one to go through.

Here's something: I was logged on earlier for awhile, then logged off. I happened to look back in a little later and my screenname still showed up in "Who's online", but I must not have been actually logged on because all the "my dead.net" options didn't appear and the "post new comment" area didn't show up when I clicked into any of the forums. When I did log on again (to type this, and to make sure I logged off this time) my screenname only showed up once, so that's an improvement. Nothing serious, just odd. Thanks, MitD ((searching for a cool sigfile))

you just did. Twice. What the message means is that you can't start new threads. If you have a request for a thread you'd like to see, send a PM to marye.

Yes, i realize i posted twice. The first time i typed in my comment and forgot to enter the subject header and sent the message before i realized my mistake. So i posted again. Have to blame my ADHD on that.! Anyway, i can post here, i just can't post a new topic in any of the forums. But i will use your suggestion and contact the moderator Regards, Bob.

Well i'm an idiot. I thought it meant i couldn't post yet. Some forum websites will not allow you to post for awhile if you just registered, until you are approved by the site. I eventually figured out it meant i couldn't create a new topic heading, that it was already pre-determined. Thanks.

I successfully updated my password and successfully logged into the main site. Like most, I suspect, I'm waiting for the presale and understand that my account must be active in order to get tix. However, when I click the link for ticket info and then click the link at the top of the page ("my account"), I login w/ my working user ID and password and get a message that it is invalid. I've tried logging out of the main site and back in to try this again and still have the same issue. Is it because the presale hasn't begun? I'm concerned that it won't let me login to the actula tix site when the time comes. Thx in advance.

You need to create another ID on the ticket sale site. Not the same as your ID here. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
