    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.

    "Recent posts"
    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.

    A couple questions -- on main Forum page, only "The Scene" subtopics are listed. how come? when going to a specific topic and clicking on "# new" you go to the first post, not the newest one. can/will this be changed?

I brought this up in the "Announcements" section but there was alot of "other stuff" going on there and it was maybe over looked. I grew up in Inglewood - saw my first rock show at the Forum, a group called Cream - also saw the Jefferson AIRPLANE (NOT Starship...), Jimi (twice), the Stones, Dylan, C.S.N. & Y., C.C.R. & the Grateful Dead (6 times) - ALL at the Forum. Many fond memories. My son is 16 and has not been to any shows of any kind yet. A while back he said he was mad at me because, through me, the Grateful Dead have become his favorite band, and he will never be able to see them. Now, because of this tour, he will be able to see the closest thing this side of that "big show in the sky". I have 2 ticket for the 9th and am very happy - BUT I just learned from a co-worker about the Stagehand Union strike at the Forum.See - http://www.ia33.org/action/la_forum.htm and/or http://www.justiceattheforum.com/ Neil Young canceled his show rather than cross the picket line. We have had some grocery store stickes as my boy has been growing up and we never cross the line.I hope someone is looking into this. I'm not trying to be negative. I am so glad that they are playing at the inauguration of the man I voted for. "Lotta poor man got to walk the line Just to pay his union dues" -Peace-

Cought some "typos" after I posted - ah well.Also, meant to say that I hope this isn't the wrong place to bring this up. Lots of time before the show - hopefully all will work out well. Peace out...

He's directed a bunch of episodic television, mostly on Disney Channel. He was nominated for a film directing award too: the 28th Golden Raspberry for Worst Director for "Daddy Day Camp" He's no Opie Cunningham. ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

there has been some work on the servers happening behind the scenes, and it has periodically caused things to go a bit wacky. Generally it goes away on its own, but if the problem persists do speak up. (This also applies to the epidemic of duplicate posts and overenthusiasm of the spam filter, for which I do apologize.)

Hey wings, what I heard was that they would be sent out about 2 weeks before the show dates, so hoping to get mine for greensboro about end of March or a bit earlier, said that they would send a trackin' # when they sent out the tix. so expect them in about 2 months. :) hope this helps. peace

Here's what I received in the body of my confirmation email: "By choosing UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS Worldwide Express, it does NOT necessarily mean that your tickets will arrive two days after processing your order. Tickets will be shipped approximately two weeks before the event date; however they might be shipped earlier. If you have not received your tickets within one week of the event date, please email deadtickets@musicotoday.com immediately and we will happily assist you."

I have been trying to access this site for months, but the site continues to announce that it will be back at a future date. I apologize for bothering people with this question if the answer is obvious, but I am completely curious about it as the site has been down since well before Christmas. Thanks!

and my understanding of the byzantine legal ramifications is that Dead.net has nothing to do with it. Much as I personally would love to have it here, I don't know what the deal is either.

Thanks for the info marye. I guess it's just as simple as people having different opinions about who gets what and who owns what. I guess I'm glad I've been able to track down all of the Pure Jerry releases from other sources. It's just more proof that silliness still prevails in this world.

Hi, I can't seem to find any instructions to mail order tickets for Spring Tour...can you direct me? Of course I would like to do it today...so maybe I'm too late to ask. As I remember from many years ago, the process was quite exact & sadly I only remember some of the details like 3x5 index cards and cashiers checks or was it money orders??Thanks

We usually stayed in a motel by the University. On El Camino Real by the Sizzler. A few miles away, but suffice it to say there were many tapestries in the windows and nobody ever closed a door all weekend! ;) Just remember, all the rooms look alike, so it's easy to find yourself in a room full of new friends. Kinda the point anyway, right? :)

Is about the photos we post. It used to be that I could see the username of who had posted a photo. Now I only see the person's icon. So if I don't know who's user photo or image is showing-have no clue as to who has put up the photo. Is this a change in the system? ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

except for the rare day I take off, I check the spam filter daily, so posts that get caught up in this fashion don't stay that way long enough to do anything like disrupt a vine. Though when responses are running a couple of hundred per hour it gets a little surreal.
