    Unable to log into site/forums after initial setup of account.
    Hello, Why do I have to create a new account EVERY time I want to log onto the site? I have been through the account creation 3 times now using a variety of different email addresses and usernames. This is my 4th, I am running out of unique email addresses and usernames! The first was to actually purchase from the store. The initail setup goes fine, I recieve the emai, I log in, I am prompted to change my password which I do and everything is fine until I log out. When I try to log back in I get "The username "username" has not been activated or is blocked." Help! Corky Laputa/Wakajazz/Anothertribe

    Thanks Marye!
    I know you don't like the spam as much as we don't. I think my suggestion about posting dead links instead of live ones would solve the problem though. If somebody really wants to go to a site they can write the address down or cut and paste.

    I have found hundreds of profile pages of spam and phishing sites. I have found very few ads in the forums. I just nuked two from the same guy and nuked his account as well. Where are you seeing these "ads"?

    ads out of freakin' control
    Please do something! This morning I opened up dead.net and the first two pages of "all recent posts" were the numbnuts who post ads.. I know you guys clean it up soon as you can but can't you do something like get rid of the LIVE links, just leave'em dead. It's not much to ask to get rid of this nasty little reminder of the season... PS -- Anybody who clicks on these links is ONLY MAKING THINGS WORSE. They are tracking hits and it encourages them!!

    No venues listed when searching by Venues>Country>State>City
    I wanted to check the venues that the Grateful Dead played in Portland Oregon for a series of geocaches I'm doing. But when I go to see where they were, I can go down to the city level, but when I check to see what venues there are, it comes up blank. All the page shows are the red triangles, with no hyperlink to the venues. Is this normal?? "All Who Wander Are Not Lost....."

    so about the Fan Pix uploads
    As many have had occasion to observe, the Fan Pix upload is not working just exactly perfect of late. Our intrepid tech Jonathan has made some tweaks that may help; if you continue to experience difficulties, please report details here. One complicating factor appears to be that there is some caching involved and it takes up to 10 minutes for the file to actually be written to the server. If you don't see your pic right away, that may be the issue, and it won't hurt to wait a bit before panicking and/or re-uploading the file half a dozen times. But we think there may be several issues happening here, so we would appreciate details on your experiences over the next few days while we're monitoring this. Thanks!

    one thing is that people can change their names pretty much on the fly. But a lot of them also include spaces or underscores or other none-too-visible characters in their names, too. If yu're having persistent issues with a particular person on this, lemme know and I'll look into it.

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.
