THE NEW FORUM

[capt. scotty]

So it looks like the new board has the option to start polls....How can we do that? I dont see an option to after I click on new topic.

Also - is there no way to try to transfer the threads from the other music section again?? I think once I get used to this I'll be fully on board with the new forum, but not having any thread that was started or posted in within the last year and a half not being there is a bummer.

interesting...very interesting

Unti we can post video and pictures I don't see how this place could possibly be better.  So far it seems like we can do less than before.  Maybe I just don't get it.

i don't know what you're talking about.

look, it's video, and it's in glorious widescreen, and all you have to do is copy and paste the video url. can't make it any easier.

Yea, 11 years in business and the place where everyone in my neighborhood knows each other closed by the crazy safety orange vest let me get hit by a someone biking on the sidewalk so i can make a citizens arrest while taking photos of the girls who work in the coffee shop and i drag my limped leg dog whom I'm trying to mate with pretty young dog around the block landlord. At this moment the only thing good coming out of it is hopefully not seeing that man everyday. Some changes are better than others!  :)

Wow thanks CC for all your wonderful work!!!  :o  Today was a little epic day of change, not only did my online community change a bit, but I just found out that my local coffee shop (also a daily habit) is being evicted in a month  :'(

NO nonononononononono!   :'(

Aw man.  Sad news, bluesky.   :-\

indeed...i remember trying to embed vimeo and other stuff on the old forum and it wouldnt work. the only video i was ever able to embed was youtube

so we have a 'ticket' marketplace in the new forum, which is cool, but lets say we wanna exchange other goods, like vinyl; which category do you think would be most appropriate? 

[CC]

the music section is fine for that

[megalicious]

this is badass.

so I was looking for a pm I sent to Walt maybe a week ago.  After some searching I found the sent items box but it was full of messages people sent to me in 2005, which I think was before the last time I left and rejoined.  No big deal, just weird.

[CC]

yeah, same here. guess that happened to everyone. weird indeed.

btw, you can change the layout of your inbox by clicking on these arrows, or these depending on your current layout. you might find one easier than the other

[johnnYYac]

the music section is fine for that

So, no general "Marketplace" section of the forum, for buy-sell-trade of all non-ticket merch?  I just ask as it was part of the original proposal supported by dozens of forum members.  I think the forum would be slightly improved if we can seperate the commerce from the commentary.

I know you listen to our ideas and appreciate the "Tickets" section.  Thanks for all you do for this forum and this band.

[CC]

Not yet. Not counting tickets and posters there's really not that much trading/selling going around at the moment, but we're keeping everything in mind.

Awesome.  Thanks!

I think you're right that there is no real need for further changes at the moment.  And we're all getting used to the big changes to the forum, which I must say I like more and more each day.  I lost some PMs and posts to past threads, but its like the occasional purge of the email inbox- painful at first but a breath of fresh air and a clean slate!
