Can you try a different browser or device?

What have you done?! 😂

Well... I play in a Doom band at the moment. The current set is 45minutes... about 6 songs

2,820

@ped and I keep discussing a NEBB

In certain subforums postcounts don't change

Haha! I had forgotten that!

Wow, that was truly heartwrenching to read. However, it's worth remembering that while basslines that you used to play may currently be out of reach you may be able to play with a single finger? I would say not to give up. Motivation and determination are the key to any success

Make sure you have adequate plug sockets! Having a square room is nice but having multiple rooms or awkward shaped rooms is actually better from the perspective of noise Get along some local manufacturers or similar People are always too polite to open the hobnobs. You'll need to do this for them If you have food or drink, ALWAYS have something on hand for the inevitable spill If possible have something to break up the day and set areas for people to demo stuff. If anyone can provide a headphone amp that can really give you the chance to create a demo area If possible get cash upfront, I had to cover costs myself after no-shows at one event

Yep, I hosted two of them One in St Ives and one in Somersham a few years back. Decent turnout but I couldn't find the time to keep it up

Btw this will be the 3rd EABB 😛

Conversion rate can sod off I hate the pop-ups and think they cheapen the site. They're also still not complying with Ad-size which we've been pretty prescriptive with.

To say the least Ped is bugging the advertisers regularly. We have stated on multiple occassions "no pop-ups" and it's taking a while to get it through... Out of our hands at this point in time, other than making loud shouty noises

Shouldn't have changed during the update, although there's a possibility that the software providers have taken a stance of "better safe than sorry" if they were implementing new security measures to cater for GDPR more eloquently and didn't have an effective way to translate from the previous version to the current. I know that certain countries have particularly harsh rules regarding "opting in" to emails and these can be a bit of a moving target. Unfortunately, we need to keep up to date with the software updates until I manage to write my own forum software or we risk serious security breaches and falling too far behind to be able to update. We do discussing building our own forum software, but it's going to be one HELL of a project to get to a point where we're able to do that. Apologies if this has changed from the update, I wasn't made aware from the update notes. @ped has kindly offered to help you get back to where you need to be

You should install ad blocker, it will keep your browsing experience ad free. It basically does the same as Nivea No7 does for spots! Available at your local Boots retailer!

I think that display thing is because a sidebar ad is being forced in even if there is no sidebar. It's another thing on my grievance list with the advertisers at the moment

Hi Chezz, Yes completely agree. This is the result of a new advertising service attempting to optimise our performance. It doesn't seem to have worked in the first instance to say the least! We're waiting for ducks to get in a line their side I'm afraid

They won't be anywhere near this offensive once ducks are in a line Adverts should be helpful, not annoying. That's what we're working towards!

Zoom out?

A new one I'm afraid

Well the elixir one doesn't seem so bad anymore We're working on it I promise! But waiting to hear back and unless they're slow replying I don't want to take it offline so that they can debug it. After a short settling in period we should start to see much more relevant ads too. More inline with what the site is actually about, or in cases even the particular thread

We're attempting to use a new advertiser. Unfortunately it looks like there's going to be a bit of a bedding in period while they sort out the code

Hi HappyJack, Yes mine was affected too. Seems to be a symptom of the site upgrade unfortunately. We never seem to catch a break on these things!

People use internet explorer?

Forgot to update my location!
