Let's get chatchat

Hi mate Thanks for the post. A few people have mentioned this. It's a limitation of the software as far as I'm aware so it won't be an easy (or cheap) job to change, bit it's on the wishlist. When opening a thread click the star or blob to go to first new post... you probably knew that already but it may help. Cheers ped

Here we go http://basschat.co.uk/forum/82-other-instruments/ There's no post limit requirement and any registered member can post. We'll keep an eye on it and see what happens. Enjoy!

[/quote] I'll have a think about it more seriously when I have sorted out one or two things here first. To open a 'sister' site would be much easier than it was setting up from scratch. Cheers

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1325707108' post='1486501'] You were more direct last time Ped: [/quote] Haha I remember that. I'm getting soft in my old age.

It's a nice idea, I even thought about having some other forums under the basschat 'brand' like drumchat, guitarchat etc but ultimately I don't want to water down the concept. Without any real knowledge or interest in the other instruments I don't think I would have the same enthusiasm to support them long term. Basschat creates enough work alone!

Maybe.

One day we will have a BC stand at the show. Probably just Nellie tied to a few kegs of beer and a half arsed logo sprayed on the wall. There might be some chairs.

I'll be there so will keep an eye out for BCers... make sure you wear your polo shirt! ped

Just to back up what Tom has said - he's been incredibly patient and one of the mods even called OTPJ and spoke to him RE return of the bag and still nothing. Bit of a shame. ped

Hi Greg I'll tell you my settings for my MM model when I'm back at mine after Xmas. Cheers

Mwaaaa haaa haaaa *rubs hands with glee* Average time spent per user is 10 mins per visit.

I know it's tacky but I wanted to say Merry Xmas to everyone on BC. It's been a rollercoaster year and a very important one for the community. Thanks to the hard work from Ben, the admins and the mods we have managed to sort most of the problems with the new software. Thanks to everyone who has donated, it makes a big difference to the way the site works and has recently paid for another database move. Thanks also to people who have bought a Polo from the shop. 2011 was a good year for 'Bass Bashes' too, with bashes around the country involving hundreds of members. I still think these are a key part of what makes the community so strong. I promise that when we have some money I'll set up a BC party/bash to say thanks properly. These bashes have raised a great amount of money for charity and have been entirely organised by generous BC members. It's good to see people using the 'report' function to alert the mods to posts in the wrong area etc - thanks to the mods for picking those up and keeping the forum tidy. There have been typically few incidents this year behaviour wise and the forum continues to be a welcoming and vibrant community as a result. We have some exciting new ideas and features planned for 2012 so keep your eyes peeled. We still have some little things to sort in the meantime, so it's going to be a busy year for sure.

Press CTRL+F5

Should be fine, that's what I normally do. Enjoy and keep it real

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1324315677' post='1472940'] That would be a fine idea. And have the "How Was Your Gig Last Night?" and "What Are You Listening Too Right Now" threads moved there? [/quote] Done. I called it 'General Discussion' and put more info in the subtitle.

I always imagined 'General Bass Discussion' to be about music chat more generally, as it would probably have a bass heavy slant being on a bass forum...

Think it's so you can leave a comment as to why you deleted the post, if necessary

[quote name='Beefyeggo' timestamp='1323867725' post='1467943'] I post regularly on a couple of watch and clock interest forums and it's exactly the same there. If the guy has been around a long while and has a history of trading with the other guys there I have no worries about sending a watch out on approval, or paying by BT before I see a watch coming in. One useful thing they have there is a 'Heroes and Villains' sticky. Here members can post brief recommendations of really exceptional service they get from dealers, good deals they've done with other members and equally name people/dealers who have given shoddy service, ripped them off etc. Obviously there's a fine line between criticism and libel but if somebody says 'I wouldn't deal with that person again as long as I have a hole in my arse' you kind of get the message. Just a thought... Rob [/quote] TZ-UK right? Love that forum... I have tried to avoid it recently because it always ends up with a costly bank transfer! Nice to hear people are enjoying the forum. ped

I think Hamster is playing with the settings because previously any deleted posts disappeared completely instead of going into the 'recycle bin'.

That's how we roll

Obviously I can see it but didn't know you guys couldn't. It's not meant to have gone anywhere so consider it reported and under investigation!
