The uploader seems to be working fine.

Hi all The work to develop the website will continue for the next few days. This is due to an essential restructuring of the marketplace to make the running and improvement of the website viable. There will be an annual subscription required to advertise items over a certain price point in the marketplace - similar to the requirement over at our American friend's website over at TalkBass where you need to be a contributing member to advertise items for sale. This system has worked well for them and has been welcomed by their regular membership. This will be a fairer system than at the moment where the vast majority of advertisers who use Basschat to sell items never contribute a single penny. Whilst our WebDev Geoff implements the changes there may be a few forum downtimes - stay tuned!!

I'll reset your password and mail you a new one - log on with the new one and try and change it.

Cheers all - and cheers Jake, I've sent the enquirer your mobile number.

[quote] Hello I wonder if you can help, please. My 11 year old daughter is learning to play the double bass at school. We've bought a 3/4 sized bass for her to practice at home. It's an MB6071 3/4 Chinese-made instrument, made by 'Gear4Music', second hand and well-worn, but the best we could afford. She says it needs restringing, as it doesn't sound the same as the one at school and the strings are bumpy and worn. She also needs some rosin. Please could you recommend some strings and rosin that would be appropriate for her bass? Thanks ever so much. Kind regards, Tiffany= [/quote] I'll reply with the 'best' answer! Ta

I think we are done?

Hi Jerry - Welcome to the forums!

A lot of Quo love here!! There's a New Year's Eve bash here in Horsham if anyone is local - [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/gig.php?id=261515"]http://www.lemonrock...g.php?id=261515[/url] I'll buy you a pint and give you a Basschat Lanyard if you come!

Once the new classifieds is 100% functional the old marketplace will be retired but existing topics left open for sales to continue.

Guys We are still in the process of installing/fixing/de-bugging the marketplace, so at the moment WYSIWYG is a work in progress

It's a problem with the uploader causing this - it's on the list of things to pay for to get fixed!

Several of the skins have been corrupted, so we just have the one at the moment.

Yes, it is a site issue. One of the many things that await the attention of an expert webdev - when we have enough funds to pay for one!

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1353586734' post='1876275'] Ped reference your recent spammers attack, the only solution is to ban all proxy servers, people will have to log in only through genuine internet providers, yahoo, gmail, btinternet and similar. Once you do that you will see a massive drop in hackers, spammers and bot's multiple registrations. Of course when you do that you can forget about those astronomic figures of visitors that you've quoted in the first post of this thread, but glory was never built on numbers and I would say that perhaps quite certainly 70% of those visitors represented illicit potential threat, that and the various search engine gathering data. The human contingency in those figures is minimal compared to the other "baddies" I've mentioned. [/quote] I'm fairly sure there is no way all the proxy servers can be blocked as there are probably millions of them out there. A hook could be put together to block some, but it would only block approx 75% of proxy servers, and my SQL just isn't that good! Another thing to consider is that some Universities, Companies or even Countries, like Singapore, access the web through a gateway proxy. So users coming from that country or using connections from Universities, Libraries or Companies that get access online through proxies will be blocked. It may affect some AOL users too.

We were working to install upgrades and features, which was tricky - then we got hacked - one step forward, two steps back and all that. Both our virtually unpaid webdevs are out of the UK at the moment, so things are getting fixed slower than usual.

Everything from the consumers end seemed to be working fine! Ps. Have donated a few bob now! [/quote] Just trying to make it bigger and better as it grows.
