Morning Ped Yep - it's definitely quicker today. I appreciate what you're saying about 'new content', but I'm still hoping IP get the notifications fixed ASAP, so it works like a forum is supposed to...!

Quick! Someone register www.basschatchat.co.uk!

Am I imagining it, or do the thread lists now have a subtle grey background that they didn't used to have? It's much easier on the eye.. thank you.

[quote name='krazy_olie' timestamp='1316545869' post='1379551'] Guessing you get on with yours? [/quote] Very much so! I'd be happy to use it for small gigs with a quiet drummer. It's got a hell of a lot of authority for such a small box.

The Promethean head (and cab, for that matter) are indeed top notch. The only thing to bear in mind with the Promethean combo is that it's small, and while it pushes the boundaries of the laws of physics, it doesn't actually break them. What kind of situations would you be using it in?

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1316529084' post='1379237'] Gilmour at his very best IMO. [/quote] That riff he plays at the end of Sheep is one of his finest moments, IMO.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1316522758' post='1379098'] Very slow for me as well but i understand why. [/quote] Me too. Adding a little message to the header at the top of the page ('The site is currently running slowly - please bear with us') would help spread the word and ease frustration, I think...

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1316518473' post='1379012'] The Final Cut is more or less all the crap that never made it onto the Wall. [/quote] Ouch I love that album. Yeah, it's Rog solo, but it's his best solo album... even if he does owe John Prine a few quid in royalties: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl9ZkYViEIs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl9ZkYViEIs[/url]

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316470183' post='1378608'] It is, but unfortunately it's not something we can change. [/quote] Wow.... really? That's a heck of an omission by the developers..! (forum software, not BC.) Frustrating....

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316469560' post='1378596'] A few updates: Speed - now really fast (or should be) Spiderman - should be dancing again soon (happyjack's avatar) Mobile interface - full site now working on mobiles, specific mobile skin app being worked on as an option at the moment. Calender should be on the way - on it Smaller issues raised by others RE browser issues/niggles - all being sorted bit by bit Thanks again for the patience and keep the faith, we're getting there! [/quote] Cheers, Ped - everyone's efforts are appreciated. The biggie for me (and I suspect a few others) is the multiple notifications issue. is that still on the 'to-do' list?

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1316460355' post='1378360'] Try not to make the basslines too complex, WoT [/quote] I think we both know that's not likely.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1316457811' post='1378281'] still the same amount of 'space' [/quote] ..and lots more of it white.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316452998' post='1378204'] The last forum was just as white, so it's probably just adjusting to the new size of the boxes etc.. [/quote] I'm not sure there was so much white space..?

[quote name='Protium' timestamp='1316452738' post='1378195'] Too bright, like staring at a light bulb. Are there any alternative skins? [/quote] I agree... It's tiring to look at. Acres of bright white.

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1316442373' post='1378030'] Tried flushing still very very slow, even slower than dial-up.. How do you flush in Win 7? [/quote] Flushing won't help the performance problem. It's a DB thing.

FWIW, the way I use BC means the number of sub-forums is irrelevant to me. The only time I look for a specific forum is when I'm perusing the for sale areas. Other than that, it's 'view new posts' or the search function.

[quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1316434907' post='1377921'] Whilst I appreciate it's all new and things take a while to sort out I'm not liking the mobile side of things, I'm trying to look at the latest posts on a thread ie "how was your gig last night" and the button on the left takes me to posts from 2008! I then can't shortcut to the end without scrolling through about 120 pages. Of course I might be missing something here, please tell me if so! [/quote] Tap the star to the left of the thread title, and it'll take you to the last unread post. Ped.. an FAQ for this stuff would *really* help...

ha ha - thanks for the responses. Bottomendian wins the prize for guessing correctly. I've had a listen to some of his stuff on YouTube (just solo voice and piano) and he's not bad at all. No secrecy, really.. I'm just not really sure what we're recording and what it's for yet. I'll let you know more when I know myself..!

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316418548' post='1377643'] See thread RE latency in site issues forum [/quote] Ped.. May I suggest a locked 'Known Issues / FAQ' thread you can keep updated, and refer people to, might be a good idea...?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1316417517' post='1377636'] I think it depends on why you've been booked. If it's as a result of some other band/gig etc. then use whatever bass you were using for that. If it's just because you play bass, are available and at the right price then you'll probably need to take both. [/quote] I've booked by the chap who is the MD of the session, so he knows what he's getting. I'll be taking all three, just in case...

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1316415025' post='1377612']I've found that when using the iphone, you don't get the option to go to the last post in a thread - it goes to the the first post and then once in the thread there is no option to go to the last page, only a 'next page' button. This makes it impossible to contribute to threads which are more than a couple of pages long - I'm not going to click through 196 pages of daily annoyances just to get to the latest one!!!!![/quote] Tap the little star to the left of the thread title, and it'll take you to your last unread post. It's been mentioned elsewhere that the mobile site is not finished yet - there's a bit of tweaking to be done.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1316385926' post='1377540'] As far as the notifications are concerned... There are far too many options there to make sense of. When the techs get a chance, how about one of them posting a screen dump showing how to get the notifications back to the old 'one notification per topic' format? [/quote] I don't think it can be done at the moment - it's on the to-do list, I think....

Despite not being a fan of the show (and its ilk) I was quite chuffed to get the phone call. The big question is - J or P?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316382208' post='1377446'] Oh, I see. Sorry, I don't know. Will pass it up the chain. Use the 'view new content' bit and select the type (i.e 'topics I have posted in') to get a list of threads you want to see if the notifications are getting out of hand, for now. [/quote] Cheers, Ped. You must feel like we're hammering you...

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316381981' post='1377439'] You won't get emails at all if the box isn't ticked [/quote] I think we're at cross purposes - all we want is a single notification when a reply is posted - not one for every instance....
