Members RoadRanger Posted April 13, 2015 Members Share Posted April 13, 2015 Oh, if you want this to not be a giant cluster, just switch to Xenforo.The TalkBass forums recently changed to that after their research showed that this forum software just wasn't viable . But hopefully the "fixes" here are close to being done . IMO the #1 fix needed is email notification of posts to subscribed threads. Without that nobody knows to come back so they don't .

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 So can we rant now without being sent off to the "rant room" ? Personally, I've never been a huge fan of the rant room... but OTOH, when people complain about things in the middle of threads, or post their suggestions, bug reports and concerns in a variety of forums and threads across the entire site, it's a lot easier for them to be missed or overlooked. Having one centralized place for them makes them easier to keep track of. Believe me, I'm just as interested in seeing the remaining bugs and annoyances worked out as anyone.

Members Anderton Posted April 13, 2015 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well with the "jumping cursor during text entry" fixed, there's clearly hope. Most software companies have separate forums for problems and issues. I like that approach, because it means other forums can remain on-topic.

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted April 13, 2015 CMS Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 RR, I'm hoping for that. HC/MF/GC basically put everything on "hold", which I clearly saw as "cancelled" as far as both Hand's-on (for the print catalog) and Expert reviews.

Members Iamthesky Posted April 13, 2015 Members Share Posted April 13, 2015 Excellent! I found out about this first from Mark L's facebook post about it, and I bubbled with barely containable excitement for a totally unreasonable amount of time. (I'm blaming that excitement for the folky pleasant 4/4 song I just wrote turning into pretty darned good punk once we started playing it.) I'll be spreading the word and bringing people in. I want everyone I know to get as much out of HC and her community as I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dendy Jarrett Posted April 13, 2015 Members Share Posted April 13, 2015 Iamthesky! Thank you for this. It is exactly what we hope folks will do. Yes, there are still some hiccups, but we will be correcting those issues. The ONLY way for Harmony Central to start to recover from some bad times, is for people to start to return and hang again. Why do I like HC over newer media (like Facebook, etc.)? When I come back, it is easy to pick up where the conversation left off, and even two years from now, the same will be true. I can see something on FB and run to get my wife to see it, and by the time I come back, I can't find it for the life of me! I think you guys will be pleased as the "old" team is back together again!

Members LARRY L Posted April 14, 2015 Members Share Posted April 14, 2015 So why is this this a good thing, am I missing something? Not to be critical. I do not know much about the previous owner but I never have been a fan of the big guy buying out the small guys. Perhaps it does not apply here?

Members Tell The Truth Posted April 15, 2015 Members Share Posted April 15, 2015 So Phil and Dendy will continue to provide protected status to their favorite racists and trolls, wile dropping the ban hammer on those who engage them in kind,.... all while attempting to promote the illusion of "neutrality"? Yeah...no, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Iamthesky Posted April 16, 2015 Members Share Posted April 16, 2015 So when does the actual changeover happen? I'm so positive about this that I might even switch off Adblock once Gibson is getting the benefit. Yeah, I'm that excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
