feature requests and bug reports

[Rick]

if you have a feature request or if you think you have found a bug.

please add it to this thread and i'll look into it.

note:- i can't guarantee to add all requested features.

[ini]

Yeah dude, what about the shoutbox?

and this function to see who's in the jam room on top of the page would be fine, too

/and some users seem to have problems with logging in, getting logged out at random etc.

[Rick]

getting logged out, thats with the chatroom right?

[ini]

no, it's in the forum.

A friend of mine who joined here told me that he gets logged out while he is logged in, at random.

Dunno why.
the Account's name is "LoneLobo"

[Rick]

k, i think i have an idea what it is!

[Rick]

still editing code........

it may take time!

[Stew]

doing great job Rick

I seem to have lost moderator status in latest update...I know you are busy so I won't bother you on MSN just now.

Stew

[Rick]

should be fixed !

[ZappaFan]

Seems the "finally i can get on with playing my guitar!!!" facility isn't working yet.

[Mark Rider]

The section to add a 'bio' to members is very short.... Perhaps this could be made longer to advantage the site?

[Rick]

I shall look into it.
should be ok to do.

[bigdoug]

Rick, I saw in the forum a while ago that you were thinking of doing T shirts. If that has come to nothing get in touch as my bro does shirts for clubs and pubs etc (screen prints or embroidered) and can get you good quality shirts for much cheapness, I would make him give you the family discount. Obviously I dont want to step on anyone in here if you have something fixed up, but I think it would be a good fund raiser for the site. cheers and well done this site is great.

[Mr Smith]

[jamroom]: pteknique has left at 9:00
pm

I have been getting this message all day, different names, differnt times, but i see a name that is said to be in chat, and I go in chat and they leave RIGHT then, and when I leave, my name stays in there no matter how many times I refresh.

I assume this hasnt been discussed, but surely there is a way to fix that lol coz frankly it drives me bonkers hahaha

other than this man, I have no complaints, this is the best site ive seen since guitarbattle.com lol

[petruccis_shadow]

how bout a weekly lesson in the jam room?alot of you guys really know your stuff how bout shareing in a classroom like setting?

in my experience, tis better to have the people just freestyle this, those types of groups or pages hardly get used after a time, then on the other hand, this site tends to break some of the molds ive seen out there, kudos, and maybe it will hitch up good.

I know id like some lessons lol

The issue with users showing up in the jamroom afetr they have left seems to be a bug in the integration between Flachchat and the BB. If you log out of the jamroom by pressing the red button in the top right corner of the jamroom window it works okay, try it and let me know.

[Rick]

technically it's user error, though some may say it's a flashchat 'issue' - it happens because you are not actually logging out of flashchat, but just closing the browser. Always log out using the red (top right) logout button. If you just close the browser then flashchat will try and run a pop-up to log you out - but browsers other than IE (such as firefox) block this.

copied from the thread by the coder, i'm now sure anything was ever done to repair this issue as we are running the latest version

[Rick]

technically it's user error,

i love that quote!
anyway rule of thumb allow popups on 6stringheaven and it should fix it at least for those who do that.

I'll edit the login message to tell people to log out before they close the browser.

maybe one day they will fix it.

[Steve Zane]

I've notice that there is no more interest in the vbuk bank :( It still saying the date for the next interest but no interest...hrrrrr.

[ZappaFan]

hrrrrr ??? is that a cross between grrrr and hmmm ?

Personally I think we should reset the vbux back to it's starting values, and begin to use it a bit more on the site, any suggestions ?

[ini]

me disapproves! (about the reset thing)

use it more on the site is cool though.. :P

[Steve Zane]

Yeah me too.

[Rick]

i moved the interest to monthly and made it 3%
it was 0.005 % before

[ZappaFan]

Once again we see capitalism in action ...... they are only vbux you know guys, it's not they are really worth anthing at the moment, until we actually use them, for say, buying backing tracks etc. then they are pretty worthless

Ya just can't let me be rich in my fantasy :cry:

[petruccis_shadow]

i dont understand it at all, a tutorial would be good, I seem to have won the lotto or something, but it doesnt tell me where it came from, i did buy a lotto ticket, and now i have over 10k, but until i figure out what im doing, i wont be doing much lol

Next Bank Interest: 04-11-2006, 03:32 PM thats interesting, seeing as it is 18-8-2006, lol

[petruccis_shadow]

I wish there were a more definitive guide for the vBux and how they work, like for instance, if you have more rep points or post amounts, does your interest go up? what are the most advantages you can have to increase your intake of interest and vBux, what do rep points do if not that?ive looked online to find info but its always someone elses forum, and they have them set up differently.

[ZappaFan]

We dont utilise the vbux system to it's full potential right now but it will be something we will look at in the future.

The basic system as it works right now has the following features as far as I can tell :-

gives points per character within a post
gives points per new thread.
allows you to buy gifts and ribbons.
pays each user a salary based on a predetermined percentage provided that they have been active within the last seven days.
pays interest on the amount you currently have banked ( as far as i know this is not effected by rep points or number of posts)
allows you to buy tickets for both the daily and weekly lotteries
allows you to buy options to customise your "image" on the forum, ie., username colour, shadow, etc
allows you to charge for the download of any attachments you post

thats about it as far as i know

[petruccis_shadow]

charge for attachments lol

[ZappaFan]

charge for attachments lol

Indeed, it's a way of stopping people joining up and leeching files off the site.

[petruccis_shadow]

I dont know how to set that up, I am assuming each user does this with thier own files?

[kaz]

when you add an attachment you can add a charge to download it.
it makes me laugh to be honest, vbux are worthless, they are given for free if you ask we'll even donate tons of em but people fight to keep them like they are real cash :-D
i uploaded a ringtone for 5 vbux and somebody attached it later on in the thread for free, i had to laugh. then i banned his ass :mrgreen:

this is rick again btw not kaz.

[bigdoug]

RIck.. are you a virtual tranny?

[petruccis_shadow]

hahaha omg lol

[petruccis_shadow]

ive never seen any option to do that lol

[zeusse]

Here it is my useless insight to vbux and some uses that will make it a worthwhile thing

1. charge vbux to enter your song in a challenge and then the winner gets to keep the vbux from entry fees
2. charge vbux to download from a backing track section and charge a hefty amount that will keep out the non participating members and make them get with the program
3. pay members more for posts and thread starts
4. pay vbux for referals that post a minimum 100 posts and increment that if desired
5. charge Zombo a daily fee just because..LOL
6. penalty vbux fee for lame LOL,IMAO etc.... darn that could cost me..LOL
7. vbux paid for best thread of the month and have that voted
8. vbux penalty fee for not posting...upon some members return they might regret it though

Just some ideas....and I never said they were good:grin:

............I'll get my coat then..........:cry:

............I'll get my coat then..........:cry:

why if you were getting more vbux for posts you would have made more money right now....you'r not going anywhere I wont let you:mrgreen:

[Rick]

i've just found a pretty big bug!
private message attachments no longer works, i'll have to remove and re apply the code.

if you use it the other person won't have permission to download the file..

[ZappaFan]

It worked okay yesterday

[sambora#1]

When i try to access the learning thread it keeps asking me to log in even when i already am which means it doesnt bring up the full list of posts that are on there.

[Rick]

if you click bottom left of the thread it'll change the cut off date

[Stew]

I still cannot upload attachments and just tried to upload a picture to Zoints and got the same "internet explorer cannot display this webpage" message

[ZappaFan]

I still cannot upload attachments and just tried to upload a picture to Zoints and got the same "internet explorer cannot display this webpage" message

I'll test it and get back to you shortly

[kaz]

daft as it sounds stew, i had this problem to and the fix for me was to maximise the upload window !!!!CRAZY!!!! yes....

[ZappaFan]

Seemed to work fine for me, see above

[kaz]

its seems really hit and miss zapp.
its been as issue for a while and for no good reason.

i remember tony4552 couldn't ever upload onto vbulletin forums so it must be a setting or something somewhere.

[ZappaFan]

I could understand it being hit and miss last week when the folder permissions were wrong, but I just checked them and they are all okay still, so it should be okay

[Stew]

well in the Zoints thingy the page is already maximised so is it a max size of file that is the problem ro is it my internet explorer possibly?

[Stew]

just tried to upload and mp3 to this thread relatively small file didn't work then tried a small gif file and it went ok...so I'm still stumped. Hacking me off cos i want to do some recording and want to upload myself don't want to keep asking others to do it for me.

[Rick]

i'll post a question on the vbulletin forum stew,
put your setup on here,
IE version etc

[Scali]

I noticed you have subforums for sharing patches for multifx.
Could you add one for Zoom devices?
They're not very popular, but I'm willing to post the patches for my G9.2tt.
There may be some other users of G7.1ut and G9.2tt units who may wish to share theirs aswell.

we could probably make an "all others" section.

all you need to do is supply me or zappafan with the file extension.

[Scali]

Okay... The extension is ".xex"
It's just an XML-style file.
Another way to export is via the clipboard. In that case it's enough to just post it as text directly onto the forum. Another user can then just select it, copy it, and paste it back into the patch editor.

[ZappaFan]

HI Scali, how big are these .xex files ? I'll create an area for them once I know.

[Scali]

It can vary a bit... a complete patch set (100 patches) is about 680 kb.
But you can create your own patch-sets to export, so they can be as small as 1 patch.
So I suppose they'll usually be much smaller...
On the other hand, since it's XML, it compresses well... When zipped, it's only 26 kb.

[ZappaFan]

Okay I'll sort it straight away.

I have added the xex extension and created a new section called other pedals. Please make sure that you indicate what pedals your uploads are for so that it is clear to the other members.

Cheers.

[Rick]

blue reported a fault to me about not being able to use smilies,
