Here’s something quirky and annoying about this system that I cannot fix. Usernames cannot be changed — even more surprising, you can’t even change the case of them; so I created some in lower case (like my own username, my name Peter, but peter, and since decied to stick with all lowercase, then, I was about to run out the door and setup Jude…Read More

Thanks. I want to give that a like — but the system doesn’t allow it. I’m checking into it. I have a big update to do either tonight or tomorrow. But I think I’m probably better off tomorrow in case something goes wrong, because I’m beat.
Ty Peter. All this interaction I guess is helping seeing those little things we would like to improve about the site. Neat.
Interesting. I changed my name to Doug without any problem. You had entered me as doug.

@bapu the post where you asked how to upload an image doesn’t permit me to reply due to an issue with that plugin. But I’ve since replaced that plugin with another one and it’s pretty straightforward. To upload an image from your computer just use the image button. To link to an image or video elsewhere, use the link button. Try it and let me…Read More

I’m trying a different media uploading plugin, as I believe the other one was causing issues with the edit and reply functions disappearing.

I just created a subforum for people to raise any technical issues with the site. I created the Early Adopter Group to be the place for people to post issues, but I think the Forums are a better place, as it lets everyone easily see what’s been reported and see the status rather than posting in a social media wall and especially when folks are…Read More

I created the Early Adopter Group for posts related to issues, but I’ve since thought I should create a subforum, so I’ll do that. Can we take it there. But to address the question, it appears that the edit function has disappeared. My guess is that it’s related to the media plugin I recently added. It’s strange because I was able to edit after…Read More

@bapu the ability to comment and edit appears to be restored in Groups — except for posts with media that were made previously with the plugin I de-activated and replaced. Let me know if it’s the same for you.
yup, I can edit now

MORNING UPDATE
We’re at 28 members, but one is my test account and one an account for one of the developers, so it’s really 26 members.
I don’t have a way of doing stickies at the moment because I lost an important plugin due to errors — and the theme developer told me that he’s releasing an update today, so hopefully, I can install that…Read More

New rule. To use this forum, I’m expecting registrants to at least register with their real first name, not a joke name or their registration will get bounced. I’m not going to allow it. I get that a lot of people are very concerned about their full name being used, that’s fine. But not even using your first name and talking in code about it.…Read More

If @cclarry and @superrabbit found that some of their posts were not going live, it was the moderation system (actually I’m not sure if it stopped them from going live or just made an alert). Anyhow, I’m just learning how it works and it’s flagging stuff way too easily. So I’m making adjustments. Just be aware if you ever have posts that don’t…Read More

Maybe most important is to make everything as uncluttered and easily ‘over viewable’ as possible.

Are you thinking of anything in particular?

Not really, no. Just thinking of the Cakies forum. Always thought that one looked incredibly easy on the eye.
Comparing to the other forum, I think the economy of data presentation is pretty similar (a good thing) except for two things I have noticed so far.
1) Here there is no apparent indicator that you have read a topic (is there?), whereas it is dimmed over there. Easy to scroll over the stuff you already read when you are taking more time later for…Read More

I agree especially with point 1. I also liked the system at the other place where if you clicked on the bullet to the left of the post, it brought you to the first unread reply. I don’t know if that is possible to do in this forum but it would sure make me dance with joy if that were possible.

The reality I face on the read topics functionality — because I did think about it early on when planning the site and looked — is that the only viable solution I know of is a plugin that costs $250 US a year to do this (the plugin has other capabilities). Every other plugin is 10 years or more old and that presents serious security and…Read More

No charge for the in-depth, more than you wanted to hear analysis. I’ll try to work on shorter posts!

Thank you Peter! And for your (Pete’s) sake. Go to bed! I am on the left coast, and I am logging off shortly. I think it is all working really well. I even switched over to dark mode and it is awesome too (I prefer light, but it is really nice to have the option). I even looked at the site on my phone yesterday and it was excellent. I only…Read More

Hey Brian, it just occurred to me. There is something about the left hand navigation panel that may not be clear to everyone: that when you click the arrow at the bottom of it, it narrows. I don’t love the way the developer executed it (it would be cool if it used say the fav icon for the logo, for example), and I definitely plan on giving him…Read More

Idea / Suggestion
We all have signatures over in the forum. You can use yours to share what instruments you play, if you sing or have audio engineering skills. You can also list what names you use or have used at other forums if you’re using a different one here so that people recognize you.

ISSUE TO REPORT (for me to follow up on; I’m just using this GROUP to keep track of issues)
While we can embed media like SoundCloud audio in the GROUPS section, I was unable to embed a SoundCloud file in the Forums.

This site has only started to get traffic — only 200 -300 unique visits a day and a lot of that comes from the NI subreddit from the post I made there about my list of free Kontakt libraries (BTW, we TEMPORARILY lost the ability to do anchor links — when you make your text into a hyperlink — when I removed a plugin that caused problems with the…Read More

Sometimes I just need to break away from Citizen Regen and do some collabs where I can contribute a bass track (or baking vocals that will just below the surface). Originals or covers are both cool.
Personal preference is where a cover is a ‘different” interpretation of the original.

That’s awesome.
I recently wrote a power pop rock song (okay, I wrote most of it and need to finish it) I think is pretty good. I hope to record it and share it here later this month offering anyone who wants to replace my guitar, bass, keyboards or vocals with theirs to do so. I figure that way, people can hear the song first and decide if it’s…Read More

Some quick minor feedback. The ‘Edit’ and ‘Share’ buttons appears to be vertically misaligned – I’d post a screenshot, but I either can’t or don’t know how to. After clicking ‘Edit’, the ‘Cancel’ and ‘Save’ buttons that replace it are also vertically misaligned. I’m using Edge on Desktop.

Yep. It’s the same on Chrome on Windows and Android and I knew this after I install it, it’s just that I couldn’t find an alternative plugin, so I accepted it. Unlike the forum app, there are a lot more developers making plugins for this. If I had several thousand dollars to invest in the site there is a good alternative. But I can’t afford t…Read More

No problem – I understand; just giving feedback like you asked 😊
I didn’t realise they were all separate plugins, but knowing this I understand why they might look a bit different.

Please know that when I’m explaining, I absolutely don’t want to discourage you or anyone from reporting things, I want you to. I just am sharing the realities of this site with you so that your expectations for what I can get fixed are realistic. Because, if I didn’t know any better, I would think a bunch of this stuff would be easy to fix. And…Read More

Here I am. It is me and no one else. Looking forward to being part of this new adventure and being in on the ground floor.
Looks like someone called Living Room Locker is trying to take over cclarry’s role at CW. The biggest issue I see is they are an unknown. We all know and love cclarry and it is that history that add so much value to his…Read More

That second part about coming home really resonates with me. I totally agree with you, Doug.

Hmmmm- I just checked in on CW and found a few locked threads of “Livingroom Rocker” Looks like he is running some scripts that get carried away. Oh well- I am enjoying the adventure here in our new digs. Still occasionally opening the wrong door when I am looking for the bathroom, but I will get the hang of it soon enough.

Ha! I visited the Cakewalk Forums (via Chrome Incognito) and saw those posts. They’re extremely robotic — like a bot. There’s no sign of a real person making those posts. I think it kills the readability of the forum. We have the one — the only — Deals GOAT, cclarry. In your face trust fund billionaire kid! You can’t buy cclarry or replace him…Read More

It actually wasn’t a bot though maybe it was a human using a script. pwalpwal called Living Room Rocker out on all the PluginBoutique posts he was doing and he responded like a human might. It was getting pretty toxic at one point. Looks like Wookie cleaned up the mess.

Ed, do you mean on this wall or the forum? There are two main applications, the forum and the social media walls. Which one is where you can no longer edit?

I was wondering when you sent me your username if it was a Star Wars reference– my family are big fans — your profile photo answers that question. Either that or maybe it’s time for a shave.;)

I finally got to spend a couple of hours with my wife and daughter tonight away from this site. They were watching “the Last Jedi” for the umpteenth time! So yep, big Star Wars fans at our house too.
