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

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.

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.

Where’s that at? I’m sure there’s going to be lots. I need at editor!!

It seems that after some time I cannot edit my OP, the EDIT link/button disappears.

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?

You’re very welcome! Thanks for being here.

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.;)
nice, yep we’re also a family of BIG time SW nerds. ironically enough, I am bald so no need lol

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. Although, I’m not very knowledgeable on movies. I’m a music guy, as is the case for everyone else here. Lyrics from old rock tunes, that’s probably…Read More

Great to have you! I was thinking that maybe we could use our signatures to tell people our usernames at other forums.

There’s something that I’d never guess and likely can’t fix. I’m a marketing guy, so I have no idea why that is I know at least one person here is an IT peo, maybe he can explain that. But aside from that, it’s wonderful to have you here.

Im in!
Cheers guysPeter im checking this page on my iphone, and it seems to be a problem with the size of the LM logo on the upper right side, i dont know if someone brought this up already
If you want i can share a print screen with you.
Other than that looking really good👏🏻

Yep. That seems to have happened when I turned off a plugin that did a lot of different things at the site, but caused the messages to not work. I’m going to get a screenshot to the theme developer today.
Thanks for reporting that and kero your eyes open for anything else.
peter posted
So, I’d love to hear (okay read) some feedback and what your initial thoughts are of the forum — positive, negative, in between. What do you like, what do you not like, what are you not sure about?

Looking already really good, Peter.
Some corrections to be made to the ‘iPhone’ look, like having to look for the Post button, but not much. Most is fine.
One thing I would suggest is having more posts on a (Deals) page. Actually, the Cake forum is a very good example of that. Almost no clutter, while having a neat overview of all the threads.-
Also, would be good to see the number of (new) posts a thread has in the ‘overview’ forum pages.

how do i embed the video?

so for youtube vids to embed one has to use the the tracky “share” button link, not the web url ( which is copyable without tracking)

I want this GROUP to be the place where everyone in the EARLY ADOPTERS GROUP can share our thoughts on the site, positive and negative, feedback is really important, post any questions and report any issues you come across.

I previously had the ability to make sticky posts, but had to shelve it — at least temporarily — due to the fact that it stopped messages from working. That’s also the reason that the design of many parts of the site have changed. I turned off that functionality until it can be fixed.
peter posted
If you notice that some of the design went away, that’s because I just de-activated a plugin that was responsible for that formatting. I found that it caused the personal messaging to stop working and am contacting that developer to see if there’s a fix. Consequently, messaging now works.
There are some more people that I’m getting in. Some…Read More

Couple of observations.
1) I was messing with my profile and I guess I figured out how to add info fields. I made a date field but I can’t seem to delete it.
2) The email notification settings have slide buttons but it is not clear to me which position relates to “email or no-email”
1 Comment-
Thanks for the update. I caught a major problem with the messaging that I was able to resolve. But the site design will look a bit different as a result. It’s a plugin from a different developer than the one I’ve been working with, and I’ll be putting in a request to see if we can get it fixed. The plugin added a lot of functionality.

Indeed!

I just found a problem with the messaging and put in a request with the developer. When I went to create a message the screen turned white and never changed. Bug number one found and reported. I did test it prior to the developer activating a plugin that gave the site a bunch of enhancements, so I think I know the culprit and I may have to…Read More

Hi everyone. Great to see the forum come alive with @cclarry posting deals! So please, post, comment, try things out. Don’t worry about breaking anything and even if you post “test comment” somewhere to try things out, it’s perfectly fine. Just get familiar with the site. You’re among friends.

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
