The answer is yes, cool.
Love that song, one of Radioheads best

So is there a way to link up to YOUTUBE?

I just created a forum to help everyone to learn more about each other’s musical stories. Like what instruments you play, if you sing, what genres of music you play, etc. Just 7 questions — plus a bonus question — to getting to know each other a little better. Please come along and share a little about yourself. Just click this link to get…Read More

A shout out to everyone who recently joined LinkedMusicians! I just saw @release, @mustakatu, @ralfrobert, @deeringamps in my feed. I realize that there’s a lot here. The Early Adopters Group is where we discuss things about the site, share our thoughts, ask questions. It’s meant to be the main meeting place for everyone before the site…Read More

So there’s a bunch of design issues on the site since a theme update and I re-activated an important plugin to the site. Nothing giant, but definitely things that need to get fixed ASAP. But overall, I feel like things are going well with the site. Just checking in with everyone. What are your thoughts? Please share, positive, or negative, what…Read More

I’m not complaining (spoiler: I’m complaining), but I share office space with my wife and have to listen to the same 80s songs every day from a streamed local radio station. Right now it’s Madonna’s “Lucky Star.” I’m pretty sure this is the stuff the FBI uses to get kidnappers and cultists hold up in buildings to force them out. A person can on…Read More

How did the Coffee House Forum come about? I originally created a Coffee House Forum prior to launching the site, but I deleted it. I didn’t think the Coffee House needed a forum. But the one that exists is really messed up formatting-wise.
Do users have the ability to create forums? @bapu did you create it? I’m not complaining, I’m just wonde…Read More

I just updated the site’s theme and re-activated one of the most important plugins for the site in terms of look and feel as well as added functionality. But it also takes away some other functionality. I will probably be removing the ability to add photos, etc. as that would make my disk space swell, greatly increasing my space on the server (and…Read More

Just a reminder, if you find issues with the site, DO NOT REPORT IT HERE. I originally thought the EARLY ADOPTERS GROUP would be best for reporting that but have since realized that a subforum is a much better way for me and everyone else to keep track of any issues found with the site and keep track of my progress resolving those issues. It let’s…Read More

Just a reminder, if you find issues with the site, DO NOT REPORT IT HERE, this is supposed to be a place to chill. And I’m not chilling when you guys post stuff I have to fix here. 🙂 I originally thought the EARLY ADOPTERS GROUP would be best for that, but I’ve realized that a forum is the best fit for it, so I created a subforum and I made it…Read More

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

I am in Peter! Ty! and… Hi! wink wink

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

Go here https://linkedmusicians.com/members/bapu/profile/ then click on Edit.

@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
