Problems posting on the Video Forum?
Paul Schwartz replied to Ptarmigan's topic in General Concertina Discussion
Yes, the limit is quite small (total 20 MB, max per submission 4 MB), so it's always best to post links to your images and videos which are hosted on sites designed for this... YouTube and Flickr for example. -
Actually, it's working fine for me on Safari when I'm signed in. When I tried it on Chrome, NOT signed in, it brought me to the first comment. But then I signed in and tried again and it worked as expected, bringing me to the last comment. Paul

Hmmm, strange. I'll report it... hopefully it'll get fixed in a revision (they release monthly revisions). Paul

Those should be turned off now. I'll look into it. And no, we are definitely NOT selling personal info... targeted ads are common via cookies, that's all. So ads follow you around, nothing more than that.

Noel Hill Irish Concertina School
Paul Schwartz replied to Paul Schwartz's topic in Teaching and Learning
Sorry about that! I was told that the West coast school was sold out. I've edited the post. Paul -
The USA Noel Hill Irish Concertina school is coming up and there are still a few slots available for both the East Coast and West Coast schools. For dates and contact info visit Noel's site: http://www.noelhill.com/irish-concertina-school/ I took up the concertina because of Noel, and I learned to play the anglo concertina from him, in his style, at these courses years ago. Well worth it if you want a fun and useful week of dedicated study!

New Direct/Private Message/Email Scams Alert!
Paul Schwartz replied to Paul Schwartz's topic in Buy & Sell
No, of course it's still fine to use the DMs as usual, but just be careful if you receive a DM from a new user with no forums activity who happens to supply you with an email address of someone who has just what you are looking for. Be very, very careful, and check on the forums first by posting a reply in public before replying so due diligence can also be performed by other users. This issue was discussed in another thread... keep an eye out for bogus/re-used/inconsistent photos, inability to provide additional photos, things like that. -
If you post a message looking to buy something then receive a private/direct message telling you to contact someone by email that they have exactly what you are looking for, please do NOT reply and report the user to an admin immediately. This is a new type of scam going around. Thank you for your vigilance.

Definitely a scammer. He's been reported and banned. In cases like this, definitely let me know ASAP so we can take action...

Searching is hopeless!

It works perfectly fine for me now (on a desktop computer). Either the server was busy at the time, or it's something with your connection or device. Try again, or try from a different browser/device if you can. Or just use Google as suggested... Paul -
Hey Don, Yes, looking into it...
-
I guess it depends on what you're using to browse, but for me on desktop you just use the little carat I've circled in the attached.

Yes, the old tiny ads just weren't cutting it... trying out the upgraded ads system. You can collapse the band that shows at the top/bottom of the screen. Paul
-
Okay, should be fixed now! Thanks, Paul
-
I think I've figured out the problem... working on fixing it now. Thanks, Paul
-
I wonder if it's due to the ability of the site to play a sound to tell you that you have a notification. Try clicking on your name at the top right-->account settings-->notification settings (on the right)-->uncheck "Play a sound when I receive a notification" and click "save". Maybe this will work...

"Somebody reacted to a post"
Paul Schwartz replied to JimLucas's topic in Forum Questions, Suggestions, Help
Yes, I didn't even know it was off for normal members. Honestly, people need to remember that this is a commercial product... I don't know every nook and cranny of the software, I don't program it myself, and so before assuming that there is some nefarious plot behind some new feature or field or requirement, maybe just ask politely? Usually these things just show up in an update to the system (which yes, I do apply because they often include security patches/updates to keep the system safe from hackers/spammers/scammers... it's a constant battle!) and I can always look into adding/removing/modifying something if it makes sense (and if it's possible -- no guarantees!). Remember that this system is used by thousands of diverse communities all over the world... what doesn't really make sense for us might be an important requirement for some other community. -

I've turned this on for everyone now. If you think it should be turned back off for whatever reason, I can do so. Paul -
How do I get an old account deleted?
Paul Schwartz replied to Susanne's topic in Forum Questions, Suggestions, Help
I've taken care of it. I merged your old account with this new one. Cheers, Paul
