Trying To Edit A Tune-o-tron Entry

[bellowbelle]

I wanted to remove the link that I put in the comments section of my entry number 604, The Crows Know Me, since it's no longer a working link (moved my website).

 

So, I log in okay, but after I adjust it and hit Submit, I get a message telling me that I need to log in....it's kind of a vicious circle.

 

 

Is it no longer possible to change/delete that? That's the only thing I need to edit, I think.

Hi, Wendy.

 

I just tried it on the one tune I have entered (I replaced a single letter with the same letter and submitted it) and had no trouble:

Update Record Reply

Record updated.

New search

Some things to keep in mind:

 

Your ID and password for the Tune-o-Tron is the same as it was for the old forums, but may be different from what it is in the new forums.

 

Clicking the "remember my name & password" (if you're using your own computer) box may eliminate the need for constant logging on.

 

Here's the exact sequence of events:

 

I searched for the tune and opened its page.

I clicked "edit/delete."

I made the change and clicked "Update Record."

I was told to log in.

I logged in using the name and password from the old forums, checking the "remember" box.

On the "Welcome" page that came up next, I clicked the link to return to the previous page.

I got a message saying that since I was not the person who submitted the tune, I could not edit it.

***** [see below]

I went back to the main Tune-o-Tron page and searched again for the tune.

I clicked "edit/delete."

I made the change and clicked "Update Record."

I was rewarded with the message quoted above.

 

I would suggest you log in first and then start the process at the ***** above.

 

The page for the tune, Besser's New Concertina, now includes the phrase:

Thanks, Dave. I did manage to get logged in and did the editing successfully, after another few tries. I'm not sure it made the difference, but I searched for the tune by it's title and not by going through my personal Tunebook. (?)

 

Anyway...that's done!
