Maybe that means something different to the web guy. I thought by checking that box In wouldn't have to sign every time I return to the forum in the same day. Hell how about just remember me for an hour? Or is that box there just to make me feel important? The screen I am writting on in Explorer seems plenty big. Is there some reason why the text can't wrap to the page size I'm using? It's anoying to have it just continue off the page then find it's way back again. Kinda like when windoz XP boots and the mouse appears on the desk top and says "lets get to work...no no wait.... no wait.... not yet ok ok ok here we... wait ok NOW." Amature.

The "Remember Me" setting is working in my testing. Your browser might have cookies disabled.

I'm not sure what you mean. What is your screen resolution set to, and what browser are you using?

Andrew,

Since the refurbising of the forum I too have to sing on each visit, even if I check the remember me box. Not sure what is wrong.

Hello Danny,

Thanks. Which browser are you using? Can you test it in another browser and see if it works?

Works fine in firefox Linux and firefox on Win 7. No complaints about the forum size, nor remembering me. In fact I have only logged in about twice in a couple of years. New O/S both times.

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.

Not sure as I do not have Firefox installed just IE8, but that is all I have been using long before the site revamp and the "remember me" feature worked then.

Hi Danny,

When I enter the forums, I come through the homepage of PG Music (www.pgmusic.com).

I click on "Forums" and then get taken to the "View All Forums" page. At this stage, the heading of the page contains "Login" in large characters (indicating that I have not been logged in). I never click on that. I simply click on one of the forum (e.g. Off Topic) and I'm automatically logged in as I enter that forum.

Also, I never click "Logout" when closing the forums down. I simply close my web browser.

Hope this helps,
Noel

Noel,

If you don't logout, are you being remembered when you "return" or, did you ever "leave"?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Danny,

As long as I never "Logout", I am remembered. If I do inadvertently click on Logout then I am not remembered and need to sign in again next time I come to the forums.

Regards,
Noel

Noel,

That is my point . . . used to be able to sign in, click remember me and then log out, and the next time I signed in all I had to do was start typing the first letter of my login name and the blanks would fill in the remainder of my login name and my password automaticaly. That is what I call remembering me.

Thanks my friend,

I am remembered every time. Even when I have to reboot. I never log out in any case as there ain't nobody here but us chickens...

That is not what "remember me" is. What YOU are talking about are functions that your web browser does, not what the forum software does. They are described a little differently in each web browser, but there are two features of interest:

(1) Remembering text entered into forms (that is forms, not forums)
(2) Remembering passwords entered into forms

When the forum changed, the url of the login form changed, and so the data would have needed to be re-saved by your browser. But perhaps you had since disabled the option in your browser to save passwords.

The settings of interest in Internet Explorer are in Tools | Options | Content. In the Auto-complete section, click the Settings button. Make sure that Forms and passwords are both checked. In the testing I just did, even though I had passwords checked, IE wasn't remembering them. But I checked "Ask me each time", then logged in, and THEN it remembered my password.

Perhaps my IE security level doesn't allow passwords to be saved unless the "Ask me" setting is enabled.

If that doesn't work for you, you could try deleting your auto-complete history (if you're willing to do that).

I believe that "Remember Me" is working correctly though, which is that if you don't log out, the next time you visit the site you don't need to log in. But if anyone finds otherwise, let us know - maybe there is something else happening.

Well that lasted for about a week or two. It's been back to login every time I visit for the last two weeks or more.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
