I Like the new look and the go to the top button....

Probably a few more things in there that I haven't seen yet....



Seems a bit slower navigating around though....

All in all.... yep./... I like it .

Good job PG folks

A lot of small changes that, combined, really modernize the look of the forum. But, it's not just the forum. Go to the support pages or sign into your sales account and you'll see the forum is actually one of the last spots to be updated.

My guess is they are getting prepared for the Christmas crush since many users only seem to visit the website when the (estimated) time for the new release draws near.

One issue I've noticed already is if you quote a large amount of text on a post, the Submit button is scrolled off the bottom of the browser window. Hitting F11 to remove the top bar doesn't seem to help. I replicated in Edge, Firefox, and Chrome.

Steve,

You might want to drop Callie, Andrew, Kent or one of the other PG Music folks a note to let someone at PG Music aware. They might not see your post.

I notice that if I use the Quote button to reply to a post and then click in the edit window, it hides the vertical scroll bar. I'm not sure if that is a new thing but it's strange that it would do that, will fix.

Andrew and all at PG Music,

The new look forums are very easy on the eyes. I like them!

Lots of posts talking about changes to the forum. All I see is the addition of a sticky menu bar at the top. What am I missing?

Same here, John. I haven't noticed anything else than that.

Edit: Oh, I just found the "go to the top" thing.

It looks great!

I think an indicator for threads that we have responded to would be a great addition.

The preview popup is also broken. If you hover over the link to a post it used to popup a window with the text of the start of the post. Now it pops up raw HTML. So something's not quite right there.

Andy,
I just noticed that a couple minutes ago and passed it on to PGMusic via chat.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. smile

Thanks for fixing the quote issue Andrew!

Another feature I'm liking is that it is marking a thread read when I hit the back button after I read it.

Before I would have to refresh the page of the forum I was in to see what I read.

Looks good and works better. Working better is more important to me, the looks are a bonus.

Confirmed.
I had to use CTRL + F5 to reload it, but it did end up looking right.
Thanks.
/I see enough code at work ..

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."
