[b][/b]Hi all

Lately when I go to read a forum post I always get sent to the first post, and have to scroll through.
No mater if I click on the left column or the date of the last post in the right column.
In the past I have always gone to the last post unread by me.
Cant find a way to change this in preferences.
Help, am I going mad!
Mike

Once you've read all the posts in a thread and then open that thread again, it will take you to the first post. Could that be what's happening?

Trevor -

What used to happen is if there is a new post on a thread, as long as I'm logged in to my account, if I click on the title from the Index page, it took me to the location on the page of the most recent post I had not previously read. What is happening now when there is a new post in a thread is that it takes me to the first post on the page where the new post appears (at the top of the page). So, if there is a 3 page thread, but the most recent post I had read was on page two, it takes me to the top of page two, and I have to scroll down to find where I was previously.

Yes, if I have already previously read all the posts in a thread, it takes me to the top of page 1.

So my sense is that it knows where I am in the thread, but no longer takes me directly to the new material. I have not yet had a chance to do an exhaustive test on whether this is related to device (home laptop, home desktop. work laptop, phone, etc) married to any of the different browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome, Edge). If I have some time, I'll try to do that, but clearly folks are posting similar problems on the forum.

Thanks John, interesting.

It's not doing it here on Firefox (but I don't know if it's browser related).

However I have noticed one small change. Usually when a new post opened, the very top of the post was cut off (it was scrolled past that point) and I had to scroll up one or two lines to see the top of the post. It's no longer doing that, so yes, something has changed.

I wonder if Andrew the resident PG Music Forum setup guru could advise?

Nope. I just changed back to Chrome recently and it won't jump to unread post.

If I load Microsoft Edge, it works properly.

It may be this weekend before I get to it, but I'll try to test it out (multiple machines/multiple browsers). Only real problem is that I keep up pretty well on the forum, that I may run out of new posts to test with. Maybe I can use the User Showcase for my test case, since that area is pretty active. Or maybe it will be fixed by then.

And just now on this machine, when I clicked "Submit" for my post, it used to take me to the post I just submitted; instead, it took me to the top of the thread. But this is my work machine, so there may be some lock down settings that affect it (cookies, perhaps).

It's doing it in Chrome as well and scrolling is especially difficult for me as a paralyzed user. I hope they address this issue soon.

On safari in iOS, an irritating ‘preview’ box pops up that makes it difficult to navigate the thread. I don’t know if the other issue described here also occurs. The ‘preview’ is in single quotes because it only shows a small portion of the preview and often obscures the thread page navigation. Definitely not optimized for mobile use on iOS.

Hi Rock star
The preview pop up can be switched off under my stuff preferences.
This still works.

Hi Mike
I reported it to the developers, so hopefully they'll find something and get it sorted.

Many thanks. I certainly don’t remember switching that on!

These issues (scrolling) should be fixed on all browsers now

Another problem has cropped up for me. When I hit the back button on the browser when I'm in a message, instead of going to that forum, it now goes all the way back out to the main forum list. Microsoft Edge....

Maybe when Edge becomes Chrome based (very soon) it'll have more of the expected behaviors.

That's probably the next time I'll open IE/Edge voluntarily. smile

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!

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."

Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!

The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!
