I think you’re right! I tried to do the same thing with ChatSonic and got, “Sorry, we cannot process your request. Please contact the support team.”

It is obvious that CHATGPT was programmed by politicians laugh


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

True that, but what is going on here? Is it trying to be helpful by automatically agreeing with everything it thinks I’m saying? Jeepers, Wally, people come to ChatGPT for information, good thing I’m not operating a nuclear reactor!

PS — The bot is feeling feisty today:

What forum software does PG Music use?

PG Music, Inc. uses vBulletin as its forum software.

I heard it uses UBB.threads

I'm sorry, you're incorrect. PG Music, Inc. uses vBulletin, not UBB.threads, as its forum software.

Except the answer it settled on is the wrong one.

Now I’m seeing those robot arms flapping up and down.

Will Robinson asks: "ChatGPT, is it safe to discuss Bulletin Boards?"

I don't know if we could call this a rule, but a have noticed people are more receptive to graphics that do not take up the whole screen. 900 is borderline.
550 to 600 wide seems a good compromise, landscape format. In today's internet, the tendency is to either mix text, add bold titles, or collage jpgs. People fly through the internet. Naturally, the exceptions prove the rule. If you screenshot a Band-in-a-Box interface, the bigger the better for the sake of ease of reading smaller fonts. Many people take MS Paint for granted. You can easily resize, make montages, and add any style or color of text, along with draw and paint options.
Yeah, I've messed around with it a little: https://www.webdirectory21.com/color/butterfly/index.htm

Ed, another way to enlarge a picture in BiaB is to hold the control key down and use the mouse wheel to either increase or decrease the screen.

On my browser though it's quite likely a webserver behaviour, images above a certain size get shrunk to fit the forum page and I have to open the image in a new tab to get the full-sized version. Whether or not I do that depends on several things.

Test attached JPEG image with large dimensions (3720x2052) but small file size (135 KB),
displayed inline with resizing. This LINKYLINK opens a full-size display.

The link cannot open a full size version on my 1920X1080 monitor, but it looks like it worked fine for you.

With tablets and smart phones came the field of "responsive web design," meaning, the field adjusts itself to screen size, browser, or resolution. There are plenty of templates available, so the designer really doesn't have to learn how it works, but it does.

I wouldn't hire a designer that doesn't understand responsive design, Bootstrap at least
They need to be able to visualize what will happen to their design.

Are there many BiaB users who work from smart phones? Seem that it would be possible.

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."
