Hey Jeff--help me out here. I suddenly have to log in each time I visit here, in spite of checking off "keep me logged in". This never used to happen--from my office computer I could always be logged in already. Did I change something inadvertently? phil p

It may be net congestion or perhaps my macbook pro, but this week I'm experiencing a lot of lag time and pinwheels when browsing this site, it seems since the chat was initiated. For a couple of days, I was also perplexed by a random"donk" sound eminating from my mac, until I realized it was jwsound chat announcing a visitor or whatever. verrando

Hey Jeff, just wanted to let you know: In the last couple days when clicking on a link to the site from a google search, I have been re-directed to some weird "URL4Short.INFO" page with a pop-up thing that says I'm the "millionth visitor" or something like that and "click here" bla bla. Of course I didn't, but makes me wonder if JWS has been hacked?

Mr. Wexler, A discussion on uninterested third parties leaving comments on posts for sale might be warranted. Other sites do have rules regarding this. http://www.dvxuser.c...-Before-Posting A comment such as "That's a bit pricey" or "such technology is dated" does have the effect of handicapping, or killing a sale thread. These comments I suspect, come innocently intended, from seasoned union pros regarding pieces of kit intended for novices. While knowlege is always helpful and appreciated, the question is: Who is entitled to kill a sale on JWSound? Scott

OK, welcome to the new home of this discussion... Although Oleg is in a different country, I suspect some clarification might be in order: Oleg has pretty much the right to say what ever he wants. Note: I say 'pretty much' because there are some reasonable limits on free speech, such as screaming "FIRE" in a crowded place, or libeling folks... The thing is, that that first amendment right does not necessarily exist on JW's forum. Working in radio on "talk stations", folks would also keep claiming their "free speech" rights, but the fact is that on my radio station, I am the only one with complete "freedom of speech" (subject to those reasonable limitations), and if …

Every couple of times I try to click on google link for jwsound when I am not on my computer that has it saved as a favorite I get redirected to an ininityads page - this has happened from more that one PC so pretty sure it is not me- just an FYI that maybe something is hacked/semi-hacked with the site.

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful collection of interesting topics and group discussions on so many different topics, I enjoy reading and learning about so many different things each time I visit the site. I agree with ,and admire,your extremely "open door" policy of welcoming all who would like to join the conversation, but would it be possible to allow us the option of an ignore button for individual posters? I find a very select few posters deter from the threads on a regular basis and I would like to not see these posts. I have seen and used this option in other groups but I am not sure if it is an option here. Thanks again! Ch…

Hi Jeff, I was just wondering if you could point me in the right direction regarding personal video monitor rigs for boom ops... I just ran into a recent contribution of yours on one of the other forums after a key word search on the subject. I figured if anyone would know... you or maybe Scott Farr... Thanks : ) -- Tom Taylor tom@taylormadeaudio.com

HI Jeff, Saw that you did some upgrades to the board the other day. What happened to enclosed quotes from other messages? The new style, in my opinion makes messages harder to read because I have to try and figure out where the quote ends and the new comment begins. Thanks!

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for this site, I'm on here every day and am constantly learning new things. I've noticed that two forums (WTB/WTS and Who I Am Today) are only accessible to users who are signed in, and was wondering if you would consider adding a similar forum for discussing rates and negotiating. It would be great to have a way discuss the topic on here in a slightly more private way.

After having surveyed the site for a few days I must admit I like the old style better. This lack of color, the gray look, is kind of boring. I know it's the content that's important but the old appearance was way more welcoming...warmer. IMO Mick

Hi, I´m not sure if this has been mentioned but has someone found a way to post on jws with an ipad? No matter what I try jws won´t allow me to click and type in the text window. The subject field works fine but I can not activate typing mode when I click into the message body field. I´ve also tried to type a message via my regular mac which works fine but when I try the modify that message with my ipad I can´t get into the message body box. BTW: This works just fine on forums based on other software (vbulletin, phpbb etc.). Must be a combined ipad/jws bug. Thanks!

On a whim, I tried loading up the secure HTTPS version of this site (https://jwsoundgroup.net versus http://jwsoundgroup.net). Before, I usually got an error message since the site doesn’t have HTTPS enabled, but what I get today is something totally unexpected… Tried it in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, with my browser extensions enabled, with my browser extensions disabled, and on my phone using mobile data. Same thing. Is it happening for anyone else? https://jwsoundgroup.net

Not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but lately when I peruse JWSound via Tapatalk, I am constantly redirected to the App Store, trying to get me to download some shitty game. It literally happens every minute. Super annoying! Is it a Tapatalk thing? A JWSound thing? An iPhone thing? Anyone know how to stop it from happening? Cheers, Jason

I've been thinking of this issue for awhile but was spurred to write by a recent series of posts on the topic of a good rental source in London. Faced with a last-minute booking, Nicholas (nhaudio) asked for recommendations of places to rent gear in London. Mike MIchaels immediately posted this response: very recently discussed... try some searching... Probably true but not very helpful to someone seeking help in a time-sensitive situation. Many posts seem to run to a pattern where similar issues will come up again and again but the person making the inquiry isn't skilled at finding the threads and simply asks the question anew. I think the site migh…

For the past week or so, I am unable to obtain any listings under the View New Content tab. It always tells me "No New Content" I have logged off and on again, and tried playing with the settings, but nothing changes. Same happens on my tablet. It seems to be ok on Tapatalk for android, however I use my deskotp 99% of the time. I really miss this feature. It is working ok on other Forums that I visit. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Phil
