[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1321203548' post='1436384'] On the one other board that I post on that has a "like" system, it has worked very well, in that anyone with a negative score can be dismissed as a know-nothing troll, and they generally either sort out their act and behave nicely or stop posting altogether. However it does rely on the fact that a person's "like" score is displayed under their avatar so everyone can easily see it. Of course just because it works well somewhere else doesn't mean that it will work here... [/quote] Reputation points are shown on people's profiles. It is hoped that this will rein in some of the confrontational and obnoxious posters who get personal in Off Topic - rather than get rid of Off Topic all together - which has been considered many many times.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1321200535' post='1436346'] I've seen systems like this before and all they serve to do is reinforce cliques. The site that springs to mind has recently moved to a "like only" type setup. People on there used to have competitions to see how -ve they could make someone, for fun. [/quote] I'm aware of the pack mentality, which is why the system can be openly monitored by mods & admins in case anyone is tempted to do that here.

As many will have noticed with this new forum we have had a 'like' system where we can , .......errr, 'like' another person's post/comment/witty remark/helpful advice etc. In order that we have a more balanced reputation system, I've pulled the giant lever on the server so we can now 'dislike' another's post if they are rude/insulting/stupid etc Moderators and admins have the ability to monitor the system if necessary.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1321183859' post='1436112'] Just checked my 'fretless' search again (for sale forum) and discovered some recent updates (under a month old) as late as page 21 (out of 31) mixed in with updates from 2009/2010 on the same page. That sounds like it's consistent with Sphinx indexes being out-of-date with the main database, possibly related to the cron settings we were looking at yesterday. Any chance of giving Ben a prod ? Andy [/quote] I know Ben is busy, but it's a simple job that I can do - but I will ask his permission first in case I make 'magic smoke' lolz

You must state the selling price - thanks -
I have one too!

I think this is an issue with the 'frames' function in the website html. Until we can fix it, try a 'right click' on the link and open the link in a new window/tab.

It's proving to be a little tricky mounting the new search engine on top of the old database - but we continue to fiddle / tinker / hit the server with a hammer..........

[quote name='algmusic' timestamp='1320925963' post='1433182'] Would you consider a trade? I have Fender Jazz Aeordyne, with semour Duncan Qtr on the J and Tru Bass string... (still have round strings and original pick up)? [/quote] Hi If it's sunburst/rosewood I might be interested - pictures? -
[quote name='gadget' timestamp='1320923900' post='1433123'] Does this have a case at all? Regards G! [/quote] Hi G If the price is right I can include a hard case.

It's in pretty good condition and has a newish set of Sunbeams on it. The preamp has been upgraded to an Audere 3ZB - [url="http://www.audereaudio.com/3ZB.htm"]http://www.audereaudio.com/3ZB.htm[/url] which is a very big improvemement. I did a little review of it here ( which also has a couple of pictures) - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/1723-audere-3zb-on-board-preamp/"]http://basschat.co.u...n-board-preamp/[/url] The Lakland is an excellent working tool for anyone who uses (or has a use for) a 5 stringer without breaking the bank. It's got a killer low B and the action on this one is really sweet - a pleasure to play. Cash wise, and with the Audere fitted I suppose I'm looking for £450, and I'll include the original Lakland preamp if you want it. If you uninstall the Audere it'll leave a small 2/3mm on the top where the battery condition LED is fitted. I don't use this anymore and have already replaced it on a '1 in, so 1 must go' basis. However, the eternal ache of GAS affects everyone! The only bass I would consider in exchange would be a Fender Jazz (with a proper thin Jazz neck) in sunburst with rosewood neck - with money to you or me if appropriate. As it's peeing down outside, here's a couple of pics I took when it was nicer weather!

Which version of IE are you using?

If it is only this site which you have problems with, it may be because you have information from this site stored on your PC which is either incorrect or corrupted? Apologies if this is egg-sucking time, but things that I have done to my PC include: Log off Basschat - clear all cookies, and clear [u]all[/u] your various caches (both browser and Windows 7) - [url="http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/clear-windows-7-cache/"]http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/clear-windows-7-cache/[/url] - Re-start your PC and log back into Basschat Also - make sure your whole system is running the latest versions of everything - [url="http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html"]http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html[/url] [url="http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp"]http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp[/url] [url="http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html"]http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html[/url] Make sure you don't have a browser hijacker/malware etc - [url="http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/"]http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/[/url] Hope something here may help?

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1319715854' post='1417591'] At home I use Chrome - no problems as described; At work I use IE 7 - no problems as described now (although the forum did not display properly until Ben ironed a few things out 2 weeks ago) On mobile I use Opera and Safari - both again no problems as described. It's very hard for me to fix something from my connections/browsers which all work fine for me If I could re-create the problem then I could try and trouble-shoot it. [/quote] [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1319747490' post='1418236'] Could it be a Win7 64bit thing? Haha where do you want me to start? (most of my issues have been mentioned throughout this thread) [/quote] I found IE8 on an old PC cover disc and installed it earlier this evening. For the last 2 hours I've gone through every page of this thread (and other threads) trying to re-create reported problems with my brand new install of IE8. I just can't 'cause' the faults you (and others) are reporting - everything works how I expect it to work. Sorry - I really wish I could help!

Looking at the software package, the software providers have changed the search engine and it hasn't 'knitted well' with the older version we've updated from. It's an acknowledged bug and I believe it's addressed in the latest bug patch release which we're in the process of obtaining/installing.
