Ichigbot doesn't OP me anymore.

You know how when you click someone's username a little side window pops up for shortcuts letting your PM or view profile?
It doesn't work for me anymore...

I've found that out too.

I've found that out too.

This has happened before... until Gand fixes it, just...

For Windows users: Right-click the user name, and click either "Open in New Window" or "Open in New Tab".

For MAC users: Same thing as Windows, only thing is you Ctrl-click it. :)

Ah I see, it works~ thank you :)

what's a thread? how did I get to this page to post?? :kfreaked: can someone explain this to me?? :huh:

Click "FAQ" at the top of the screen.

I did..but how do I get to this page?

Oh my goodness... back in a sec, I'll help.

Ok I'm back.

Long read, but worth it. Read it ALL.

ok thanks




ok...I read it all...but I want to know what button to press to get to this page to post after checking the profile or something else to change the window

Grr... this breaks every time we do an upgrade. I wish vbulletin would fix that. I removed the offending code and it works now.

It still doesn't work...

Which part?

:P Never mind. It works now.

How do you be a moderator/admin?

Donate, contribute to Ichigo's community and be elected to do so.

You do NOT have to donate... of course you do have to contribute to the forums in a MAJOR way to become a moderator - they're pretty much the most valued and respected people here. To be an Admin, well.. you need to be Spoony, Angelic or Gand XD

Well, that sorta works for Mods, too... we've got everyone we need!

How do you be a moderator/admin?

Definitely NOT by asking XD

I thought there was a "BBCode FAQ"?

~~

I need to know how to insert a link into an image... :unsure:

EDIT: Never mind. I figured out how to do it, but is there a "BBCode FAQ"?

In the little box at the very bottom of every thread page is "Posting Rules".

Click on the vB code.

Thanks :) .

I've got a problem with posting. Sometimes whenever I post in a thread, it gets deleted when I view the thread in a second time. Sometimes it doesn't happen, though. Can someone help me here?

Could be a browser cache problem, also, I think Gand set up something so posts with URL's get into a moderating queue, against spammers. Not sure about that last one though.

edit: that must have been it, you had every post that you had in the queue in there for at least three times each XD

Posts are moderated, I try to moderate the threads/posts as often as I can, but especially this week I'm behind because I'm really busy.

Edit: Never mind I fixed it.

Every thread I post in, I get subscribed to, except for general chat. Is it because General Chat is a sticky? Is there any way I can subscribe to General Chat?

When you click the "go advanced" to make a post, there should be a box where you can select to subscribe to the thread.

Yes, I automatically have it selected as "Don't send me an email" and then I switched the folder I to place it in to a folder I created called General Chat in my subscribing folders. It still has yet to subscribe for me.

There is no picture next to the infractions list anymore (in users profile). Then again, all I ever saw there was the white box witha cross in it instead of an image. Is that why it is gone?

As everyone knows, Potter the seventh is going to come out soon. Should I make a new thread to discuss the Spoilers in? Or Should we discuss with these things? Because that could get bothersome.

There's a harry potter thread. Post it in that. Put spoilers in spoiler tags.

can i ask about the Mus file here?It says free but it require me to login and register so am i downloading the free version or need to pay de version? LOL

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about, but from what I've gathered, you're downloading software that involves a .mus file and requires registering.. so I assume you're talking about Finale, or Finale Notepad, no?

Finale Notepad is free to download off the Finale website, and yes it does requires you to register. If you were downloading software that required payment, I would think that they would have prompted you to pay before you started downloading anyways.

The Helpdesk is for problems with the forum's workings in general. If you're having software or .mus problems, please ask in the Everday Chatter or the Music Discussion next time.

:)

ok thank you very much.

I think that the VIPs settings need to be changed to allow codes in the Signatures because right now I think all the VIP's are messed up...

Unless I am just not seeing it...I think the User Title field in the Edit Profile page has mysteriously vanished. I wonder if it only happened to VIPs like the signature thing?

EDIT PLEASE IGNORE (or remove please)

yeah, it is <_<

:spray:

This may just be my computer, but for some reason most of my subscribed threads don't update... I mean, they do, but I can't see the new posts. It shows that there are new posts and who did the deed and when, but when I go there I only see posts up to about two days ago.

One thread fixed on its own, and I could see over a page of new posts, one of which was my own. >_<

Hope that wasn't too confusing.

I think there is something wrong with the search feature on this forum. Every search I do says it's under defined with less than 3 words, but there is most definitely more words than that in the search.

EDIT: AND I realized I posted in the wrong thread. I fail. (_ _)

There. *Moved it for you*

I'll let Gand answer your question though.

seems to be working fine... what terms are you searching for?

seems to be working fine... what terms are you searching for?

Actually, I think there's an error. The search engine seems to be counting the number of letters per word, not the number of words. For example, if I type in "Tori No Uta", it will not accept it, because "No" is 2 letters, which is below the three-letter limit. It says "three words" as opposed to "three letters". So, there's an error on why the error comes up. :lol:

Yeah, something to that extent. If I were to try a search like "Fountain of Dreams" all I get in return is...


The search term you specified (of) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.

If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.

Ahh, I see. I've removed the minimum length. The server is powerful enough to handle any searches that are thrown it's way.

wow, you don't know how much you've made it easier for me to find a couple of my archived posts.


seriously, trying to search under my username coming up with minimum length error x_x

Hmmm, there seems to be a problem with uploading files on the forums now.

EDIT: Sorry, never mind. My bad. It just doesn't like the file I was trying to up for some reason.

The rules say that text in a sig has a 6 line maximum, or 3 line maximum with a pic. Under what screen resolution does that apply?

None in particular, just use your best judgment.

Many people break the text with pic rule anyway. Take M for example :neko:

But it is done discreetly, and with light humor from days passed.

Thanks! I'll use 1024x768, since that seems to be the standard right now.

How long does it usually take for a moderator to approve new threads?

Thanks

Varies depending on what forum it's in and when a Mod happens to be online. Usually no more than a couple days.

Varies depending on what forum it's in and when a Mod happens to be online. Usually no more than a couple days.

It's been over 48 hours already since he submitted his transcribing help thread that is yet to appear.

I didn't know moderators could approve threads. Cool, I'll check it out.

EDIT: Now it should be approved! :)

!? I can't find the logout button! I must be going blind! can someone tell me where the logout button is? (No, I don't want to clear my cookies everytime I want to log out).

The logout button is located on the top level of the forums (forums.ichigos.com) at the very bottom of the page.

When dealing with internet websites, cookies are what hold your login data (for current or multiple sessions), so we have to delete them if you want to log out of the system. When it says "clear all cookies" it means of this and only this website. No other cookies are touched.

What? *checks* So I have to go to the top level, scroll to the bottom, and find Logout that can be overlooked. Lol, most of the time it's located at the top and you can logout at any time without having to go to the top level. How inconvenient xD

Yeah, it is a bit goofy :)

You get used to it - or you join the club of those of us who just never log out except when we clear out our net files and cookies XD

question.... if i'm going to open one of this BBS(like Ichigo's Forums) do you know where should i go and apply one of this?

Google Invisionfree. Seems like a starting point you could handle.

Gand: I'm not sure if this is a tech question, but how come u never answer me whenever i try to speak to u in the chat room?

Gand is not very active in IRC. Heck, 90% of the time, the staff here are not active in IRC, but merely lurking in case something severe happens.

The best way to get in contact with Gand is Email or PM; then wait a week or so.

what do u mean, not active? his name is up on the screen. and what's irc? and whats the thing that has the precentage mark in the blue box in the chat room? sorry if i sound like an idiot, but im really confused. :heh: and how do u get ur own avatar? i dont like the ones that're here. and do u kno how i can transcribe? should i use finale notepad or something?

P.S. out of curiosity, do u know the person who owns the site and the other moderators personally? how'd u become moderators?

P.P.S. no offense, but that pic on ur public profile is kinda.....strange.

His name is visible because his computer is online to collect the scripts (what we say while in the chat room.)
IRC is Internet Relay Chat, so it is the chatroom.
The blue % is a status called halfop that allows some moderator powers.

Gand owns this site as explained on the wikipedia page.

To continue with HanTony's Answers:


...how do u get ur own avatar? i dont like the ones that're here.

You are free to take any avatar you want to the site. Find the image you like, then host it with a site like imageshack.us or photobucket.com , and then go to your profile. Inside the Avatar settings, there's the "URL" field that can be used with the "directly link" field from the image hosting sites.


and do u kno how i can transcribe? should i use finale notepad or something?

Finale is a good piece of software, but transcription is 90% on the person. If you're willing to try transcribing, I recommend you seek out your local music professional and get some help from them. That'll give you a jump start.


P.S. out of curiosity, do u know the person who owns the site and the other moderators personally?

I know that two of the admins know each other personally, but outside of that, no one has ever met anyone else in real life.


how'd u become moderators?

Don't ask. If you do, It's the first step to not becoming one.


P.P.S. no offense, but that pic on ur public profile is kinda.....strange.

Strange? I consider it quite cute :neko:

i accidentally put my thread for anime in with the games. :heh: should i move it or something?

Don't ask. If you do, It's the first step to not becoming one.

im just curious! im not interested in becoming one!

P.S. the first part was supposed to be quoted.

You can't move it yourself but a moderator will do so upon finding it. Also don't double post, just use the edit button.

Thx!:lol:

does anyone know what harmonic dissonance is and how it works?

Also don't double post, just use the edit button.

^ remember that?

And HD is just a standard RP (mass story writing). If you're interested, go through it and read the guides. Everything you need to know is posted there.

oh yeah. sorry. :heh: but where is the info for it? and what's an rp?

RP stands for Role Play. Basically, you write up and develop a character and interact that character with the other characters that members made up.

You Play a Role.

Check wikipedia for a more in-depth definition.

http://forums.ichigos.com/showthread.php?t=3448

And check that thread for how to make characters. There are numerous guides within the Central Library of Baasar as well, to explain the world of Harmonic Dissonance, etc.

This site has a wiki page? O.o

Edit: Found it... Cool :)

is there any way to log out?:huh:

From the main forum page. Look at the bottom right corner area.

r mods allowed to see peoples PMs to each other?

How the heck would we do that :blink:

If needed, we can.

scary.....x_x

How the heck would we do that :blink:

The right question here would be: "Why the heck would someone ask about that unless they have something to hide?"

Well we do have some certain members hiding in the sand :shifty:

The right question here would be: "Why the heck would someone ask about that unless they have something to hide?"

lol no, i asked before i posted something, that way i wouldnt have anything to hide.:lol:

What's the difference between a rp mod and a regular mod?

That's saying the same thing as what Angelic said o_O

RP Mods have power only in Harmonic Dissonance - we can do all the basic moderation in anything belonging to the RP. Other Mods/Admin have power everywhere - they can do it all (and more) in all the forums. Basically, the RP Mods run the RP ;)

do infractions get you banned? if they do, how many do you get before your're banned?

It depends on how severe the infraction. And that's to mod and admin discretion. Basically, use common sense. Don't go flaming (arguing with) people or anything. Really, it's a whole big learning curve. There haven't been a great number of people banned right off, but when it's happened, it's usually been something quite severe.

do the mods get rid of your account if you dont get on for a certian period of time?

Why do you keep asking such pinpoint questions? I feel like I need to investigate your account now.

If I hacked into Gand's account and banned every single member on the forum, would he get mad?

Just curious.

No one has posted this yet, but I can't print the sheet music from the PDF file! Help! I printed some a while ago, but now I can't print any! It's a blank page and when I do print preview, it's also blank! I have Adobe Reader 8.

Why do you keep asking such pinpoint questions? I feel like I need to investigate your account now.

knock yourself out. but could you answer the question?

Look near the bottom of the main forum page where it says "Forum Statistics".

It'll say how many members (about 31.5k right now) there are and how many are active (6.3k).

Ie: Your account will not disappear if you become inactive.

Thank you.

what program do you open the mus with?

Edit: do i get anything for getting someone to join Ichigos?:lol:

www.finalemusic.com

Please consolidate your questions into a single post rather than asking one thing each post.

1. what's the point of the buudy/ignore lists?
2. are members and new members defined by how much they post, or how long they have been a member?
3. can you get finale notepad without giving your actual email?(i registered before, but i forgot my password and username):heh:
4. is there a way to tell who's active and who isn't?
5. can you change your name and change it back, or change your name and then change it again?

Buddy, Ignore is for your own preference. The buddy part doesn't serve much purpose, but the ignore makes the ignored member's posts not appear in the forum.
That's a secret recipe that will not be released ;)
I don't think you can... But I'm sure there's a workaround I'm not aware of.
No, but if you hang around for a while, you'll get the hang of who is and who isn't.
Name Changes can be enacted once, and only with reason: see name change thread in this forum for more info.

hey, i kinda new( even tho it says join date -2007, i never used this account) so i dont realli know where the help/question section is. But i was wondering if i could rewrite time's scar from chrono cross so it could be used for an orchestra. I will be using the sheet music on the main site as my base.
so am i allowed to do that?

Hmm, I think you're free to edit the stuff to suit your playing needs; however, if you plan on posting or publishing your edited sheet music, then you'll need the original transcriber/arranger's consent.

Just out of curiosity, how is transcription accuracy checked?

Gosh, I haven't been on here in ages...
I was wondering if there was a way that the administrator(s) could delete my account? I accidentally made a new one which I'd like to keep instead of this one. (I did this since I forgot it was possible to retrieve information on a forgotten password and request a username change)
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.

You are to keep your old account, and you're new one will be deleted.

Why? Because:

1) Duplicate accounts are against the rules,
2) You're trying to start over rather than repair what you've already done,
3) You will keep your current reputation, as your name will not change to something new,
4) I said so.

Oookay Thanks for letting me know, my new account is called "Paint", I will post once with that account to prove it if you need me to do so. I don't mind keeping my reputation, I just didn't immediately remember how to access this account again and since it'd been 2 years or so and all I figured it didn't matter.

"3) You will keep your current reputation, as your name will not change to something new," <--- Does this mean I spoiled my chance to request changing my username? I really do have a problem with the title "Distant Dreamz" 'cause I used it and variations for a while on other sites and it tends to remind me of how during that period I of time I'd been quite reclusive and depressed--which is kinda a state I really don't want to get back to or be reminded of :\

I told you I'd post on this account, just for reassurance, so I guess here it is. :)

Is there any way the compositions forum could get a new moderator? It makes some things hard when there isn't one now that Noir7 has vanished.

Noir7 isn't the only moderator :\ The composition forum generally runs itself, and the music discussion is rather inactive, so I don't often peek in there; and Sondagger has one hell of a system for the request forum, so I don't typically mess with it.

Now, if you listed off your concerns and issues, along with detailed reasons, then we might be able to find a solution to the problem. Most likely it won't entail a new moderator, but maybe some organizational changes.

Well, if not a new moderator then at least check in more often! We always have to wait a long time to get anything stickied that we want to do (such as a contest), and there's no quality control for people who post threads in the wrong forum (i.e. a person who posts a request in the composition forum). I don't see what the problem would be with naming a new moderator that is involved since Noir7 was actually highly involved and was a participant in the forum which made a huge difference.

For sticking, you need only PM an active mod with the thread in question. PorscheGTIII has done this with me for a while, and I usually get it within 4 hours.

I guess I can take a more dedicated approach to the composition forum. I didn't want to step on Noir7's toes as that was his domain from what seems like the get-go, but, like you said, he's vanished so I'll start clunking away at it.

PREPARE YOURSELF

Alright, but just know that part of Noir7's job was cracking down on big-headed composers with egos the size of Jupiter and deflating them, while also giving constructive criticism. Thanks for looking into it.

Don't worry, I'm good at breaking people from the inside out. I just hope my rusty musical expertise is enough.

hey i was just wondering...how do you download a midi? cuz i wanna download the midi for eternal snow from full moon...and ichigos is the only place that has strictly piano instrumental version of it...

You can simply click on the midi link. This will do one of two things: One, it'll open a "save as" window and allow you to save it, or Two, it'll start playing automatically in your default media player.

If the second of those two happen, right click the "midi" link and then select "save target as..." or "save link as...", which will open a save window and you can save it wherever you want it.

thats the problem...i have a mac...so the link opens up as a site....ie. http://ichigos.com/res/getfile.php?id=694&type=midi... so then i tried to save the file but it would say i needed quicktime movie or quicktime 7 pro...so i was wondering i i could still save it without having to find those applications...cuz apparently i have to buy them..

ive tried that actually...well technically the problem is that i have a mac...so its kinda diff..the midi file is played on a separate site..its not downlaoded and then played...and then i tried saving the file itself...but it says i need quicktime 7 pro...so i was wondering if there was a way to download it without having to buy that application...

I can't find General Chat anymore... I'm back after vanishing. What happened to it? D=

Nevermind, found out.

That's because Quicktime's a bitch. It also happens on Windows if you have Quicktime installed, it'll install a browser plugin and play midi files for you instead of downloading them. You need to tell quicktime to keep its hands off midi files and then you should be okay.

quicktime -> all other players when playing midi. it sounds so much better
im not a mac user but are u sure u can just save as? if not the long way is to go into ur temp folder where it is downloaded to play. if macs have a temp folder at all >.>

why i can't post ?

You just did :huh:

Just to note, users that just joined cannot post links in their posts.

when i can post links ?

i have few request for godlight the arranger ( personal request , because ichigo doesn't allow a non anime song... )

If it's personal, then PM the user with the information rather than creating a topic thread. I've already approved your older post.

ok thanks

Maybe outdated lineups from previous seasons in the Anime and Manga forum should be de-pinned?

I cycle them by year. Once fall arrives, the fall anime sticky from the previous year will be dropped, and similarly when the other seasons arrive.

Nope, in Windows you can use the Roland software synthesizer which kicks Quicktime's arse without fucking up your system :)

I have a question. When a user has a plus next to their name what does it mean? Eg. Geneisi and souless. (Don't mean to pin point users but they're just some that I've noticed and remebered.)

The plus mark is a show that you have marked the user as a friend.

Oh ok. Thank You.

There is no way to delete your account, its either stay(!) or just dont visit/post anymore xD

Rust doesn't occur in the plumbing we call the Internet. Don't worry about leaving your account for long periods of time. I'll still be here, and there's no stigma attached with that.

And as Gekkeiju already answered, it's policy for the staff here to not delete accounts.

oh really? :) well I didn't mean literally anway XD

but they don't delete them at all? mmmm...s'just I had a massive panic about all the forum and games accounts I had and couldn't remember the names and passwords too, and panicked about getting some kind of bill in the far off future for them cuz I forgot to delete. Well..guess I'm just paranoid lol.
ta anyway :)

We don't delete accounts for this reason. If you really can't force yourself to stay away from this place, deleting your account won't help, you'll still browse anonymously. If it's a big problem for you, block *.ichigos.com in IE/FF in content/parental settings and have a friend set the password for you.

That, and we simply don't run a daycare here. It's your responsibity not to come here if you don't want to, not ours. It's just extra work for the staff and frankly, I personally can't be bothered with such silly requests.

I tried posting a reply to a topic earlier, but my post never appeared. After waiting for a while, I tried posting it again. Then I noticed that the auto-redirect page after posting said something about waiting for a moderator to approve the post. It's been a couple of days and my post still hasn't shown up, so I was wondering if it was somehow marked as spam. Could someone please tell me what happened to my post?

It usually happens when your post contains hyperlinks.

Alrighty. I guess I'll not use those anymore.

You can use Hyperlinks, but only after you graduate from a pending member (an invisible status). It'll happen automagically after a while, so dally around for about a week and you'll be fine.

I' m not sure if this was brought up yet or not, but what is that security thing that keeps me from using the search engine? @_@ I've tried to searech and it won't ever let me. I tried contacting admin and after I logged off it worked. But when I logged back in, it didn't again. Is there something I'm not doing right?

It's a problem with our current forum skin. To search when logged in, you must use the "advanced search" button on the bottom of the dropdown menu.

Oh, ok. Thank you very much ^_^

"Another side P1" in the kingdom hearts 2 section, the midi isn't getting read by garageband, while P2 is getting read like most of the midi files in the site... my quicktime can play it though so I'm guessing it was generated partially incorrect or something... can someone remake it so that my garageband can play it and I can join both parts together?

We don't support Garage band :P

Can I get my account removed?

Thanks.

If you don't post for long enough, I'm sure it will! Gand does pruning now and then.

Thanks.

Is there a extra ordinary reason why your account should be removed? I can almost guarantee you that your account won't be deleted unless there's something severe happening (with proof).

In other words, troll like mad!

I posted a few things last night to get me started...and I don't see it.

I posted a few things last night to get me started...and I don't see it.

No. You're just not active enough. New members are unable to post links or images without moderator or administrator approval. Posts that do contain moderated data is put into a queue and we (try to) quickly approve legitimate posts.

Oh. I'm so sorry if I'm complaining about it then! When I saw the my other posts were going in, I thought it was a glitch in the system!

Hey, I wanna start a Cosplay thread that not only tells what I wanna do, but ask others what kind of cosplay they'd like to do. And also share cosplays they've done before. So which section should I post it in?

Depends on what the cosplay is going to be about. If you want it to be purely about anime/game costuming, then the anime section would be best, as most times the two categories mesh with anime. If you want it to be about any form of costuming (movies, books, plays, et cetera), then I'd say the general chat would be best.

what if it's both?

Erm... If my ability to reason properly still makes sense, I think that would be a part of any; ergo General Chat.

Just note that the term Cosplay to the English audience will draw a lot of Anime and Game attention, so you might want to title the thread something different, but that's up to you.

Is there a extra ordinary reason why your account should be removed?
Nope. Should there be one, other than not having posted since 2006 and don't plan to start again?

I'll bug Gand if he's still around.

Not much, you?

Can I get my account removed?

Thanks.

No. We don't remove accounts. Standard policy and stuff.

So yeah, I've been getting this message lately, and it keeps on blocking me from posting/getting on the forums sometimes. It's something about a missing "security token."


Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

I tried researching it, but the jargon didn't make it past my brain :sweat:. Is there any way that you know of that might be able to fix this?

it's a well known one
if you choose advanced search it should work

Actually, if that's occurring during login or posting, that'd be a new one for us to put on the list. Although, I'm pretty sure it's the same problem.

A quick (and broken) fix for that is to use the "Ichigos Blue New" theme. That fixes all security token issues, but that theme doesn't support our spolier tags at this moment.

Other security token instances: when I tried to get on my own profile, when I try to go "Advanced" with my posts.

M: I was using Ichigo's New Blue when this happened. With that in mind, I tried using the regular Ichigo's Blue theme. So far, it's working out just fine. I know that it was unintended, but thanks for the solution. ^^

O.O The New Blue looks nice. Haven't noticed it 'til now.
xD

My experience is that this message occurs when there's something wrong with your cookies. Try logging off and on again, if that doesn't work, remove your cookes and maybe reset your browser's security settings

Someone had a similar question before about pictures/avatars but my photo is a .jpg file and it still says "invalid file" I know it works because I can see it on photoshop. How do I get it to work? And here is the total file name "D: \My Documents\E_docs\TsunaChibi.jpg"

Is the picture within the valid guidelines for avatars? The guidelines can be seen below the browsing bar, and is highlighted in yellow in the screenshot below:

http://img203.yfrog.com/img203/4895/screenshot001q.png

Mine says "Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 500 pixels or 125.0 KB (whichever is smaller)." And I made it 100x100 and 5 KB and it still says invalid file.( it was 360by360 64KB before)

Well, I think the mod's are getting jipped in the avatar category >:(

And that's a very abnormal problem. Can you upload the avatar to another site such as Imageshack (www.imageshack.us) or photobucket (www.photobucket)? If you can, you can put the direct link URL they provide in the first option field. This /should/ work, as that's what I've just tested.

Kind of on the same topic, I noticed that the attachments aren't working lately...the ones where you click "Go Advanced", then scroll down and click "Manage Attachments"? Every time I try to upload a file, it says its invalid...is it just me, or is that function currently disabled for some reason?...

This is a test post.

Ignore it.

Attachments taken from http://sebastianwolff.info/music.php#khsheets and http://www.tweetwoo.com/mus.html

Looks like all image formats are corrupt, but the general file formats are just fine. GAND!

Also affecting people registering, as the captcha image is also corrupt.
:S

This is fixed now. Had to do with the location of the ImageMagick binaries after we moved webhosts.

So, I havent been able to open any files, everyone of them says "invalid file". This includes ichigos files and the mus. files from the forums. Has something changed that I dont know about??

Yes! I had this issue the other day trying to open a .pdf off the site. I thought i just got a bad file though and didnt bother trying any others..

I have yet to get this problem. After checking two pages, I'd have to say that its a problem with your computer's connection. Are you certain you're getting the file and not the occasional "getfile.php".

I just got a weird email notification. It said this:

"Gotank has reported this visitor message:

I'm not a moderator, nor did I post a visitor message on Ander's profile page that I am aware of, so I was somewhat confused...

I had the same message: http://forums.ichigos.com/showthread.php?p=465843#post465843 .

Oddly enough, I did make a report regarding a post on Ander's page by a spambot (quotes Forrest Gump and then spams a bunch of commercial links, lol). I have no idea why it's getting sent to random forum members.

I'm guessing this is also related to the sudden influx of spam threads on all parts of the forum.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see your thread, clarinetist.

I leave for three days AND THIS!

On another note, can you please edit my email address a little, Deathraider? Would be annoying if email harvesters start sending me junk. :(

Sorry about that!

Hi... I have a question.
Why i can't download any sheets. When i open pdf files a window comes up but its completely blank? Is something wrong?
Thank you :)

Try right clicking on the link and "save target as"

i have tried, but it's not working

Are you using Internet Explorer 8? There's a problem with how IE8 handles Adobe's PDFs right now if ActiveX is blocked such that doesn't properly open a PDF in the browser without first opening Adobe Acrobat. The only solution is to save the file and then opening the file manually if you're experiencing this problem, which is what Han just described.

Saving the file directly to your computer should always work so long as you have the right program to open the file -- e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader/) or FoxIt Reader (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/) -- and that you feed that program the file in question -- running acrobat and then selecting File -> Open -> [select-file].

I made a full high school band/choir score for One Winged Angel and wanted to post it, but for some reason my MIDI isn't sending. Yes, it is a MID format.

Help is most appreciated. Thank you.

:)

Hi Chandler, welcome! When submitting the music, are you getting an error message? If so, what is it?

Also I'm going to merge this into an existing Helpdesk thread, just to keep things clean.

Yes, sir!

Anyways, my error message is:



Invalid file type (application/x-itunes-itlp) or no MIDI file specified. Please upload a MIDI file.

:hey: I'm pretty sure the file I specified into the space is .mid format.

That's odd, it should be audio/midi or audio/mid.. well I added application/x-itunes-itlp as an acceptable type, so go ahead and re-try your submission. Thanks for sending it in!


Yes, sir!

Actually, ChandlerJ, are you using Safari as your browser?

Actually, ChandlerJ, are you using Safari as your browser?

Nuh-uh. Mozilla Firefox. Why?

As our site was saying it was an ITunes LP file, I was just double checking to see if it wasn't the Safari browser attaching some extra data to your upload (apple likes to do that with their software). But that's not the case.

Maybe he has iTunes/Quicktime installed? I've seen that mess up a lot of software configurations.

Yo,

Im still having problems viewing videos when people are using the [*video][/video*] tags. I have to quote them and extract the youtube link.
any ideas?

Reinstall adobe flash player for your browser perhaps? If you use firefox and have adblock-plus installed, turn it off for ichigos. That can sometimes block videos.

Already done both of those things. And have cleaned out cache, cookies, temporary internet files etc, my proxy settings definitely dont interfere and it works fine on other forums I visit.

I'm not sure why its not working then. :think: Just maybe use a different browser for Ichigos in the time being. Sorry I can't help any further, this sounds more like an admin/M problem.

I get a similar problem, in the way that the video wont appear for a second or two, but waiting those couple seconds makes it appear. Now take that into account with gekkeis slow uni internet and you may find an answer?

Most likely it's a network latency problem, like HanTony said. I've tested the video tags in the four major broswers (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Opera) and they all work, but I noticed that IE takes longer when you have an antivirus installed, and Opera loads the entire page first and then steps downwards after completion to fill in the video blanks.

Perhaps we could ask someone to modify the tag to post a link to the video directly beneath the embedded object to help people on slower/filtered connections?

hm interesting. I only have the issue with firefox. Just tried it in IE and it works..


...but I dont wanna use IE :'(

Virus.

It's not a virus >:(

Try uninstalling Firefox then reinstalling it? Maybe your installation got messed up.

I'm not a computer expert. Anyway, my ideas are a firefox add-on, an ff browser setting (or cookie), or a background process somehow interfering. A fourth possibility is a flash setting or flash cookie (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html). I don't know what you have and haven't tried yet, so my apologies if you've already looked into all of those. =|

M always tells me everything is a virus, and I already cleaned out all the cookies :P
Meh, its not too big of a deal. I can just quote people to find out. Ta anyway guys

[yt]... crap, I forgot I deleted the html5 embedded tag for youtube.

M, you should have added an anchor link code when you were an admin. :think: I have been interested to try them for extensive posts with information. I think it could be useful for special cases.

M, you should have added an anchor link code when you were an admin. :think: I have been interested to try them for extensive posts with information. I think it could be useful for special cases.

Anchors are dangerous to give users free reign on, as there's no policing the term used (it's essentially a <span id="value"></span>). For example, I could write a tag that would perform an anchor in some page such as text, and it be understood as a valid bb tag by vB, but when a user goes directly to post 472803, it would result in showing the first anchor matching that reference of those two. Thus, it would break "go to latest post" and threaded deep linking.

I was not referring to the jump from one post to another by using an anchor link. More like pointing you to a specific paragraph of your own single post rather than going to other posts.

What you have described and what I have described are one in the same. The only difference is an example of usage. What I provided shows how it would break the forum's functionality if used in a particular way. Since there is no way to guard the usage of the tag, and by the general policy of "don't break things during development", it's too dangerous to create.

Ah, ok, I get you now!


By the way, that soundcloud track is so amazing! @.@

M I can see all of them. Even the video.
I think its when people are doing [*youtube][*/youtube]. eg, in the 'Instruments of the other kind' thread.

The youtube tag is just an object tag (the first entry). If you can see the first entry, then your browser is just fine and it's a network latency issue.

So, I don't know why, but when I try to download a file someone has attached to their post, it is saved as an unknown file type instead of what it actually is (like a .pdf since we're dealing with music sheets). Is it just because I'm a new member and can't download attached files yet? Or am I just doing something wrong? I looked in the FAQ and searched the forums for any kind of answer, but I didn't see anything pertaining to this.

Try typing the original format when you are saving it: ".pdf, .mp3, .mid, etc". Or open it in your browser and click "File > Save Page As/Save As".

I had tried that, but it still couldn't read the file. Which is why I then came to ask, since all the little tricks I know didn't work. ):

Is it just happening with one file or many? If it is one, can you link me?

It might be all of them, but I was mainly trying the ones I found here: link (http://forums.ichigos.com/showthread.php?12478-Kateikyoushi-Hitman-Reborn!-music-sheets!he&p=437437&viewfull=1#post437437)

What is the unknown extension file you are getting? Do you have adobe reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader/) installed?

I checked the files and all of them worked to me. Try to download them from a different browser.

Yes, I have adobe reader, and when I downloaded it with google chrome it worked. =/ And usually firefox is better than this. Well, it's not that much of a bother to use google chrome to save the files if firefox is going to be a pain about it.
Thanks for helping me!

I downloaded the files through Firefox. The only recommendation I can say is to re-install or update your Firefox.

You can also check Firefox support forum if you are still interested to solve your problem:

Alright, thank you very much! ^_^

i have a small problem with the site as of now, i keep getting logged out, randomly, i'll be browsing the forums, seeing if anything new is going on, and all of a sudden, i go to post, and i'm logged out, when not five minutes before i was logged in. any ideas on what would cause that or how to fix it, or is it just a site bug?

I've also been having this problem.

When you log in, do you check "remember me"? You don't have to check this for the forums to work, I'm just curious.

I do have remember me checked, and it looks like the cookie's expiration reflects this.

sometimes i do, sometimes i dont, but the outcome is always the same, i get randomly logged off, when i just logged on, either way, ive tested it at different locations too, and it does the same thing.

Weird, that has not happened to me yet and I have left this on for more than 24 hours.

I should add that I'm using Opera and have not tried it in Firefox/Chrome/IE.

i'm using firefox, and the problem happens in both windows seven and ubuntu linux.
