Hi Rob,

OK, if you cannot take a screenshot, have you at least e-mailed 'admin' and explained the situation?

Roger

NOTE TO EVERYONE  The admin guru that sorts these thing out does not check in here every day, but he does check his e-mails daily, hence the request to e-mail him. Thank you.

Hey Russ this is the sort of thing I use, it plugs just into a USB port to power the fan or fans.

Russell, I always run my laptops on a tray with a cooling fan since I had a similar problem some time ago and I have not had the same happen since (touch wood). They are not expensive these days.

I have had an i-phone, an android phone and a windows phone and given them all away as useless junk. I now have a phone that is a phone, a computer that is a computer and a camera that is a camera. They each do exactly as I want them to do, quicker, easier and with superior results than a composite item; I am a now happy man.

I know there are some (but not all) Android tablets having this problem. If someone send me a screenshot I will be able to fix it.

Any reports from other platforms with issues, are appreciated. Ads should not cover songs/menus.

I hope you guys have done this. Admin needs to see what is happening and know what equipment I affected to resolve it. I am afraid that just passing a comment here will not make it happen. smile

Bill...

I certainly agree with your estimation of the talent within the Chordie family, and I'm sure that talent spans the whole range of skill levels. The common thing that bonds us is that we all love music and guitars, and this site celebrates that union in a non-competitive, inviting atmosphere. I think we can each recognize great work as it's posted, without making it a contest. In the end, it is the effort, creativity, and the love of song that 's being recognized and rewarded. If the writer enjoyed creating it, then it's mission accomplished.

Just my 2-cents worth.

I am in complete agreement with TF here and I feel that bringing in an element of competition would bring a detrimental effect to Chordie.

On a couple of occasions we have had several people record the same song but that was for fun and to see how different people interpret lyrics and chords, not an "I am better than you" thing.

My 2-penny worth.

The Windows 8.1 laptop that needed the updates has just gone to Windows 10 smile. The third one which I use in the shop and currently has Windows 7, I needed to perform the registry change but now it is ready for me to upgrade to Win10 on Monday when I am back in the shop.

It will be nice to have them all the same.

I am pretty it has to be less than 10kb and no more than 60x60 (that is configuration of what I have used).

I have it on one laptop but neither of the other two. Just checked for updates and installed 8 but still no Win10 on re-start and no fail message in update history. I guess I am still in the queue for this one and I will check the one in the shop tomorrow. smile

Dino, I think you have misunderstood Bill in this instance. This is the 'Songwriting' section and I am sure that he offered it as a suggested topic for a new song to be composed.

Perhaps Bill should attempt writing a song too smile

OK I have just returned home and switched on, I got an e-email message about this thread that Baldguitardude replied at 6:45 (my time) saying "I just added a message. What happened?" but none of the later ones are mentioned.

I got an e-mail also for the Friday's blues fix I got Dino's "sonny  browney and some summertime from mkm,all good!" but no mention of the later message from Bill.

Just as our Amy said would happen. So it all appears to be working OK for me.

Bill let us know if Amy's tweak has made any difference.

Roger

Just a point as an afterthought; Bill you do switch your computer, laptop or whatever off between visits, don't you? If you do not switch it off you will not get fresh notifications.

Lo and behold! On checking my e-mails before I came here I had two messages that mekidsmom had posted on both threads that I had subscribed to. I said to myself "Thank you Amy, you are testing to see if they are working" smile and they are.

I now need to see what happens when further messages are added.

and if you count the violin (which I cannot play) that makes a nice round 100. lol

Roger

OK a couple of the guitars are only temporary (damaged and in for repair and then re-sale).

OOOOoooooouch I do hope we will get to see some pictures and maybe some video. Fearless leader is still coming right (Roger Guppy)? Well at least we have pre season football coming up.

Although I like the "Fearless Leader" title, that belongs to Per and not I, I am merely the longest serving (still active) minion big_smile

But yes, I am still coming, the plane ticket was paid for months ago and I am now beginning to get quite excited.

Hi Bill, in the 12 or so  years I have been with Chordie I have never subscribed to a thread so I have no idea how (and if) it works. smile

I will do so now and see what happens, so please bear with me for a day or so while I check it out.

Roger

P.S. I have subscribed to this and the 'Friday Blues Fix' which regularly gets an update so I will see what happens now.

Through this forum we get to know each other from the comments and views expressed and we often use the term family as that is how it seems. Probably, because as musicians we have to be able to feel and express the emotions of the songs we sing, we gain the empathy to feel and care for others we know.

We are too far away to give any physical help so we try to support in whatever way we can, so if you want music, we can at least send you a little of that. smile

Wishing you a speedy recovery Dondra.

Roger

I dropped the photo from Facebook in for you smile

Fine looking investment to me.

Hi,

Transposition is working fine, I have just checked on my laptop.

You do not say, but I suspect you are using one of these new fangled , multi tasking implements (that never do anything properly smile ) and not a PC or laptop.

Drop a line to admin@chordie.com explaining your problem but you must include what equipment you are using and what operating system.

My thoughts and prayers are with Dondra and your self and I am hoping the medics can soon find a solution to the recurring problem.

Roger

P.S. Glad you have mastered the tablet, we get worried when we don't hear from you.
