Songbooks Issues? Please Post in THIS thread for help! (Page 1 of 3)

Yep. That's how I found mine.

I can see my songbook in the drop down list but when I click it I get this message:

Private Songbook
You did try to access a songbook owned by somebody else.

If you got this link from somebody you know, please contact that person to ask if he/she can make this book public.

- It used to be Public. Don't know how to change it. Even if it was private, shouldn't it still let me see the songs?

Sorry this doesn't work for me  this is what I get     My Songbook
The songbook is your personal collection of guitar chords and guitar tabs.
After you have added the songs to the songbook, you can edit the songs to correct errors. You can also print the songs as a high quality booklet.
To use the songbook you need to log in. It is free to register.
I am signed in any suggestions? jim

The log in issue should be resolved now.  Sorry about the frustration, and thank you to everyone that reported it!  That made the fix much quicker! 

If you're still having issues with missing songbooks, let us know!

Hi Rainer,

Welcome to Chordie. The Songbook should already be in place but empty, so please try looking at a song, then add it to your Songbook by clicking on the 'ADD' shown in the photo below. Hopefully when you have something in it you will be able to see it. Let me know how you get on please.

I have the same problem as Rainer. I'm a registered member. The input box next to "Add" (as circled) remains blank and when I go to My Songbook the page is completely blank with no tools available at the top. The My Songbook page address ends "Songbook id=    " showing no Songbook name.

Thanks to Unclejoesband for trying to help me but when I hit "My Songbook" it takes me to a completely blank page. I've never seen "My Songbook (0)" not even next to the blue "Add" button circled in the screen grab above. I'm also having problems with transferring songs to the "Songbook" app via an internet search. All this since the recent changes to the web site.

Well I guess the problem is above my pay grade.

I'm sure someone will be along to help figure it out. The folks that run the site are incredibly busy right now working out the bugs.

HI
All is good now thanks. I logged in today and my songbook appeared which was nice. I did not do anything else apart from clear the cache yesterday which I did a couple of times with re starts so not sure how it resolved itself. I may have run cc cleaner earlier today before I went out but I actually forget if I got around to doing it. Anyway I mostly use Firefox.  Happy to have it back and once again it is a fantastic site.   I am off to twang and make luvverly sounds.
Thanks for the speedy responses and I hope everyone gets theirs sorted asap.

i recently signed up with the intent of adding songs to a songbook, however I do not have a songbook page. The page is blank. I have cleared the cache and that did not help. I have tried several browsers (Chrome, firefox, waterfox, opera, internet explorer, sea monkey and edge) and they all have the same results, blank page. I can view public songbooks with no problem. I have tried using the "add" button but that does not work either (blank songbook).I do not believe that this is a browser issue, it seems that I do not have a "songbook" page associated with my account.

GLAD to hear SOMEONE got their stuff working!  YAY for that!!!!

And then a big fat, HUMPH!  Well... it seems like we should be seeing a LOT more people with issues like these if it was entirely a new user issue.  However, I am concerned because ALL of you still having issues have registered here since the site was moved to our new server.  Ok, I have one question and one task for each of you that has stated that you're still having issues with the inability to add songs to your songbook and getting weird blank songbook id's.

QUESTION:  When you registered your account, do you recall receiving an account confirmation email that you had to click on to finish registering and activating your account?  And you DID click it right?   I expect to see a Yes and Yes from everyone!  Although "I don't remember" is fine, and a "NO" will be a really strong sign of what the problem is!  LOL!   I just want to make sure that DID happen.  You should not be able to post here in the forums if you didn't verify your email address already.

TASK:  Go to this website: Click here to send me your browser info about being unable to add songs to your songbook
In the NAME field please enter your registered CHORDIE username (ie: mine is mekidsmom) and enter your email address in the appropriate field. 
THEN, come back in here and post a reply letting me know your answers to the Question and that you've completed the task.

The information about your browser and system will be emailed to ME and me alone, no one else will be viewing it at this point.  After I review the information, if I don't see anything that jumps out as the culprit, I will share the information with our Admin along with your usernames, Chordie account info, etc so that he can take a look at your accounts. 

For clarity, the website I'm sending you to is called whatismybrowser.com, I have embedded some information into the link so that I don't have to enter my email address on the forums publicly (this helps prevents spammers searching for email addresses to collect them and then send me spam).  I've also embedded my "name" (although it's not my name, it's a reference to this thread).  Basically, by embedding that information into the link, it will pre-populate on the webfrom that you'll enter your forum name and email address into, making life easy!    You can scroll UP on that page to see the information that will be sent to me.  If you know stuff about stuff, and see that there's something that might be off, feel free to use the information that's provided on that page to update whatever needs updating and then try Chordie again.  If all is good, you can of course just reply here.  If not, then you can always go back to the link and send the info over to me at that time.  It sounds like a few of you know a little about what you're doing, so I don't want to insult you at all, I just want to make certain that there's not some weird little thing throwing stuff off.  In the past, people had problems viewing pages and it took us forever to figure out the issue had to do with some add-ins they had installed on their browsers.  So, I think just asking for all this info up front after basic troubleshooting will prevent issues down the road.  We can just cross so many things off the list of possibilities this way!   

PLEASE only click on the "click here to..." link above if you're having an issue with THIS particular topic at hand, are posting about it in the forum, and need to send your browser information to me!   Otherwise, just go to www.whatismybrowser.com if you're curious about the information that I've asked them to send me, and want to see your own browser information.  It's a pretty cool site.  I've used a website similar to this for work tech support stuff.
