I have a periodic problem accessing the forum from the links on the main page (the 5 most recent replies), in multiple browsers.  If I click it I get a screen like this: 

EDIT: Picture didn't load.  Basically its empty white boxes with broken image icon

However, if I go to the dropdown menu at the top and access the forum that way, everything seems to work.  It fixes itself throughout the day, but wondering what is happening?

I have this problem too but once I sign in it goes away and the page loads fine. Is this problem occurring when you're signed in or only when you haven't signed in yet?


Interesting.  It happened again, but as soon as I logged in, everything works fine.  Good catch Juge.  What be happening Rik?

It's the 404 page that you are getting, which is strange. I checked the script for the latest posts links, and it seems to be fine, even though I may try to change the default links to https. Since I am not able to recreate the error you're getting, please let me know if you keep having this issue!


If/when you do get the 404 screen, could you copy the URL address in your browser at that time and post it here?

New feature in the Concert Chronology: Played Songs Archive.


https://belowempty.com/psa.php


It's basically a search engine for contents of the set lists that are stored on the site. Enjoy. If you run into errors, please report them here.

Thank you Rik- This is THE BEST.  I've been wanting this feature forever, but I figured it would be way too much work.  Not sure how you found the time, but THANK YOU!

That's fantastic. Rik, as a matter of interest, can you glean from the setlist data, a list of songs that have never been played live?

I still have some work to do on it, but it works at least for the set lists that are stored now. Funny thing is, I found 90% of the code in a file I worked on as far back as 2008. It was a very crude version without a user interface. Glad I'm not the only one who likes to play with this kind of data :)

Interesting idea. I think I can make the database cross-reference its data from the Song Info Archive with the Set lists in the Concert Chronology. But first I have to address a storage problem with special characters in song titles that mess up the database searches.
