Kara-Moon Forum

I have several questions relating to the use of the K-M site answers to which no-one I asked has any answers.

1. What is the purpose of the Sequence feature on the Song Upload Page? Is it for arranging and re-arranging the sequence of the song display? How can do we use it?

2. How do we add our name as a Friend for a fellow musicians artist page?

Should we not have a specific part of the forum for questions and answers to such site-user topics?

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,

To add yourself as a "friend" to another artist on the Artist Page, just log in, bring up their page, and click on "add a comment". Make your observations regarding their songs, hit the "enter" button, and you show up as a friend once you've refreshed the page.

One little problem, though... I went through the process to confirm my instructions - and it failed. The site has migrated recently to a new server that can handle more member traffic, but it appears some of these features were lost in the transition.
It looks like the "sequence" function also needs some attention... ::)

Rest assured we're all over it like a cheap suit - and thanks for keeping us on our toes... 8)

Oren.

Still no answers :'(

Dan,

Kara and Moon have been working overtime, getting ready for a live performance that just transpired. Once they've dealt with the audio and video material that was recorded during the proceedings, there will be more time for site maintenance.

I don't have the chops to trouble-shoot things myself (guitar players, you know - all attitude, no brains :-[), but you have not been forgotten.

Thanks for your patience... :)

Sorry to haven been absent for a while. I'll try to sort these things out next weekend though...

Moon

I'm sorry for bothering about this again, but I feel this information is vital to at least a few of the people using this site and someone ought to be able to answer these questions which have now been posted for a very long time.

Thanks,

Dan

This does indeed need sorting.  Just tried to add a comment and it crashed out.  I wasn't aware that it was still broken :(

I'll send a mail to moon

 :-[ Soory... guilty as hell....

I've fixed this.

Can someone test this to be sure ?

Tried posting a comment on your page, site said comment went through, but hasn't appeared on your page, even after refresh/clearing cache.

Just made a comment on Mo's page (long overdue actually!) Seemed to go OK.

I'm glad it was fixed but the initial post was very specifc and it still has not been answered.
Please read the original posting.

Thanks,

Dan

I thought it had been answered ???

To be listed as a friend simply make a comment (Edit Comment).

I've never used the 'sequence' feature myself, but as far as I'm aware it is just that. You put numbers in and that's the order the tracks will play.

I'm afraid it did not occur to me that one had to be logged in in order to see EDIT COMMENT (good thing you showed it in parentheses). But I guess, I thought that non-members (guests) could also make comments. On reflection I can see that would open the door to spam.

So, I tried it and it worked.

The Sequence Feature -does not appear to do anything. Please try it and see. So if indeed it is simply a matter of putting a number in (is the correct format 1, 10, .... or 01, 10, ...or 001, 101 ?)

 A. It works neither when you initially upload a Song (I have been trying to do that every time I've uploaded for the last year or so

 B. Nor does it work for Songs already uploaded when you simply test in Edit Mode.


Many things assumed to work do not, until they are really tested. This does not appear to work -unless there is some special secret technique to get it to work.

Thanks,

Dan

Right. I've just tried this on my tracks and had no problem.

By default all track have a sequence value of '0' and play in the order that are uploaded.

The very first track of mine was 'Ghost Train'. I changed the sequence number to '1' and when I refreshed the page it had moved to the bottom.

Next I changed the new top 'We Are Coming Home' sequence number to '1', and on updating, it moved below 'Ghost Train'.

Finally I changed 'Ghost Train' sequence number to '2' and it again moved to the bottom.

I finally got back to this and I'm afraid my experience is not all that good.

First of all my new downloads do not load at the top but appear at some unpredictable locations in the sequence.

Second I am totally unable to move any one particular song to the very top no matter whether I type 0 or 00 or 01 etc.

However I was able to move some songs from the top position to lower down in the sequence.

Perhaps I am not doing something right.

I choose Edit and then type a number into the sequence box and do nothing else other than type the verification letters.

Then I Reload the page to see what happened.

Perhaps it fails to work as expected because I have a very large number of songs uploaded.  It used to put new uploads at the very top in the past.  If it is only tested with a smaller number of songs the bugs would not show up -it's been known to happen.

So, you can see why I say that my experience is not very good.  I spent over an hour messing with it and after moving some things around  I gave up.

Thanks,

Dan

Moon is back end of this week.
I'll ask him to have a look
