I didn’t make it to High Water this year.

How was it?

Best / worst sets?

Any hot takes?

Dude Eggy is so sick

How were the shows?

RIP Peach Fest

@partyboygeezy I made the Philly forum public! I had it up for a while but it had 0 posts so i made it private. Mostly jam bands is cool!

I am still figuring out how to organize things around here but posting about Philly shows in there would be sick and I know at least Gardner & i will keep up with it

Philadelphia, PA

Also dude, so sick that you went to that show. The setlist was fire.

Thanks for sharing the review. Sounds like a badass time!

@chubes the issues marked in my last post are now fixed! lets goooo

Okay, a few more things for the list

1. “Jump to latest” button currently does not work
2. Replies should take you to the latest post when posted, currently that doesnt seem to be working

As im trying not to stay up until 6am again, this will have to wait until later.

Sometimes sleep is more important than building my forum that hardly anybody uses anyway!

Cheers

@qrisg Jackie Venson is a dope blues guitarist

a lot of the bands i saw were people was already familiar with this time around, honestly.

Saw Susto string band 3 times, She Returns From War 3 times.

This local band called The Point was pretty sick though. Had never heard them before.

First weekend’s worth of shows are in the books, and the full tour was just announced.

Thanks for continuing to share here! Awesome how you were one of our first members and keep coming back to post.

Oops one more error… private forums are showing up in the main feed in most active!

Okay now that it’s live i can see there might be some issues with the most active calculations

it’s 5:30am here now so i need to go to sleep rather than keep working on this.

but the forum is so much nicer now it’s ridiculous

hope you enjoy!

Okay. This forum has officially been given a facelift.

Expect more changes to come next week, including the full launch of Sarai Chinwag.

Couple more things on my mind at 4:30am:

1. Fix avatar alignment on sidebar

2. Add the autocomplete for mentions to the editor

3. Take extrachill.com to dark mode

4. fix the border on the editor to not be so light

5. Make it so when you navigate away from a page after typing in the box, it doesnt warn you, it just saves the content

6. Ensure everything else works smoothly.

7. Show user submitted events on profiles

8. Set up email notifications

This is a soft launch for now. You’re welcome to anybody who notices the difference right away (how could you not!)

Cheers! Would love to know what anyone thinks of this!

the forum redesign is coming along

this thing is going to be so much better when i re-launch it. you guys are going to love it
