I think the problem is with the stuff you list below your avatar, Jim - that normed vertical line between the profile preview and the post is endless! Also that thing with the editing bar being displayed in the middle of the "fast reply" window is pretty annoying! And that issue is the very same with "full reply" - there's space for five or six lines, then there's the editing bar in the middle of the box where I type! And one more thing (forgive the line-breaks, but like this I can go on typing below the editing bar which is displayed in between!): some links open in the same window, as opposed to in a new tab or window, for instance the links to Amazon I posted here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=54606&view=findpost&p=984675 And please don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm trying to help you fix issues! And I do like the new looks!

I'm reading on IE7 now and indeed all posts by band members or moderators (at least Use3c's) are looooooooooooooooooong white posts mostly, with page down/up you need to hit about ten times to get to the next post. And it won't load properly, hence I've not read all the recent posts... also I'm now typing blindly because the editing bar is in the middle of the "fast reply" field and after the sixth line, the typing has to be done behind the editing bar... funny!

A guitar player by the name of Sir Jonathan Gasser has some great spots on the first of the "Jazz Studio" albums (one of the few worthy Lonehill reissue series). Of course his real name is Johnny Smith...

Hope you had some Leffe, that excuses everything!

Yeah, I guess so... everyone should adjust the settings to 40 posts per page to make the board an easier read!

Happy Birthday!

May take a little longer to arrive Flurin. Receiving orders from jazzology can take a few weeks domestically. I ordered from a Swiss site... not sure if some discs have delivery times of 1-2 weeks, otherwise the package may be here by tomorrow already!

What forum are you trying to upload into? This is the announcements forum and nobody can start topics or upload here except for me. And what error are you getting? It's possible the permissions are not set correctly for the upload folder. (...) I just tried to attach something and got an error, too. I bet the permissions are not set right for the uploads folder. I'll get on it. I just managed to attach an image - same one in the same thread that didn't work: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=56428&st=0&gopid=984677&#entry984677 I got a very unspecific error message (just "upload failed" or something similar) before. So with this solved, all looks fine on the latest version of Opera!

testing the attachment function again...

For those willing to shelve out 71€ for a Select (I'd be crazy enough if I hadn't gotten these, the Dexter and Pullen at this very price, I think), German Amazon still has a few of these left: Dexter Gordon (1 left) Grachan Moncur III (3 left, also some marketplace offers) Carmell Jones (1 left, and a few marketplace offers) I'm not taking any responsibility of course...

Lowe Blues for Lovers? Seriously, sounds like a great project, I'll be interested in that CD!

playing this one right now - very upbeat music! Up Jumped Spring (Delmark) This features Brad Goode on trumpet, Karl Montzka on piano, Larry Gray or Stewart Miller on bass, Tim Davis on drums, and on one track, Jacey Falk on vocals. Mostly unknown names to me, but it's a mighty fine disc!

Yes, and with Jimmy Smith - he was the only trombone player to appear on albums by those three, I think!

hm, the upload buttons for attachments appear, but uploads fail... weird!

Time to dig up the Mosaic again, I guess... I got that one in my pre-internet/credit-card days, when I sent IMOs to Mosaic and it took ages to get something. Wanted to get the Jimmy Smith but added a note that in case it was sold out by the time they get my order, they please add the Fuller. I wasn't disappointed in the end... now that some of the Smith is out as RVGs again, I think I enjoy the Fuller a lot more!

Happy Birthday! Got his OJCs in a frenzy when Concord started the big wipe-out and enjoyed them tremendously! Will put on the solo one later tonight, makes for good late night listening!

just curious... can you add attachments to posts in browsers other than IE? It works, but not in this part of the forum! Try a "full" reply in another section and you'll get the "add attachment" buttons and all - at least with latest Opera! Btw, glad the emoticons are still the same ones!

People Time - The Complete Recordings delivered an hour ago - just started disc 2

Ok, so it's official - with Opera, there's no attachment function! (I thought I was blind, but Niko confirmed it...) That's not a biggie as I also have Firefox installed for worst cases (I have no MSIE but whenever I try to install the latest version, my computer tells me I have a newer version than that already installed...)

I have another quibble... no matter what site I'm looking at, there's always one "element" that doesn't load. On the right side of the browser's (latest Opera, version 10.10 that is) address bar, it keeps telling me that "Elements 94/95" (or 58/59 or whatever) have loaded and the site just keeps loading, no matter how long it's been open. Also I can't see where to upload attachments. Trying to share an image with a link now:

Things seem to be working perfectly well on Opera (latest version). Sorry I missed Aggie's vertical party last night... Jim, about the quotes, here's a good example: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=56129 Posts #14 and #15 are readable, they have an empty line between the quoted and the post's own text, but post #16 doesn't and it's indeed pretty hard to figure out where the new post begins!

Ordered some early jazz a few days ago... from the American Music label mostly (I only have one of their George Lewis discs). The funny thing is, I don't know what I ordered, as from that site you don't get an order confirmation, but I guess latest by end of the week, there'll be a parcel waiting for me Some more George Lewis will be in it, and I think some Oscar "Papa" Celestin, Wild Bill Davison, Bunk Johnson and more... will report back once the package gets here! I know this is not exactly "early jazz", but it's (mostly) guys of that generation doing their thing a few decades later (40s and 60s - was there none of this revivalist stuff recorded in the 50s? There's plenty from 44/45 and then from around 59/60 on again, what was up in between? Just cool and hardbop and slime and candies?)

Good to know, would be nice if they could fix it! It's a bit hard to see where quotes end and posts begin like it is, but I'm sure we could live with that and get used to look a bit closer, if they can't change it!

That's great - I'll wait as well, then!

You ought to check out the early releases of the Mahavishnu Orchestra! Urgently!
