17 Aug 05 - 10:19 AM (#1543932) Subject: RE: tech: Little known features From: MMario Have you ever visited The Mudcat MIdi page - many tunes not yet in the DT have been posted here - both for songs with lyrics in the DT and songs discussed on the forum. |

Hint: trace this page while it's still up on the menu. (?) John |

17 Aug 05 - 08:27 PM (#1544451) Subject: RE: tech: Little known features From: McGrath of Harlow The Mudcat still astonishes me with new stuff after a good few years as a regular visitor. Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden path that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. (Tolkien, of course.) |

30 Aug 05 - 07:33 PM (#1553096) Subject: RE: tech: Little known features From: The Fooles Troupe You can also add an entry to your hosts file that translates the 'media' host to the 'www' host IP number like I did. You don't need to edit each midi file URL in the address line of your browser then. It would be even easier for users if the Mudcat.org Domain Administrator just exported the correct IP translation though. 207.103.108.105 media.mudcat.org |

When you use SuperSearch, click on the thread link provided in the results, not the message link. -Joe Offer- |

03 Dec 05 - 08:11 AM (#1619196) Subject: RE: tech: Little known features From: Jim Dixon I am astonished at this. If you're looking at a thread where the sequence of messages has been scrambled, and you want to see them in chronological order, all you've got to do is click "Printer Friendly" at the top of the page, and voila! How come no one has noticed this before? |

03 Dec 05 - 08:19 AM (#1619199) Subject: RE: tech: Little known features From: GUEST,Jon Not spotted that Jim but it does not surpsise me. My (admittedly remote) reading of the situation where I beelieve the message ID's are messed up is that the main forum sorts by ID and a simple change, ie. ORDER BY Posted as opposed to saying say Message_ID would make 99.99999% of threads read correctly. It just could be that "printer friendly" works that way. |
