After you check the box to choose songs to delete, then select the "garbage can" to do the actual delete action - they should  vanish!    Sorry to hear if this isn't working for you.  I've found from discussing with others that there are several things that may be an issue if your pages are not displaying as expected.

One main culprit when it comes to songbooks and taking actions within them is Java.  Please make sure you have java installed, that it's the most recent version available (up to date), and that it is enabled in your browser.  There's some more information available in this thread concerning Java: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic. … 54#p170754

It also doesn't hurt to clear out cookies and cache from your browser, although it's more likely that Java's to blame in this instance if clicking the "delete" (garbage can, rubbish bin) does not yield a result.  If you continue to experience issues after updating Java and clearing cookies and cache, please DO let us know and we'll be happy to help some more!  If you're not sure what I'm talking about and reviewing the information I've linked to doesn't help clear things up, don't be shy!  I'll be happy to help more!    There's a good amount of people that play guitar and are not computer whizzes!  It's a-ok to ask for more info, and additional help with these tasks!

It's my PLEASURE to help out with this site.  I consider my time volunteering to moderate the forums as quite a privilege, honor, really enjoyable, and really not work at all. 

I agree with NELA... it's about YOU - all of you, every single last one of you!  The members make these forums fantastic!  I mean, Chordie in general is pretty great, but the members in the forums make me really want to "be here".  So...

THANK YOUALL!!!!

Thanks rainer_dahlmann and drrichpcmd!  I'm looking over the info now and will get back to you soon!

I believe which ever songbook was created most recently will be the one that comes up first.  There's not really a way to rearrange which shows at the top.  You could create a new book and copy all the songs you want to show first into that new book though. Then I believe the new book would show up first, and as your "default". 

Happy NGD Joe!  I like the look of the "new" one, and I think it's commendable of you to fill an empty guitar stand.  No sense having anything like that empty. 

GLAD to hear SOMEONE got their stuff working!  YAY for that!!!!

And then a big fat, HUMPH!  Well... it seems like we should be seeing a LOT more people with issues like these if it was entirely a new user issue.  However, I am concerned because ALL of you still having issues have registered here since the site was moved to our new server.  Ok, I have one question and one task for each of you that has stated that you're still having issues with the inability to add songs to your songbook and getting weird blank songbook id's.

QUESTION:  When you registered your account, do you recall receiving an account confirmation email that you had to click on to finish registering and activating your account?  And you DID click it right?   I expect to see a Yes and Yes from everyone!  Although "I don't remember" is fine, and a "NO" will be a really strong sign of what the problem is!  LOL!   I just want to make sure that DID happen.  You should not be able to post here in the forums if you didn't verify your email address already.

TASK:  Go to this website: Click here to send me your browser info about being unable to add songs to your songbook
In the NAME field please enter your registered CHORDIE username (ie: mine is mekidsmom) and enter your email address in the appropriate field. 
THEN, come back in here and post a reply letting me know your answers to the Question and that you've completed the task.

The information about your browser and system will be emailed to ME and me alone, no one else will be viewing it at this point.  After I review the information, if I don't see anything that jumps out as the culprit, I will share the information with our Admin along with your usernames, Chordie account info, etc so that he can take a look at your accounts. 

For clarity, the website I'm sending you to is called whatismybrowser.com, I have embedded some information into the link so that I don't have to enter my email address on the forums publicly (this helps prevents spammers searching for email addresses to collect them and then send me spam).  I've also embedded my "name" (although it's not my name, it's a reference to this thread).  Basically, by embedding that information into the link, it will pre-populate on the webfrom that you'll enter your forum name and email address into, making life easy!    You can scroll UP on that page to see the information that will be sent to me.  If you know stuff about stuff, and see that there's something that might be off, feel free to use the information that's provided on that page to update whatever needs updating and then try Chordie again.  If all is good, you can of course just reply here.  If not, then you can always go back to the link and send the info over to me at that time.  It sounds like a few of you know a little about what you're doing, so I don't want to insult you at all, I just want to make certain that there's not some weird little thing throwing stuff off.  In the past, people had problems viewing pages and it took us forever to figure out the issue had to do with some add-ins they had installed on their browsers.  So, I think just asking for all this info up front after basic troubleshooting will prevent issues down the road.  We can just cross so many things off the list of possibilities this way!   

PLEASE only click on the "click here to..." link above if you're having an issue with THIS particular topic at hand, are posting about it in the forum, and need to send your browser information to me!   Otherwise, just go to www.whatismybrowser.com if you're curious about the information that I've asked them to send me, and want to see your own browser information.  It's a pretty cool site.  I've used a website similar to this for work tech support stuff.

I'm just now going through a few of these threads... and saw this one.  The handling of cookies has changed recently.  If anyone is experiencing this, you'll need to clear your cookies.  Generally clearing your cache will also clear out your cookies, however, just a simple clearing of cookies should do the trick.  Then, you'll get NEW cookies and can eat till your stuffed because internet cookies contain ZERO Calories (that's a joke, seriously though, you'll be able to log in properly)!  I'm replying to this one in particular as anyone experiencing this may possibly not be able to come to the forums to tell us about it and may be reading this all the same.

Here's a Wiki Article for you all about clearing cookies: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cookies

Roger, I'm seeing the same thing. Basically, when in a song I hit the chord grid to see alternate ways to form the chord, however cannot choose one of the alternates to show in the song itself.  Honestly, I can't recall if this was a working function in the past or not though?  For some reason, I don't think it was... however because Tom is asking, it sounds like it may have been! I do think it would be a cool feature to have.  Roger, are you able to get a different chord grid to show on a song?

You may need to clear out your cache.  It sounds like you're possibly viewing a saved version of the page rather than the updated version.  This was happening at first, but was fixed.  Please try that, and let us know if it's working after.  Make sure your browser is up to date as well! 
How to clear Cache: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache

The options to change the way pages are printed was removed from the website.  However, you should still be able to make similar changes by utilizing the capabilities in your printer software.  When you hit the print button, a print dialog should come up.  From here, you probably just usually hit "ok" (or print) and start printing.  Instead of hitting "ok", look for a button such as "preferences" or "advanced" (it's usually right next to the name of your printer selected).  Once you're into the next screen, you should see an option to choose PRINT PREVIEW.  You'll want to check that!    This is also where you would be able to choose to print 2 copies per page, print front and back (if your printer has the duplex capabilities), choose to print a fast draft (utilizing less ink), etc.  When done, hit SAVE or OK and you'll be taken back to the FIRST print dialog box that came up.  Now you can hit OK (or print).  You should see a print preview come up on this page, and the ability to change a few things (like printer margins and such) and then PRINT or CANCEL.  Once you hit print from here, your paper will start printing.  You can always cancel, and then change the font size on the webpage and start the print process over if you need to.   If you need more help with your specific printer software, I suggest visiting the manufacturer's website.  Or, I'll be happy to lead you in the right direction if you can provide the make and model number of your printer. 

JOE - I see the weird line is back.  I'm going to give it a bit to see if it clears up -  It could be a minor display tweak made recently.  Annoying, but least of the worries no doubt. I use the function all the time too!  COMMENT ERRORS: I noticed the error regarding comments only in SOME songs, but not all.  Are you having this issue only with songs saved in your songbook?  See below for an example song to use.

CHORDPRO ISSUES IMPORTING TO SONGBOOK/ONSONG APPS - Our admin is looking into this, however please understand that our admin does not work directly with the app makers, nor do they communicate directly with him, so it is difficult for him to determine the exact cause of the import function no longer working on their app with our pages.  This may be an issue with the app.  It may be something that can be changed by our admin on Chordie.com. However, without inside knowledge of what their import button is looking for and apparently missing, this can take some time.  Generally speaking, you should be able to view the chordpro version of a song page (IF it exists), copy the text with all formatting, and paste it into a new file within your apps to create the new song if their built in import button isn't working. You may wish to write into them and advise the issues you are having.  Should they wish to do so, they are welcome to contact our admin at admin@chordie.com - if there's something missing from our pages that our admin can add, they should be able to tell us what it is for a quicker fix! 

Example of What a Song Page SHOULD look like:

Below is a perfect example of a song that actually has proper formatting on the original page where the song is indexed from, and hosted.  Anyone getting ANY type of errors with song formatting, changing views, seeing chordpro, making comments, etc...  should refer to this song.  Everything should work as expected here:

Properly formatting song example: http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/getso … age.chopro
The song is hosted here in it's original chordpro format: http://getsome.org/guitar/olga/chordpro … age.chopro

If you find other songs don't display the same as this one, then it's likely an issue with the formatting of the song from where it's originally hosted (and really nothing Chordie can do, but to display a better version of the song for you from a different location, but we could use your help finding them!)

This is device specific (depends on your device, not the website).  This wiki gives an idea of how to copy and paste with Apple mobile devices:
http://www.wikihow.com/Copy-and-Paste-o … iPod-Touch

I'm not sure how that works on iPad, or if the information is outdated.

There's an article here indicating that iPad's may have a copy/paste function built into the keyboard for iOS9 (I don't see these on my iPhone though): http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/06/ … re-on-ipad

Here's the photo for quick reference, maybe you won't need to view the whole articles!  Apparently a triple tap of text MIGHT highlight the text you want to copy and bring up a menu to choose "copy" as well. In the photo, the upper left corner of the keyboard shows scissors (cut), then icons for copy and paste.

So, the folks that can't see a songbook at all... please clear your cache and then you'll need to log back into chordie.  Once you've done that, see if you can then add a new song to your songbook.  Let me know if this works.  Also, on your "My Songbook" page (http://www.chordie.com/songbook.php) can you see the option to "Add Book"?  If so, please do that, and THEN try to add a song to your newly created book.  It almost sounds like you're viewing the other pages without being logged in.  If you still can't add any songs, see anything different, I'll be asking some questions about your browser next.  If you're not sure how to clear your cache, there are specific instructions available here fo different browsers: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache

Peter (Trugmolly) - And Deadeye - Still having this issue?  Can you please try to clear your cache one more time?  Can you view public books?  Here's one of mine that I just double checked IS public: http://www.chordie.com/songbook.php?songbookid=269030  Do you get an error viewing that?
Can you create a NEW book?  (as described above).  If so, please add a few songs to it, and then see if you're able to view the NEW book without any errors.  Is it possible that you have TWO accounts on Chordie and you've tried signing in with the other account recently?  If so... clear your cache, and then ONLY log in with the account in question and see if you can view the songbook.  Make sure NOT to sign in with the other account until you can verify if the first account is working.  Are you having issues with the other account (if you have one)?

Let me know how this works.  If it's still not working, I'll be asking browser questions too.  Please understand right off the bat, Chordie is going to work with the latest version of popular browsers.  You'll need at LEAST Internet Explorer version 9 or newer (if you're using an older PC - still running Win XP - you're probably using an out of date browser).  I have a very strong preference to Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. You may need to make sure your browser is up to date.  If you're not sure how to do this, I can help.  On the other hand though, if you DON'T already have Firefox or Chrome, downloading one of those for free and logging in on it will ensure a clean cache version of the latest browser and may save a lot of time.  And YES, the issue could be with your account itself, but I'd like to make sure it's not something else first.  The admin may have to manually look into your accounts.  THANKS!!!

hmmm, never heard of it.  I will say, it has a very interesting look!  It also clearly means someone would likely have to work pretty hard at retraining muscle memory to play it!  Wowzers!

I tend to be pretty good at searching, but couldn't find it myself.  I did however find a youtube page with a recording of the song here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f_19eBtAp8

Perhaps someone can figure out the chords for ya.
