Well the College season is over!  Got to hand it to Ohio State, they came to win and got'r dun! 

Sorry Ducks, they just outplayed you fella's all the way round.  But really? how many times can you call the same play in a row without somebody on your defense getting wise?  Not to mention those "shot m'self in the foot again" fouls?  Sixty yards in penalties!

  Nah, the Buckeyes just wanted it more.... forget the ticker-tape, I hear they're stockpiling rocks down in Eugene.

Good Luck to the Packers Today!!  Nothing against the Cowboys though.... this part of the season is where the best football is played, by the best performers of the season. 

Green Bay and Seattle would be a really good show to end the year on!  Kickoff in 10 so gotta go turn on the "tube".

Well, I just logged on and read your post.... it's working fine for me.  Is there any indication of a "hotlink" or advertisement that you are experiencing?
We have had some comments about intrusive ads covering up elements of the Chordie page on some devices (although Chordie itself has curtailed advertising, Adsense still sticks in stuff as part of "your browser experience").  Ad-Block does a good job of filtering out the ads... just add the free plug-in from your browser add-ons menu.

We'll hang around and see if it is widespread, and proceed accordingly.

Thanks for posting;
Doug

Just poked around the interweb, and there are many postings about this particular redirect cropping up.  No reports of malicious activity associated, but it has been speculated that it is Adsense related.  Ad blocking seems to resolve the issue, so I would still recommend my above advise.  DS

Hi John, and yeah what Amy said above..... I assume that you are using the linkesoft application, and I have absolutely no idea what they intended with that one (and no help on the homepage either???).

The good news is (on the other hand) your "My Songbook" on Chordie is available anywhere you go that has WiFi access on whatever device you happen to have.

The other way is to access the music here on Chordie and choose "print to file" in your printer options and save the tune as PDF.  Those you can then put all in one folder in your "my documents or my music" directory, available to use even if there is no internet access.  OR.... like some of us, print a hard copy and stick it in a binder (my preference and it needs no electrons & fits better on a music stand!).

Howdy Bill,

You might check out this chart:   http://www.don-guitar.com/transpose.html

One of many out there....  as for the simple version, a capo is generally used to change the key signature of the tune to better suit your voice.  It requires a little experimentation to find where it works for you.... but usually once you find your "spot" it will hold true for almost anything.      Handy hint:
Capo on 2 to put your guitar in alignment with piano sheet music.

The main reason I have one clamped on my guitar is to get around some of the more difficult chord fingerings that my gnarled old fingers don't like to do as well anymore..... not to mention that my natural key vocally is Bb, so I capo on 1 quite a bit.  Songs that are listed as being scored "con Capo"  will usually be annotated in the header, and a good example would be Landslide which I believe was Capo'd on 3 .

Hope that helps;
Doug

I was wondering about that as well, so I went here....
http://bigrockeng.com/powerpinassemblypage.html 
and took a look at the illustrations.  One would think that the "clamping" effect of the hardware would serve to laminate the layers together better than the original glue bond.  As for the angle, it looks like it would not change much as it stays fairly close to what it would be if the bridge was unchanged (only a mm or so higher than the factory exit).

What think ye Roger?  You've been doing Lutherie for awhile.

Thanks for checking back in Ali with additional information.  I doubt that starting another account (or modifying your current one) would cure anything, you would likely have to change to a different e-mail as well because the two are linked here on Chordie.  That said, I will do a little research on the software you have in use, (android of some flavor... taffy, popcorn, cotton-candy, jelly-bean or whatever. I use Linux and they too like silly names like: precocious penguin, natty narwhal, etc.) and see if I can suss out what browser they actually bundled in there.  We'll see if there is a simple work-around to get the darn ads from eating up your valuable screen space so you can better use it.

I may be contacting you personally for additional info if that is acceptable, and when we get it figured out, post our best result here for the benefit of others.

Cheers;
Doug

Tom, if you have ad block added to your browser, you would just click on the icon (upper right side of the toolbar in Firefox) and it should open up a menu listing all the items that are running and blocked.  You just scroll down the list and find the one you want to allow and choose disable for this item always.  Usually if there is a conflict, your streaming application will give you a warning advisory that you should disable ad blocking to view content, and you can do it at that time..... saves a bit of sorting on your part.

Greetings Chordians!  We had another thread awhile back addressing this (problem?) further down the section.  The culprits are Google Adsense, Google Analytics, and Quantcast..... not a Chordie issue, but easily overcome by adding the Ad Block Plus plugin to your browser.  I use it and Ghostery, as well as deleting cookies on closing the browser.  No ads no pop-ups and everything displays just as intended.

Some members are using different add ons that get the same end result, so you might want to scroll down the About Chordie section and scan the posts from earlier. 

BJ;  Your comment about Netflix may have some weight, if you commonly watch Hulu or other streaming entertainment that is ad supported, you have to "allow ad-blocking exceptions" for that site (and you can specify, so it just doesn't turn it off for everybody).  That's how they support the service and without allowing the ads, you don't get to have the content. 

Keep us posted & be safe out there;
Doug

I noticed your short visit early this morning Grah..... We were a little concerned that you might have been on that Ferry that had the problem, but slept better knowing that you were somewhere near the internet.

Enjoy your visit home, & Take Care;
Doug

More info please... or maybe I'm not understanding your question.  I gather that you requested a temporary password, likely because you forgot your original one, and there is some function that you are not able to access (although you have access because you are able to post to the forum).

Once you accessed your account with the temp password, did you set a new one?  Is it that you cannot access your songbook?  More data would be helpful in helping us help you.

Thanks;
Doug

Happy Holidays one and all!

Looking forward to a good new year also hanging out with the Chordie Family!

Best Wishes;
Doug and the Smith Clan
