That is strange.
Please tell me what browser you are using.
Could you also try explaining the procedure for recreating this error? Like "I go to www.chordie.com. Then I search for 'myartist'. Then I click on the first song named ..." etc

Re: Problem with alphabetical listing of songs (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
If you get to Chordie from for instance Google, you might get to songs with lower rating. However, coming to a song from browsing through songs/artsts or through internal search, should get you to the best version.
If this does not work, please tell me.
Suggestions on how to make the feature easier to use, is very welcome.

Topic: New version - and what it really means (6 replies, posted in About Chordie)
About a month ago the "new" version of Chordie was launched. Not all features were available in the beginning, but gradually most of them has now been activated.
I thought it was time to explain a bit about what they really mean to the users.
The change is really fundamental but apart from the number of songs being tripled, the changes might be a bit hard to notice for regular users. The big change is that Chordie is now totally "dynamic".
In the previous version all updates were done manually, it was very time consuming and it could go several months between each upgrade. New songs are now being added dynamically, every single day. These additions can be viewed here: https://www.chordie.com/newadditions.php
You can still view "all versions" of a song, but you now also have a "preferred version" of any song. This means a lot less "clicking". It also means that it is easier for Chordie to grow without being "bloated".
The old Chordie did also have star-ratings. However, they had very little effect. This has changed. The user star rating is now essential to selecting the "best version" of a song. Here is how it works: Every song get an initial score based on a Chordie algorithm. This score only exists until it has user ratings. Every registered user have only one vote for a song. You can vote multiple times but it is your latest vote that counts. Non registered users have in reality only one vote.
Use the star-ratings relative to the other versions of a song. Dont give a song top rating because you like the song. Give the song rating if you think the transcription is good and accurate, and if you like it to be the "preferred version". Whenever a song is given 1-star, a note is sent to the administrator, and if multiple users do this on a song (and there are other versions available) the song will simple disappear from Chordie. Less versions to choose from. Some songs have 30+ versions, and it is really a good thing if some of them is removed.
Please use rating actively. It will improve Chordie.
Most of the dynamic features are instant. However some, like rebuilding the search index, the alphabetic lists, calculating final star score etc is done daily. The daily version of these will always be made available at 8AM CET.
A few things are left:
* The quality of the search should improve dramatically in the next days. Stay tuned.
* Users will be able to add new songs to the index directly. This includes an effective way of simply requesting any new songs. If it is on the Internet, it will be on Chordie.
* Better tools for adding own contributions.
* New songs will be available from the front page.
* People that use rating actively will get "bonuses". I have not decided what these bonuses might be. Please come with suggestions. However, you are already getting a point every time you rate a song.

Re: Possible site infection (16 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi Roger,
Really sorry to hear that. I can assure you that this is not intentional from my side. These kind of ads are not allowed on Chordie, but since I am using 3rd party services here, it might happen that such ads get through the filters.
It is however challenging to debug since it is not happening on my computer/iPad. Do you have the url for the ad? Depending on how it is displayed on the iPad, it might be possible to see the url. If I had that, it would be a lot easier for me to track this down.

Re: The perfect campfire guitar (49 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Thanks a lot for summing up, Amy.
To get the discussion rolling again, lets try to make it more targeted. Lets say - purely hypothetical - that Chordie was in the position of getting 100 custom made guitars from an high quality guitar manufacturer. Obviously there is no one-size-fits-all for guitars, but perhaps there are some designs or features that are better suited to, or more characteristic of, a specific theme or "purpose"? Lets say - still purely hypothetical - that the theme that was chosen was "campfire" and that the target price was sub-$500.
In other words - how should the specification for such a guitar be?

Re: The perfect campfire guitar (49 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Lets bring this back on track.
My apologies for giving you the wrong ideas here, and maybe overstating the campfire-aspect. Im not looking for a weird unorthodox traveller designs.
Try instead to imagine the perfect "second guitar" that you could play anywhere - sitting in on your couch at home, or at the beach with friends. Playing the kind of music you'll find in the "Campfire-song"-collection on Chordie. Not something that you have to be very afraid for getting small scratches in, but something with high quality and sound.
The race for t-shirts are still on....

Topic: The perfect campfire guitar (49 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I have a real challenge for you all!
I dont think there is such a thing as a perfect guitar, since the uses of the guitar is so varied. However, is the such a thing as a perfect special purpose guitar? Lets say a "campfire guitar". A guitar that you could bring with you and play about the bonfires at Chordiestock. It should of course be durable, and have good sound and playability.
In other words, if you had access to a high quality guitar manufacturer: what materials should be used (e,g, solid woods, laminate, mix) and which types of wood for the top, sides, back, and neck (fingerboard vs back); which body shape would you prefer (for a "campfire guitar") and how would you prefer it to sound (sound signature); any other preferences not covered here such as wood grain/finish, shape of headstock, style of tuners, materials for the bridge or nut, inlays, no inlays, dots, ornamentation (sound-hole rosette), scale length, fret to body. All suggestions are welcome!
Come with your suggestions, and I will send the new Chordie T-shirt (with the soon-to-be-released new Chordie logo) to the one having the best suggestions.
And... there needs to be some realism in the suggestions. Use materials/designs that would be reasonable to find in a sub-$1000 guitar.
