Chiff and Fipple Forums

Oh, you all wish.

(Seriously, see my latest post to the Announcements forum.)

The problem in which all users appeared as user "rich" has been fixed. I fat-fingered a manual database update earlier today and applied a change to all users which was meant to be applied just to me. I've restored the user information from last night's backup. If you've changed your passw...

For what it's worth, right now GBP 230 is worth about USD 440, which is $5 more than a <i>new</i> flute straight from Desi.

Using the web chat thingy? Should be fine now. Bill "mrbill" Bradford hosts that for me because the forum's current web host doesn't allow IRC-related anything. Occasionally he might do some work on the machine it's on; the chat is minor enough that unless it's big maintenance he usually w...

Does it have rings? Split or normal embouchure? Standard model, I guess (the R&R isn't a few years old, I don't think)?

I don't <i>need</i> another flute, but...

I've added a new feature to the forum's <a href="http://chiffboard.mati.ca/search.php">search page</a> -- you can now search the Chiff and Fipple forums with Google! This should improve on the built-in search feature's results by trying to calculate which URLs are most relevant instead of ...

Yeah, it's a con, and the hook is the "click the button below". If he was just sending you email, it wouldn't contain a button, right? So the button takes you to his phishy eBay lookalike which prompts you for your username and password and next thing you know he's got access to your accou...

This issue has been resolved.

Our hosting provider is having some hardware issues with one of their fileservers. While most of the forums are database-driven and will remain unaffected, any parts that rely on storing files on the server won't work until those issues are resolved. As best as I can tell, the areas affected are: av...

I've heard lots of second-hand horror stories about bilingual Quebecois, but having lived practically unilingually Anglophone in Montreal for seven years I view many of the stories with suspicion. In working-class French neighbourhoods in Montreal you might have a hard time finding someone who <i>sp...

I tried to figure out what you mean but no luck. What button where? (While posting or reading? What's the radio button labeled?)

Can't lose this one! I've moved it over to the pub.

Phew! I was wondering which forum this post would end up in ;) :lol: I think Rich only moved the OT posts that were honest enough to label themselves "OT". :wink: Hee, yes. That's exactly what I did! But I did scan through the subject lines of the 100 most recent posts that were and weren...

One thing to keep in mind is that there's two reasons for the forums to exist, really -- first, as a hangout for everyone who's here, and second, as a place for people who come across Chiff and Fipple to come and join in. Really? This surprises me, I thought it would be the other way around: Existi...
