OK, this is a semi-educated guess as to how to fix your problem, Kosmogony. Click on the logo with four squares at the top-right of the page. Right-click the 'Sign Out Kosmogony' button and select your browser's equivalent of 'Copy Link Location'. Paste it somewhere. It should end with: k=somelonghexadecimalnumber Copy the long hexadecimal number and paste it over the appropriate part of the following address: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?&k=somelonghexadecimalnumber&settingNewSkin=1 Then go to the address. Let me know whether that worked.

It appears that the 'Change Theme' button on the mobile site no longer works - I've just tried using it on both FF and IE (e: and Safari for iOS). In the unlikely event you still have a tab with the default theme accessible from your browsing history (e.g. in your recently closed tabs or the back button) you may be able to find a page with the default theme - you can select the default theme from such a page and that will fix the problem. I'll draw this to the attention of the admins and see if I can't think up a better solution.

Welcome, and thanks for reviewing.

No idea, but I've already proposed a bunch of possible replacements for the old dark themes. Hopefully the admins will find time to sort something out soon.

When they do, they get called out for it. Books and films are a different kettle of fish altogether, because they're largely single-use media: by the time you know whether you like a film or book, you've made as much use of it as you're ever likely to make, and that's why reviews of books and films are more important. This is different from music which people listen to over and over again. That's not to say there aren't e.g. films that I've watched multiple times, but they're the exception rather than the rule. As for mainstream music, it's true that there are many paid reviewers willing to write scathing reviews of the latest Justin Bieber album, but I just don't believe that those reviews actually inform people's purchases to a significant extent. They surely didn't inform mine back when I was into pop music (I used to read the NME's reviews for the sole purpose of getting indignant at how full of shit that magazine was). People like reading snarky takedowns of things they already hate, and that's the principal reason why people get paid to write that stuff. Don't worry, that's just the forum software being crap. Sometimes view counts don't get updated until someone replies to a thread, no matter how many times the thread is viewed. Yes, exactly. (Though Infected Mushroom do IMO provide an example where negative reviews are useful - I loved their first four albums so much that I bought IM the Supervisor without checking out the samples first. But cases like that where an artist drastically changes their style in a way that alienates much of their former fanbase are rare.)

This is silly. Even if people are less likely to bother writing negative reviews of albums they don't like than positive reviews of albums they do like, nobody here is writing positive reviews of albums they don't like. If a reviewer praises an album he does so because he likes it, whether or not you consider it "clearly bad". Having people write more negative reviews wouldn't magically make every reviewer's taste coincide with yours. They are being honest.

"Internet Exploder cannot display the webpage" I have version 9.0.8112.16421 (which I had to copy by hand, since IE's "About" dialog wouldn't let me highlight text. IE IS FUCKING TERRIBLE).

Although I haven't written a review in a while, the reviews I've written have all been reasonably positive. The reason for that is largely because, with four minute samples on Saiko Sounds and often whole tracks available to listen to on SC and YT, I seldom buy albums I dislike. And even on the few occasions I have done, writing reviews takes me a lot of time and I'd much rather spend that time trying to spread the word about a great album that people could have missed than pasting work by someone who put a lot of BS&T into it and that many people other than me will probably enjoy.

Should be ok now. I tested it. The Limed Out theme no longer appears to exist.

In short, it happens because repetition of a particular waveform at a constant interval is what pitch is. For a more detailed explanation, any shape of wave that repeats with a frequency f can be represented (with the difference between the representation and the original too small to for the human ear to discern) as a finite sum of sine waves whose frequencies are whole-number multiples of f. In particular if you're repeating a kick sound with a frequency of 38.9 Hz then one of those sine waves will be at 38.9*2 = 77.8 Hz which is an audible E flat. In fact I just tried repeating a kick at that frequency, and its spectrum has its loudest point at 77.8 Hz. Here's part of that spectrum: The peaks are all at multiples of 38.9 Hz. The second and highest peak is the one at 77.8 Hz, so the ear hears an E flat. The additional peaks at higher frequencies are interpreted by the ear as changing the timbre of the sound from a pure-sounding sine wave to an unpleasant buzzing sound. As for how to avoid this, I'm no expert but I don't see how such a thing would be possible. As the delay between instances becomes short enough, the brain stops interpreting it as a sound being repeated multiple times and starts interpreting it as a single sound with a pitch. Here's an example I just made. The click is exactly the same each time, but once the frequency becomes audible it stops sounding like clicks and starts sounding like a buzzing noise (it happens about 7 seconds in for me).

Jolly good. In case you didn't notice my earlier post, the reason it didn't work in Ormion's quote has nothing to do with the SoundCloud player and everything to do with the rich text editor.

I'm also using FF, but the SoundCloud player in Veracohr's post works fine over here. It's possible that this has something to do with my having been ignoring requests to install Flash updates for a while. My flatmate says Flash has become unusable for him recently.

So can I, in Veracohr's post - but in your post, in the part where you quote Veracohr, it doesn't work. Upon looking at the quoted material in your post (by using the 'Edit' button), it appears that his original post has code of the form [sc]soundcloud url[/sc] but in the quote this has been replaced by [sc][url="soundcloud url]soundcloud url[/url][/sc] THANKS FOR THAT, RICH TEXT EDITOR!

BTW, the 'adjust crop' feature in the avatar editor no longer works.

Also, in the Limed Out theme the various thread icons (hot topic, you posted in this thread etc.) are missing. e: Also the 'forum contains new posts' etc. icons.

Yep, someone robbed my tent while I was sleeping in it. I woke up to find my stuff strewn around the place and my wallet emptied of cash.

Is it real? Where is it?

I went to Glade, it was great (apart from being robbed).

Ordared: Two copies of the last one - one for me and one for my flatmate.

Same comment from me as the last one - it needs a climax.

Unique style, I like it!

Abasio. I think he's too busy with work to be online much at the moment, though.
