Re: Can't get into the forum...

It's a frustrating bug in the current version of phpBB. I've tried to fix it myself, but haven't had the time to really sort it out. I'm totally up-to-date with phpBB software, and the server versions of php, mysql, etc. As Chris said, it happens when typing non-standard qwerty characters like accen...

Server upgrades, forum troubles

Sorry for the downtime today. There was a big server upgrade which didn't go as smoothly as hoped.
Still seeing some warnings here. I'll try to take care of it Monday.

Seeing your guitar stuff, I thought that you weren't involved in synth development anymore.
Yes, I still devote the majority of my time every day to synth development for Korg.
All the guitar stuff is what I do in my scarce free time. :)

Re: Korg KRONOS Workstation

The Jordan Rudess Kronos demo was excellent. Here's a video I made of the demo (Greg was standing right next to me!) :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG7Ddzo7k80 He's quite an amazing player- it was awesome to see/hear him playing an instrument I helped make! I wish the sound on the video could've...

Getting on a plane right now. I won't have internet access down there, but I'll be around the Korg booth a lot.

If you see me, come say hi! Hope to see you there,

Database restore - some messages lost from today

Hi guys, I must apologize - I made a mistake while administering the board today and inadvertently deleted some user data. Doh!! I was forced to do a restore to last night's backup (2010-06-30 at 2:35am). Unfortunately, any new data (including posts, private messages, profile changes, etc) since the...

Re: Spammers...Arragh!

For some reason, after several months of relative tranquility, we've have a wave of new spammers this last week.
Just let me know by private msg if i miss one and I'll delete them.

Time for some new counter measures I guess :)

Wow. Never heard of this before:

These sound a bit different from what you're describing, but maybe the mechanism is similar.

I'm glad you and your family and friends are ok - I know you all must have such heavy sorrow for your countrymen and your country. Hard times ahead- keep strong! Let us know...
