My comment to the People Behind The Music disappeared also so I reposted same comment today but alternate member name still used. I figured it was a site development thing and our user names needed to be different for that reason.

There's a bug about I posted on the "William" blog and while I was looking at it, my comment and the one already there, disappeared. I thought the comment was from you. So I posted again "there's a bug" and then in a second comment, reposted my first comment. When I reloaded, the original comments loaded, at least my original comment plus one from haresfur. ANYWAY now I went back in and there's a comment from a Jeff guy who seems like might be related to you, and my original two comments, one about William and one about "there's a bug." So are there 2 or 3 databases being created/accessed randomly?

When switching topics in the new forum, it loads with the same page spacing. If I had scrolled halfway down a thread, the new thread loads halfway down and you have to scroll up for new posts. Windows/chrome.

cannot scroll (further down) into the past on the forum. chrome, win10.  like 20 posts and that's all i get on any thread.

Windows 10 Pro and Chrome.

If you shrink the window width to one column, "more info..." under the artist does not give more information. Stretching to 2 columns will show the info.

The song comments won't/haven't allowed youtube embeds for years. They get stripped out. You can link to the youtube page, yes.

Oh dear. Have I been committing Song Comment Faux Pas? I'll stop the YouTube embeds.

Is it OK if we post YouTube and Twitter links as an alternative? 

OK Think I found a bug. 
SPECIFICS: iPad Air4
IOS  15.6.4
When playing the music I hit the preferences image (spokes) which brings up the quality of sound, audio settings. I have mine set at high, but when I selected the medium and then the high I got a half second overlap of the music for each causing an echo chamber effect.
When I hit the pause it kept playing. Found out I had to go to each stream quality I selected and pause each one to stop the music.

I’m good at trouble shooting, Quality Assurance  and breaking things.   

New site is nice. I like the blog and new song writeup. I thought Rebecca sounded different on the station breaks, and now I know why. A pleasure to meet you,  Alanna. I am on the mobile site now, so I'll let yinz finish tweaking the interface before commenting. Tho does look nice. The font works well, too

Congrats on a job well done.

You are more than welcome!

Did you consider Discourse, instead of Discord, as well? - I wonder...

Second time I used the legacy site link.

Thanks for your kind words :-)

I know that things online have evolved away from early-2000s-style forums like this one. We've considered the idea of a Discord server, and may go that route. But no worries, Forum Friends, we'll maintain this forum as well if we do.

Is it possible that you hadn't refreshed that tab recently when you started the payment that failed? That should be fixed now.

I just tried the song comments post editor for the first time, and it definitely needs more than a little work. Minor stuff, but it looks really weird ATM.

Tried again.
First I said yes to accepting the credit card fee, but it didnt jump to paypal.
Tried again and said no to the the credit card fee, it did go to paypal and completed the payment.

I'd hoped you would have changed that (there have been many laments over the years on some shortcomings of this current forum-implementation). Although forums may seemingly be somewhat out-of-date, or merely used by old-timers (when compared to FB, Twitter and the like), there's still quite an active, growing branch of many forums, running on Discourse (Discourse-Home) integrating well without any hastle of pasting things from other media, visibly structured forum topics, uploads & like-buttons included in a fashionable way, and much more.

Come to think of it:
It could just be another way of attracting many more listeners!

Just mentioning, not knowing how hard this could have been at all for you folks, to integrate it into your website, but with Jarro as dev-head, it should be a breeze, me tends to think.

Just a friendly suggestion, not meaning to interfere with any of your plans, dear RP team!

So glad, you found a way to pass "it" (your legacy) on, @dear William (aka BillG),
and a BIG BIG BIG:

Welcome to Alanna & The New RP-Team!

Song comments ... still don't accept youtube embeds. If it's by design, fine, but it sure feels like a bug.
Song comments ... the popup box is many pixels high, but clicking in the comment area does nothing: you have to know to click in the white just below the toolbar. I had to go to HTML to figure that out.
