Hi there,

Glad you like the new features. We will explain them in detail when we have a bit more time. The edit time for forum and activity stream posts is set to 7 days at the moment. I can make it longer but there is this problem that sometimes the replies don’t make sense anymore when the original post has changed too much.

The colored spots on the map are spots with higher density of members. If you click on them it zooms in and then you see the individual members.

Hi Christopher,
Yes the membership should renew automatically as long as the original payment method is still valid. And I must say supporting the girls and working for our little groovy community is a lot of fun too 😉

[Rudolf Wagner]

As it turned out it was only partially a server problem but mainly a DDos attack. Fortunately we could handle both and the site is back to speed now. The DDos attack is still going but since we blocked the most important IPs and installed some firewall defense it doesn’t have much impact anymore.

[Rudolf Wagner]

This was probably a temporary glitch. We currently work a lot on the website to make it faster and also to provide some innovative community features. But it still needs a lot of testing before we can release it. Most of it can be done on a test site but at some point we have to implement it on the real website and then anything that can go wrong usually does 😉

Hi Daryl,

Do you mean that button?
I have been searching for it myself in the new layout and though it is that big it is kind of unusual.

[Rudolf Wagner]

Membership labels should be correct now

[Rudolf Wagner]

Thanks for reporting these quirks. We are having a completely new basis of this website that is a lot faster but as with everything new there is still a lot not working yet.
We’ll look into it as soon as possible.

I forgot to also enable the menu for the new yearly plan. It should work now.

[Rudolf Wagner]

Thanks for reporting.

In case anyone is interested what happened I’ll give a short explanation:

In order to allow instant downloading of the MLT music archive for members who took the yearly membership I had to create a whole new membership plan. I forgot to enable the orange membership menu for that plan though. That’s why it didn’t appear for yearly members.

After enabling the menu for the new plan it should work now.

[Rudolf Wagner]

I knew I would gonna break something 🙂
I’ll have a look and will report back.

[Rudolf Wagner]

I hope I got the settings right now without breaking something else. Will watch it for a while but it should work now as intended in that all yearly members can now download immediately after subscribing.

[Rudolf Wagner]

We just fixed a bug where the whole menu was missing on mobiles due to an update on the website. Maybe that was causing the login problem? Is it working now?

[Rudolf Wagner]

You’re right. Did not think about that. I hope I can set that accordingly in the software.

Hi Howard,

Sorry to hear about login problems. Could you please give me a bit more info to recreate the problem like on what device, what exactly happens and maybe error messages?

Right now I don’t have an idea how to tackle that issue because I can neither reproduce it nor did I get similar messages from somebody else.

You can pause (suspend) and reactivate your membership yourself anytime you want on your profile. You access your profile by clicking on your name or your avatar in the upper right corner, then on “shop” and then on “membership“.

Hi Maureen,

Thank you for your patience. We had the problem of our server getting slower and slower. It took as a few days to find out what the real problem was. While we are so glad we found it we also had the problem having to change a lot on our website to get rid of it.

Because of the release of our album we had lots of visitors on our website and we had to decide fast. We went all in for the new solution that made the website fast again but is a completely different system.

So I want to let you know that we still have to reconfigure a lot. Also the navigation because we use a completely new theme that will offer a lot more options in the future but has a quite different approach in some areas.

Hopefully you will see the website improve bit by bit over the next days and weeks.
