accessible. The ability to reply or post new topics will be turned
off by Michael at a point in the near future.
We considered trying to do some sort of "import" but it was too
complex.

What happens to the wealth of information that was posted on Google Groups? Where does it go, or does it? It sure would be a shame to lose it all.

confirmation to come through on the email. I am wondering though whats
going to happen to all the information we already have on this site?
If we are going to lose it all I will start trying to move as much as
I can to the new site.

Hopefully I didn't break the rules already. lol
Did I say Tim Hines was involved back on Nov 23? Yes I did. Did I
say there would be a new solution to the backing track issue? Yes I
did!

click on "What's New?" in the top red bar to the right of "Blogs" to
see all the recent posts, scan through them and get involved in that
particular thread (it will take you to that thread within the forum.
Then just hit What's New to go back to the list.
Under "Form" in the red par there is a sub link in black below the red
bar titled "New Posts" which I think does the same thing.
So you can either go right to a particular forum or subforum and post/
reply or you can go to New Posts or What's New and see all the latest
post.
PLEASE USE TAGS when you post!!!!!!

Any idea why the time stamps are all wrong? They seem to be incorrect for everyone. I chose the correct time zone and even my short blog post had the incorrect timestamp.

while I haven't been very active in this group so far, I've been
following it since about half a year, especially on the HD500 stuff.
Professionally, I'm a consultant who works with these kinds of
collaboration technologies so I know the amount of the work that has
gone into that project, well done !
I'm willing to transfer the most relevant HD500 info into the
different new forums you have set up since there is A LOT of info
available. Is that OK? (makes it easier to search if you have it in
the new structure). I'll just run a search on POD HD and see what
settings and discussions I can summarize and transfer. (I'll add
references to those that have posted the info originally to have some
kind of trace)
just let me know... Maybe others can follow up on specific AxeFX or
other gear discussions. U2GT is quite an investment from your side so
I'm happy to give something in return. I'm sure there are a lot of
members who'd like to do that.
rgds,
Stijn.

a word of caution, and I may be missing what you describe as
relevant. There are literally hundreds of POD HD U2 Patches in Line 6
and strewn through various forums. I have spent quite some time
picking through a lot of these only to find out that most are way off
the mark (to the point you wonder if the Author has even heard of
U2).
IMO It would be better on the new Forum to have a repository of vetted
patches/tone/delay settings for various equipment etc. At least that
way you know you're getting the right ball park information. My fear
is you end up with a repository that is 90% duff, 10% good and you
waste days trying to find the good stuff.
It's just a thought..

new forum structure and then limited to POD HD stuff so I think it's
something I can still manage :-). I won't generate new info but it
would be very convenient to be able to search for it (and continue the
discussions) if the info is in one place.
I'll look into it tomorrow.

I have to give Jonathan Farmer and others credit for telling me I should have never started U2GT on Yahoo Groups (before we moved to Google Groups). We eventually moved to Google Groups which was a modest improvement, but it's not a platform Google has invested in and lacks many features/functions.With so much incredible support and feedback from so many people all over the world over the years, I have always wanted to provide a better platform for those focused on learning how to play U2 songs. I considered starting a more robust forum, but didn't have the time to build/configure one. But then Tim Hines (a U2GT member in the UK) emailed me after reading the thread a couple months ago that discussed how to handle the backtracks, and he asked if I ever thought about a better forum platform. I replied that I had, but didn't have the expertise or time. Tim recommended a few solutions and offered to help, thus motivating me to finally take the next step. I chose vBulletin (same company that Fractal Audio uses for their forum), bought a license to the entire suite (forum, content mgmt and blogs) and, after a couple months of hard work, we are unveiling the new U2 Guitar Tutorials Forum & Blog!
PLEASE, after you stop screaming, yelling, crying tears of joy, and jumping around like a total maniac, READ THE 10 BULLETS BELOW before you go to the link below and register:
1) EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN BLOG PAGE!! You are welcome to post anything about U2 on your blog; however, please keep all forum threads (non-blog) discussions focused on learning U2 songs (tech, tones and tunes). We have created a specific thread structure to support the main theme. There is also a "cafe" for off topic discussions. Do NOT use blogs to discuss non-U2 topics (e.g., politics, religion, economics, etc.). Administrators reserve the right to delete any blog posts.2) Please take a few minutes to read the forum etiquette and rules page right after you register. Seriously, please do read them so we don't have to remove posts or members!
3) PLEASE use tags when publishing your blogs and posting comments. Note the Tag Cloud on a few pages in the sidebars. The most prevalent tags used throughout the platform are in larger fonts in the tag cloud. This is a great feature that makes it easy to focus on the most popular topics. Click on a tag in the tag cloud and you will get every post with that tag. So if everyone uses tags, it makes it easier for everyone else to search. We all have to add tags to the content to make the cloud useful. PLEASE contribute to this effort! The tag cloud doesn't currently generate many search results because there is no content yet.4) SEARCH FOR THREADS ON YOUR TOPIC BEFORE CREATING A NEW THREAD. DON'T BE LAZY! We invested a lot of time to create the thread structure, but we also tried to keep it flexible so that everyone can post new discussions. Someone may have already asked your question and there may be a thread on the topic. Do an advanced search or use the tag cloud. Try to add to existing threads. If you are only looking to respond to questions and review latest topics (similar to the Google Groups forum), just go to one of the links that shows you the most recent posts: "What's New?" or "Today's Posts". You will see all the recents posts at these links from across all threads. If you regularly use the "What's New" or "Today's Posts" functions, then make sure you understand which thread you are replying to. Don't hijack a thread and change the topic. The administrators have the right to delete or move your new thread WITHOUT WARNING if we are sure the topic already exists. The more organized the forum, the better it will be for everyone.5) Please post all topics related to a particular song in one of the sub-forums under each song name. If you want to ask about a delay setting or what gear to use for a song, go to that particular song's forums. But if you want to talk about gear in general (e.g., what delay is better?, how does the analog delay sound on the Axe?, what do you think of this new delay? etc.), then go to the other general forums. Don't ask about Street's delay setting under Pride and don't ask about what gear is used for Pride in the general forum, etc. Again, administrators have the right to move or delete your post if you are lazy and hi-jack threads or post in the wrong area.6) Any email address will be accepted as a member; however, the administrators maintain the right to restrict or ban anyone at anytime (we don't expect this to happen of course, but we need to maintain this right since we have no idea who will be registering over time).7) We will be closing U2_Guitar_Tutorials on Google Groups in the next few days. Please move all your discussions to the new forum starting immediately.8) Post constructive feedback, bugs and suggestions regarding the forum itself in the appropriate thread that we set up for this purpose.9) I would like to acknowledge David Nia again for building the original www.u2guitartutorials.com website for no monetary compensation and also contributing to the backtrack solution that has been included in the new forum (you won't see the non-public thread unless you are a registered member). The backtrack solution is experimental and we reserve the right to change or remove it at any time. You will need a password to access the backtracks. The password will be changed on occasion. Please DO NOT share the password publicly. Please NO NOT post the password on any threads in the forum. Please DO NOT ask for the password on a public thread. Contact an administrator for the password.10) Last but not least, please thank Tim Hines from the UK for spending many hours helping me build and configure this new forum for no monetary compensation (he built out most of the thread structure). Tim contributed his time for the same reason we spend so much time on this forum: the passion for understanding and experiencing Edge's music.
