The new site - issues and the like

[HMXJohnlok]

Is it just me, or are half of the posts in this thread off topic?

With respect to the site, I saw a post from someone at Harmonix saying that removing deleted bands from the site would be a problem because it would mess up rankings. I don't see how that would be the problem in the case of band members because all of those rankings are grouped by username, so I'm wondering if we could get deleted band members removed from our profiles at some point in the near future.

I imagine at some point people will be concerned about their BF/GF looking at their profiles online and asking "Who is this girl Lisa and why does she have $1,000,000?" about an ex's character or something.

Lastly, was anything significant (features-wise) changed during today's downtime?

I should probably check with the web-team, but a few obvious things:
-Polling support (check http://www.rockband.com/rockers_home)
-Side leaderboard
-Skins (Edit Settings in your profile)

Also there were a few bug fixes, some maintenance and stuff like that.

I keep gettign the following error when I try to login with my EA ID to get a guitar replacement.

"The following Error(s) occurred:

The token couldn't be resolved. Please contact your system admin. details of the error: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset"

I have no idea what's causing it, and it's getting very frustrating

The new site setup is GREAT! but....
The leaderboard on the right hand side shows the bands by total score. Thats just a stat that shows who plays the game more.
I would like to see top bands by the number of fans they have. I wont be on the list any time soon but it seems like a better way to compare bands to me.

Better yet if you could show both kinds of top scores (to boxes; by number of fans and the other by total score) that would be amazing.

Anyway... Great work on the site and keep it up.

No offense JR, but are you friggin' serious? Or at least joking, right? Total fans obviously means you play more/have the time to hit up gig after gig. Total score means your band is the best of the best, when it comes to acing songs. This may require you to "play more" in the long run, but it's far more impressive than fans. I like the leaderboards the way they are; they sum up which bands have more skill than others... not which bands get more DVD offers, in-game, and have the time to play every gig.

*edit*

Thought about it, and I guess you have somewhat of a point, JR. It's pretty dumb that a 02-man band [let's say, guitar and bass] can dual-FC Green Grass & High Tides, yet not even show up on the leaderboards if a 04-man band fumbles through it. There should be a section for score and fans, definitely. Or separate boards for 02 person bands, 03 persons bands, etc.

Hi everyone!

Voodoo:
Try to remove your Temporary Internet Files, this should remove the problem. If you don't know how, check in your Browser Options of in the Help file.

For the Hamonix Team (or anybody who have the answer):
Back when you announced the community, there were speakings of a fuction where you could download a character of the game to make images files and products using theses images on the RockBand Forum and the RockBand Store. Is this fuctions is still work in progress or it's cancelled or simply never existed and that I'm turning crazy? Also, maybe the Interview has been mistranslated because I remembered reading it in French.

Thanks Harmonix for the greatest music games (KR, RB, GH and Phase) and the greatest community website on the Web!

Hi!

Is anyone else getting Gateway timeout errors when uploading pictures? I tried to upload an avatar (36k) and a picture to the rocker profile and both times got Gateway errors. Now, instead of the default pic, there's a X where the image cannot be displayed.

Thanks
Ian

Will we ever get ride of the skull (formerly cobra) and be able to have our band logos on the site? It's no big hinerance, but it'd be cool, since you guys already decided to put the feature in. Why not utilize it, right?

Also - do not type the word Google into Google or you can literally break the internet.

I did, whatcha gonn' do about it?
