Good to see we Boss geeks have found a new home. I'm not around much, but the various incarnations have proved to be a valuable asset over the years.

Hi everybody,
When I came back from my vacation, I read the sad news SBZ is closing down.
But I'm really glad DarrinPA started the BossAreaForum! Thanks!
I don't really post a lot but I do visit the forum a few times a week just to read the interesting posts.

Thanks for opening this forum.
I hope it will catch the spirit of SBZ. :)

Best Regards

Please feel free to lift anything that I've written on SBZ and copy it to this forum - the DD-3 repair notes, power supply notes, etc.

Or if you'd like me to do it I can then admin can make it sticky.

Quick tip for the new forum:

Once you are logged into the site once, bookmarking this link and using it to access the site will show you only threads with new posts since your last visit:
search.php?search_id=unreadposts


It differs just a bit from the same link you could use on the old forum (the F in "forum" is case sensitive on this new site)

It's a great way of keeping up on posts on a low traffic board like this. Thanks to Laurie for posting the URL for the old board a long time ago. All it takes to keep using it here is to adjust it as shown above.

For important things, copy it and feel free to make a new topic, just pm and I'll make it sticky. This goes for anybody here.


ALSO - I think this forum can really benefit from having photos to accompany your posts. The Boss Pedal Collection thread would be great to see.

If you guys don't know how, I can help you. If you email pics to me, I'll post them for you. (My email address is in my profile, just hover of "Send email to Admin", or PM me). If you want to text them to me, PM me and I'll give you number. I won't give out your info or bother you.

Hi DarrinPA,

Having an issue with a photograph I posted in Fernieite's "Vintage Amp" thread: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11

The image looks the correct way up when viewing the forum on my phone (iPhone running Safari browser) but is sideways on my PC using Chrome.

The image is the correct way up if I just post the image URL into Chrome on my PC.

Quite possibly an issue my end so would be interested to know how it appears to others.

It is sideways on Chrome on PC and Samsung Galaxy S8 as well as the Samsung Internat app. In other words, it always shows sideways on my devices.
