Pardonay moi if this isn't the place to ask... but who is the bearded Nodding Guy in GuilliameB's animated GIF?
Been meaning to ask for months.
I get that its just one of the long line of post-battle heroes going "Hey... you're alright. We're cool. Everything's going to be fine as long as we got each other, my friend & brother" etc. (Like at the end of Star Wars for instance.)

Is it possible to start an advanced search? For example to search only topic titles, that sort of thing.

Hi chaps - point of order here...

I seem to be noticing this more and more but it does appear as though we are going off-topic a lot in the forum at the moment. So for example in a thread about new product launches we start ranting about AIR. Another thread about sound quality turns into a discussion about upgrade costs, when there is a  separate thread about upgrades etc etc.

I don't want to point fingers at anyone, after all I have been known to do this myself, but how about we all become a bit more aware of this?!  

One of the reasons this forum works so well is that it largely moderates itself, in 2 years or so of operation I have only had to lock a thread once! Pretty amazing if you think about it.

We had a user request to delete their posts/threads and user account. As a result, unfortunately 4 threads started by that user in which others posted replies are now deleted. These are the threads.

SAM Damaged speakers
D200 three red lights
Spdif Coax cable/ audio dropout
Just bought a Devialet 200

Many apologies for those who contributed to the threads and also who replied to posts in other threads. This was a difficult decision to make.

Seems like a pretty cool site and a possible substitute/addition to HD Tracks.  Really eclectic selection and a godsend for those who suffer from HDTrack region restriction desease.

When you press "mark this forum read" you wind up in the same section as before. 
Wouldn't it be handier to go up one level as you prolly wanna go to another section?

This morning, when trying to access this site, my browser pop up with a Dell logo and stating the site has been blocked by network administrator. I wonder it is blocked by the Chinese famed "Great Wall firewall" or just a hitch on the service provider.

I have to use VPN to access the site now.

The on-going debacle at the 'wam reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask for a while, which is:

It must cost something to host and run the forum, and I don't see any advertisements or other means by which it raises income.  So I assume it's the personal generosity of Guillaume and/or Rufus and/or Martyn that funds it.

If that's the case, firstly: thank you, and secondly: is there a way that members can make a contribution towards the running costs?  I for one would be very pleased to do so.

(I don't want to pry unduly so if this isn't an appropriate topic for discussion, sorry for the noise and please feel free to nuke this post!)

Congratulations to Guillaume, and Rufus and Martyn, for making this such a well read and participative place.

Hello,

On Monday 11th April 0900 we are moving the forum over to a new server including the database.

We are hoping this is all done and dusted within 15 minutes but there could be potentially longer downtime.

If this is the case we'll be updating our twitter account twitter.com/devialetchat

Moving to a new server will enable us to scale more effectively.

Any questions let me know.

Martyn
