To be frank, complaining that you can't get to content that other people have spent time and money to obtain (not to mention the risks of being caught taping a show) is a bit churlish. You're not entitled to any of it. And there are good reasons for hiding it from the casual internet browser.Gethz wrote: ↑30 May 2022, 16:11 Annoys me this, been a member since god knows when, proudly sport my Heartland Forum t-shirt, purchased the Waiting For Another War book etc etc etc, met many of you at various gigs, but because of a few idiots and that I refuse to post "I agree" or similar on varous threads I can't access the new recordings.
Would be good if you could change the settings to either post count or membership duration....
What are the best available versions of the new songs?

You reap what you sow. Play an active part in the forum and you eventually get the goodies and for free. Seems a good deal to me and only fair.

Also characterising taking an active role on the board as 'post[ing] "I agree" or similar on varous threads' is a dismissive attitude that's hardly likely to win you any friends.
We did use to have a more permissive attitude towards the sharing section, but due to an increasing number of people lifting recordings wholesale and selling them on, a number of tapers simply stopped making their recordings available. That's the alternative. Either we make it a little harder to get to the recordings, or nobody gets them at all.

I also think that you shouldn't be feeling penalized for this. Access to the Sharing section is a bonus, and by choosing to not enable that bonus for yourself, you've made your own informed decision and nothing is being taken away from you.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
