Improved error reporting

2008/12/16 | Posted under: Tech stuff

In some rare cases, when user interaction went unexpectedly wrong, our server used to return you weird messages that didn’t really tell you much … Well, we have improved that aspect of our website and we hope you will overcome all potential inconveniences easier now.

Have fun!

Bug-hunt still in progress

2008/12/12 | Posted under: Tech stuff

We have found and removed a couple of bugs that made the user-experience a little bit confusing from time to time, e.g. when commenting on someone’s performance. Besides that, we are thinking quite a lot about exciting new features for YourChords.com. Stay tuned! :)

Algorithm for finding chords in text …

2008/12/08 | Posted under: Tech stuff

Once again it’s time for a little bit more technical post … ;)

You have probably noticed that from time to time you come across a song that has got some chords which don’t show you the pop-up diagram, when you put your mouse over it. Well, it’s what we call “chords detection flaw” and we are working on our algorithm to make those troubles go away …

We hope we will be able to make things better in the next couple of days! :D

Have fun!

More lessons in our Guitar Course

2008/12/04 | Posted under: Infos

Our Free Guitar Course will soon get better than it currently is - we will be hopefully adding quite a few lessons, created with a help by some professional guitar players. Stay tuned! :)

The Happy December is here!

2008/12/01 | Posted under: Infos

Hooray, the merriest time of the Year has arrived. :D Is it just me or is everybody feeling somehow different today? Anyhow, let me start this holiday atmosphere by wishing you all the best in your lives, whoever you are and whatever you do.

Love,

YourChords.com Team

The forum is up

2008/11/27 | Posted under: Infos

Yes, the YourChords.com Guitar Forum has been running for approximately a week now and there are some interesting debates starting already. :) You can always start using the forum with the same username that you have registered at YourChords.com main website - and you can begin with writing a little something about yourself in this thread.

Have fun!

List of supported browsers

2008/11/23 | Posted under: Tech stuff

This post is going to be a little bit more technical once again … :)

You see, the program that you use to browse the web is called “internet browser”. There are a lot of different options out there and practically each of them displays websites a little bit differently. So, what we have to do here at YourChords.com is make sure that our website works perfectly in the browser you are using.

We have tested YourChords.com on:
- Mozilla Firefox 3 (we personally recommend you use this one, click here for free download)
- Mozilla Firefox 2
- Opera 9.6
- Google Chrome
- Safari
- Internet Explorer 7
- Internet Explorer 6

This should cover about 98% of our users. We are always working hard on improving your experience! :D

Have fun!

What you’ve been playin’ …

2008/11/19 | Posted under: Tech stuff

We are thinking about the possibility to keep track of the songs you have recently played. That list of recently played songs would be visible only to you and would really help you find the desired song faster if you have played it before.

Of course every user would be totally anonymous and those lists would be there only to help you. Just a thought. :)

New layout on the first page

2008/11/15 | Posted under: Infos

We’ve come to realize that maybe the most visited songs with chords are a bit more relevant to what you might be looking for than the recently played chords. With that in mind, we have reduced the lists of recently played chords and top performances on the first page and we have extended the list of top chords by 50%.

Keep in mind, if you click on “Show more”, you will be shown 50 top songs with chords and tabs!

How about a forum?

2008/11/11 | Posted under: Infos

Yes, we will probably be adding an integrated forum (also known as a board) to YourChords.com. This way you will have an opportunity to really get to know each other and to share your guitar-related and everything-else-related wisdom. :D

YourChords.com is visited by more than 100′000 different people every month, so we think we really should give you a chance to get to know each other, since you clearly share some common interests. :)

We will see how that goes. Have fun playing your guitars!
