Tim, Gary

I too am glad to hear you've checked the site and that it's clean. I was afraid
that maybe I had infected the site as it was shortly after I had sent a survey
image upline to the site that the virus reared it's ugly head. I deleted the survey
and survey image shortly thereafter via another computer, but you never know and
it's good to know I didn't infect the site and that it's clean.  Lots more surveys
to come.  Cheers.

Tim, Gary, Ken and all

Thanks for your kind words the past couple of days and I'm certainly glad no one
else in the ARSA gang has had to deal with the FBI Virus as it's quite a pain. I've
been off site the last couple of days as the Best Buy Geek Squad has had our
computer to clean it up.  It appears that our Webroot Spyware failed us and left us
vulnerable to the FBI Virus which we contracted from some booby trapped website or
social media site. We're all cleaned up now and I plan to be back on site tomorrow
AM.  Cheers!

     - Lee   

 Thanks, Tim!  I suspected the site was clean but best to be 100% sure.  Keep the
surveys coming, guys!

Guys, I've done a cursory check of the site and I can assure you there are no
viruses or Trojan horses lurking.  The site is clean and free (knock on wood) of
viri.  If there were an intruder, it would be evident in the logs and file names
and mod dates.... everything is clean, so I think the virus you discovered was from
some other site.  While I may not spend a ton of time on this particular part of the
site, I can assure you las-solanas.com is clean.  Best regards. -- Tim

Hi Lee...

  That would have been a scary couple of minutes! Glad you didn't fall for the
scam...

  On a brighter note, I see you've finished up your '65 surveys, and are now into
'66.  I always look forward to seeing your contributions, and eagerly await the
charts of 1966!

  Cheers,

  - Kenn.

  

 Lee,

   Thanks for the heads-up - I hadn't heard of this one before.  Glad you were able
to remove it fairly easily and are back on ARSA.  Your contributions are always most
welcome and we very much appreciate & thank you for your efforts!

Please don't anyone think that I'm suggesting that ARSA is/was the culprit in my
contracting the FBI Virus yesterday or that ARSA is unsafe.  I'm back on Chart-Chat
and keying-in surveys today so I obviously feel that the site is safe and that it
was merely a coincidence that the event occurred while keying-in a survey
yesterday.  My intent was merely to give ARSA regulars a heads-up concerning the
FBI Virus if they are, like I was, not already familiar with it for it can be
somewhat alarming.  It was fairly easy (although it can be somewhat costly
depending on how infected your files are))to remove it.  ARSA is a great site and
will continue to be a large part of my daily activities although I may have to
rethink the websites I visit to download surveys/images, but I am in no way
suggesting that ARSA is unsafe.  

Cheers!    

Just a heads-ups for everyone.  In the middle of keying in a survey to the ARSA data
base yesterday afternoon, my computer locked up, displayed an FBI Badge along with
my photo from my webcam, and my user's IP address and username on the screen.  It
also contained a disclaimer that I had been blocked from the internet for viewing
or downloading illegal content like child porn or other taboo websites and that the
only way I could be granted access to the internet again was by paying $400 through
Green Dot MoneyPack.  I called the FBI as I was unaware of the FBI Virus Scam (I
guess it's been around awhile)and it was pretty scary stuff for a few minutes,
especially the webcam photo. I have since learned that most people contract this
virus from emails and different social media links as well as from websites that
are booby trapped.  I don't know if ARSA has been booby trapped, but this happened
while I was on ARSA so heads-up.  

Hi Frank..

  I get almost all of my charts from microfilmed newspapers.  If I can figure out
how to copy charts from microfilm (the library has a newfangled machine that might
just allow me to do that), I'll not only send you a copy of a CFMB chart, I'll
start posting the chart images here on ARSA!

  Cheers,

  - Kenn.


  

Kenn, would you possibly have an extra copy of ONE CFMB chart - from ANY WEEK (and
any condition) which you may be able to send me?  I could reciprocate by sending
you a few original charts from your chosen era(s) - if Fifties maybe five charts,
if 60s or later it will be 10 to 20 charts.  I may be able to conform to a region
if there's enough wiggle room for that.

I have no chart of any kind from CFMB in my collection.

  Wow...I didn't even realize we were close!  Great job, Ron, and everyone else who
contributed a survey!

I do believe that WKNR is complete from start to finish  it is missing pictures of
charts but I think every chart data has been posted

Need the Goerge Harrison single Love Comes To Everyone added.  thanks.

 Kenn,

   I added the US release of this on MGM 1092.

Hi Gary...

  The number 32 entry on this chart ("Jamais" by Connie Francis) needs to be
entered into the ARSA database.  I have info on the Canadian release: "Jamais (Your
Love) (La Paloma)" b/w "Celui Que Je Veux (Someone Else's Boy)" issued on MGM
Records, cat no LSF-51X.  And yup, the A-side title actually has *two*
parentheticals on the label!

  Cheers,

  - Kenn.

Hi Gary...

  Here's another one with quite a few "new to ARSA" singles and LPs.  As usual,
I'll hold off on any new entries until you've dealt with this one!

  Note that the single is position 6 ("People" by Mi-Sex) is currently misdirecting
to an incorrect release.

  
  Cheers,

  - Kenn.

Thanks Kenn and Cary.  Looks like the problem is on this end as I suspected it
probably was.  We've had some real internet issues here lately; we lost it for a
couple of days in April and most of the day earlier this week.  I've never been
thrilled with Century Link and if our house wasn't on the market, I'd switch our
internet provider immediately; I'll definitely use another provider after our
relocation.  I can live with the issue for now and maybe I'll switch to Chrome and
see if it goes away. Thanks again!!

    -Lee   

No problem here either and I do have Internet Explorer

I haven't had this problem -- the site has been loading and working perfectly for
me.  Note, though, that I don't use Internet Explorer. 

Cheers,

- Kenn.  

Hi all.  I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing what I'm about to describe or if
it's a recent anomaly with our network (we've had network issues recently).  When
I'm logged on and click on a survey image I'm contributing or one already in the
database, it is increasingly returning a blank page with blue spinning circle,
followed by the statement "A problem with this webpage has caused Internet Explorer
to close and reopen this page."  Additionally, it sometimes returns a statement "We
were unable to return you to las-solanas.com.  Internet Explorer has stopped trying
to restore this website as it appears that the website continues to have a problem."
and then gives me three "What you can do" options.  A few times it has "kicked me
out" of ARSA forcing me to sign in again.  This is not a showstopper, rather a
minor inconvenience, but I was just curious if anyone else is experiencing similar
occurrences or if it's a network anomaly on my end.  Cheers!
