Hey
Well, we seem to be having a bit of a problem with our old board. A few times in the past it has cleared itself which is very odd because we do so regularly but this time it did it completely w/o us telling it to.
Monday before break we had the board set up so that it worked exactly the way we wanted it too and nothing was wrong with it at all. Today I went up to talk to some people before a rehersal and they asked what I had been doing to it. When I said nothing they gave me a very stumped look because apparently everything on the board had been cleared. Our TD managed to write the cues for the show that is going up this week w/o the correct soft patch and w/o knowing where anything was because all the text on the screen was cleared. Well thats a pretty good feat but now we can't load the new soft patch in w/o it totally messing up all the cues. Plus, the stage screen is now incorrect so its basically lying and saying that the wrong lights are on all the time. To go with that becuase of the soft patch not being there the macros and the effects don't work. And we also have the same problem that the submasters when we put them in don't register.
Well the board is working well enough that they can get through the show (Which I'm not on crew for) but its a pretty big pain in the butt that it keeps doing that randomly. I hope it doesn't do it in the middle of the show or right before it starts. What a pain.
