Yes, the new posts were not visable unless you screwed around with the HTML or you viewed them in the topic reveiw. The threads that were like this show the posts now; someone just needs to post.

How do you guys move your flux around (it's really heavy!)? I've been lifting one side of it and then dragging it across the carpet. Is this bad for the pad?

Fellow CF owner of a few years here.
I'm not sure if this is what DarkCore is getting at, but turn it up on its side so that it's completely flat up and down, tilt it about 45 degrees sideways so that it's in a diamond-type shape, and then hold the slanted edges with your left and right hands, keeping the CF looking like a diamond while you're carrying it. Depending on your height, you may have to be careful of that top diamond point poking you in the neck or somewhere crappy as such.

I think Dancing Tofu may be right about getting new Fluxes to respond - beat the shit out of it. I took my pad to a friend's house on Thursday, and 3 of my buddies pounded on it with shoes for about 4 hours straight.

Today, I AAA'd something for the first time in a month and passed a new 11 and a new 12.

Moral of the story = beat the hell out of your pad ;>.

ok so i posted something similar on the cobalt-flux site, but maybe i'll get a better response here:

i've had my pad for about a month now and have the trio linker plus adapter. Just today i went to play on it, and it doesn't register anything from the pad. I've tested the adapter on a crap soft pad and it picked it up fine. So i move down the line to the cbox. I don't have the pad attached right now, and itg automaps, so im guessing that if the cbox were working that i could press the start/select buttons, but they don't work. Am i right to assume that the cbox doesn't work because of this, or does the pad need to be working for the cbox to register as well?

now, assuming it is the cbox that is malfunctioning, what should i do to fix it? should i attempt to take the screws out and check it out? or try to get a replacement one from the company?

Yea, sounds like the cbox, i'd just send an email to [email protected] and explain to them what you did and the issue and i'm sure they'll take care of you.

I have had the same cobalt flux for 2 years now.

No problems.

Same control box as it came with.

Very slightly scuffed plexiglass.

Never had to "fix" it or call in for help.

I play with and without shoes on some crazy hard songs.

Friends come over and play in their shoes too. No problems.

Pretty much I consider it $300 well spent. And that's not something I say lightly.

Ok, I ordered my CF ~1.5 year agoin August(2005) and I've been AAAing 7-8 footers and passing 10 footers. Recently, I bought a trio linker to play on Stepmania and it worked fine but two weeks ago, I noticed some problems. Sometimes when I'm playing, my arrows don't respond like the pad/cbox froze (all 4 buttons freeze for a few seconds). That means that no matter how hard or light I step on the button, nothing happens and I get misses. Also, sometimes I get a random greats because the pad lags (even on simple 7 footers which i usually AAA with eaze). I know it lags and it's not me because its pretty obvious since I'm getting lots of marvellous in a row and a random great on the same beat.

I've tried cleaning the pad but no difference. I was thinking it was the control box(hopefully I dont have to buy a new pad) because it freezes on my stepmania AND ps2 only since recently. Any sugesstions of the problem? I've already tried tightening the screws and adjusting them but no luck. btw, I posted on the cf forum and I'm not getting any responses.
