There are lots of bands in countries like USA or UK.
To search bands from the country's list will be a bit cumbersome as the list starts with Alphabets.
it will take a longer time to search bands with "S" or other initials easily.

I'll also get a purge for the modification history. Eventually we'll probably keep the last month of updates or so (exact duration to be determined).

Is there a reason to get rid of the modification history in the first place? If there is no technical reason for doing so, I would suggest keeping them.

Agreed, but I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Check out Destruction, Demilich, Enslaved, Finntroll, and Graveland. There are quite a few others as well.

Ok, reported.

I've already wrote that, in the future, you'll be able to change the number of results in lists.


BUG FIXES

Quote:
Split bug

I think I just found another bug. http://img812.imageshack.us/f/mabug.jpg/ A release was improperly entered as a live album and I wanted to change it to a split one, when adding another band which is on MA, by clicking on the check button, it adds it as another band not on MA.

Fixed.

Quote:
Problem with modification history

I've been updating a few bands' releases with the line-up for each release (a feature which I absolutely love about V.2) and everything worked fine. I then was curious and checked my modification history on my profile. It says that I've modified some things about those albums (like lyrics and song lengths) when I did no such thing. I just want to check if this is a bug and, if not, why this happened. Also don't want to get in some sort of trouble for making changes which aren't actually changes (for example, where it says I've changed lyrics, there is not actual change) which I didn't even make.

Fixed. The first case was caused by empty track lengths; instead of saving 00:00:00 for empty track lengths, it saved "NULL". Either way is good, but it detected a difference and saved the history. I've made it so that future empty track lengths are all at 00:00:00 like in v1, so that kind of false positive should happen less often (if they do it's not a big deal).

The lyrics thing is a bit more problematic, since it's once again a matter of htmlentities. I've analysed the data and in the old value, the "…" character was an html entity, which being loaded into the (hidden) lyrics field, was then saved as a real character when the user clicked save. This will happen a few times at first but it's once again a false positive we can't really do much about.

Actually, you can already do that. Go to the album, click on the wrench and select "See who owns this album".

If I search for Negura Bunget, i get this strange error.

Error 404
Band not found

We are sorry, the band Negură_Bunget you were looking for could not be found. Perhaps the entry has been deleted, or is still pending moderation approval.

If you followed a link from an external site, it was most likely out of date. If you followed a link from within the site and believe this is an error, please report the dead URL below immediately. (Make sure to tell us where you clicked to end up on this page.)
http://209.59.186.200/~metalarc/~metala ... unget/4356

Thank you for your comprehension.


And it hasn't been deleted, it's here:
http://209.59.186.200/~metalarc/bands/N ... unget/4356

Plus I shouldn't get this kind of error if I search for a band which isn't on the archives.

Suppose you wish to add Bruce Dickinson to an album/a band and you search for him. Than he appears with all the bands he's been involved with, but some of those bands appear several times. If he is linked with Iron Maiden (the band), but also linked with Iron Maiden, Killers, Number of the Beast, ... then the band Iron Maiden will appear once for the band itself and once for every Maiden album he has done.

Looks like the exact same bug I mentioned on page 4, when all of a sudden the list of bands for Michael Weikath had become "Helloween, Helloween, Helloween, Helloween, etc.". I assumed it was a one-off glitch, since it went back to normal after that one time. I guess there's more to it, but it's not systematical at least.

On a side note, if Dickinson is linked to 'Killers', that'd be another bug entirely. :D

Hello,

First of all, congratulations on the new website. It has way more content, and although it will be troublesome in order to update all the band members and labels, it will pay off in the end. Those additions rock!

Another thing I find very cool is the whole reports stuff. But how to act? What's the point with assigning stuff?
Am I free to browse the report page, resolve the issues and in the end just mark it as "resolved"?

Cheers!

I've skim-read most of the thread and haven't seen it anywhere, but it appears I can't add song lengths to releases without them. I've tried adding to XII Boar's 'XII' EP and nothing happens, and I've tried twice. I seem to remember being able to do that in the past, even as a non-veteran user, or am I mistaken?

Some artists show up with the same band several times when searching for them. Here's one example:

Danny Lilker United States The Ravenous, Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, Anthrax, etc.

If the report is going to take a while for you to fix, you can assign it to yourself, so that other users know that someone is already working on it.

I don't know if this has been addressed previously but I don't feel like searching the 5 previous pages.. how do you add albums to your collection now? Used to be able to through clicking on the album page and it had the "Add to Collection" function, am I blind and it's on the same album page like previously or do you have to do something else?

It's hidden a little. You need to click the tool button (the wrench) to see the link. On the plus side, that button is also in the discography list, so you don't need to go to each album's page to add them to your collection when you have many albums by the same band.

Come to think of it, we should probably put that button in the album search results too...

Not too important, but would it be possible to change the background of the spoilers to be something a bit less bright?

I have a suggestion, would it be possible to browse the releases on an artist page by role? It would be very neat for artists like say Peter Tagtgren, who in his career did vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and production (as far as I know), to be able to check all the releases to which he contributed production for example, regardless if he was a member or a misc staff. Or sometimes you have one who contributes artwork, but isn't really known for that.

Some of the roles you're talking about will appear under the Misc. Staff tab:

Don't panic if you see weird errors on the IP address site in the next few minutes, I'm moving the V2 site to http://v2.metal-archives.com.

EDIT: Move is done, please use the subdomain from now on. I don't think it will cause problems, but let me know if something weird happens

I have a suggestion. Would it be possible to add an option to include the exact dates an artist was in a band? Listing "from 2004 to 2004" doesn't seem all that helpful if the exact dates are known.

Also, If I only know the year an artist joined, but not the year they left, should I just leave it blank? Otherwise it will say "from xxxx to present" but list the artist as inactive.

Well, it'll just say "John Smith - Guitars (2004)". Not many people care about the exact months, I think... that's kinda overkill.

No, if the artist is a past member (or if the band is no longer active), it will say "xxxx-?" instead of "xxxx-present".

Here's an idea: use a computer instead of a phone. :P The site has never claimed to support mobile browsers...

I stand corrected. I must have been looking at the page to edit members when I wrote that, where it does say "xxxx-present", but it shows up fine on the actual band page. Thanks for clarification.

I think the graphics looks great but there's way too many tabs to go through and it all just takes up way more space on the screen than the simple-yet-effective old version.

I prefer the old one. But I guess if it all can be improved (...simplified...) it will be just as good, but looking better.

Yeah... Too messy for me right now.

FIXED BUGS


Quote:
Collection

Some albums in the collection are not being ordered by release date. For example, go to the this guy's collection http://209.59.186.200/~metalarc/users/Krav and check out Destruction, Demilich, Enslaved, Finntroll, and Graveland.

Fixed. They weren't random, they were apparently ordered by ID by default. Most of the time this meant a chronological order but not always. Ordered 'em by date now.


Quote:
Artist page

http://209.59.186.200/~metalarc/artists ... _tab_guest
"Drums" are not aligned.

Fixed.

Quote:
Non-veterans cannot add song lengths

Fixed.

Quote:
Lineup order

I noticed as far as the current lineup goes, you can't list the members in the order you want and they seems to be ordered by the years of being active. It's okay with a band where every member has the year they got into the band, so they are listed in order of time, but those which you don't know it are listed first. So when a band in particular has only the main member which you know the year he got in, he is listed last which feels kinda weird, particularly when all other members are new ones.

Fixed.

Quote:
Repeated bands in the artist search result

When yous search for an artist in the "Add an artist" page, the name of the same band can appear multiples times. Just try to add Bruce Dickinson to a band. Apparently, this happens because the system also takes into account the albums to which he was added.

Fixed.

Enhancement
Quote:
Search collection / want / trade list

The "See who owns this album" option (from the album tool menu), is now also available in the album collection.

Ok, first off, V2 is better than i ever could have hoped.
The forum seems to be logging people off. I todes the same to me, except sometimes I have re-login from page to page, and I have the login automatically every visit box checked and rechecked.

I don't know if someone said this already, but I am pointing out some suggestions:
- In the members list, the years an artist has been active should be in some darker color, so that it is easier so read when there is a lot of info (like artists that played several instruments or where in the band for some years, then left and then go in the band again)
- Active years history. Other than year of creation, it would be cool if it evolved to something that includes hiatus and whatnot. E.g.: Septic Flesh should be 1990-2003 / 2003-
- Make it easier to edit members. If there is a typo in the name of an artist, one has to delete that artist from the member list and add him again (and select instrument, years active, etc). It is such a pain for only correcting one letter.
- Add to the "other stuff to do" the following: add band members to bands whose members are listed only with the legacy lineup (this should be priority number 1)

Also, I don't understand how artists are sorted in the member list. I think it seems to be done from the year they've been in the band. Shouldn't it be simpler if they are sorted by instrument alphabetically? (bass, drums, guitar, vocals)?

Not terribly important, but apparently the charcter "<" in a report will remove any text that follows it. It's what happened to me with this one, twice: I added the missing part in a comment first, but it still started with "<" so the comment ended up containing just that. I'll keep away from "<" from now on.

I uploaded Alien Gods (Black/Death Metal) from India on 10th April,2011,
I have noticed that it's name doesn't appear in the bands listed under India.
What's the problem??

Not terribly important, but apparently the charcter "<" in a report will remove any text that follows it. It's what happened to me with this one, twice: I added the missing part in a comment first, but it still started with "<" so the comment ended up containing just that. I'll keep away from "<" from now on.

Something about adding Members:
When I add an artist with an artist name for example Fenriz, he is saved as Fenriz and his real name stands in the information. But if he had been added from the Storm site, his name would be Herr Nagell, and I don't think that everyone would be happy about.
So I think it's kind of a problem when artists use different artist names in every band they are, and there would be just one random name in his artist page as his "main" name even if that's just a very unimportant one.

My suggestion is, that every artist has his real name as "main" name, if it's available.

Another thing:
When you add an artist and you type in from when to when he has been in the band, the "Still active in the band?" tick box should be ticked off automatically, or you should get asked or something, because it's kind of weird when you see an artist who shouldn't be in the band anymore but is in the band member section, just because someone has forgot to tick it off.
