For this split, there was one guy doing the artwork for the whole split (=for both bands). It should be possible to add one misc. staff contributor for the whole release. Could be other things too. Like layout, mixing, mastering and so on...

I agree with this, and find this to be one of the larger headaches that needs to be addressed. Of course it always boils down to how easily this could be implemented concerning the code.

Known issue, but yeah, I couldn't agree more.

A small bug in the Identifiers field: it is impossible to write a matrix code containing a >, the character disappears after submiting the update.

Example: Danzig - How the Gods Kill
Correct matrix is : "512 270-2 01 >", whereas "512 270-2 01 ", with an ending space, is stored in the DB.

I suspected that it might have something to do with HTML tagging, but it seems to be disabled for that field (which it rightfully should be). I'll notify HB.

To me a minor bug occured during the editing of Faith No More's "Angel Dust" album.
I started with the adding of the 11-track vinyl version, after that I edited the U.S. CD version, which I consider to be the parent release.
There was not much, just the removal of the recording info from the additional notes to the appropriate field and two capitalization edits (tracks 1 and 5).

After I got that, this CD version album appeared on the screen like it was not edited at all, but the time log stamp showed the execution of my work. I closed all pages, shut the computer down and restarted it - Same appearance.

Then I added the 14-track CD version, using the funny looking parent version and on the editing mask everything looked like it should, executed capitalization and recording info in the correct field.

Just open the faith No More page, click on the album "Angel Dust" and tell me if it is a bug or not. Looks funny, when the edit seems to be lost somewhere in space but in fact has been performed...

When in doubt, clear the cache. That seemed to fix it.

EDIT: I see you don't have the rank to do this, well you can always flag a report or ask.

A really minor aesthetic bug:
when an instrumental track has some comment, the "Instrumental" tag is a clickable link.
After showing then hiding the comment, the link reverts to "Show lyrics" instead of "instrumental".

Yup, I've seen that. People shouldn't be putting "notes" in the lyrical fields anyway, honestly.

Another minor aesthetic bug for boxed-set:
take for example this: http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Gr ... _Die/35975
Shouldn't the format field display 6 x 12" vinyl (33⅓ RPM) instead of just 12" vinyl (33⅓ RPM)?

it would be great if the MA search algorithm took into account the general popularity of the band (only in the case of 100 % matching search terms). For example, the number of reviews could move a band up the search result list. There are currently 2 bands called Marduk on MA and I really don't care for the "other" one and I'm sure very few people do.

Not really a bug, just the way boxed sets are displayed. I agree it could be presented more coherently, but more often than not the issue is on the user's end due to misinterpreting the format altogether.

i dunno if this is a software bug or just the wrong info being entered, but on the page for verdunkeln(http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Verdunkeln/43892) their s/t is listed as being released in 2010, even though that first came out in 2005(and that version is listed in the other versions section of the album). seems like the 2010 release has been entered as the primary one or something but i don't know how to change it.

Mild nitpick: http://www.metal-archives.com/report/by ... /mode/page

On this page, it's impossible to see any diacritical marks over capital letters. The first letter is "Č", but it just looks like "C"... not the most urgent thing in the world to fix, but it does look rather strange.

There is a tricky way to add band members and guests in the line-up even if it is a compilation album. Compilation albums often have line-up described in the booklets. We know that only miscellaneous stuff can be add there but if we mark the album as "full-length", add band members, then change the type to "compilation" - the band members still show up though it is a compilation album. Is it good or is it some kind of bug that should be fixed?

That's obviously a bug, but Diamhea and me would be all for loosening the lineup restrictions for compilations. It's under consideration. In the meantime, please don't waste your time by exploiting that bug.

Here are some various minor bugs/suggestions that I've pointed out over the past two years which haven't been addressed one way or the other, if any of the higher-ups are having a lazy day and feel like polishing over the site a bit. :) Most shouldn't be too hard to integrate, I bet.

Look at #56 under Most Wanted, which is a split between Belkètre and Vlad Tepes, but the album is listed as only being by Belkètre.

I can comment on two:

1.) Deleting band photos/logos. I don't think this really comes up that often in any event. I definitely don't trust veterans enough with something like this. Knights however...I'd say that isn't a problem.

2.) Capping image height. I definitely think this should be implemented. it already resizes the thumbnail (to a degree) when viewing the band page, so the fact that it doesn't take this into account is a bit puzzling. As you said, it takes into account images that are very wide (horizontally) and reorients them accordingly, so I don't understand why it doesn't do the same vertically. Probably because there is no real hard cap concerning free space in that regard, and images/logos are almost always pushing against the main windows of the band page horizontally. Not sure how difficult this would be to code.

I would have no objections to giving Knights this ability.

Indeed. That might just be an unintentional omission. [wait, doesn't "omission" imply intent? So sorry for the potential oxymoron.]

Alright, HellBlazer was kind enough to expand the image deletion capabilities of Knights to logos and photos.

Sorry if this has been brought up before. But when an album is re-released under a different title, documented here in MA as a child entry, then we can't find it via album search. E.g. The Blood of My Race is a child entry of the album "Red". However, I can't find via album search.

Look at #56 under Most Wanted, which is a split between Belkètre and Vlad Tepes, but the album is listed as only being by Belkètre.

Fixed, the correct link syntax will appear for split albums. Ironically, you will not see it (I tested locally by increasing the list to 600 entries instead of 100 just to make sure it'd render correctly), because this album appearing in the list was a bug; the two bands on the split made the number of "wanted" being doubled (in reality it's 54 as of today, and not 112 as it was showing).

This allowed me to do a triple fix:
- correct stats being count for splits;
- split album now showing the band links correctly (which you won't see 'cause no splits are currently on those top 100 but hey, if they ever do they'll be good!)
- optimized the stats queries which makes this tab load muuuuuch faster (one query went from 30 seconds to less than a second)

Yeah I left that intentionally, I think it's a useful explanation to have on the separate page, and I like having quicker voting without confirmation on the tab.

Yeah, this happened a few places. I fixed it on the band page's reviews tab. Let me know if it appears anywhere else.

Current roster also shows bands that are currently signed on the label even if they have no releases out. Whereas past roster is basically the past catalogue. I believe the reason why we are not showing the count was that it greatly affected performance. I might need to revisit this, but that was the reason.

I'll deal with the rest some other day.

So after checking the band queue today I noticed this:
http://i.imgur.com/MonPWOW.png

It seems like the other user did not realize that I had submitted the same band as he did.

Can there be a prompt that says that Band X from Country Y is already present in the queue, even if the band was already added as a draft? I think he should have checked ahead just to make sure, but it seems like he is not very active and may not have thought that something like this would happen.

When adding a new version of the album and changing the catalog number because of a different label I've noticed that it doesn't save only the catalog number I've entered and it appears as previous. Some sort of bug, I guess?

A possible bug of the application, i got points without doing any modification.
I was changing the "Alternate spelling" of http://www.metal-archives.com/band/edit/id/77076 and i erase it, but i don't save, a few seconds later i decide to put it again to see before who add it (because isn't true) and then i click on save and then appears a modification like this :

I've never had this happen. Care to elaborate?

MasterOfSin: I've noticed such phenomena under the edit history as well.

I stumbled upon a bizarre behaviour:
when searching for "Richard Johnson" in Artists, I get 6 results, including one "Richard Johnson (a.k.a. Richard "Grindfather" Johnson)".
This guy is linked to the bands Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Unholy Grave on the search result page.
When getting on his artist page, there is no mention of Unholy Grave, either in the Active Bands tab or the Guest/Session one.
Is it some server cache issue? Client cache (FF 38) was cleared...

A few suggestions (some may have already been asked):
- advanced search tabs for artists and labels
- When editing / displaying collection, it would be great that split albums are sorted according to the first band on the split. For example, the Intervalle Bizzare / Malignancy split CD (tracks in that order) is listed under Malignancy.

It seems that his crediting for the unlisted band The Index on a split release with Unholy Grave results in the site displaying the listed band instead (in search results)? A bug for sure, though according to current policy he shouldn't be added to an unlisted band on a split anyway.

EDIT: k, it was a server cache issue after all. A leftover from when the artist was connected to the listed band for a minute or so after he was first added. Shouldn't happen apparently, HB said he'd look into it. EDIT #2: And fixed. :)
