the thread icon legend is missing three of the icons (New posts, New posts [ Popular ] & New posts [ Locked ])

also, the legend doesn't mention that yellow means you have posted in the thread

Ah, missed this thread. Well, it's not about adding the date. If that were the case, then everyone would have to do the same. I was referring to something I came across on the free-for-all thread in the tavern. For instance, user X quoted user Y in a new post. But the original post was made quite a while back. So as I backtracked, it grew tiring going through all those older posts...but for instance, if the time stamp was mentioned in teh quote by default, it would be easier to either search or at least it gives you an idea when the original post was made.

I understand it's the forum software. I merely was curious if anything could be done with regards to that. I've seen other forums and they incorporate what I explained above.

I just noticed one can't have nested spoilers in a post. I was assuming it would be possible just like quotes.

I'm trying to add the members for Foot and Mouth Disease and it won't let me do they need to be a metal band to have a lineup?
They are on the split with Beard Without A Mustache.

What's the thread title again?

I seem to be unable to add artists and see the review tab. Whats happening?

shameless bump

I can't edit my trade thread, is this a known issue?

Same here!

I see! so it's not just me, it's a bit of an odd one, I can post in the thread [so can others] but I just can't save the edit
Even if I make no changes and save it I get this error:

I've got the same problem. Just tried to edit my thread and the following message popped up:

"Error 404

Thank you for your comprehension."

Please help!

I even got that message previewing the post.

Same here...the message appears when I try to preview my thread. It is strange!

Interesting, it's only the first post that I’m having issues with, I tested another post and it let me edit it

I cannot edit any posts of my thread. I get an error message every time.

Can somebody help, please?

Just edited my thread so everything seems to be back to normal!

Nice:)

Oh good, looks like last night's server maintenance fixed this problem too.

Just saying thanks for the :visited links colour change. Helps navigation a lot!

Cool, the unable to edit my trade thread glitch has been fixed

Just got this message while trying to update the logo and photo of the band Coffin Dust a few minutes ago.

It's back again
I know you guys are aware of the problems so I'll stop posting about it.

edit 6:56pm Feb 08 [GMT+ 13?] It's fixed itself again

Nothing huge, but I think that the new subforum is supposed to be written "Musicians Seeking Musicians", and not "Musicians seeking Musicians".

I got these errors yesterday, I emailed the site admin but here they are for the rest of you:

Super annoying feature in the forum.

When you want to open a topic in a new tab by clicking a topic, ctrl+click (cmd + click on mac), a new tab loads the url and the current tab also loads it. Current tab should not load the topic!

This is because you have put e.g "onclick="window.location.href='./viewtopic.php?f=11&t=12345'"" on the parent td.

I guess you have done this to make the whole td a link to the topic.

My suggestion is that you remove the onclick on the td, then modify the css of the topic a-tag to cover the desired clickable part of the td.

Thanks.

Ok, so I am ranked as a Metal Newbie now on my profile, yet whenever I post anything on the forum, I am labeled as Mallcore Kid still

That's not a glitch; your rank on the site is determined by points, whereas on the forum it's determined by posts. You need 30 posts to become a "Metal newbie" on the forums.

If anyone else is annoyed by the issue above, I put up a temporary fix for it: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/164960

Thanks

It would be nice if traders/sellers included country of origin in their thread title.

Or a compulsory country in their profile [visible on the left in the forums] if you are trading/selling.
I think it's really important to know what country the person you are dealing with is in before you get too far into it.

I have a problem with editing lyrics. While I added them and submitted, I noticed there were a few typos. I've once added lyrics to the wrong song, too. Is there any way too fix it, because I can't find it. Thanks in advance.

You probably don't have high enough rank to edit the information. Check this for details. Before you get to Veteran status, you can (and should) correct any errors/mistakes/etc like this via the report function (ie., the button which says "report an error", near the FAQ text, down and left from the top right corner)

Is anyone else experiencing problems with this site? the page seems to never fully load and at times it takes ages to load and I checked other sites to see if it is my internet which it isn't and even pinged the metal-archives domain to see if my packets weren't reaching or the connection was timing out which it wasn't. It doesn't really stop me from using the site it's just an annoyance.

Wrong thread, buddy.

Everything works smoothly for me, though.

Thine apologies. I am a little intoxicated

EDIT: Actually it is on the forum too so I guess it has relevance. Could anyone else confirm this?

EDIT 2: It's fine this morning.
