I�ll write a few here I�m not sure are being taken care of:
1. The album info and the link to artist websites don�t show on the artist page after being added.
2. An explanation if mailto:M@X - M@X or Phil know if the automatic updates from MusicBrainz will delete our work and reinstate the original album info ( horror...oh the horror
 ).3. If you add other releases they don�t show on the artist page. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

The link to the website appears in the artist index left to the bio. I didn't notice it as well but started a thread about it earlier today.

What is the maximum number of videos that can be added?
I can only post 5 per band at a time, is this correct? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112

| You can post as many videos as you want for an artist. Only the latest 5 is shown in the artist's page. I will add a More videos link soon where the list of all videos of an artist will be displayed. |

Do we have an answer yet to the questions on album deletion posed here:
http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=179 - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=179
I have an album I also need to delete but won't if it will be automatically added again by MusicBrainz
Edit: I can't see how to delete the album either!  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112

I am going to give you that function today (DELETE ALBUM)  For the MusicBrainz import, don't worry, we are planning with m@x a working method for you. There won't be any automatic "re-addition" of the albums you deleted.

There are two album entries of the Mental Funaral album on the Autopsy page: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/autopsy.aspx - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/autopsy.aspx
Now I�m trying to delete one of them, but dare not because I�m let to the 2003 version which has a review ( I don�t want to delete that review by error) no matter which version I chose. It seems like the two entries are connected somehow.

| Which version do you want to delete, 1991 or 2003? I'll take care of it and move the review at the right place. |
Posted By: UMUR
Date Posted: 01 Apr 2010 at 8:12am
|
Well they both have the same info ( might have different cover pics but I�ll change that later anyways) and the album was originally released in 1991 so I�d say you should delete the one from 2003. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I've noticed a few problems last night when trying to add some official website links to existing bands. I know with 100% certainty that I entered the correct addresses in the forms, but ocassionally, the link that appears in the "Official Website" is something like www.metalmusicarchives.com/www.(band'saddress). For example, I saw this occur when updating U.D.O : http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/udo.aspx - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/udo.aspx It doesn't happen all the time though. I think a similar bug existed in PA if I remember correctly. |

I have a similar problem ( just without the review part) with the two Hinderes albums on this page: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/daath.aspx - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/daath.aspx I would like the 2006 one to be deleted but they seem connected, so I don�t dare delete the 2006 one. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

| According to MusicBrainz ( http://musicbrainz.org/artist/2818675b-bfdd-45e2-a0b3-44daf21d2323.html - http://musicbrainz.org/artist/2818675b-bfdd-45e2-a0b3-44daf21d2323.html ), the only album is listed under Uncategorized releases. These albums are not imported with our script. |

I once added the bands Hypothermia and Teitanblood to the database: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/hypothermia.aspx - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/hypothermia.aspx http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/teitanblood.aspx - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/teitanblood.aspx They have the MB codes but never got synchronized. Should I add releases manually, or? :-) |

There was a small bug with those bands (Hypothermia and Teitanblood) data in database. I fixed it and imported MB albums.

Is this a bug or a deliberate function? I just posted a review for the Reversion demo CD and it's not showing up on the front page. A bug or are we not publishing demo reviews on the front page? http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/reversion--reversion%28demo%29.aspx - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/reversion--reversion(demo).aspx ------------- http://iamthreepeople.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow">  <- Click on this!

^at least that�s the consensus for now. If you go to the demo entry you�ll be able to see the review. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

This could be a possible bug, or I don't understand how the weighing system works for ratings. I just submitted a 5 star review for Aerosmith- Rocks. After submission, the rating went from a 4 to 4.23. There was only one other rating (by Sleepwalker, another collaborator) which also included a review. Shouldn't the current rating have been a 4.5? http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/aerosmith--rocks.aspx - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/aerosmith--rocks.aspx According to the description above the rating section for an album, it mentions a submission with a review is a weight of 3, and a weight of 1 for a rating only. Is the weighing system more complex that I am aware of? This is the only instance of this I've seen so far btw. |

That's odd indeed, and it's not the only case, here's another I found: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/cloudkicker--%5d%5d%5d%5b%5b%5b%28ep%29.aspx - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/cloudkicker--]]][[[(ep).aspx Perhaps it's because I'm in the admin team that my ratings have a higher value than those of special collabs? But, as far as I know those are supposed to have an equal value. |

Let's see if this post works. I can't post on here or progarchives anymore, keep getting an error "Sorry, you do not have permission to do that" type error, even though I am logged in and haven't been banned (at least to my knowlege. It let me make a couple of posts back in December, so let's see if this one works, and can anyone here or at progarchives look into it?

Well I can assure you that you haven't been banned at least. This isn't a widespread issue with the site but at least one other member - silly puppy (Mike) - has been complaining about a similar issue - Mike if you read this are you still having this issue? I thought it was just him but since you're having issues as well I expect there is a compatibility issue somewhere. I notice from our online users page you're on a Mac and I think Mike said he uses one too. Might be a coincidence or it might be something. Hard to tell at this point. Have you tried, if you can, seeing if changing web browser or computer makes any difference? Also make sure your system including web browser is up to date. Can you use our main site (or PA's) okay? Rate releases? Comment on reviews, profiles etc? What I can try for now is just resetting your MMA posting permissions to see if that changes anything. I did this for Mike before but I don't think he said whether it helped or not.

Okay. Another thing you could try (no promises) is making a second user account and seeing if the issue persists.
