      • 2006-06-07 15845, 2006

      • nikki_

      • catgroove
        :)
      • 2006-06-07 15802, 2006

      • catgroove
        should add a variable if only VA album, show that
      • 2006-06-07 15804, 2006

      • nikki_
        ruaok: could you make http://musicbrainz.homeip.net/showartist.html?art… display a bit better?
      • 2006-06-07 15806, 2006

      • catgroove
        or something

      • catgroove
      • 2006-06-07 15858, 2006

      • nikki_
        I think anything that indicates that the artist has no albums, singles or EPs *but* has VA albums would work too
      • 2006-06-07 15836, 2006

      • nikki_
        I don't know how he's doing it, it might be easier that way
      • 2006-06-07 15852, 2006

      • catgroove
        yes
      • 2006-06-07 15855, 2006

      • nikki_
        http://musicbrainz.homeip.net/showartist.html?art… <- now the VA albums under it can't be found at all :o
      • 2006-06-07 15836, 2006

      • catgroove
        I really approve of the idea
      • 2006-06-07 15857, 2006

      • catgroove

      • dsp
        ruaok: down at the bottom i might use a larger font and put some more space above it, possibly left align it too
      • 2006-06-07 15830, 2006

      • dsp
        it kind of tucks up under the EPs for me on ff 1.5

      • dsp
        ruaok: also the part at the top. The Show all releases wraps around under change to compact listing when the browser window is narrowish
      • 2006-06-07 15842, 2006

      • catgroove gives ruaok a pat o n the vack, very nice man
      • 2006-06-07 15850, 2006

      • dsp
        it'd be good for those to be seperate cells or divs or whatnot
      • 2006-06-07 15851, 2006

      • catgroove
        back even
      • 2006-06-07 15811, 2006

      • ruaok
        dsp: not sure about the font size thing. I left aligned and padded it more though.
      • 2006-06-07 15829, 2006

      • catgroove
        itsa bit big, one less size augta do it fine
      • 2006-06-07 15841, 2006

      • ruaok
        lemme fix one other thing real quick...
      • 2006-06-07 15831, 2006

      • dsp
        ruaok: that looks better. i might say 'Displaying a, s, and E only.'
      • 2006-06-07 15841, 2006

      • dsp
        i don't know why i think i want that only though :)
      • 2006-06-07 15823, 2006

      • dsp
        or maybe say 'Compilations, VAs, and blah blah have been supressed. Show all releases'
      • 2006-06-07 15828, 2006

      • dsp
        i so hate UI work
      • 2006-06-07 15859, 2006

      • ruaok
        I like it the way it is now. nikki_ has a good sense for these things.
      • 2006-06-07 15818, 2006

      • ruaok
        nikki_: does this look acceptable now?

      • 2006-06-07 15815, 2006

      • nikki_
        better than before at least!
      • 2006-06-07 15820, 2006

      • ruaok
        well, to list that there ARE albums, i would have to take the DB penalty I am trying to avoid.
      • 2006-06-07 15831, 2006

      • ruaok
        and since this is an edge case, it will have to do.
      • 2006-06-07 15838, 2006

      • nikki_ nods

      • 2006-06-07 15833, 2006

      • ruaok
        Not sure about the wrapping issue though...
      • 2006-06-07 15837, 2006

      • catgroove
        only because I'm working with such album, single and ep less artists at the moment, its so typica
      • 2006-06-07 15851, 2006

      • catgroove
        I like the way it currenly says though
      • 2006-06-07 15801, 2006

      • ruaok
        oh, yea dsp, I will fix that.
      • 2006-06-07 15804, 2006

      • dsp
        catgroove: you could use some greasemonkey love to get the full page..
      • 2006-06-07 15827, 2006

      • catgroove
        umh, how on earth can i use greache monkey in opera?

      • 2006-06-07 15837, 2006

      • catgroove
        all I know is that people lcomplai n that it makes the browser slow and or it doesn'rt work properly
      • 2006-06-07 15847, 2006

      • catgroove
        what it *does* I have no idea
      • 2006-06-07 15853, 2006

      • dsp
        javascript to rewrite web pages and stuff
      • 2006-06-07 15801, 2006

      • catgroove
        meh javascript
      • 2006-06-07 15813, 2006

      • dsp
        for something like this you could rewrite all the urls to always get the full listing
      • 2006-06-07 15824, 2006

      • ruaok
        wrapping fixed.
      • 2006-06-07 15825, 2006

      • dsp
        it wasn't a particularly serious suggestion
      • 2006-06-07 15826, 2006

      • catgroove
        sounds.. complicated
      • 2006-06-07 15828, 2006

        the lingo of full/compact listing vs 'all releases'/album,single,EP might be a little confusing to some ppl
      • 2006-06-07 15848, 2006

      • dsp
        it looks kind of odd when the page has two links in that box one saying 'Change to full listing' and the other 'Show all release'
      • 2006-06-07 15841, 2006

      • dsp
        whether the full/compact could be combined into the compact look with a new plus button on the left or something

        Can we get a switch in prefrences to turn "show all releases" on permanently or have some cookie that rememebers our settings for the current session? Doing edits is kind of a pain clicking on that link every time.

        I've been thinking about that story about showing/hiding the tally of vote

      • dmp_panda
        personnaly, I don't mind at all, I would even prefer shown votes

      • dmp_panda
        but if this is really a concern, perhaps the "votee" shouldn't see it?

        (I mean, the tally of votes during the election)
