loool

works in fox here :D -- I'll test on dows

well of course "Invalid" probably won't fly for many

peeps...

and how can I check anything if all your squashable quirks mean that nothing works, once you've put the wrong date in :)

lol

Just out of curiosity: what dates did you tried?

ah ok.. i see if you pick the country first it then shows you the Day.. but if you put the date first then the country is when it gets borked...

1999-01-24 through 1999-1-26

no zero preceding on the first

did you fix the white space glitch while you were at it?

What's the "white space glitch"?

if you put "1999" "1 " "24" or "1999" " 1" "24" it doesnt like it

obviously :/ fixing it now

would you place that day indication where I put it? or elsewhere?

well of course it moves the boxes out of order so I would keep the tick boxes in a column and put the verbage off to the right

kay

you've actually moved it over from the original position for some reason from the start

dmp_panda: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/albumreleases/index...

I didn't bothered to add it in a new table cell, but in the same cell as the tickbox (so it moves things :))

ah.. lazy ;)

ok, he may be more happy now with space glitch and such

I think the verbage would probably have to be changed to "Verify Date" to keep all happy or "Please Verify" something of that sort

take your pick :p

hee.. and when you do things backwards like enter the month, day and then the year it says invalid before you finish... (just nitpickin') :)

well don't ask Nyght which verbage cuz she will have us talking in a circle for an hour :P

teleGUISE: I just want to get things done... I'm not going to debate and argue after a point.. it's useless.

there's way too much of that on the mailing list. :)

it does until you finish adding a year between 1900 - 2100 ;)

i guess "Please Verify" will probably have to be used.. though its not the best ...actually though not sure how to make it not confusing, you had to tick a box to accept that possibly invalid date would be best..

well, first there are purely invalid dates 1912/24/52

but guess there isnt a way to do that on that page being it says at the top to tick boxes you want to remove

mmm...

as you know presently it just lets you enter them and then goes back

it's not on the fly its done when you click continue

so, *maybe* (not sure), we may prevent to actually try submitting a completely invalid date;

i guess you could do it that way

well you could either do it that way or follow the flow of where it says invalid date say Verify Date... to continue again.. might be easier to integrate that way

not ideal though

and for other *potentially* not coherent dates (Sundays), just let the day indication as is, and let the user submit?

of course you also have to limit only the 1 country by day... (but i know this is just a primer)

the main 3 would be US, UK and JP cuz DE is weird :)

did Sheppy jump in or is it his ghost?

1 country by day or 1 day by country? :)

1 country by day... cuz DE has more than 1 day possible

though the table can be added and expanded once the main infrastructure is in place.. that parts easy

ok: by the way, I guess it's safe to assume that a release should be between 1900 and 2100, right ? ;)

i really wish we could have a expanded and condensed country list... I mean no disrespect to all the other countries but I guarantee 90%+ of all the album adds are either UK, US, JP, DE, FR .. i dont need a list of 80 countries to choose from

yeah, like three I think, on de

there's nyght 20minutes later again :)

Wrong, that was three minutes. :D

ok 20 is exaggerating it was 3

:)

Shepard: you there or lurking for fear of pouncing ?

Yeah, I think I've entered about five "others"

ok what response and how many minutes ago was the comment this time ;)?

other countries. :P

Of course.

but things like Uzbekistan, Vanuata .. umm i think they have a 0 release count in the db so aren't on the top 10.. i think 10 could cover it..

ah maybe not...

forgot what site does it but they do have like a top 10 then list the other countries below.. which would be nice

or a button to switch on the fly between condensed list / full list?

anway... since im talking to myself... I think anything is a possible improvement over what we have

Shepard` is now known as Shepard

a map. =)

but again won't people whom aren't on the condensed list bitch cuz they always have to hit Full..

i dunno... i think they can suffer :) .. unless they can show they are entering a ton of releases from that country I dont see why clicking another button would hurt.. It sure would make the common edits easier though

especially these who grab their dates from amz.oulanbator :D

Well, I'm trying to find something like the site you were talking about.

wow again 3 minutes ago.. at least she is consistent :P

logitech?

no they have a map like Martin mentioned

errr no they dont I thought they did.. they just have a pic of a map up top

and why would they care about releases of cds

who said it was a cd release site that has a country pull down list?

it was a site to choose where you would be directed for assistance/info/etc..

just like logitech has but in a pull down menu fashion

ah... my misunderstanding

I had thought you wanted a top release site so we could potentially prune out some never released countries...

huh? we have a list that nobody wanted to tell me what inhouse's url was that shows the countries by amount of releases

that would be the way to create our top 10 or whatever... but I dont know the url

well, I can't read his mind.. no, I was seeking out general release information.

need to google the chat logs for mb.inhouse.co.uk for the month of March on

teleGUISE: what is it?

HI!

;)

Enjoy. :)

hi

curious from your experience what days primarily DE fell on.. or should I say which days you haven't seen them fall on.. since we know DE is weird and release any day.. From what I've experienced it usually is either Monday, Wednesday or Friday

releases being released that is

awww beth has her own inhouse page

walla... good ole google :O

well fuchs told me some time ago that we indeed *have* an official release day. it was changed to friday some time ago (dunno what it was before). but I've seen releases being released at different days

Nyght: I was right :) .. Friday was the main day

Yep, it's just the most obvious disc ids mainly trying to get those down for a little while. Again, mindless edits of late

it seems like if the release was also in the UK then the day matched.. meaning if the UK and DE release were the same it was Monday for both UK & DE

did you see the link..

yes

we could have a top 20 it looks like

never would have thought Russian Federation was up on the list that high

"20" even include unknown country ;)

yes :)... wow Italy is up there too..

but initial list did pick the top 4 :).

oh i picked 5 and Finland did beat out France

so i was 1 off

Belgium is pretty also

I wouldn't have thought that

Shepard: not that you probably bothered to check but from your experience you don't 'recall' seeing DE releases being on Thursday, Saturday or Sundays

heee.. I wonder if that 1 Zimbabwe release was the one I set along time ago before we had unknown country ;).. too bad I cant recall what release that was

lool :p

teleGUISE: just checked how it was. on september 2005 they changed it from monday to friday

...I wouldn't be surprised if 5 included 'unknown country'...

Shepard: hey where did you find that info!

and I *have* seen releases on other days so don't dare changing german release dates ;)

updated the version online - it's now more polite ("red" the wrong) and should be better at guessing what is invalid

you can't read the sites where I found it anyways :)

well like I said mainly I recall German being on Mon, Wed, or Friday... but you would know more so.. At least of the releases i've done (i'd say 95%) were 1 of those 3 days

Shepard: :( .. what type of site is it? just general music knowledge info... Can Elephants Jump (inside joke from earlier) , or a record label site?

google for "freitag ist musiktag" ;)

oh and the first friday was 2005-09-23

i just saw that too..

i didnt think you were serious about that search... but sure enough you were and there it is

it's how they called their campaign

Bloodhound, The Corrs, heryl Crow, Foo Fighters, Bon Garcon, Fish, Him, Patrick Lindner, Sean Paul, Wolfgang Petry, Andre Rieu, SEER, Shakira, Britney Spears, Tok Tok Tok, Pete Townshend, Neil Young were of the first

somewhere does it explain why "A Day" was chosen or is used?

like how it all began

dunno, haven't read all those since I don't care

but various sites say it was monday before

hmm.. well that's good to know.. so we have the top 4 countries covered for (most case scenarios)

what are you doing anyways?

creating stuff to piss you off :P

dmp_panda: ok now it says the day but doesnt say invalid ;)?

thanks for the info...

for which date

any

hang on shep.. just teasing

I may have borked, sure thing ;) updating live - be sure to force reload and flush your bro cache

does any good?

when should it say Invalid or Verify or whatever... I flushed closed ie reopened still the same thing .. shows the day but never says bad date

1950/50/50 should say invalid + red

drop ie for now
