I'll make it work for IE at the end. Right now, firefox or die ;)

hee hee it doesnt know how to calculate 1999-1-11 .. it doesnt know what day that is :P

yes :D lol - a few strange things yet

updating again - anyhow, that's way too soon to have anything tested seriously

about that list: going top twenty + button show all / collapse ?

ok still not getting to ever warn you.. it just says the day.. nothing else

ok, let make it stable so :p I'll ping in an hour or two for some real tests ;)

ill be passed out by then I think :)

loool. Do you want some coffee ? - i just made some ;)

Shepard: we were trying to come up with a not-so-instrusive but notable way to prevent people from entering bogus release dates. Making it so people won't get pissy about it but warn people that the date they are entering is possibly wrong.

how annoying :)

Shepard: So if someone enters a release date thats a Sunday for the US it was say Please Verify or Confirm or something of that sort

:)

I think you would agree that if checked the known common 3, UK Monday, US Tuesday, JP Wednesday that it save a lot of incorrect dates.. again a warning so people who enter bootlegs and indie label stuff won't get annoyed but just have a warning.

tele: do we have known usual releases dates for the top twenty, or just for a few of them?

actually really only the 3 I mentioned.. :( .. well canada falls in with US

you could set DE for Monday Wednesday and Friday until it really annoys sheppy and he says theres many releases on other days :)

anyway it could always be changed if something is real bad.. we will never know until we try

USA / CA Tuesday ---- uk fr belgium -> Monday?

your stretching my (guessing/knowledge) i can only give a good answer for what I consistently enter... and FR and Belgium aren't them

neither do I... I'll make a quick check on AMZ fr

I really think the most common days are Monday Wednesday and Friday except for the US

and ho, while am at questions: for "confirmation" dialog, do MB prefer an alert box? or an inline checkbox with a fat red message?

I cant recall many confirmed Thursday, Saturday or Sundays

won't the inline checkbox confuse people into thinking they are removing something?

hmmm unless i add them manually i guess we dont have a total # of releases with a release date... though it appears with the top 4 we cover 1/3 of all releases in the db

dunno. But the checkbox is used on the confirmation when you try to add an artist with a name already in.

(although it's done server side of course)

I'll go with the dialog for now

i guess do it that way... this is all prelim and will be bitched about for years anyway :)

:p

again question: where do I put that button "collapse/toggle" full list?

even if it helps 25% of the new entries thats better than nothing... In the last week ive probably caught 5-10 manually that set the US to a UK date or vice-versa

verified it was a true swap and all.. so that would be 5-10 i wouldnt have to find myself

maybe use a + sign? next to the country box... no.. guess then people would think it was going to expand

i dunno... anyone else lurking care to add any input on that?

is Nyght still playing water games

and we want just one "expand", whatever the number of releases line right?

nope, sending my husband off to work

well tell us where to stick it :)

the button that is

ah and I was gonna say if it was up... oh, yeah.

dmp_panda: you mean once you expand they are all expanded

that was my pick, but it's far from done ;)

I think a plus is wrong if you aren't expanding, because the site uses pluses to expand albums.

yeah the calendar would be a real pisser ;)

ok nyght's back to her 3minute ago answers to my statements ;)

I had to read over what you'd discussed

nothing... you actually think we said something meaningful ;)... who you kiddin

well you ask me for input, and I should have some information about it before trying to give input?

Johnny 5 wants Input

ugh

tele, Nyght: what about an entry in the drop down list itself that says : "More..." ?

or "Show all..."

That's better

Show, let's make it errrrr... fit with the others

that is "Show all..." ? anyhow, such text correction may be easily done at the end

going with the drop down entry idea

That's a pretty good idea... and yeah, Show All.

i think inhouse needs to create a page that shows all the reports he has :) so I dont have to bookmark them all

That might be helpful. :) call it teleguise's quick pick.

well being it doesn't display an editing suggestions list, i think a user settable page for all servers should have "Custom Report Options" list

that way anyone logging into a test server can easily find neat little things the owner created and may be of use or unique

or should say accessing not logging into

i think ill suggest that to inhouse... if its not too much recoding to add such a thing

It doesn't sound like it is... at least, the coding of the sheets done and such

other than that... I don't know.

preview for the collapsed list + show all thingie

it changes the width of the drop down list. Looks bad. I'll fix the width.

I don't know Martin

http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4971755 not my edit but if anyone wants to increase their Yes vote count by 1... you can do a quick click there ;)

dmp_panda: tsk tsk.. 7 Cannonball Adderley's with bogus release dates... oh those were the Riverside/Fantasy ones you mentioned

these are the Riverside

I really need to have the last word about this. This is too odd.

ah... found an easy 1 (i hope) to clean up.. bogus Madonna US release dates should be easy to find

need to have the last truth, whatever :p I didn't meant say I am right ;)

Martin, do you have a popup blocker?

umm... I have firefox? I think there's a check-box about popup blocking somewhere...

click that link, it will let you purchase the cd

*ahem* bah!

LOL man... I entered these too... geesh! but they werent my fault these were years ago before I knew better and from amz

the buy links click open a popup

Japan Wednesday?

http://www.sainthuck.de/dr.schnurr.jpg Hehe, it's like looking at clouds and making them look like real life objects

you'll need more than a fridge to cool me down

yay!!

i hope if and when we get label & catalog info, we don't have redundant crap like this - http://www.discogs.com/release/215228 .. 3 label names all the same with all the same catalog #

teleGUISE: http://musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=2...

nikki_: you found it! :D

hee... there you have it.. the 1 and only Zimbabwe release...

ok guess ill change that to unknown country now..

crap cleaning up the Madonna US release dates are going to be harder then expected... they are all singles so far... grrr

ah I thought she was the one with the exceptional site?

Nyght: it is and it isn't for the fan it's great in its completeness for a discography it's a typical site..

http://liberatedgames.org/game.php?game_id=35 <-- hmm... non-album tracks of "Crack Dot Com" unless we can find out who their music person was?

teleGUISE?

I think he wandered

lol

Nyght: well. I'll use you as experiment so :D

kay, you'll have to give me a link again if it's to the web, and be patient, the web is being ultra slow!

no problem

link is here

right now, it has the collapsed/show all thing

plus it displays the day on the fly

plus it asks for confirmation is a US release is not on tuesday

or a non-US release is on Sunday/Saturday

Actually I think it's more that I'm porting vids to my psp

ah... found one of those ASINS that -DO- display a customer image... - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002M4A .. http://musicbrainz.org/album/b69d729a-8a45-439d...

so there for all you who said they don't ... :-P

That's pretty nifty!

strange :p

i knew i'd come accross another to prove it.. when everyone thought i was just being teleCRAZY again

i just need to learn how to spell though ;0 -c

so what's up now... only finished 1/2 of the borked madonna releases yuck!

Hi Joan.... but, tele, that's because it's "1" customer image

the other is Amazon's I'll bet

hi joan!

hi beth and nikki

hi Joan!

dmp_panda: whats up with the initial page draw that shortens the country drop down box after it fully loads

afternoon panda - and very many congratulations - a bit late I know, but just back from vacation

small display / performance quirk.
