        I'll make it work for IE at the end. Right now, firefox or die ;)
      • teleGUISE
        hee hee it doesnt know how to calculate 1999-1-11 .. it doesnt know what day that is :P
      • dmp_panda
        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 ?
      • teleGUISE
        ok still not getting to ever warn you.. it just says the day.. nothing else
      • dmp_panda
        ok, let make it stable so :p I'll ping in an hour or two for some real tests ;)
      • teleGUISE
        ill be passed out by then I think :)
      • dmp_panda
        loool. Do you want some coffee ? - i just made some ;)
      • teleGUISE
        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.
      • Shepard
        how annoying :)
      • teleGUISE
        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.
      • dmp_panda
        tele: do we have known usual releases dates for the top twenty, or just for a few of them?
      • teleGUISE
        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
      • dmp_panda
        USA / CA Tuesday ---- uk fr belgium -> Monday?
      • teleGUISE
        your stretching my (guessing/knowledge) i can only give a good answer for what I consistently enter... and FR and Belgium aren't them
      • dmp_panda
        neither do I... I'll make a quick check on AMZ fr
      • teleGUISE
        I really think the most common days are Monday Wednesday and Friday except for the US
      • dmp_panda
        and ho, while am at questions: for "confirmation" dialog, do MB prefer an alert box? or an inline checkbox with a fat red message?
      • teleGUISE
        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
      • dmp_panda
        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
      • teleGUISE
        i guess do it that way... this is all prelim and will be bitched about for years anyway :)
      • dmp_panda
        :p
      • again question: where do I put that button "collapse/toggle" full list?
      • teleGUISE
        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
      • dmp_panda
        and we want just one "expand", whatever the number of releases line right?
      • Nyght
        nope, sending my husband off to work
      • teleGUISE
        well tell us where to stick it :)
      • the button that is
      • Nyght
        ah and I was gonna say if it was up... oh, yeah.
      • teleGUISE
        dmp_panda: you mean once you expand they are all expanded
      • dmp_panda
        that was my pick, but it's far from done ;)
      • Nyght
        I think a plus is wrong if you aren't expanding, because the site uses pluses to expand albums.
      • teleGUISE
        yeah the calendar would be a real pisser ;)
      • ok nyght's back to her 3minute ago answers to my statements ;)
      • Nyght
        I had to read over what you'd discussed
      • teleGUISE
        nothing... you actually think we said something meaningful ;)... who you kiddin
      • Nyght
        well you ask me for input, and I should have some information about it before trying to give input?
      • teleGUISE
        Johnny 5 wants Input
      • Nyght
        ugh
      • dmp_panda
        tele, Nyght: what about an entry in the drop down list itself that says : "More..." ?
      • or "Show all..."
      • Nyght
        That's better
      • Show, let's make it errrrr... fit with the others
      • dmp_panda
        that is "Show all..." ? anyhow, such text correction may be easily done at the end
      • going with the drop down entry idea
      • Nyght
        That's a pretty good idea... and yeah, Show All.
      • teleGUISE
        i think inhouse needs to create a page that shows all the reports he has :) so I dont have to bookmark them all
      • Nyght
        That might be helpful. :) call it teleguise's quick pick.
      • teleGUISE
        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
      • orogor joined the channel
      • MartinRudat wonders... does http://www.melonpool.com/cd.html qualify as a soundtrack? =)
      • i think ill suggest that to inhouse... if its not too much recoding to add such a thing
      • Nyght
        It doesn't sound like it is... at least, the coding of the sheets done and such
      • other than that... I don't know.
      • dmp_panda
        preview for the collapsed list + show all thingie
      • Knio has quit
      • it changes the width of the drop down list. Looks bad. I'll fix the width.
      • Knio joined the channel
      • Nyght
        I don't know Martin
      • MartinRudat only has one of the tracks, and only because it was available for download well before the album existed...
      • MartinRudat wants to get a copy of the album, but the 'buy' links don't do anything. (that I can see)
      • teleGUISE
        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 ;)
      • MartinRudat shrugs, and puts the track on the 'do later' pile.
      • dmp_panda: tsk tsk.. 7 Cannonball Adderley's with bogus release dates... oh those were the Riverside/Fantasy ones you mentioned
      • dmp_panda
        these are the Riverside
      • I really need to have the last word about this. This is too odd.
      • teleGUISE
        ah... found an easy 1 (i hope) to clean up.. bogus Madonna US release dates should be easy to find
      • dmp_panda
        need to have the last truth, whatever :p I didn't meant say I am right ;)
      • MartinRudat wonders what to do with _this_ =) http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=191
      • Nyght
        Martin, do you have a popup blocker?
      • MartinRudat should point out that tajel is the name of the character in the comic.
      • MartinRudat
        umm... I have firefox? I think there's a check-box about popup blocking somewhere...
      • Nyght
        click that link, it will let you purchase the cd
      • MartinRudat
        *ahem* bah!
      • teleGUISE
        LOL man... I entered these too... geesh! but they werent my fault these were years ago before I knew better and from amz
      • Nyght
        the buy links click open a popup
      • MartinRudat bites sites that do important stuff with popups.
      • MartinRudat ponders... if nothing else, the phdcomics mp3 is one I know for certain the release date of. =)
      • Japan Wednesday?

      • MartinRudat pours nikki into a jelly mould, and puts her into the fridge to set.
      • nikki_
        you'll need more than a fridge to cool me down
      • MartinRudat ships nikki to the arctic, then. =)
      • yay!!
      • teleGUISE
        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 #
      • dmp_panda now thinks about... label annotations :p and immediately hides before somebody stones him
      • nikki_
      • dmp_panda
        nikki_: you found it! :D
      • teleGUISE
        hee... there you have it.. the 1 and only Zimbabwe release...
      • ok guess ill change that to unknown country now..
      • Nyght growls at websites that knock out firefox
      • crap cleaning up the Madonna US release dates are going to be harder then expected... they are all singles so far... grrr
      • Nyght
        ah I thought she was the one with the exceptional site?
      • teleGUISE
        Nyght: it is and it isn't for the fan it's great in its completeness for a discography it's a typical site..

      • Nyght
        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!
      • dmp_panda
        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
      • firefox only
      • Nyght
