        what is the policy for dropping AcoustID associations?

      • Leo_Verto
        because there's one acoustid totally different from the other one and only has one match

        I have a lot of problems
      • 2015-02-22 05311, 2015

      • plapable
        new account, name and password not recognized
      • 2015-02-22 05300, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Have you received the verification e-mail?
      • 2015-02-22 05333, 2015

      • plapable
        yes, logged in, etc
      • 2015-02-22 05356, 2015

      • plapable
        but I had to log out because of site issues
      • 2015-02-22 05324, 2015

      • plapable
        now it's saying my name & password are incorrect
      • 2015-02-22 05354, 2015

      • plapable
        can't report the bug I logged out to try to solve
      • 2015-02-22 05338, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Is it possible you forgot your password?
      • 2015-02-22 05353, 2015

      • plapable
        it's saved in my browser
      • 2015-02-22 05314, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        That may be the issue
      • 2015-02-22 05322, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        It might have the wrong password saved
      • 2015-02-22 05340, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Which site are you having issues with? The main site? The wiki? JIRA?
      • 2015-02-22 05349, 2015

      • plapable
        no, I mean I checked and retyped it several times. same result
      • 2015-02-22 05331, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Again, which site are you trying to log into?
      • 2015-02-22 05331, 2015

      • plapable
        I was trying to enter a release that MusicBrainz doesn't list. Don't know what JIRA is.
      • 2015-02-22 05338, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        That's our ticket tracker
      • 2015-02-22 05342, 2015

      • plapable
        the database
      • 2015-02-22 05344, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        It requires a separate login
      • 2015-02-22 05355, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        OK, maybe you need to reset your password
      • 2015-02-22 05316, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        nikki: You on? I think plapable needs help
      • 2015-02-22 05325, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        there's password reset for the main site
      • 2015-02-22 05309, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        on the log-in page, "Forgot your username or password?"
      • 2015-02-22 05307, 2015

      • plapable
        I'll do that, but at best that just gets me to my original problem
      • 2015-02-22 05316, 2015

      • plapable
        Do you have any insight as to why, after entering info in every field, when I get to the last page the "enter edit" button is greyed out?
      • 2015-02-22 05348, 2015

      • plapable
        And I lose everthing if I leave that tab
      • 2015-02-22 05312, 2015

      • pbryan joined the channel
      • 2015-02-22 05300, 2015

      • plapable
        thanks for your help
      • 2015-02-22 05301, 2015

      • plapable
        the bug reporting section doesn't indicate that you need a different password
      • 2015-02-22 05335, 2015

      • plapable
        but the (main?) site says I'm logged in now
      • 2015-02-22 05358, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        OK, so your password worked?
      • 2015-02-22 05327, 2015

      • plapable
        I just followed the old link again from the reply email
      • 2015-02-22 05332, 2015

      • plapable
        yes
      • 2015-02-22 05308, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        OK
      • 2015-02-22 05308, 2015

      • plapable
        still can't finish the editing process
      • 2015-02-22 05314, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Hmm
      • 2015-02-22 05348, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Did you enter a note?
      • 2015-02-22 05358, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Some edits require you to enter a note
      • 2015-02-22 05333, 2015

      • plapable
        I put one in the text box, but there's no way to save or enter or finalize in any way
      • 2015-02-22 05352, 2015

      • plapable
        the "enter edit" button is greyed
      • 2015-02-22 05357, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Hmm, I think I may have run across this issue in the past
      • 2015-02-22 05351, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        What kind of edits did you make?
      • 2015-02-22 05306, 2015

      • plapable
        It's a whole new release
      • 2015-02-22 05328, 2015

      • plapable
        Info copied from the physical DVD
      • 2015-02-22 05330, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        and you say if you go back to the first tab you lose everything?
      • 2015-02-22 05334, 2015

      • plapable
        sorry, CD
      • 2015-02-22 05349, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        (the 'release info' tab, that is)
      • 2015-02-22 05313, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        That shouldn't happen
      • 2015-02-22 05344, 2015

      • plapable
        I don't know, I'm dizzy from running in circles.
      • 2015-02-22 05356, 2015

      • plapable
        It's all gone now because I logged out
      • 2015-02-22 05317, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        we've all been there, sorry for the frustration. you logged out again?
      • 2015-02-22 05340, 2015

      • plapable
        if I go to "All my Edits" there's nothing
      • 2015-02-22 05350, 2015

      • plapable
        I'm logged in now
      • 2015-02-22 05351, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        That's because the edits weren't entered
      • 2015-02-22 05324, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        I have a hunch. It's possible that you entered text in the artist field but didn't select a match. So the field had text, but was grey rather than green.

      • 2015-02-22 05348, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        I'm pretty sure that would prevent you from entering an 'add release' edit.
      • 2015-02-22 05326, 2015

      • plapable
        no, i selected a match and each field turned green (I think)
      • 2015-02-22 05339, 2015

      • plapable
        maybe blue
      • 2015-02-22 05326, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        huh. could be a bug. could be one time error? if you have any patience left to try again, we can try to talk you through the landing.
      • 2015-02-22 05321, 2015

      • plapable
        Success! It went through, finally.
      • 2015-02-22 05335, 2015

        Does CAA uploading work for everyone else right now?
      • 2015-02-22 05347, 2015

      • KRS-Cuan
        It hasn't worked for me in a month, though I just found out that was due to an extension's reckless blocking behavior.
      • 2015-02-22 05331, 2015

      • 2015-02-22 05347, 2015

      • KRS-Cuan
        Privacy Badger is the likely culprit.
      • 2015-02-22 05311, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        I have that but it hasn't blocked the CAA
      • 2015-02-22 05326, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Maybe you have tighter settings on it than I do?
      • 2015-02-22 05320, 2015

      • KRS-Cuan
        It had blocked s3.us.archive.org, but I disabled it completely on MBz now.

      • 2015-02-22 05312, 2015

      • KRS-Cuan
        Oh, no longer displays that with PB disabled, but uploading still fails.

      • 2015-02-22 05354, 2015

      • KRS-Cuan
        Because stand-alone recordings are just recordings. Recordings have no dates.
      • 2015-02-22 05311, 2015

      • KRS-Cuan
        Nyanko-sensei: Not for release dates.

      • Nyanko-sensei
        oh
      • 2015-02-22 05321, 2015

      • Nyanko-sensei
        I add single songs as digital singles if they're digital
      • 2015-02-22 05356, 2015

      • Nyanko-sensei
        most of the songs I get are on CDs tho, because :japan: still uses CDs everywhere
      • 2015-02-22 05356, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        If they're released someplace like iTunes or Bandcamp?
      • 2015-02-22 05303, 2015

      • KRS-Cuan
        Stand-alone recordings are mainly for stuff that was not formally released.
      • 2015-02-22 05305, 2015

      • Nyanko-sensei
        or soundcloud
      • 2015-02-22 05314, 2015

      • KRS-Cuan
        E.g. files just put on the artist's web server.
      • 2015-02-22 05318, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        If it's just some mashup someone uploaded to YouTube, I usually add that as a standalone recording
      • 2015-02-22 05308, 2015

      • Nyanko-sensei
        stuff on artist's website is oftentimes sort of single/other kind of release
      • 2015-02-22 05309, 2015

      • KRS-Cuan
        If there is more data and they were separately listed on a website or store, add a single instead.

        Just wondering, as it's more of a character rather than an artist
      • 2015-02-22 05352, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        You can use an artist credit for it
      • 2015-02-22 05312, 2015

      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Granted, we do credit releases to characters occasionally
      • 2015-02-22 05331, 2015

      • Nyanko-sensei
        mostly in anime stuff
      • 2015-02-22 05344, 2015

      • Nyanko-sensei
        because of drama CDs and character CDs
