Question: Kirk Hammett played on the latest K'Naan album and I wanted to add that to his profile, but I am not sure how to. Could someone please help me out?

I think there is a bug displaying non-english punctuation on personal messages.
Sent a message with characters like ç / é / ê and they appear messed up (replaced with sutff like é / Ã? / ès). Wasn't the case before the website update.

Is it possible to filter albums with "invisible band" albums included? There was a check-box like "with invisible bands" before, but I can't find it now

UPDATE. I've found it, finally

If someone deletes his own comment (like VIG, who deletes his a lot), it still counts on his post counter. Say if you delete a post of yours you still stay with 153. (great hint for Bad English to boost up his count)
The post which does not show is then counted among the ignored ones.

I am not sure but if the user deletes his account I think it happens likewise

Is there a way to add just one (later announced) date to a tour on MS? Asking for a friend.

Specifically, Maiden added a second Finnish date for next week on their upcoming Legacy of the Beast tour.

Said friend might be attending.

Question: What is the difference between "I have it" and "I just got it" in the Collection dropdown? Does "I just got it" become "I have it" after a certain time period expires?

Yes, "I just got it" immediately transforms to "I have it". The only difference is that "I just got it" saves the date of your purchase.

Can someone provide reliable information how many active MS users are still around?
active = online at least once in a period of 60 days or something like that
And in comparison the amount of registered but unactive users would be nice to know, too.

I am a) just curious and b) wondering where all those countless, ancient topics come from (while I hardly see people posting nowadays)

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot!
But as quite a bunch of Metalstormers checked "Appear offline" in the settings this list doesn't really show what I was looking for.
Anyway, I didn't expect 88067 users, that quantity is quite impressive.

Yeah that feature has its goods but we still lack a way of quantifying actual regular users. For instance, some of those could have logged in in the last hour and then will never login again.

An interesting side analysis is sorting users by points and posts in the same page.
If you go to say page 100 after sorting by posts, the users will be seen as having only 4 posts. Keeping in mind that 50 users are displayed per page it means out of the 88000 users, only 5000 have ever posted more than four times in the site.

Similarly, after sorting by community points you see the counter starts being displayed as 0 for users after the 89th page, which means less than 4500 of the total users have ever contributed with anything in their entire site time.

I've been having a problem with adding/editing stuff on here. When clicking the 'Submit' button I just get a white screen instead of the "Thanks, your submission must now get checked before appearing..."

Does anybody know what's that about? I've been fiddling with the 'Site settings' in the browser (Chrome), but I can't seem to get it to work.

While it is a separate album, it really isn't. On bandcamp they stated "Bonus CD from the DOR album" and I read the following statement as well: "A little treat has been already been sent to those who have ordered the limited box, please check your spam folder too!!"
This tells me that the bonus album is just that - a bonus for those who bought the limited version of Dor.
