Do I still have to have 100 posts to be able to create topics, even if I have been a member for over one month?

You have to be registered for over 30 days. Today is your 30th day, so tomorrow you will be able to create topics; February has only 28 days.

Wow, I suddenly feel really stupid! Thanks for the answer!

@Bad English, nope, I don't post as much as you, so 400 posts is a bit out of reach for me still.

I can, but I don't see the point of posting just for the sake of posting. Waste of time to write something if it's not worth saying Isn't that just spam? And we don't like spam, do we?

It seems that when the first thread on a subforum has a post I didn't read, then it is marked with the green square, that one that means with unread post or something like that... right?
However, if there is more than one thread with posts I didn't read, say 2, on the same subforum, and if I click on just the second and read it, and leave the first one unread, then when I go back to the forum index, the square is marked as white. Shouldn't it remain green? Or it was meant that way?

You mean when you read the second thread and not the first, the first turns white anyway?

Not the thread icon, but the icon of the subforum as a whole, on the forum index turns white.

Oh, ya. Not sure if that was the intention, but that's how it's been for as long as I can remember. It's meant to indicate that you've opened/read that subforum's latest topic, but the individual topics you haven't read will still be left green.

I see, it's probably mean to then.
Anyway it's a bit strange. It seems like the icon was green because I hadn't read something but then I go and leave with something unread and it's suddenly white hehe
Well, but it's ok.

I imagine it works like that because otherwise you'd have to read every single topic in the subforum in order for that main forum index to show white. Which could be annoying for some since some of the subforums have a gajillion topics in them.

It's actually got a reasonable explanation. Green topic icon becomes white when you visit it. Following the same logic, green subforum icon becomes white when you visit the subforum (you don't actually have to visit any topics in it). Basically green means that there are new posts in the topic or the subforum after your last visit to the topic or the subforum respectively, not that there are posts or topics still unread.

Why do I get notifications that bands that I voted for in the suggestion thingy have been added to the site when I didn't vote for them and haven't even heard of them?

I received PMs from two users in the last week citing the same problem. My response was that it's been so long since some of the suggestions were added, you might have given it a +1 without remembering. One of the bands I added was suggested in 2011.

If it's really a case of you not ever voting for the band, then I don't have an answer for you.

I hade a same. I didn't remember when I cluck +1 but then I remember I did it was favore to some who send me PM and ask do it ,

Also some of us have had space out moments and clicked the +1 box accidentally trying to open the comments thinking the + meant "expand." I remember people chatting about it in the shoutbox a few times over the years, and I've done it a few times.

Not trying to call anyone spacey, but maybe that was it?

band has one album and one split EP
why when I try add new video (read a news) I can choose only album, not split ep

It's a "bug" of sorts. The split album was added under Anguish's profile first, so it appears as "their" album.

On the same subject, let's say the general metal subforum has a green icon, meaning there are topics with new posts I didn't read, and let's say there are two of such topics. On one of those, namely the topic that has the newest unread post, the post I din't read was made by someone who quoted me, so i receive a notification.
Then I go to my notifications and click on it, and open the topic through there, therefore checking that unread post and thus making the topic icon white. However I haven't gone to the other topic which also had an unread post, because I went through my notifications and not through clicking on the subforum.

Even then, when I switch to the forum again I observed that the subforum icon turns white. Because I checked the post on the last topic. But it's strange, because I didn't visit it. And even left something new on it that I haven't read since I last visited the subforum.

(yeah, I know, I pay attention to some useless stuff...)

The Wooden Stake compilation lists one of the eps as a demo/MCD (mini cd, I assume). Does it still count as an ep or is it a demo?

Vampire Plague Excorsism is a demo. It was released on mcd format by Hexamorphosis Productions which is a sub label of Razorback (which is run by Wooden Stake's Vanessa Nocera and her husband) and has as far as I know only released this demo, so can be regarded as self-released and it was only limited to 100 copies which is normal amount for a demo but not for a normal mcd.

I remember the band calling it a demo themselves at the time.

Like k7 said, we always had the earliest release date and mention other releases in the additional info section. If you ever see something like that (where a 15 should be a 12, for instance) feel free to edit it.
