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?

What is your browser and encoding? Test: Ñ? менÑ? Ñ?абоÑ?аеÑ?.

Ivan, i've recently experienced that with all non-english characters...Using IE and Unicode encoding.
Yes, they are unrecognized either.

There is no set amount. Every once in a while a Staff member goes over the list and handles a couple of suggestions (rejects/accepts).

Why is it taking so long to check an event I added more than a month ago? I submitted the entry for Occultfest on the 27th of May, and it still says it has to be checked. I created a thread with the same question this morning, where Bad English said it usually takes a couple of days...

Someone enquiring about their edits. Take a drink.

It can take anywhere from a few days to a long time. We have a lot of edits to go through, simple as that. This isn't our day job so naturally it's not something we spend all our free time doing. It will get done when it gets done.

Depending on how busy we are, it can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of months to get through the amount of pending edits. Reviews, events, and news tend to get accepted a lot faster based on how easy it is to find the information online.

Band profiles (discogs, line-ups, etc.) are much harder because 90% of editors source Metal-Archives and Wikipedia so it takes extra time to look for official sources, making an already long process that much longer. Basically the more information you provide, and the more concrete the evidence you give, the quicker your edit will be accepted.

Thanks for your answers. I myself used to do staffduty's for events for a Dutch site and I know how busy it can get, especially when users give very little amounts of information. I didn't mean to critice or something like that, I was just wondering how long it usually takes and if something went wrong with the event.

I'll just take a drink (Thank you Doc, I like your doctoring style ), sit back and wait.:cool:

No offense taken - I just thought I'd clarify on top of what Doc already said about pending edits, that there is a reason they take time (but obviously you know that, so I'm preaching to the choir).

I see a lot of pics in this website and they have a decent size but the pics I try to upload always look weird. Could anyone help me with this? I have a normal pic, I resized it but it still looks either too small or too big to post on my profile. There must be a trick.

they dont resize automatically which is a shame. But yeah I'll try to figure it out, it would just be easier if someone would tell me cuz i wouldn't have to look for it.

I think it is. I was quoted three times in that thread (received notifications) but couldn't access the topic anymore. I think the user himself deleted it?

I have no idea what the last few posts in the topic were, because I logged in only after it was deleted, but I do apologize for starting the derailing of the topic. Although I had no such intention with my first post. I should've known better that no matter where, bringing in the GaGa diverts all attention.

I also told you to elaborate on the opening post, so if you recreate the topic, please make sure you read the FAQ and follow the rules of posting.
