As announced in the news, we kindly ask you to report anything odd about the site that you think is new or want to bring up again here.

There are a few issues we already know about.

• The search function sometimes returns less results than before
  
• Lists may have to be-relinked and some band tags may have stopped working
  

Feel free to bring anything else up here. We'll look into it and fix as necessary.

A minor issue, but voting for an album causes the overall score and total votes cast to disappear. Refreshing the page seems to fix this.

Placing an asterisk within square brackets now yields quotation marks rather than a bullet.

Edit album collection --> edit Media --> the change is reported as done, but it has not actually happened.

The edit button in "My posts" and "New posts" has vanished.

I can add new albums in review queue, but I can't alter the priority

fixed. Vote counts work again, too.

The dropdown list "band" in news_edit.php is dysfunctional.

Fixed. You'll have to put up with the slow list for a while longer though

Fixed. You mave have to go back and fix the albums you had this problem with manually, though.

Flood control: minimum interval between shouts is 30 secs.

I can't use shout box multiple times, only after someone else has used it

I know you're already aware of the emojis appearing in reviews for places where there was a quotation mark followed by a closed bracked - ") - I've also noticed it happening with colon followed by P, (Operation: Pharoah, without the space, turning into a tongue sticking out face), and also "D turning into a grinning face - I've gone through all my 2022 reviews, gone into edit and published without making changes, and it erased all of them except the tongue face, but since that took about 20 minutes for 160-odd reviews, it would be a godsend if there's a way to automate it so we don't have to do the same for 17k reviews

Online status on profile is wrong for ca 1 hour.

That is a pretty easy change to revert. It goes back to Starvynth's request to make multiple consecutive emoji possible. I can revert that at any point but it'll lead to the old emoji problem re-appearing.

I'm not sure what you mean as the query was user-id bound but I re-wrote it anyway.

Now all works

Hey,
The RSS feed got fucked, I believe.

Quote:
line 1, column 36: XML parsing error: <unknown>:1:36: XML declaration not well-formed

The line is:

Quote:
xml version="1.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" encoding="utf-8"

You need to change http to https and it should work.

Albums don't show the 'lineup' gray line above the members.
Guest musicians and additional info appear though.

The protocol scheme didn't have anything to do with the validation issues at all. Our feed generator declared the atom namespace in the wrong tag.

I re-generated all feeds. They all validate according to the w3c feed validator now. There are still issues with the description field apparently not being correctly escaped but I'm triaging here and that'll have to wait until later.

We were also (originally intentionally) abusing the author field by putting in MS usernames instead of e-mail addresses. I switched that out to dc:creator. Let me know whether or not that shows up in your aggregator please

That's why I suggested to extend the emoji table by adding a preceding blank space to each key sequence. I was not talking about the text interpreter that displays emojis, but about the table that inserts the sequence of characters into your text in the moment you pick an emoji from the list.
I believe this would not affect old posts and articles, instead it would inhibit an invasion of broken emojis in new comments and that's all I wanted.

Yup, it works now! (I use Thunderbird RSS functionality)
Thank you, great work!

You got it.

Sometimes adding a similar band adds a totally different one. Here, adding Inferi points actually adds points for Soilwork.
