The "something isn't working (right)" thread.

“Add band to favorites” works in the sense that the band is added to your public profile and you receive all updates from that point on, but when editing your profile, the name no longer appears in the list. Instead, a blank line is inserted at the very end.

Fixed.

y u no link?

That is semi on purpose. Not to remove functionality, but because we're working on a new system for album images internally and there are some places on the site where clicking a small album cover is supposed to open a high-resolution version popup of said cover. This is one of those places. Technically, so is the "new releases" section, where the link is still there, though, so I can restore it here as well for now.

Ah gotcha, I thought it might have been something like that. Cool to hear and thanks for getting back. I think I can manage without with the workaround I posted above. That said, if you ever get time to implement an “add all to wishlist” or even a “add this to wishlist” button from the updates page that would be amazing and would remove the need to click those links anyway.

Hello. It seems that I can't create a new list, there's no confirmation button anywhere. It's the same in the mobile version.https://imgur.com/a/UYMJ8Se

Half of my lists have their text offset by a line or two (only the visible list, everything looks fine in the editor) and when I try to edit them it gives me an error message (here, here, here, here, and here)

I don't see any vertical offset anywhere. But the error is fixed.

I may not have worded it properly, what I meant is that the text that's supposed to be on one line end up on another line below.
Your fix worked for three of the lists but this one and this one are still broken

It didn't have to, but you have to re-save them. I did that for both these lists and now they look good.

For the record, I had to ask other staff what you were talking about here. From your description I was looking for layout issues, not data issues. Otherwise I could have told you to re-save right away. I didn't even make any changes to the linker yesterday, what fixed it was you editing them.

My bad, thank you for the fix!

Are articles supposed to have a serif font? I noticed this a few days ago, and it seems like only stuff like reviews, news items, or actually just anything with the `article` element is now using font 'Georga, Times New Roman, serif'. All other elements, such as comments or band pages are in 'Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif'.

Are articles supposed to have a serif font?

Yes. They also have increased font size, more foreground to background contrast, and slightly increased line height. All of that for better readability of anything long form.

Same reason we limit text width and center it now. We're separating editorial from other content and present it as any other written publication would.

Hovering over hyperlinks (e.g. album or artist) in the text of a review on the homepage no longer displays a popup of said hyperlink.

Because the whole thing is a link. It's not possible to put a link inside another link.

I can not open musician page, its blank no matter what browser I use

Because it doesn't have a Youtube link. Your chance to add one.

Edit: Still good call, though. I made some changes to the page to make this situation clearer.

Thanks! I was puzzled because thumbnail was there but all it did was reload the page.
Will see what I can do to fix this one but thanks for looking into.

When I want to add an album to my lists, the arrow where you have to click on it to add it from the collection doesn't work. Maybe it's only me because I didn't see anybody else talk about it.

Another thing is that when I want to modify a list (in the editor) I want to make my life easier so I use a lot ctrl f. But since the update I can do it only for the elements of before the update. But what I add after it only works when I see it on my screen, which has no point because if I need this shortcut it's to find something in big lists that I can't see.
