Questions & Answers

Secondly, the thread loads really quickly for me (a couple of seconds per page). I can't see any issue, either on my PC or my phone.

I've just visited the main forum page for The Guardians & it took 32 seconds to completely load up so there's definitely something going on Ben, at least there is for me.

Like Ben, I have no issues with slow loading speeds on either tablet or laptop for most pages except for those under the "Releases" main tab, which can take 30 seconds or more.

Hi Sonny. I experienced something similar with one of my lists a while back, but I don't know what the cause is. I plan to bring all the site's platforms up to the latest versions in the coming months and hope that might stop the issues. If not, I'll get my developer to look into it. I know it's a pain, but lists with under 200 entries seem to be much more stable than those above that mark.

One day I plan to redesign the lists altogether to make it easier to add / remove entries from long lists while still maintaining the order.

No problem, Ben. It's not a big issue, but I thought I would let you know anyway.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Daniel. Please count me in for The Horde; I will be getting in touch with other playlist administrators soon.

ah well it seems I've since fixed them during that time. Thanks anyways!

No, it is not intended that anyone can rate releases 0 stars. I don't think it was always possible, so something must have changed at some point to allow it. I will ask my developer to fix.

In the meantime, I will delete any 0 star ratings that I see.

Well, it worked perfectly for my Meshuggah review.

Ah, that will explain it. I will update using my tablet in future as that has the app on it.

Sorted.

I wrote my Reign in Blood and South of Heaven reviews yesterday, and for some reason they're dated as having been published on the 22nd instead of the 31st.

Ben, I've just rated Godflesh's "Merciless" E.P. & after rating the cover artwork I noticed that both my rating & Andi's rating are being included under Clan Cover Rating as well as Site Cover Rating despite the fact that neither of us are a part of The Sphere. It'd be worth looking into that.

It's absolutely worth it. The loading speed of the homepage is incredibly quick now.

I like that idea, Sonny! That way, I wouldn't have to make a review to-do list anymore whenever I have so many releases that I plan on reviewing.

Yeah, go for it. I wish we could find a way to connect a release to multiple bands, but it’s not going to happen.

Good question. I'll put some together in the next couple of days.

Cheers!
