It should be member/email activation. If the forum upgrade does what it says on the tin, known spambot IP's and emails should be automatically banned now. I just changed it myself, we need to test run it to know.

Also, you will notice that all pages URLs / addresses has been updated.
Example : www.metalmusicarchives.com/metallica.aspx is now www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/metallica Old links should work and redirect the browser to the new address names.

Nice upgrade, M@x and graphix!
One bug I noticed -- on every artist page, even if the band in question has released no DVD's, there are reviews for other bands appearing under the "Movies Reviews" section. A band that I just added (http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/averse-concept) has reviews for DVD's by Dream Theater and Tool appearing under this heading. |

The new font doesn't work properly, I see � instead of apostrophes, dashes or letters with accents.

File Manager's back but the upload folder is empty even though I had my avatar - among other things - there. Also, the icon of the forum page is a bunch of colorful squares instead of the usual MMA icon.

A bug: The latest three movie reviews are shown on every band site under the band's album reviews:
... And another, I get this when I try uploading a screenshot I took of it: 500 - Internal server error.There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. |

I can finally change artist images without a generic error page!
@M@x, forum spamming has been better since we changed the new users system that I told you about via Facebook. I see the upgrade is live now so hopefully we can return to the proper system.
This is much more useful than the old system. Nice one. Update: one bug related to this, when an artist has no videos a message to this effect appears in the video section of the profile: No SEDULITY online videos available. Search and add one now. The search and add one link doesn't work. Example: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/404.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/sedulity/add-video.aspx Edited by adg211288 - 06 Oct 2013 at 12:40am |

Add Video feature is finally back again (accessible via Artist page / Add Video in context menu).
The updated feature is more flexible than before. You can add any video you want to. First, You have to search on YouTube web site and copy/paste the YouTube video URL in the input textbox on MMA add video page. If any problem, report bugs here.

Sorry about your review lost, please consider writing your reviews previously in a text editor on your computer to prevent this in the future, we never know.
We only upgraded the website (discography part), the forum engine is next on the list of upgrades, hopefully forum spamming is in better control now ?!

I lost a review due to a "runtime error" that appeared after clicking on the "publish" button. I couldn't go back to the edit review page. I want two hours of my life back
Good to know you upgraded the site, though Does that mean the spamflood's over? |

Massive website upgrade happened Oct. 5, 2013
Most of this upgrade fix a hidden issue that was causing us problem with Google indexing the site and penalised us in the search ranking, thus dropping our traffic from 5000/day (last year) to around 1000 now. We may have the time to fix the ADD VIDEO feature too in the next hours / day. Please report bugs here for now.
Sorry if they occur but we'll take care of them quickly Edited by m@x - 02 Jul 2016 at 7:18am |
