Upcoming Site Tweak

posted by Gigablah Aug 7, 2008 01:49 AM (7 comments)
By the weekend, I'll be moving the album pages over to the new URL format http://vgmdb.net/album/####. At the same time, gallery pages will be merged into the main album page, and all old gallery links will be redirected. I figured there's no need to have two separate indexes considering gallery pages receive far less views compared to album pages, and they contain mostly the same information anyway.

Update: New album URLs are active. Please report any errors you find.
Update 2: Gallery view has been restored to the right column. It should work more or less the same way the old gallery pages did.

Site Design Update

Since the old header design was getting rather cramped and showed discrepancies when you moved between the main site and forums, I've done a moderate redesign. All the old links are still there, just ordered and grouped differently. The main navigation row now consists of all the information listings, while the peripheral tools have been moved to the smaller bar. Also, note the links at the top right -- they alternate between login / register for guests, and member menu / logout for logged in members. A feature I plan to add soon is a flashing email icon that appears beside your username if you have unread private messages. Let me know what you think of the changes!

Regarding the index page, do you think a uniform background color would look better, or the rounded box is fine as it is? Indicate your preference in the poll and I'll make the adjustments accordingly.

New index, shorter URLs for artist pages

We finally have a proper index page! It bears much similarity to a certain search engine...

Also, artist pages have now been moved to the format vgmdb.net/artist/number, and all the old addresses will automatically redirect there. We're rolling this out in stages, so the other content pages -- albums, browse lists -- will get moved at a later date.

As usual, do report any anomalies you find (such as broken links or images).

Artist Profile Updates

Artist discographies can now be separated into two parts, original discography and featured work. Featured work refers to derivative albums (particularly doujins) that include arranged or remixed tracks without the involvement of the original composer. Moreover, ratings for featured work are not tallied into an artist's weighted album rating. Staff can designate an artist credit as "featured" in the artist assignment interface using the checkbox next to the role selection dropdown.

Refback links next to the visitor counter are now active on both album and artist pages, so you can click on them if available to display a list of incoming URLs.
