It'll be back to normal in a few days, there's a backlog since I stopped some workers after a huge server load spike.

Strange -- I looked into the database for dangling artist credits and found 9 which linked to invalid artists. 5 of them were simply people mistyping IDs when updating artist links, so they're fixed now. That leaves 4 credits unaccounted for, and they belong to 2 artists. I'll have to investigate further.

Can entries be deleted during database repair?

It's possible. I have daily backups so I'll dig up a copy of the database from that time (the 2 affected entries are from mid-March).

I have noticed that on album pages, marking a link as inactive doesn't seem to do anything. I would expect the link to be hidden but it remains visible.

Also, since I'm posting in this thread, https links are still unsupported in the credit field for artist profile images.

I don't know if it's due to my upload speed nowadays which is pretty fast, but most of my scan uploads are not working well.
After refreshing the "Edit Covers page", some scans were uploaded twice while keeping the description i entered.
It also happened to some contributors... leaving scans sets incomplete because of this.

Fixed both issues.

Also improved the code that automatically grabs titles from links, it will still fail in some occasions but it should work a bit better.

When uploading scans, the scans stay in a perpetual load state / loading image until you refresh the page.

Yeah, it's the same for artist images too. Seems to have started some time in the last month.



EDIT
Weird visual bug on an artist page: https://vgmdb.net/artist/1827

Her page was linked to a now-deleted unit. The deletion caused a random to be left between the other units. No way to remove it.

The unit was also linked to this artist, though it hasn't effected his page yet.

Just to double check, you're:
  1. Going to your wishlist
  2. Hitting "Manage Wish List" in the upper right
  3. Changing prices or notes and then hitting "Submit Changes" while "Edit Fields" is selected in the lower left to edit details
  4. Selecting checkboxes and then hitting "Submit Changes" while "Remove from Wish List" is selected to delete items
Asking because this does all work for me, so if it doesn't work for you then it seems there's something going wrong with your wishlist specifically.

Yes I am doing all that, it was working just fine up until a month ago. I thought maybe it was just my computer acting weird so I tried on my phone and ipad as well and they both dont work either. Seems like its just an error I'm getting. D:

It looks like this upload bug is still existing, regardless of upload speed and how many scans I queue to upload at once.
We have to be careful to upload several scans for now.

I am experiencing something new:

Everytime i upload a cover, it resets my Category Preference.
(ex: it is set to "Game" green check, after i upload a cover, it's gone )

edit: more infos:
It only reset the "Category" preference, other options (Album Color Coding, Publisher Type...) does NOT reset.
This only happens after i upload a cover, not when i add albums, link artists...

This started about two weeks ago: Whenever I uploaded a new scan and then refreshed the page it would log me out. Anyone know what's up with that?

I tried uploading a scan, but I was unable to reproduce either of these problems. What happens if you clear the cookies (even juust the VGMdb ones)?

Does it happen with both the Flash uploader and the non-flash one?

I deleted my vgmdb cookies, it does not change anything, uploading a cover resets my preferences.

Only happens with the Flash uploader.
The other (unbearable) method does not reset my prefereces.

It must be a Flash problem, when I do it old fashioned way it works fine.

Don't know if someone did a change on the website or if it is on my side....
but my problem with uploading covers is now gone.

Is there any plan to change the upload system anyway ?
Flash is deprecated.

Today I've had some serious problems trying to add scans.
Since Firefox doesn't support Flash anymore I had to use to "I can't use Flash or Javascript" way. When I added a file for all 5 boxes and pressed "Add Covers" I'd always get an error message about something like "File size too big" but none of the files were bigger than 5MB. After that I had to delete the cookies since I couldn't remove the chosen files from the boxes anymore.

Uploading a scan one at a time worked for me again. But then again, when I choose "Booklet" and added "p. 01-02" manually, it resulted in "Booklet pg. p. 01-02".

After that I tried Bing where I still can use Flash but after uploading a few files and refreshing the page not only was I suddenly logged out but also all captions were deleted. See here.
Didn't try Chrome.

I hope the upload system is gonna be revamped at some point.

This essentially refers to the image size actually. There is an upper limit on the number of pixels the server can handle. Try resizing the image. See e.g. https://vgmdb.net/forums/showpost.ph...8&postcount=52

As I already wrote in the same post, I didn't have any problems uploading the files when I used the flash driven upload option in Bing. So the files or file size was not the issue here. (I didn't change anything about them)

Keep in mind that the Flash-based version may have put in a different restriction than the HTML-based version, so it's still possible if it actually warned you about the file size. That is, the restriction may just be on the front-end.

The work numbers for the same artist names in the linking page is incorrect. Is this a bug? For example

Yuji Yoshida
Red box shows ID:25704 16works / ID:26177 0works
Artist page shows ID:25704 25works / ID:26177 1works

Koji Morimoto
Red box shows ID:21619 103works / ID:21607 0works
Artist page shows ID:21619 111works / ID:21607 1works

It's the number of works for just the role you're linking them as.

It could definitely be worded differently, but didn't want to make the input bigger than it already is.

All the recents changes might have broke the More link (100 latests added albums), on the front page.
Here are my results now:



edit: seems broke with category filters, but works fine without.
