Two Suggestions for Your Consideration
Hello, I really like this site and use it alot. So, up for your consideration is two minor ideas that, I personally, would find kinda' nice. Take 'em or leave 'em, either way, this is still an awesome site.
1) I've noticed, when viewing albums, that the info such as the composer and the "arranged by" staff and whatnot is center aligned. Perhaps this is a preference thing, but sometimes I think it looks confusing when I'm trying to pick out who is who from a wild list of composers and arrangers. Personally, I would start the list of composers directly to the right of where is says composers and do the same for the arranged artists etc. I mean, it's not a big deal, I just thought it would look a bit more polished. 2) Umm, this might be a total pain to implement, and perhaps not very useful to alot of people, but I think it would be cool. I would like to be able to enter album numbers into my collection which are not yet added to the data-base. You know, just type them in and have them show up in my collection... wherever... just the catalogue number. The purpose being that sometimes I lose track of an album that doesn't seem to have an entry and even if it is entered in the data-base later, I wouldn't even think to look for it. Perhaps, if such a thing did exist, a little program could send out notifications if your album number was added. Like I said, that could be alot of work for very little pay off. Honestly, I don't really know what all goes into an operation like this behind the scenes. So take these ideas and use them, don't use them, make fun of them, delete them... whatever you want to do. I wish I could actually help with the site, but I'm so ill suited for the task that I think picking from the sidelines is the best I can do. Anyway, any thoughts? |

Hrm, perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my explanation as I lack the vernacular to express myself properly in formatty ways.
Let's take the following soundtrack. http://vgmdb.net/album/2002 Now, vertical alignment looks good like you say... but I'm not seeing the horizontal alignment that you claim. For example, Yoshio Ueno appears above the "Composed by" text box (within its vertical column), while Yoshiko Yamaguchi appears below it. Having composers both above and below the "Composed by" placeholder is what I mean by center alignment. Is this not your experience? How 'bout if you shrink your window? Again, it could be that there is a good reason for why things are the way they are. I just don't know it. Also, it could be that my experience is singular in nature, but I like to think that I'm just not that special. As for point two... of course writing down the catalog numbers would work, but for that matter we could all just write down our entire collections and maintain the list ourselves... That would work, but it's not the ideal. The point isn't what would work, but what might work better. |

I see what you mean about the spacing. The album pages can probably use a little tweaking (plus we need a way to start displaying other roles like lyricist.)
As for point two, the solution is simple. Add the albums that are missing. We grow by user submission. |

I do not do anime, but if there's really so much VGM albums missing, you can send me the catalog numbers (or at least a few informations) of the albums missing on the database in a private message.
I'll try to add them myself. Or you can try to submit them yourself, like SS said, submissions are public and everyone can contribute. On a side note, staff will correct/complete (at best as they can) errors if you are not able to send complete informations. Last edited by Myrkul; Apr 13, 2010 at 08:25 AM. |

Code:
vertical-align: top; text-align: right; |

This part of the code is still old-school tables.
Anyway, I added the vertical aligns to the row. Let's see how that looks on various albums. |

Some stylish: Code:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml); @-moz-document domain("vgmdb.net") { #album_infobit_large td[nowrap="nowrap"] { text-align: right !important; } #album_infobit_large td { vertical-align: top !important; } } Last edited by Ira; Apr 13, 2010 at 10:28 AM. |

I had to propagate the valign:top to all the fields to prevent some weird spacing. I don't like the result. Is there a way to center align the first line of text in the left column with the first line of text in the right column, and let the remaining lines in the 2nd column follow as they will?

Was changing the updates list as well intentional?

Updates list shouldn't have changed, but I took all my edits out since I didn't like the result.

Yeah, it was just a bug on my end.

I'm using Firefox and I don't see any changes. However, I also agree that the data in the cells should be aligned to the top.

That's because I reversed my changes.
I pretty much failed at this, because making that change altered the spacing in a way that it didn't look so great (probably because the font sizes differ in the two columns.) I'm sure something better is possible though. |
