Album discussions: putting the forum to good use

[Gigablah]

Some of you should have noticed the Album Discussions subforum by now; that's the designated place for album-specific postings, whether to explain or dispute an edit, or just general commentary on album attributes, tracks, artists, stuff like that.

I've finished integrating the VGMdb interface with this forum, and you should be able to see the big fat link to the bottom right of each album viewing page which either brings you to the submission form if it's a new discussion, or to an existing one. You can also post messages to the discussion thread when you edit an album, via the message box just below the submit button. You will never need to create a thread manually; the system detects if a thread exists and either creates it or appends your message to the current one. (It will also create a new thread if the old one is moved, deleted or closed). Of course, you can reply to existing threads normally through the forum.

Now that we're getting quite an increase in submission activity, it'd be great if everyone makes extensive use of this feature to update each other of changes, post information sources, request clarification, and so on. Let's work together!

Note that you can still use the parent VGM discussion forum for more general topics.
