Micro-code: 1. sounds like the character encoding is screwed up. this is not happening on any gendou.com song files, is it? 2. neat idea, but synchronizing the lyrics is not feasible. static lyrics not quite feasible either, since the wiki is editable. 3. sure. please don't check the server more frequently than once per minute. Satrap: 1. it can be, but i won't likely do it unless there's a very serious quality issue. 2. i prefer to use VBR averaging 167kbps. minimum is 128kbps, maximum is 200kbps. 3. many copies of a song are uploaded. i use my judgment to pick the right one to post online.

Something I recently found out with the search bar... Originally, long ago, when you would type in a word for example, it would bring up threads that contained that word in its title. Then a few months (maybe a year) ago you changed it to how it currently is, where you type in a word, and it brings up threads that have that word as the first word ("title starts with"). But recently I noticed that when you type in a word for a thread, for example "Q/A," (using this thread), threads that have "Q/A," would not come up in the search results. Something like this. But if you type in the entire thread title exactly (including blink code), you get the results. Now before, it would work and it would bring up those search results, but now it seems that you have to type out the entire thread title exactly for its search results to appear. I was just wondering if you actually changed it that way so you would have to type out the entire exact thread title.

I am aware that the forum search is in desperate need of repair. Sorry.

can the music filter add a function in which it is categorized by the number of total votes a song has because songs with more votes are usually more popular and better? also because people wouldn't rather vote for a song they disliked.  |

Naw, you can sort it by clicks for that.

If I have some school assignment, can I gather data from gendou.com? maybe using this web user as my 'subject'? (I'm in social class)  |

Question: Are mobile-released songs considered 'released'? The song in question is 'kioku' by Younha. (Rideback ED). I have the full version of the song, not great quality but audible. The song has been distributed on Yahoo keitai and elsewhere, but there's no CD release for the single even announced, nor is it on her latest album. Info: http://www.younha.jp/download.html#kioku So, shall I upload it or not? |

For now, I will consider a song released when the CD has been released.

Is the font supposed to be black when we type in the search bar and quick reply box? Cause it makes it harder to see with the background being almost as dark, too.

DA, can you post a screen shot? Maybe I can fix this problem in the CSS.

Quick reply: Post reply:  Search bar (forum):  I highlighted that part because the background was exactly the same color. Others that I didn't provide that have the same issue is the music search bar, and I even checked out the similar issue with editing/add lyrics and whatnot. Seems to have affected all these related features of the site. [edit] Editing a post has the same issue, as well as the entire edit profile page.

It seems like your form inputs have a bad background color. I added the CSS: form input { background-color: #FFFFFF; } Tell me if it's better now.

Quick reply, post reply, modify post, edit profile (signature, about me), edit lyrics are all the same still. Music search seems fixed, but the two drop menus in the forum search are still the same. However, the two outside functions are fine.

I'll be starting my Website Administration program in college about 2 months from now, so I'm interested to know this. What are the main types of work you do on this site? I realize that you did all the coding, and you fix problems as they crop up, but what other things do you have to deal with on a regular basis in order to keep this site up and running?    |

When things go smoothly, all I have to do is upload songs, and deal with people. Dealing with problems happens every once in a while, like server outages, or bugs to fix. Gotta pay the bills, that keeps the site running, lol.

I see. So it's pretty lax once everything is in place, except for the occasional bug. Thanks. |

When server software us upgraded or changed, it can cause problems. The best way to avoid this is to write good code that can adapt easily to a changed environment.

Re: Q/A, all about

Essentially as long as you write a website up to standards and keep things relatively inside the box, any time a software upgrade happens, withstanding some REALLY oddly put together Apache or CF setups, you should have little to no site breakage, and when you do it's because something's been removed from language standards. I tend to stick to basic PHP and HTML on my sites if I can help it, sticking within 5.0's boundaries. |

Seraphna, that works in theory. However, as a rule, when things break, they break unexpectedly. For example, my web host just screwed up my /mnt/backup directory, which broke uploads, since I archive them on the backup file server to make efficient use of space. I had to fix things by myself for the time being!
