How often is the Disco Records A-Z updated?

**Funky Dude** · October 6th, 2003, 01:17 AM

Here's a question to Bernie. Just wondering out of curiosity, how often is the Disco Records A-Z updated at average?

I've added a couple of records 2 days back which are:

7" Eruption - Let Me Take You Back In Time/Funky Lover 1975
7" The Studs - Funky Feet/Disco Death 1977 (Australian group)

Looking forward to seeing them added. And URL for the pictures are from my 10mb webspace on 1earth where I use to have my Countdown website. Scans from my personal record collection :D .

Funky,

I must apologize as it seems several submissions from you and others this past weekend did not go through. eFunk sent me an e-mail letting me know his subs didn't go through. Anything from before Friday is fine and is now in the Vault as I went through all new subs and put them live. It's just from Saturday on that a problem has surfaced.

Did you guys notice anything odd or did you receive an error after submitting? Still working on bugs here and there so let me know if you notice any strangeness.

Could you and anyone else who submitted records Saturday and Sunday please try again? Thanks and sorry about the problems.

Ahh yes I have noticed errors when posting and even going to areas on the site which was a small text error message at the top left of the screen which I think had "BB" in it or something like that. Put it this way, the error messages were really giving me the shits, I was swearing and cursing hehehehe :lol: .

Anyhow I'll re-submit the records again and see what happens.

**K-Bee** · October 6th, 2003, 11:17 AM

yes - I was briefly discussing his with efunk just yesterday and it seems we're having the same problem.
After hitting the submit button, I was taken to the "advanced search" page for some odd reason. I did recieve no confirmation for my added entry so i reckon it got lost in the proces.
It did work just fine on friday - I'll try again later and hope for the best this time around. :)

**Bernie** · October 6th, 2003, 11:49 AM

Hi guys,

Sorry about that. Don't know what it is, but I'm working behind the scenes to see what it is. If you get errors or strangeness of any kind please be as descriptive of the error message as possible so I can track it down. I put through 3 test submission and they came out just fine so try again and let me know what happens. Thanks.

Wow. I saw that top 500 list and assumed it was the second top 500 we did. I saw all those Donna songs in the top spot so I just ignored it. So this one is the latest and greatest? That sucks! I have to believe the vote was corrupted by that Donna fanatics again. I think the original vote is probably more reflective of the members here.

**Bernie** · October 6th, 2003, 12:10 PM

Paul,

Huh :-? What are you referring to? There is no new Top 500 list. Just the same two lists as always. The original from 2000 and the one from late last year that is labeled as 2003 that was messed up by the Donna Summer voters. The voting deadline for the next edition passed back in August and that won't be compiled until New Years or later. I hope that clears up any confusion.

**paul** · October 6th, 2003, 12:32 PM

Never mind :oops:
Thanks for waking me up Bernie.

**Funky Dude** · October 7th, 2003, 07:40 PM

Crikey! I thought it WAS the 2003 top 500 as I actually thought the songs were at different positions on the charts. It looked familiar with the Donna Summer hits taking the first 4 positions. Anyhow looking forward to when the 2003 top 500 comes about.

Believe it or not.... it happened again... when you hit the preview button to look for any typos.. it goes to that advanced search screen. That is the screen I am talking about.. I just submitted some Cerrone info for Love In C Minor... I wonder if it's lost?

Well there we go... You never mentioned that you were going to the preview screen. I along with another visitor was able to submit entries with no problems, but we didn't choose the preview option.

Please try submitting again without clicking on preview until I can look into it further.

**Bernie** · October 7th, 2003, 10:11 PM

Okay, I just went and made a test submission and used the preview option and everything was fine and the sub went through without a hitch.

I would recommend for starters that you clear your browser's cache and delete any cookies from discomusic.com and try again. Let me know your results. Sorry for the hassles with the new system, but I am hard at work trying to correct it. Thanks for putting up with this.

OK Bernie,

I tried deleting cookies & tried re entering Cerrone information & it worked. I sent a Picture of the record on Oct. 6, hopefully you saved the info. :)

**Bernie** · October 8th, 2003, 07:33 AM

Efunk,

Received your subs as well as K-Bees. They are all in the Vault. Thanks!

**Funky Dude** · October 8th, 2003, 03:00 PM

Just was wondering Bernie if you received my submissions of the two 7"s:

Eruption - Let Me Take You Back In Time/Funky Lover 1975
The Studs - Funky Feet/Disco Death 1977

If not then I'll have to re-submit them again.

Unfortunately, I didn't receive them. Now that everything appears to be cleared up please resubmit them today and I will get them up. Thanks.

BTW Don't forget that anyone can leave comments on existing entries. If anyone wants to leave their opinions... please go ahead and do so.

**Funky Dude** · October 8th, 2003, 05:00 PM

Just submitted the two records now. Hopefully they would have gotten through.

Cheers

**Bernie** · October 8th, 2003, 05:15 PM

Funkydude,

I hate to say this, but I did not get your two records. My screen shows your two items pending, but I can not access them. Doesn't make sense cause djcool submitted 6 records earlier today and they came through fine and I put them up with no trouble. Efunk also submitted again with no problems.

Could you tell me the EXACT URL from where you tried submitting so I can track the bug down? In other words did you get to the submit page while viewing another record in the Vault or did you use the submit link on the left menu bar?

Also delete your cookies and browser cache as that seemed to help some. Sorry again and thanks for your patience.

**Funky Dude** · October 8th, 2003, 05:29 PM

Hi Bernie. The exact URL where I try to submit the records is:
http://www.discomusic.com/records-submit

This is basically the "Add An Entry" from the left bar.

What happens is when I preview my submissions it appears to just refresh the submission page with all that I've entered, but when I hit submit I get the advanced search page. That's basically what I'm getting and I had a bad feeling they still didn't get through.

**Bernie** · October 8th, 2003, 06:12 PM

Funky,

A few posts back we discussed not clicking on "Preview" and instead just clicking "Submit.". Until I get a handle on this try submitting without previewing. Let me know if this works. Thanks.

**Funky Dude** · October 8th, 2003, 06:33 PM

Ok. I've submitted once again, this time submitted, not previewed, well you've removed the preview button anyway. It looks like it might go through now as it's not taking me to that bloody advanced search this time, I'm now getting message saying that you will look at the submissions and post them which looks good.

I've submitted just the Eruption record this time. If it goes through successfully then I'll submit the Studs record and more following.

Cheers

**Bernie** · October 8th, 2003, 06:53 PM

Got it! It is now viewable in the Vault. Let 'er rip!

**Funky Dude** · October 8th, 2003, 06:57 PM

EXCELLENT!!! :D :D :D
