An upcoming design tweak DOES make the screenshots for the 20 mixes a little bigger, just FYI... I don't think Brandon's idea is terrible, but it seems a little redundant... we've got ideas for some additional slides. Emphasizing one-click follow for Facebook, Twitter, & YouTube in a slide, for one.

Well, that's not ENTIRELY accurate... While the content of each slide is hardcoded, the underlying page is dynamic, so we COULD consistently plop the latest mix into a dedicated slide... But, it's also RIGHT THERE on the right, so I'm wondering if this additional promotion has value when it's so proximate to the latest mixes list?

Happy bday kris!

I haven't played it but here's how I feel based on what I know: Should have been $15 max Should have been digital only, no physical It DOES feel like they're just using the MGS name to pick up some extra cash, to me.

Should be fixed now, and thanks for the feedback! SHADDAP STRADER! Err, I mean... I'll get right on that. Tomorrow. Should also be fixed now. Again, thanks for the attention to detail!

Thanks everyone for your bug reports & feedback!! Initial results, while promising, do clearly indicate that there's still some major work to be done. It is with a heavy heart and eyes toward the future that I reluctantly announce the retirement of JUDGANATOR and the immediate reinstatement of the judges panel. The judges have been... uncanned... I suppose this makes them uncanny, not unlike the X-Men... HUGE thanks to JUDGANATOR lead developer & cool guy Wesley Cho, who made this brief foray into automated music critiquing possible!! We'll be working on JUDGANATOR 2.0 for some future year, and will put the existing beta somewhere you can play with it in the meantime.

Another excellent & detailed bug report - love you guys! Should be fixed!

We do have some ideas to increase exposure for recently posted mixes; we'll be doing SOMETHING with the next minor site update that should help. As Andy says, though, from time to time we like to highlight something different, and "Bubble Dragon" was certainly that. We feel it is to everyone's advantage that we have a certain degree of flexibility and freedom to promote things outside of regular processes.

I think the real celebrities, from a visitor filtering perspective, are the games I think far more users ignore anything that isn't Chrono Trigger than anything that isn't zircon, for example. Even though I love me some zircon. Having a dedicated page that offers randomized tracks, and options to NOT show artist OR game might be kinda cool... but we are getting a little outside the original scope, which was just the functionality/integration being added to the workshop, specifically. To answer Ab's question, my intent with this discussion is to gather both ideas and concerns and help crystallize what I think the best & most pragmatic initial plan for this should be. Step two would be putting together something more concrete, based on actual technical capabilities TBD, and then letting folks poke holes at it - with the understanding that the INITIAL version of this won't be perfect, and that some things will have to be deferred.

Thank you for the very thorough bug report WITH screenshots Problem should be fixed!

It definitely is. We've discussed this a bit internally today and have some ideas. I do want to mention a couple things: We keep posting more mixes each year than the previous, so at least we're moving in the right direction in that regard. We need to do more themed floods. Larry is going to get some help tagging mixes to be posted, as that tends to lag behind and probably has a trickle-down effect. We're going to handle DPs a bit differently for more internal transparency which should give me more to work with on writeups. We need to get over some humps before we can really dig in. Specifically, we need to close out the FF6 kickstarter once and for all. We also need to make some minor modernizations to the site.

Known issue. Yeah, custom avatar not working... I can probably fix that, but we ARE going to move to a new forum and it's likely we'll be doing profile photos instead of avatars, so it's not super-duper high-priority.

http://ocremix.org/artist/3/nobuo-uematsu HE HAS RETURNED

Forums use MyISAM so they were spared the outage. Site uses InnoDB. Currently having an issue w/ InnoDB, although the main engine is back online. Nobuo Uematsu is still broken.

Confirmed. Not actually an issue with the code, per se - not happening on other artist pages, just Nobuo, because his queries generate the largest tmp tables on the MySQL side. Looking into it, obviously need to fix ASAP. Should be fixed, thanks for mentioning!

"We" aren't doing anything other than talking, at the moment
