Topic: Maximum 100 albums? Posted: August 01 2008 at 06:27 |
Why has there suddenly appeared a maximum of 100 albums on the top lists? Is this a response to the numerous "slow site" complaints? If so, could we please find another way of improving this?
I use this site for exploration, and the top lists are very helpful for this purpose. But the first 100 albums are normally the least interesting part. The top 100 consists mostly of albums I already have, and the interesting stuff appears further down.
This limit is very inflexible and constraining. I thought the point of the new multi-choice top list system was to make it more user-friendly and flexible.
The change has severly decreased my utility of this site. Please change it back.

the site is experiencing technical difficulties... it will be back when M@X gets all the bugs sorted out.

On the album subject: Whatever happened to the alphabetical listing of albums that used to be available? That was a great feature that just "disappeared" some time back.

Okay, that's noted. Do you happen to know if there's a timeframe on when things will be back in place?

wow.. that has been gone for some time... axed during one of M@X's tinkering sessions.. maybe a year.. perhaps two... it's been awhile since we had that. Don't think that is coming back...

see above post... no idea when he'll get a handle on the problems that are troubling the site.. and even if it will be back once he does. Hard to say...depends on what he has to do to 'fix' the site. Those things are probably sort of secondary to being able to access pages without being able to read a chapter in a book first.

Maybe it's all actually a secret plan to try to enhance our lives... It's M@x 's way of saying us "hey! Get up of that couch and go meet some woman, have a few drinks... meet the parents... then come back and the page you requested will be waiting for you"

Well, I neither have a problem with meeting women nor with too few nights on the town, but I'll have to admit that that list counts for most of the reasons why I use this site, all the other great features are bonuses. So I hope this is not a matter of weeks or months, as is implied by Micky...
If so, I'd have to ask my original question again - is this restriction really crucial for getting the bugs fixed? With all respect to Micky, perhaps someone actually knows the answer? (M@X himself or Easy Livin', for example?)
