Wow. M@X is cooking again. This time he baked a new layout for bands'/artists' entries.
How do you like it? |

I've just seen it for the first time and there are things I like and some I dont. I do like the fact that it shows the 5 most recent reviews for the selected artist but I dont like the loss of the listing of albums, replaced by n area that just has them grouped togethor, it just doesnt seem as neet.

Yep, I think you're right. And you can't switch off showing the covers any more, it seems. |

I think it's awesome.
I also love how prominent my review is right beneath the discography on Magma's page. ![]() Edited by Shakespeare - November 08 2007 at 18:02 |

That's actually how artist discographies looked like a couple of years ago on this site, I remember. I agree that it's looks more lumpy, though I do like the other changes. Edited by Bj-1 - November 08 2007 at 18:08 |

Agreed. Messy and inconvenient. ![]() I also hate the huge prominent Ebay ad. The bio part looks nice though. (glass half-full concession.) |

There's one more thing I noticed. Take this for example: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2489. Look at the bottom of the bio (the discography part)...

I miss knowing the number of ratings for each album. Could you please add that underneath each rating?

I just noticed the changes, I love how the biography is layered, I think that, on the big artists, the number of E-bay offers is a bit too much, plus I believe that the listing of the album does indeed need some structuring.
Besides a flow which to be convenient and tasteful to the eye, I think listing the albums should also remain a chronological business. I mean, just look at Tangerine Dream, it's a mess. ![]() Most highly rated albums should not be taken out, whilst I agree with the suggestion of keeping the "number of reviews" small paranthesis. ![]() |

I like the new layout, especially the division between different types of records. The last 5 reviews is also very convinient to see.
![]() However, the discography part is in need of improvement. Besides the "popularity" order, I would also like to see the option to switch to chronological order.
E-bay part indeed in some cases is clogging the space more than necessary...
![]() Otherwise, it looks better.

Though I do like it for the most part, like others before me, I have to say I don't care for the ads at all. Perhaps there is no way to avoid them, but in my humble opinion it would be great to see those entries free of things that have nothing to do with them (and I'm not referring to E-bay in this case).

What a surprise - I didn't know about plans to change the layout
![]() Looks pretty good in summary ![]() To have an option for a chronological order of the complete albums would be nice indeed ... |

i agree with two points mentioned above: 1. the sum of reviews is missing 2. i like it better in chronological order other than that it's ok... |

wow.... well since I made it to SC for speaking my mind....I'll happily take a demotion for doing the same.
M@X.... it sucks ... don't see why you have to twiddle with what itsn't broken. and regardling the ads..... nice way to turn the site we have worked so hard for into a 2nd rate looking vehicle. Is the site is so damned expensive to operate... for us ..this site is a labour of love.... if you need money to keep it running... ask us to donate.. you'd be surprised.... .if this is a way to make money... that is your right... but we work for you... and don't see any of it.... so what is that about. hahahhahha. |

We need the discographies to be chronological. We're prog fans, and don't care too much about ratings, but as collectors and completists we're rather anal about the order in which things were released and things like that
