There's something wrong with the MAAILMANPUU band page: it shows no reviews. Don't remember if there were other reviews, but I have reviewed their second album Kohti valoa (2021), as shown here: https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=74803" rel="nofollow - MAAILMANPUU Kohti valoa reviews (progarchives.com) Any idea why the review(s?) have disapperead from the band page? Has this happened with other artists, too?

reviews don't show on band pages so not just your case.

^^ It seems it's only up to M@X to fix this. Looks like it's a common bug - I click to many band pages and no reviews everywhere.
Examples: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1122 https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=281 https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=364 https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1 ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

Maybe with all the timeout issues the site is having, maybe he's trying to lower the load on the server by removing some features?? Just a guess. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

There has been a real serious bug for 4-5 days now. There is no rating bar under the album cover. I can't see my rating as well as give new rating. Both on the main page and on the album page: https://ibb.co/pbNwSQD" rel="nofollow">

I don't know if it's a bug or what it's happening, but it's been already pointed out.

I think you've hit the nail right on the head there Ken. I can't really see what M@X will be saving in terms of bandwidth by removing the overall star rating from underneath the album covers (unless it has to be computed from all the existing rating/review data every time the page loads, and was thus overloading the system from that aspect rather than bandwidth consumption), but I reckon by not showing the selection of reviews that used to be shown on an artist's main page he will certainly be saving a fair bit. These two things don't seem like bugs at all to me - I reckon they've both been done deliberately. For what it's worth, the main site has been a lot better for me here in the UK over the last three days or so, though the forum was unavailable (Cloudflare timeout rather than the usual server-generated error) for a while earlier yesterday afternoon.

The site is much better today - it's fast, latest reviews are shown on the artists' pages, ratings are shown with digits, on the albums' pages I see the number of reviews and ratings. If only stars were "sacrificed" I can live with it. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

I am using Firefox and do, indeed, see the star ratings when I look
at one specific album. I don't see them on the band page beneath each
of the band's albums. I checked the page
source for a random album
(https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=51106), and it highlights a
number of coding errors, like object terminators (e.g. </li> that
don't correspond to anything, nested comments (which are not allowed),
stray ending tags, extra unnecessary characters, etc. The same is true
on the main band page, and the PA home page. ------------- “I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for those who like country music, denigrate means to ‘put down.'” – Bob Newhart |
