    Default Artists Field

    ???
    Andrei,

    Today I registered and uploaded my CD collection to myGenres.

    I noted that when an artist field is longer than about 80 characters the artist field is shown as blank. For example:

    John Lennon And The Plastic Ono Nuclear Band with Little Big Horns And The Philharmanic Orchestrange

    had to be edited to:

    John Lennon & Plastic Ono Nuclear Band/Little Big Horns & Philharmanic Orchestrange

    to be seen online.

    Can it possible to increase the characters in this field from 80 to 100 so that there will be no problems with artists with long names.

    Regards and Thanks for this great new feature.

    Joe

    Hi Joe,

    The problem is now fixed on server. But instead of increasing the field limit, the text will be truncated. Unfortunately this is dictated by strict database performance requirements.

    To refresh your album on server, you need to do any change in the album in your local database: say, change the title slightly, save, then change it back. This will put a "need upload" flag on the album.

    Then, do regular upload using Tools -> Upload to myGenres.com.

    I hope this helps. I will also add ellipsis to the end of truncated names and titles, just for aesthetic reasons.

    Andrei
