Site changes and improvements

Seems faster/more responsive to me

I'll try to figure something out!

OK chaps, so roughly 7 months after we promised you private messages, we finally delivered them 5 minutes ago. we really are lightning fast.

from now on, we'll be able to add features much quicker, so go ahead and tell us what you want.

cheers!

This should be fun

So guys, any ideas what the next site improvements should be?

I am currently working on an efficient way to join the same artist in the same artist name.. E.g. “Joan Jett” and “Jett, Joan” are currently two different artists according to the site, and I'm trying to find a way to automatically determine that and correctly join the tabs.

Another thing that will come soon is a new tab submission system. Every submitted tab will have a “status” and some feedback comments. How will this work: whenever you submit a tab you can choose a status for it (either “finished” or “in progress” ), so this will eliminate the errors when I approve incomplete tabs. I will only be approving “finished” tabs.

If a tab will not be up to the standards I will explain why in the feedback comments and change the status to something different so the author will know that it has to be corrected before it's published to the website.

With these changes we will make tab submission less error prone and make it possible to promote some contributing members and give them the power to approve their or someone else's tabs to speed up the submission process.

I also like Sid's idea about having different statuses on requests, so that we can see if people are working on a request or not. It's something I will definitely look into.
