New Site Question
« on: May 04, 2016, 04:56:10 PM »
First of all, the new u2songs discography website is absolutely incredible. I can't imagine how much time and effort is and continues to go into it. Just fantastic. However, in the albums section, I've noticed that on the Boy link (for example), the page won't let me scroll down any further than the Portugal release. My guess is there were so many different country and format releases, it's simply too long to scroll all the way down on several computers I've used. Am I not seeing a page 2 link or something. Thanks for your time.

Ah thanks for that. It's actually cutting off after a number of loops. I'll try to fix soon.

We've fixed this so it now displays all entries. But for some of the more involved discography entries it is slowing things down, as it tries to process these additional items.  So have patience when looking at the album pages.  We're working on it :)

We've been doing some additional work in the discography.  We're getting it closer to the finished vision every day. 

If you go in now you'll see the load time of the album entries has greatly improved, and we've gotten things sorted so the longer entries get moved to separate pages. But new to it all, just below "Catalog Entries" you can now sort by type of release if you don't want to look through everything and just want to focus on one type of release.  Next up will be the ability to sort by country.  It will give some quick and easy tools to allow you to sort by various means. 

Harry's been working on the above to get it running smoothly, and I've been putting some effort into finishing off the scans.  Working on http://www.u2songs.com/discography/u2_songs_of_innocence_album as we speak.  Slowly filling in images of all the releases.  It'll take a bit of time as we are rescanning everything at a higher resolution and being picky about orientation and the like...while the end is still months away, each day takes us closer.  :)
