Well, it was trash80 that first mentioned it...all they need to do is make the 52 into 12 and change weekly to MOON 
Oh and completely rewrite the backend probably but that's just a detail.
It would take longer to do a new design than it would to switch the current code to a monthly. 
sinewave wrote:Hey Admins, what happens when we flip to 2013? Do you plan to keep everything up indefinitely or will it all be gone forever?
At the very least we'll try to keep it up as a archive as long as possible.
My vote is a monthly.
Yeah I have to send this stupid authenticated string to our storage service to allow the link to change the headers so that browsers actually download the file. Url encoding issues causes a mismatch. I fixed the issue, let me know if this happens again and give me the url to the song in question.
Thanks
Haha I have no idea. Could be the amazon server occasionally tripping on itself by missing the xml permissions file, or it could be your browser / flash messing up? No idea. The docs on swfupload (the tool we use for the progress bar) was not specific on the error http://demo.swfupload.org/Documentation/#upload_error
useless documentation wrote:SECURITY_ERROR - The upload violates a security restriction. This error is rare.
It could be that it uploaded the avatar, but your cache shows the old one, have you tried to do a refresh?

It worked, but gave me two week twelves instead of a thirteen... Ha!
Sorry to do this to you, but can you try again so we can see if it's working now? Sorry I'm making you our guinea pig test subject.
Moved it to week 9. Might be a bug, ugh, thats what I get for rushing stuff up.
Changing your email address has to be done by a Mod/Admin. This is quite common for online forums, though it could be changed in the future.

From now on my filenames will be full of illegal characters and gibberish.
xD
I just cannot think of a elegant solution at this time.
If you uploaded a track for a specific week, and either you messed up and forgot to actually submit the form, or the server exploded and for some reason the song is gone... Please post here and we'll try to get you a private link to re-upload it for the given week. Be sure to tell us what week # was messed up in your post!
Also, this does not include users who's song was deleted due to copyright issues or whatever else.
Example:

Thanks!

Try reuploading again using this private link (it should only work with you, for week 13) It will expire after 2 days.

Sorry if I'm sounding dickish, forgot to add the happyfaces and winks.
Might be UI design error. It appears the temp file is there, as if the upload was successful, but there is no record and the file has not been processed, as if you didn't click the final submit button. I should change the text when the upload is finished to "Upload complete, Please click submit blah blah blah"
Meanwhile I'll create a way for you to re-upload that track.

I don't understand why is it that they need to be changed, though. What does it matter?
Seriously? It matters because people upload files called "Untitled.mp3" just because you are picky about naming your files consistently does not mean the rest of the world does as well. It matters to me because on the server end, it's nice to know what files belong to what, furthermore it matters because of things like the podcast feed to iTunes / readers.
