That's my list of top 51 albums. I'll have you take that as you will.

apologies - you found a glitch. there was a duplicate entry at pos. 1 & 2. chart has now been resized...

Yeah, upon editing my chart recently. I had it to a "Top 53".
and promptly after almost all of my albums from 25-50 became "Undefined".

Had to put them all in again, what fun. Strange glitch this is.

Sorry, that doesn't sound too good. Did anything strange seem to happen during editing, or were there any error messages when you clicked the 'Add Chart' button? Which browser are you using? If we could work out the steps to reproduce the problem, it would be a lot easier to fix.

I had something similar happen twice a while back. Some albums got duplicated, and some came up as undefined, and the total list was much longer than 50 albums (I think it was in the high 50s). I think it happened when I edited higher up in the list, so after that I have always removed from the bottom, added new albums, and moved them up the list instead. Haven't had the problem since.

thanks Bork, that sounds interesting. From what you're saying, it sounds a problem with the 'delete' code leaving behind traces of the deleted ranks. We'll try and get this fixed ASAP.

Someone named "CoolCrakityJones" has the same problem.

[albummaster]

interesting, I thought we'd fixed this as it hasn't happened lately. If anyone could provide steps for to repro it, it would much appreciated.

We've now manually edited this chart to bring in line with rest of site (removed entry 51).

If I had to guess, I would say it has something to do with an unidentified album in his chart as well as 50 normal ones. Maybe he accidentally submitted 51 albums and the site, not recognizing the unidentified, thought it was 50?
