Bigger charts!
The most important change on BestEverAlbums this month is that member charts have now been increased to a maximum size of 100 entries!

Progress v 2011 roadmap
We're now just over half-way through the year and I think we are probably a month or two behind compared to the published schedule, but I think that all items on the roadmap should be completed over the course of the next quarter (possibly slipping into November if there are any unforeseen technical issues). The delay was largely caused by the moderation system which was a much bigger piece of work than originally anticipated.

Next up from the roadmap: Charts by 'tag'

Other changes this month:
  • Lots of tweaks made to the moderation pages to improve usability
  • Mod points now awarded for track edits/additions
  • Fixed an issue with similar charts not being recalculated after a user chart was edited
  • Added the ability to sort ratings on album/band/chart/track pages by username, rating or date added.
  • Added the ability to sort comments on album/band/chart/track pages by date added and 'helpfulness'
  • Google +1 buttons added to album/band/chart/track pages
  • Removed the ability to rate your own chart
  • Fixed titles in some RSS feeds being improperly truncated
  • Site search (top right of each page) now suggests albums and songs (as well as bands) while you are typing
  • The A to Z index now shows each letter on a single page
  • Tidied up the user profile and member list pages
  • Lots of work performed behind the scenes to combat automated registrations and spam comments
  • Fixed an issue with birthday and gender fields not displaying on the edit profile screen
  • Added the ability on the forums to view the number of posts per user in a given topic or forum
  • A random song quote is now shown on the forums (instead of a static quote)
  • Loads of other smaller improvements


More next month...
