in the review section, which are the the options to rate an album beside "Highly Recommended", etc?

 

Yep. Most of the first ones are obviously all the reviewer's favorite albums, so they're gonna be very highly skewed to the favorites.

Highly Recommended / Recommended / Neutral / Do Not Recommend / Stay Away

 

How do I get the 7 Dwarves trophy?! Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but still...

 

Snow White as one of your favorite films? Idk, just a guess :p

There's a lot of hidden trophies for things as your favorites though, I do know that.

 

Gotta have 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' as a favorite movie.

 

I've had a couple people ask me off-line about where the tour forum is. Might be something to note.

 

Yeah, I need to do something about that. I am not sure what the best solution is yet, but I have it on my list to tackle.

 

What about Superman? Haven't figured that one out yet...

 

I don't think there's a Superman one off the top of my head. There's a

 

The "it's a bird, it's a plane" one is what I'm looking at.

 

Gotta be in the "books" section.

 

Ah, ok. I had guessed that but wasn't totally sure haha

 

It's a pinned/sticky thread, so it'll stay at the top of that forum.

 

How are you injecting your amazon affiliate account into every amazon link? That's a pretty neat trick.

 

Perhaps it's already been asked, but i searched and didn't find anything...with AP i always had an RSS feed to check out the threads that i wanted to read. Can I also set this up for chrous.fm?

 

An RSS feed to follow a specific forum and see when new threads were created? You can add "index.rss" on the end of any forum and it'll give you the RSS feed for that forum. So for example, this forum:

https://forum.chorus.fm/forum/help-and-feedback.15/index.rss

That would be the RSS feed url.

 

Just wrote a little plugin to add it:

Does that just run inside of the forum software itself and run on every post that is submitted?

I've also noticed that it does a lot of URL cleaning. It's a very slick operation IMO.

 

Not sure if others have the same issue, but I continue to get signed out of Chorus on my iPhone. I don't ever clear history, cookies, etc. I have the "Keep me logged in box", but frequently, when I browse away from the site, and come back to it, I'm signed out. My password is cached there, so it's as simple as signing back in, but I typically go to the site see if I have any notifications, and leave.

 

Have any ad blockers installed?

 

Not on my iPhone, I do on Chrome on my PC.

 

I'm not sure why it would be clearing that cookie then ... it shouldn't be. It doesn't on mine. Maybe try logging out, clearing everything, then logging back in with the checkbox checked.

 

Good idea, will give that a shot. If nobody else is complaining, don't mind me - it's not hard to sign back in. Thanks Jason, keep up the good work.

 

@Jason Tate I'm having an avatar crisis. My file is 397x397 and whenever I try and upload it it either says "no file chosen" or that the file is too big. SOS this is a severe emergency

 

Make sure it's under 5mb. That's the other error you'd get.
