(11/05/25) PA October Playlist + Quality Of Life Changes (v1.4.2)

Click here for a playlist including the most edited bands of October.
Added the missing achievements from the previous update. Fixed bugs where you could edit locked releases, and where the miniplayer wouldn't let you switch songs. The search bar in the 'users' page now works, and logo/band pictures no longer mess up the structure of a page. Also finally made the "Random Band" button more properly sort out empty bands.

If a fix listed here isn't working for you, refresh with ctrl+shift+r. The next update will feature cache fixes that prevent this from happening again.

(09/27/25) PA September Playlist + Update (v.1.4.1)

Click here for a playlist including the most edited bands of September.
This update has brought the most enhancements of the entire enhancement update. Users can now bookmark bands to see them at the top of the All Bands page, and on the same page you can now hide all flagged bands. A new button has been added where you can request a moderator to a band for any reason. You can now also edit/delete your reviews and like/dislike others. Some more small but nice improvements are adding multiple tracks at once, lowering trusted requirements, small achievement changes, earning points for adding alternate versions of releases, and transporting you to a band/label/zine's page right after you add it to the site. Instead of the listen button on releases opening a youtube link, it now opens a miniplayer that persists across pages. Lastly, the edit help page (seen below) has been updated to include recent changes. (the new achievements currently have bug and will be delayed by a bit, they are still coming with this update though)

(09/15/25) The Enhancement Update (v1.4.0)

This update mostly focuses on improving existing features. To start I've added more achievements, an improved discogs import, the ability to add multiple labels to a release, and the ability to add multiple versions of a release. You'll also be relieved to hear the random band button is now way less likely to show empty bands. I wasn't able to incorporate monthly points, but that may come in a future 1.4.x version. Lastly, I've added a page where you can add and find shows near you.
