A happy day many of you dreamed about has come! Any registered user can now create their own kick-ass looking lists... of anything. I decided not to limit them to albums only, so it can be anything, as long as it's metal-related. If you're now dying to have a look, here are some examples.

The lists will be mostly for private use (like Collections), but you can show them to your friends and you can 'thumb-up' other people's lists. The lists will appear in user profiles and on album pages (relevant ones). There's also a link in the Albums section submenu. To create your own list, go to the index page or an individual list page and click the 'Create a list!' link in the upper right corner.

Please make sure you read the instructions, there are a few useful examples at the bottom of the Add list page.
By the way, some people asked for a list of bands you've seen live - this new feature can be used for that as well! The only limitation is 50 entries, but it can be split into several lists.

Another way to create a list is to select albums in your Collection, then click a 'Create a list' button below. This way you can easily filter your Collection by year, style or band and create a list with a lot less effort.

Have fun!

P.S. The new notification for friends' publications will work for lists too, and can be disabled in the same way. More about it here.

Besides, there are a few users whom I'm interested in seeing some lists from. Dangerboner has a few good ones. lol I know dude i was just messing, its a cool feature Im wracking my brains over here for my first list Loading...

DayFly Posts: 383	Permalink 07.03.2010 - 12:51 DayFly Posts: 383 Just as a matter of curiosity, is anyone here actually bothering to check on those lists? The idea is great but since the place is so glutted with them (including some really inane ones like best Metallica/Opeth/Dragonforce albums; what are the ratings for), couldn't you limit the amount of published lists in some way? For instance everybody only gets one list in a fixed amount of time as per month (maybe from now on, no need to actually delete a list), except for staff and elite. Loading...

DayFly Posts: 383	Permalink 07.03.2010 - 13:21 DayFly Posts: 383 There is a difference, at least for me. Rating an album is something personal, publishing a list is not. Loading...

DayFly Posts: 383	Permalink 07.03.2010 - 13:37 DayFly Posts: 383 So? Why compile a list, if you do not care for other people to read it? On the other hand you do not rate an album to any one's benefit but your own (at least you shouldn't, people who do are usually petty down- and up-voters). I can't believe people going through profiles just to look up their ratings as they are not explained or in any way informative but a list can provide just that (if done properly). Loading...

Sorry. That should give you a whole week to really think your next list through, though Haha nice trick - but nothing will stop the chaotic lists & eventually they''ll cram lots of pages! Fortunately they're shown at the profiles & this is nice. Something like a personal agenda. After a long time only from the profiles these lists will be usefull (for others to see) Great, user friendly ideas...wonder what else lies ahead ---- \m/etalstor\m/ Loading...
