When your adding band members, there is a list of pre-entered members, which is cool, except whenever your adding a new one, you have to wait for the list to load every single time, it took like 1 hour just to upload all the Iced Earth former members in because i had to wait for that list.
One thing i was thinking of, is if there was an 'add many' members option or somthing, where you could upload several up at a time.

One hour?! It really took you that long?! For me it just loads up normally like everything else And my connection is VERY slow!

It does seem to take a while to add band members. I have a fairly decent connection and I find that it takes a while to load that list too.

There could be two options:

Add New Member
Add New Pre-Existing Member

That would cut down on the load times for adding band members that are already in the database.

Im being serious (like 15 members i had to put in), and Edenbridge took like half hour.
It really goes fast for you? So you can see the 'Add New' button like straight away?

Wow! We're talking about the http://www.metalstorm.ee/bands/lineup_edit.php?band_id=whatever band right? It took me about half a minute to load on my 36.0kbps connection. I tried it just then as well to check, and same as before. That big drop down list is the first thing to load. I can't understand why it didn't load normally, when me, with one of the slowest connections at Metal Storm, had it load at the speed of any other page. Wow!

I have other similar difficulties: the page is horrorbly slow and adding a not existing member Member (tried Candlemass and My Dying Bride) would lead to the same screen as before... Maybe this can be fixed.

I was busy adding the ex-band members of November's Doom, (thus adding NEW members, not 'selecting' old ones) and with one member it kept saying: No Member Selected. Whilst I clicked 'add new member' and I'm sure I wasn;t doing the wrong thing. I hope you can fix this.

PS: Just to make sure that I don't forget adding him, any Staff member who fixes it, please add him right away if possible. Otherwise I'd forget. Here is the info:

Suggesting bands is possible once you reached 100 community points or your account has been in use for 30 days, whichever comes first.

Thanx.
