Hi folks,
I just tried to "move in" to anidb yesterday, and I noticed several things that puzzle me a little. Probably it's my fault by messing up certain settings but as I cannot find the corresponding setting I have to ask for help now.
1. I did enable the profile settings for "see me in user list" for "AR member", "member" and "guest" but regardless whether I am logged in or not (checking with another browser while being logged on with the first browser, that is - i. d. same IP address but no cookies/session etc.) I can't find my username in the userlist. Any clue what happened here?
2. I added a number of animes to the mylist yesterday. But one of these animes (Haibane Renmei) "vanished" from this mylist (it was there yesterday but it isn't visible any more today). I added more files of this anime to the mylist via ed2kdump today but said anime still isn't visible in the mylist. All "show/hide" links on the right side of the browser window offer "hide [something]" thus I believe I didn't accidentally hide this series by my own settings. When I move into the series display of Haibane Renmei it shows me all the files I added to mylist so these definitions apparently still are in the database. What could I have messed up to make the mylist not show this series any more?
3. The "myplace" page tells me as a hint: "Not enough votes (at least 30 votes are required)." Which kind of votes does this refer to? The "myvotes" page tells me I have entered 46 votes so far.
Thank you for investing your time for reading this posting.

My anidb username is "devildoll" (the registration procedure didn't allow whitespaces in user names), and the "myvotes" report tells me that I have "48 votes, avg. vote 6.04", all of which are anime votes. (I remember having given one vote for a release by "reii-ne" where I liked the translation very much, but no vote for a group in general.)nwa wrote:#3 Do you have at least 30 anime votes? group votes not included..
anyway it seems to be like a bug.. but what's your anidb username?
As for the caching, the "hint" section tells me that "(a DB maintenance task might be in progress)". Any clue how long such a caching might take? I have no problem waiting a week or so - I just wanted to know whether I did anything wrong that I'd have to change.
The Haibane Renmei group missing from the mylist is the one where I have the most files in, some of which I added to the database only yesterday. Could this be a reason why it is treated differently? Then again I added files to other animes as well (such as the "reii-ne" German sub of "Record of Lodoss Wars TV") which didn't cause any problems.
One more thing: My votes do change the average voting value of the anime (my "5" lowered Azumanga Daioh from "8.55" to "8.54"). So perhaps just the "not enough votes" message is wrong?
#1 and #3 are caused by the same caching bug which I introduced recently.
Those will not fix themselves (normally a cache problem, like #2 will fix itself after 24h).
The #1/#3 issue was also reported here:

Um... it's been two weeks now, and no change... "devil doll" still doesn't appear in the user list, and the "myplace" display still shows:
Is there any hope for me to get this fixed somehow?
Or - as a workaround for me - is there any way that I can see the summary values for my account that I'd otherwise get from the "userlist" display?
