500 Error

Hey, I'm running into some problems and error. I was trying to add an artist, it gave me a 500 error, and its been like this ever since. Any fix to this problem?

Hey,
It means someone already have the name of this artist (a user, or another artist).
This bug is really annoying, I hope they fix it at some point.

GEAR:
  • Codanova VMX V64
  • Ableton Push
  • Korg microKONTROL

Nobody has the name

the artist is not on here on the Equiqboard, I keep getting the same errors and bugs. Is there another way we can fix this?

nobody has the name

What's this artist name?

GEAR:
  • Codanova VMX V64
  • Ableton Push

Cobra Maltase

Cobra Maltase is the artists name

I want this problem to get fixed

Dam indeed, it's weird :/
Have to wait for an admin to come by, I'll try to find out why this issue occurs :(

Yeah when I click add artist i get the 500 error everytime

A glitch like this indeed needs an admin to look at the offending code... @Michael

That said, it seems you're trying to add yourself and if you look at our submission guidelines we ask that users do not do that at this time. Thanks for your cooperation :)

  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

It's an actual artist, there's actual music and songs from the artist

It works for other artists but not for this one and i don't know why

I want to find a way to fix this simple problem

It glitches out on this artist for some reason

I didn't say you weren't an actual artist. There was no need to change your username from CobraMaltase to KingCobra. I must admit to feeling a little gaslighted :( I've been in this business a very long time and I understand how important it has become to establish a viable search engine presence for press purposes. It's easier to release music to a wide audience than ever but it's never been harder to get their attention. I feel ya :)

I was just telling you what our guidelines are at this time. It's a guideline, obviously we would like it if submission guidelines were followed since there are good reasons we wrote them, but if you don't... there won't be any consequences. @Michael, correct me if I'm wrong.

I put a line out to an admin to resolve your 500 error. The site is undergoing an overhaul so I can't offer you a timetable. Equipboard is a labor of love by a group of like minded musos, we all have to earn our living elsewhere.

Here you go: https://equipboard.com/pros/cobra-maltese-1

It was because the user name was already taken. We'll have to add a way to handle that better.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's "Maltase"

NOT "Maltese"
