Subject: Admins.....there's something wrong with this parody.

Written By: Guest on 10/17/07 at 10:32 am

Admins...

I just happened to click on this parody: On Top Of Old Pokey a parody of "On Top Of Old Smoky" by Traditional (URL is http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/traditional1222.shtml) and it has the comments listed the old way (with timestamp listed). I saw a comment on there I felt was inappropriate, so I tried to report it, but it gave me a dreaded 404 message.

So what can be done about it?

not sure why you got a 404... I tried to report it to see what would happen, and it said it was already reported.  Sure enough it was.

Never mind Chuck...I went back to it, typed a comment of my own, hit the refresh...and everything appeared just fine.

Then I could report it, which I did.

Something is very odd in the way that this one appears:

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/stroke90.shtml

Also, it doesn't even show up in any index.

Well it shows up in the author index and in the artist index.  Where else would you like to see it?  :-\\

For some reason it didn't show up when it was searched for. That's how it was in the past, not sure if it's like that now...but that's not the reason why I'm pointing it out. Its appearance resembles the way parodies used to look in 2003 or so.


The way they look now:

Original Song Title: "whatever_the_original_song_title_is"
Original Performer: blah_blah
   
Parody Song Title: "whatever_the_parody_title_is"
Parody Written by: blah-blah.


That's not how the parody in question appears. The comment box appears the old way too. Heck, it's not even listed in the original performer's summary page, which only lists four parodies (http://www.amiright.com/artists/stroke9.shtml).

I even left a comment on it just now, to see what would happen. Pre-2007 all over again.

And now its voting results don't appear.

it was an old parody that was removed from the database, but apparently the html file was not removed.  I'll take care of it.
