Subject: Corrections to parodies... a new era has begun

Written By: ChuckyG on 05/20/08 at 10:03 pm

With the exception of song lyrics, I can now make changes to parodies without a major headache on my part. 

No more needing to delete a submission because of misspelled titles or author names.

So anything but the lyrics themselves can be changed easily now?  That's cool, I may have a couple minor ones (I posted emails in the intros of some of my older stuff, and didn't want to resubmit, but the email is no longer active so I just wanted to remove it)  Will pm you later, thanks Chucky--you rock!

pretty much.  I had asked in the past if people wanted the ability to submit corrections and new versions, etc. but people mostly didn't think it was necessary.  This however is a little different, since it helps with the minor stuff that always seems to get entered wrong.

weird, I thought I'd get a big rush of corrections from people.  I guess this wasn't a pressing issue after all.  Oh well, it's there for when it's needed.

I know I've got a handful with the occasional typo... but can't remember which right now.

Don't worry, it'll come back to me at some point :)

yes... I wondered if that was intentional or not, but didn't change it to be safe.

I think I've done that half a dozen times or so: forgotten to check the comments box.  Out of a few hundred, probably less than a percentage point :)

It occurred to me last time I did it to ask whether you could store the setting in a cookie...

Thanks, Chucky.. it's worked :D

I could store it in a cookie, but knowing how some people wipe their cookies, or maybe forget the set it, etc.  I figured it would be best to leave it unselected all the time.

If I wrote a user account system for the site, it would probably be better since people would know if their logged in or not, and thus getting the default behaviors they expect.  For amIright I think it's a lot more hassle to set up personalized accounts than the time it would save people.

Have another one please

Can you change the title of this one :

from "Mammeries" to "Mammaries"


I mean, you'd think that the half of this duo who actually has them would therefore have known how to spell them when she submitted the song  :P ;D ;)


Thankee muchly

Chucky,

Can you change author names?  I submitted a parody a couple years back under my actual name, and I'd like to change the author name to my amiright handle.  If you can, change the submission "Condoleeza," a parody of Mas Tequila, from James McClure to McKludge.  The parody is this one http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/sammyhagar0.shtml.  Thanks a bunch in advance.

Hey Chucky!

Cool new feature! Thanks for all your work. Here are a bunch of requests that have been piling up for years:

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/plainwhitets6.shtml
Full title should be "Re: Your Song About My Client Delilah" (add "Re:")

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/squeeze1.shtml
Full title should be "You'll Never Leave Me 'Cause You Can't Afford the Gas" (add "Me")

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/donnyandmarieosmond0.shtml
Full title should be "A Middle East Country, A Middle Earth Mountain Troll" (spell out "Mountain")

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/billyjoel167.shtml
Please change title to "Hooked Up with a Bigfoot"

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/julieandrewsmarypoppins0.shtml
Please change title to "Superpowers Go Ballistic Execute Osama"

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/fountainsofwayne24.shtml
Please change title to "(I've Got a Crush on) Mrs. Claus"

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/queen112.shtml
Please change title to "Neiman-M Recipe"

http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/danfogelberg1.shtml
Please change title to simply "We Drank a Toast to Underpants"

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/bradpaisley9.shtml
Please change title to "I'm Getting a Vasectomy"

Whew. Hopefully that's all. Most of the changes are just because of diva-esque mind changes, but some of the titles got shortened because of character limits. So, Chucky, if being God of the Site doesn't make you omnipotent enough to override stuff like that, I understand.

Oh, and an unrelated question: Remind me again how to change my author profile. It's been awhile.

Thanks, as always, for letting us kids play in your awesome sandbox!
