I don't appreciate being laughed at. The least you guys can do is fix them.
Believe me, there is nothing I wish more than to be able to fix every single non-working cover in the site, but in a lot of cases we no longer have a working copy. we have seen lately that covers get uploaded, and then show up as corrupted. In some instances the cover is lost for good and we can not replace it until the original artist re-uploads a new version of it.
The reason for my sarcasm is that you are pointing out something that we clearly already know about.
Seriously - you guys need to get with the program, drop this whole custom-built CMS that Snowcone knocked together on his own, and go with something like Drupal. Go with something tested and proven - I honestly do not get why there needs to be this overcomplication by going with a homegrown solution that obviously does not do the work most of the time and needs a lof of maintenance and manual labor.
Like - for instance - the whole uploading process - I understand this is quite a pain. Quite simply, this is inexcusable for ANY CMS by ANY hallmark - this stuff needs to be transparent and as simple as clicking on the Quit button of your PC.
For instance - my uploaded covers have been sitting in the 'Uploads' section for over a month now - ready to be uploaded for over a month now - simply because nobody wants to take the time to 'publish' these covers - or because it's too 'time consuming', or because something goes wrong during the uploading process. I mean, what the hell? What is so overly complex about this stuff that a cover can't be added in a manner of seconds? You know, you can install something like Ruby on Rails, set up 'scaffolding' and you'll have CRUD functionality within a matter of seconds or minutes.
