    Hello! Starting this week and continuing throughout the next few months, we’ll be rolling out a new version of the Master Release page (some good info here: https://blog.discogs.sie.com/en/discogs-database-master-release-page-improvements-2022/). For the most part there will be feature parity between the old and the new version, though there’s a full redesign of the Versions section. I’ll include a larger feature list below but first the rollout schedule (and some context around why we’re rolling out in this way):

    (Timelines are not final, and may be shifted as issues arise)
    -February 9: 100% of logged out traffic will see the new Master Release page for 24 hours. This is to load test and start to find any outlier bugs we haven't found yet in a controlled way.
    -Mid/End-February: 100% of logged out traffic will see the new Master Release page permanently. This is to let folks start to explore the new page and catch more bugs if they arise.
    -Mid/End-February: Opt-In testing for logged in s. This was a big note a lot of y’all had about the rollout of the release page. We’re going to give about two weeks of opt-in/opt-out testing access so you can try the new features out, and really push to find any outlier bugs so we can tune up the page throughout the rest of the rollout and beyond.
    -Early March: 100% rollout to logged in s for 24 hours. Also similar to this step for logged out s.
    -End of March: 100% permanent rollout to logged in s.

    We want to be transparent about the timeline so you can expect when certain things will be happening. Transparency was a hot topic around the release page rollout, and with slightly more resources, we’ll be able to be more transparent and respond to notes more regularly.

    Feature list:

    -You’ll now be able to filter and search releases in a given Master Release simultaneously!
    -The version finding capabilities are now visible immediately on the page, without having to click the “Find Your Version” button. This means no more scrolling and opening up 3+ tabs of releases to find yours from a huge Master Release.
    -Release thumbnails load in for every displayed version.
    -Improved data layout.
    -See all replies to reviews on the same master page, no more clicking into a new page to see replies!
    -Faster loading for large master release pages (initially loading 50 releases with the option to load all releases).
    -Backend improvements in service of accessibility across the page.

    -and more, as we work with the page and iterate over time.

    We’re really excited to show this work off, it’s been a ton of work over the last few months and the possibilities it unlocks are phenomenal for other pages!

    Regardless of the amount of testing we do, both human and automated, we expect bugs to exist in each release. And that’s where we need your help! We want your and bug reports throughout the rollout process and beyond. When submitting or bug reports, please be comprehensive if possible. It’s helpful for us to know as much as we can about your browser, operating system, and circumstances around when the bug appeared. There are a couple of us monitoring the forum and we will respond to as quickly as we can.

    We’re excited to roll out the new Master Release page, and we hope to provide greater utility to each and every one of you while we roll out these new pages.

    PS, this does mean that if you'd like to see the new MR page for the next 24 hours (until about 9am US Pacific time tomorrow 2/10), you can open an incognito window and start browsing ;-)

    Yes! We will now display the Free Text Field in full rather than the confusing abbreviations. In other words, no more confusing Sli, Cry, Dlx, etc. abbreviations.

    You can also search for FTF, barcodes, etc. directly from the Master Release versions component without needing to load that "Find your version" modal.

    If you want a sneak peek of the new page, you can log out to test it. (At least currently all logged out traffic should see the new page). And like BK202 mentioned, we hope to provide opt-in testing for logged in traffic soon.

    Many thanks. Was always a pain trying to locate the tri-centre, solid, silver label, injection moulded versions of singles when they are in picture sleeves as the FTF isn’t shown at-all in the find your version results.

    Just had a quick look on a randomly chosen release (7” single). Picked country, 3 results with descriptions but no pictures so impossible to scan visually to eliminate incorrect versions in the results. Is no pics displayed correct? Browsing on an iPhone using Safari.

    We're still doing some work on the mobile view that we expect to be included in later rollout iterations, but this is a good note! I'll look into it a bit.

    whether you want it or not!. Generally very positive. However (this is on desktop):
    1. Sometimes the primary image is useful, other times it's just taking up vertical space. A sticky toggle to show the images or not would be ideal
    2. Currently all releases in an MR are loaded at once. Here you have to keep clicking on Show More Versions. Appreciate the server load (especially with images) but I prefer the former. Sometimes there's no substitute for a Ctrl+F across all releases in an MR
    3. Filters are generally great and love the option to see Sales History etc. on a given release
    4. My primary issue is the order of the items in the Filter By dropdowns. They are in descending count order. I don't want to be scrabbling and scrolling around trying to find an item. The most obvious problem is the Year ... this should definitely be in ascending order of year. Also 'Unknown' does not appear to be in the dropdown for Year (I don't think it was on FYV either so not a new problem). Appreciate that there is the option to either select from Dropdown or type text in the filter which makes it not so bad but I think a predictable order is better than a 'ranking'. This wasn't so much of a problem on Find Your Version as there is more screen space there for showing the options than there is in the dropdowns

    Awesome, we want it! Especially when it's constructive like yours!

    1. Noted. We wanted to keep it simple at first, but I could see us eventually providing different view options (Text Only, Text With Covers) like we do in Search results.
    2. We are still exploring different options here. We actually initially had a "show all" button, but the load time wasn't great for very large Master Release pages.
    3. Yay, glad you like the filters!
    4. Good catch, we actually already have a story in our backlog for this work (for Year sorting at least).
    I'll look into "Unknown" filtering.

    Well done! This is really great news and a major step in the right direction. I have very few comments as the implementation really is hitting the spot in most aspects for me. Two remarks though:

    1. The filter drop down lists are not behaving as they should for me. They close by themselves as soon as I try to drag the scroll bar with my mouse.
    2. Rather than displaying marketplace info, I was actually hoping the arrow would reveal the BaOI fields, or possibly Notes. If the goal of this feature is to help identify particular versions/releases, BaOI and notes are immensly useful (particularly matrix/rounout info) while marketplace is not useful at all. I guess this comes down to the intention of the feature and I do realize why you want the marketplace information here. I just believe that this space could have been reserved for information that helped the feature realize its full potential as a version identifier.

    I'm on Win 10 21H1, Firefox 97.0.

    Thank you for the notes! I have a quick Q about the first item: when you say drag, do you mean scrolling with the mouse wheel or is there another way you're doing this? Just trying to make sure all our bases our covered!

    And yeah, the second item is about striking a balance for our s - an awesome feature of the version finder is that you can use the version finder search bar to find/filter matrix #s quickly, and most other BaOI fields on the page! Though I can understand how that can be not entirely clear and we'll give this some thought.

    Again, thank you for the ! Happy to hear it's mostly hitting the spot :-)

    Thank you everyone for your so far! Many of the new features in the versions list came directly from your responses to my past request post. So keep the coming!

    Sorry for being unclear. Reproducing the bug:

    1. Click on a drop down list to "activcate" it.
    2. Left click on the scroll list inside the drop down list.
    Result: Drop down list closes.

    The same result happens both when left clicking and holding as well as left clicking and releasing the mouse button.

    Scrolling with the mouse wheel works as intended.

    Yes, I realize you can use the search bar and I don't think this is unclear in any way. What I mean is that sometimes there are subtle differences in matrix/runout information between two or more releases, and these differences can be harder/impossible to filter away with a search. In these instances you generally want to look at the whole matrix/runout strings for those releases to determine what version you have. This is why it would be useful to be able to see this information directly in the version finder instead of having to open two or more windows to compare. I realize though that for some releases this would be a bit problematic, especially if the release has 20-30 matrix/runout variations or more.

    Damn, this is actually really good. The filters alone are a god-send.

  • woenowdobby edited over 3 years ago
    Not very good. Thumbnails are distracting, crowded and nauseating when scrolling very fast down a page. The 'Show all' option for displaying all the different versions of a release is gone and instead reduced to clicking 'show more' over and over again, why? Very aggravating.

    Also the order and behaviour of the filters and searches seems kind of buggy or just not getting the kinds of results you'd want.
    Clicking the message at the top of the page to revert back to the old format does nothing, doesn't work.
    Filtering by format (e.g only showing Vinyl) is a good idea but when filtering that it messes up the filtering of the typical order which prioritizes ascending year of release and country, typically showing the more desirable or country of origin releases at the top, it is kind of a mess.

    ittedly I don't use filters or advanced search options a whole lot, I usually just 'Show all' versions of a release and CTRL+F to find what I want or when looking up deadwax info I'll just open all the releases for a country of that record in tabs or I'll google it because there are peculiarities with deadwax info such as extra details and weird symbols and such which are not easy to find with a standard search engine.
    I don't see any reason for these layout changes, I think if anything rather than overhauling the layout the filters should be worked on and perhaps have an advanced option button next to 'Find your version' to display them, and should be improved to have more intuitive behaviour.

    The current layout isn't perfect but it gives me a very Simple and Clean way to find things, which I like.

    If making the changes I think it at least should have the option to revert to the old layout or customize for s, e.g not having thumbnails.

    I'm not a fan of the default sorting in this new update. Maybe I'm missing something but why is the default "Year" only?
    Right now when you open a MR page the releases are sorted by Title, format, cat# and year at the same time. I prefer it that way, it's less confusing (Key release on top, then 2xCD, 2xLP, Box Set, CD, Cass, etc. - Example: Teenage Dream).

    Having to scroll all the way down to click "show more" is very annoying. I don't mind having to wait a couple of seconds more for everything to load tbh.

    I still don't understand the point of the "Add to Wantlist - Add all versions to wanlist" button, I don't see myself ever using it but I guess that's just me haha.

    I really like the thumbnails and how the Format now displays the full texts, finally no more confusing FTF abbreviations! I hope those stay in the final update.

    Overall I think it'll be a great update :)

  • alternapop edited over 3 years ago
    I think it needs to have a way to filter out unofficial releases. We can check the box for 'unofficial', to only see unofficial, but I don't see a way to only see official. Entering in "-unofficial" in the text field doesn't seem to work either. Would be nice to use more advanced text parameters for "does not include" like "-" or "!" if you're not going to give us a way to do it with the GUI.

    After using this feature some more I have come to the conclusion that the filter section is lacking in one particular aspect. Right now, we can only filter for what we want but there is no real way of using filters as excluders. This would be very helpful and is touching upon what alternapop is asking for. Sometimes when looking for releases I'm interested in owning, rather than filtering for every combination I want it can be easier to filter out what I know I don't want.

    Maybe the checkbox feature could be a three way toggle between ☐, ☑ and ☒?

    Specially when away from home.
    I think there is a far worse problem to be solved:
    As more and more unexperienced youngsters discover discogs,
    a lot of versions are not at the place they belong.
    Adding to this, careless vendors who deliberately change data
    to fit their wrong version.
    Sorry to see this unique serious database, wonderful tool,
    be submerged by too much democraty.

    Perhaps I'm being overly cynical but this news fills me more with dread than excitement.

    Sure, a more manageable Master Release page is long overdue. The idea of being able to drill down on an exact version of, say, Sgt Pepper or Dark Side without having to open up a bazillion tabs is very appealing. Ordinarily, I'd be overjoyed by the news that such changes were in the works.

    That said, memories are still raw of the debacle that was the Release Page "improvement" which reduced site operations to a dysfunctional slog for weeks (if not longer) In fact, issues from those changes continue to linger as do the overall lack of communication that left so many site s bewildered as to what in the hell had happened to the site they knew and loved.

    Here's hoping the execution of the planned MR improvements proceed much more seamlessly and with far greater transparency than what was seen during the Release Page rollout. Given this team's dubious track record to date, I'm not too sanguine about the prospect of that happening. Hope I'm wrong.

    ------------------------

    However, I did give the new master release filter a try. Mostly I really enjoy this new version much more than the last. A really great job overall!

    I would prefer more summary from the release data rather than sales and ratings. Mostly data from BaOI would be sufficient, such as barcodes, spars codes, maybe the first 1-2 matrix variants.

    I think I found an issue with how the filtering is applied, it seems filters are applied as OR rather than AND, as demonstrated here where I would expect to only see Limited Edition CDs, rather than CDs + Limited Editions (on any format):

    "Release thumbnails load in for every displayed version."
    Why couldn't you just add the 'filter by' and leave it at that? I don't think the thumbnails are helping anyone identify their version, they just take up vertical space and limit the amount of entries per page. It might make the site look 'prettier' but overall makes it so much more awful to scroll through, especially if you aren't sure what you are looking for and need to keep clicking "Show more versions..." and waiting 5 seconds. Loading a bunch of text doesn't affect load time but loading a bunch of jpgs sure does.

  • Perplexer- edited over 3 years ago
    I didn't have time to read everything, yet I'm still here. And that's because I would really like to see an option to automatically add a newly submitted release to the Master Release, if the submission was created from a draft copied from an already existing release. Kinda like the current checkbox for "Add to My Collection". Oh God how I wish you would implement this!!

    Hey y'all! Thank you for the over the weekend! We took a look at all of it and have been discussing, but I wanted to respond to a couple things in particular:

    1. Exclusive filtering: we hear y'all and understand the utility of this ask. This is something we're actively discussing, particularly Relvet 's suggestions around filtering unofficial releases from the MR. There are a couple things to consider here, but I'll call out any specific changes we wind up making when we do.

    2. The revert option not working right now (from HomerHossa ): Hmm, we'll look into this a bit! Thank you for the call out!

    3. The Collection Large Covers view was broken over the weekend: This wasn't due to the Master Release page, but some work done by another team to finish a security patch. However, this should be fixed now and images across the site should look as they did before/Collection Large Covers view should be back to normal.

    4. Transparency/rollout concerns: We hear y'all and have planned this rollout to be a bit smoother than the Release Page went. I know that actions speak louder than words and I'm hoping to demonstrate this throughout the rollout. Some of the steps we've specifically taken here to better aid in transparency/responsiveness include:
    -This thread being created earlier, giving folks the chance to test even before it hits logged-in traffic.
    -Adding opt-in testing for logged-in s when we're ready to start rolling out to logged-in traffic. This was something that was a huge suggestion after the release page rollout.
    -A larger team. While this wasn't entirely for the service of the MR page, we do have a larger team working on the page and around to respond to concerns/bug reports. Arranging work has been easier and we have the capacity to handle just that much more now.
    I do understand the hesitancy though, and with these steps the rollout of the MR page should be smoother.

    5. Thumbnails loading in: debrebeuf , could you share a bit about your browser/OS setup? Across multi-machine/browser testing, we didn't notice any significant declines in loading performance for the thumbnails. These have been reported as helpful for other s in interviews/our survey on the page throughout this logged-out test, so we can look into ways to better optimize the loading times.

    6. Adding a new submitted release to an MR: Perplexer , this is a bit out of the scope of the new MR page rollout (this rollout only covers the actual page), but thank you for the ! It's a feature that is regularly requested, and we do have it slated for backlog discussion.

    Again, thank y'all for the ! It's always valuable and we really appreciate the time you're all taking to look at the page and write up !

    Thanks for your reply. While exclusive filtering would be very useful, I think a more advanced filtering like what google uses would be fantastic. Being able to use parens, etc.

    for example: -(unofficial, SLM) (abc-123, xyz-456)

    Yeah, an advanced search engine being able to handle boolean operators and wildcards would be awesome. Somehow I doubt that such a development is within the scope of what the team planned for, but we can always dream :)

    I'm glad to see that the little downward-pointing triangle on the right side of each item in the MR now reveals something about each release. It's a pity that it's wasting so much space with info & links which are useless to most visitors of the MR page. Once again, I'm wondering if the developers actually use Discogs, because it seems like they are just guessing at what would be useful.

    An example of what would be a better use of that space, and something I've repeatedly suggested in the past, is a list of track titles, maybe just on the MRs which are categorized as Singles on the artist page. This would go a long way to resolving disputes over what belongs in a master release, e.g. between oldie 45 collectors (who want separate MRs for every A/B-side combo) and the rest of us (who have to deal with the complexities the 12" era). My old mockup showed how it could be done, essentially by formatting the tracklist for each release as a slash-separated list, and printed in a smaller, italic font. Ideally there'd be a way to toggle this display on and off. The proposal always gets good , but that's the end of it.

    Sorry if I have to openly worry about the looks, but…

    One pressing on the master list would take about 3 rows of text's worth of vertical space. Now it takes about 6, which makes casual use much harder, not easier. Example: On a master release page with 13 pressings, with the old version I can see the whole list of them very comfortably and there's extra height left, but if I want to see all 13 on the new version, I had to set my browser's zoom to 50%, which makes the text very small and a bit jagged… And that's on a proper desktop computer monitor, not a laptop.
    Things get more difficult to compare the less items you can see in one view. People who want to torture themselves by browsing things like through a narrow tube are free to use phones, but I don't know what's left if even computers can't be used for seeing the big picture properly. And I mean that in general about web design, because there's a certain trend going on. Desktop view doesn't need to look like a phone view.

    If this is going to be forced permanently with no option to opt out, I would at least love to see a toggle button so by _default_ you'd see a compact view with text taking up less space, but you could toggle to that expanded view with the cover art and all when you need that extra information; Unless some genuinely insist on needing to see them at all times, in which case logged in s could probably have a setting to define how they want to view the site. Just like time zones and site language are preferences. But then, what was wrong with just boiling it all down to "find your version" for those who want to filter and compare?

    I'm sorry that I'm not that excited about the look, but I've seen some websites I enjoy being bloated beyond recognition in a way that drove me away for good because using became too frustrating, and because of that trend, there's this constant fear of when the trend spreads to the next website I like. Or has the world just somehow moved on without me so everyone else is using an 8K screen or something where the massive elements actually look very small?

    I haven't yet seen the "show more" that someone described as coming over and over again rather than getting a nice and simple "show all", but if that's how it works, I agree with them that it seems 'aggravating'. They also described scrolling over the covers as 'nauseating', which I also agree with: Lots of scrolling is not sensory-friendly to anyone, let alone those who have additional sensory processing issues, so it becomes an accessibility thing. On the other hand, to a different individual with different type of challenges, larger fonts and images might be what they'd describe as _better_ accessibility; So if you want the site to be accessible and take s' differences onto , it's most likely impossible to make one perfect design that fits everybody. That's why I suggest the chance to toggle between compact text based view vs. full view with images and all, and possibly having it as a preference. I would argue that the average person is probably more bothered by the visual annoyance of a lot of scrolling, rather than by feeling that text or thumbnails are too small: Thumbnails are meant to be clicked and enlarged upon request anyway.

    But that's about the _looks_; What I do genuinely appreciate (based on this quick impression), is the filters which are very useful! I often shop releases in a specific format from a specific region, so the country and format filters in particular are very welcome! Seeing all replies on the same master page also seems like a good call because as comments rather than long threads they don't really take much space at all. Makes perfect sense.

    That's an example of a nice, compact, informative list. Endorsement from me too.

    Hello! Thank you for the report, can you please give some info about your operating system/browser version?

    And thank y'all for the in the last couple days about what you would want to see in that expandable row. We're definitely planning to iterate with time on components like this, so your is invaluable! We're also trying to create a balanced Master Release page in the sense that we have a ton of s approaching it in different ways, with different goals in mind.

    Something that's come up a few times is the scroll being a bit tough to look at. I'm gonna take this back to the team and we'll discuss it! Thank you for reporting this! If I may ask, why are y'all scrolling down the page quickly? This will help us evaluate what we might be missing here.

    The new master page is not any better here!Everytime I scroll down and ad more versions it either doesn’t load or they all simply disappear with blank areas .Never had this issue before,only till you went to the new master page.

    I am having the same type of issue with releases disappearing and being replaced with blank "placeholder" boxes when scrolling. Infuriating! I click the "load more" or whatever it said and nothing happens. Infuriating! Then I would click on the "load old version" at the top of the page and again, nothing happens! Nice to see all pages seem to be back on the old version for now. Running Windows 10 with Firefox 97.0.1 with Ublock Origin and Unhook extensions. I'm not sure if the old version had some critical problems that needed to be fixed or if someone just decided to "improve" aka bloat the old version for some reason.
    BTW, NO ONE wants to have to keep clicking "show more" over and over and over and over and over. I'm not sure what possible advantage is had by only showing a few more releases with each click. One click "show all" like the old version please. Thank you!

    EDIT FYI these were problems I was having a few days ago. I just decided now to try to find this forum thread to chime in. As it seems to be back to the old version for now, I am not presently having these issues.

    The old one had huge problems with filtering if a master release was fairly large (it could be annoying in small ones too). Try finding a specific version of for example Metallica - Kill 'Em All or Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon using only the filter options in the old master release system.

    When testing things, it also helps to disable such extensions to check if they are causing the problem. (Might still be a discogs problem even if it disappears, but it narrows the problem area down greatly)

    If you link an example master release where it happened (or happens if you can reproduce), it will be much easier to check the possible problem.

    Hey y'all, thank you for the since I've checked last! Wanted to update with a few things:

    -The blank "placeholder" boxes is something we also noticed in testing on Friday, I'm following up about this in the next week.
    -Thank you for your thoughts on show all/show more! It's a balance in finding the right number on large master releases to show without slowing down the page immensely.
    -We're anticipating rolling out the toggle for opting in and out of the new MR page this week for all logged-in s. I'll definitely mention it here when it's up, but this functionality will be up for about two weeks or so. This will also come with a cool feature that folks have definitely mentioned wanting in the past :)

    Again, thank y'all for your and willingness to test the new page!

    I would put the Versions under the MR tracklist, as this is the most important.

    Placing the Credits (which I find pretty useless, and keep opening it by accident) below the tracklist would be a good idea, with the search below that.

    I don't like the look of the grey s. It looks tacky against the general white theme as used by Discogs.

    There's a bug with the Beta on/off. Having turned it on and then off again, if I turn it on again it doesn't open the page I'm on but jumps to the page on which I first enabled it, but without turning it on again. This means I'm no longer able to view the Beta version.

    Sometimes the primary image is useful, other times it's just taking up vertical space. A sticky toggle to show the images or not would be ideal

    As some of y'all may have realized, we're now offering opt-in testing on the new master release page for logged-in s! There's now a Beta version toggle that you should find on the right side of pages, under the "Lists." When you opt in, be sure to check out the new feature we have on the MR...

    -Adding Filtered Results to Wantlist

    Historically, we've only offered the ability to add all the releases in a given master to your wantlist. Do you collect just cassette copies of Dark Side of the Moon? Use the new filters/searching to only see cassette editions, and click "Add _ results to Wantlist." We hope y'all love this feature as much as we do, as it opens up a ton of potential.

    A lot of y'all might also recognize that this is the first opt-in testing on page that we've done when building these new database pages. As we iterate through new work on things like the Release, the Master, Artist, etc pages, we want to use this sort of opt-in testing to let y'all get your hands on new work, test, and give . To create this toggle, our UX & Frontend Engineering team had to build an entirely new component and system from scratch. As such, we anticipate a few issues with this first opt-in trial. For now, I suggest that when toggling between old and new versions of the page to use a logged-in session in an incognito/private window or clearing your cookies/cache for Discogs if experiencing issues. We'll be working on stability, but the caching can be a bit of an issue here.

    You may have been one of the first folks to see this, and there may have been some strangeness as we rolled this out! There were some immediate tweaks made for stability and perhaps you were caught in between. Could you clear your cache/cookies for Discogs on your browser? You should be able to opt back in. If you keep experiencing this, I would use an incognito/private window so your cookies reset when closing out of the browser, at least while we diagnose the issue. Which browser are you using?

    The general idea is to move testing like this off the Labs menu partially due to how these new pages are designed and partially because a lot of s (especially non-Development forum s) weren't ever looking at the Labs menu. This way, we can give more folks power to test in a spot that they're very likely to see!

    More scrols for nothing, it's complicated and larger.
    I reeeeeeealy hope that this would be optional from the settings.

    A new feature on the other hand that I think s will embrace would be the "dark mode" again otional from the settings.. Less energy and less damage in the eyes.

    Re: Master Release Beta Version
    The addition of filters in the Versions section is a nice improvement. It's also kind of nice to see the album images by each listing, but that might be causing some problems on longer lists. Try checking out Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon. If you are down the list just 2 or 3 pages (Show more versions...) and try to go back up the listing boxes are blank. Sometimes they fill back in and other times they do not and require scrolling up and down to get the listings to come back. This problem gets worse the longer the list. Of course it could be those new drop-down boxes tied to each listing that are slowing things down. All the information contained in these boxes can be gleaned by opening that listing or selected from the old drop-down menu. So why does it need to be on the Master Release page? Especially if it's causing problems with the Versions list. If you can't fix this problem, then I hope there will be an option to use the old format.

    Hmmmm, this is intended behavior, but I can see how this could be confusing especially if you are opening that link in a new tab.

    Basically those images are included to provide a quick thumbnail of a Release and quick access to view the image gallery of that release. So if you click on an image in the Versions section, you'll see that particular Release's image gallery without needing to navigate to that release page / open a ton of tabs to compare different Releases.

    However, ittedly that is different UX than other lists of releases on Discogs (like in search), so I can see how that's confusing. Others should feel free to chime in if you have thoughts about this, and I'll chat with our UX Designer too.

    The sort order might be slightly different, but you have the option on the new page to sort from any of those fields: just click on Title, Format, Label, Catalog Number, Country, or Year.
    (And the whole pages doesn't do a slow reload like on the old Master Release page).

    Sounds like it might not be obvious that those fields allow for sorting?

    I do know that, but the default sorting is perfect as it is now... at least for me. You get the key release on top, and then all releases sorted by title+format+year all at the same time.

    In the new one we have "Year" by default and only have the option to choose ONE of those fields so it's impossible to achieve the current default sorting. What if I want to sort by Title + Format + Year?

    Might just be for me, but 'Year' is largely obscured. I get '1....' quite a lot. The MR window needs to be a bit wider on the page or the font smaller imo.

    I'm not really excited about it yet. The fact that you can see the cover images is certainly helpful. But before everything was compact and clear, now it takes up a lot of space and you have to scroll a lot. What is the use of the huge gray box behind everything? A thin line between the entries as before was enough. And have the filters above always to be visible? A small button like the current "Find your version" that unfolds them when needed would be less annoying. In addition, it would be nice to have options to show cover images only half the size or to hide them completely. Then the entries would become compact again like it is with the old view.

    I don't like it, too. I don't need the thumbnail pictures (the artwork always looks the same in 99% of cases anyway), and they unnecessarily waste a lot of space. And I don't like the fact that the beta version overrides the "key release first" rule by default.

    Got it. This is certainly helpful for many s who use the marketplace side of Discogs. I'm more old school and think more database-wise. And it's more important for me to get a complete overview of all releases at first sight before I start to filter. Sometimes I even know what I'm actually looking for only after I've seen everything... ;-)

    If you spend a lot of time ing 78 rpm records and 45 rpm records (without covers), the photos help a TON in the Master Release. I can click on a 100 year old Columbia release and basically see an entire history of the label styles of Columbia Records and ordered by year. Love it.

    The only thing I'm missing on the MR page is the "Your version not on Discogs? Add a release" link. Maybe it's there and I just don't see it? I can totally get used to not having it, just go into the closest release and copy to draft, it's just I got so used to using it. Thanks!

    I have a problem with the filters. For example, if I select "CD" and "Promo", I would expect to see all the CDs that are promos. Instead I see all CDs AND all promos (also on vinyl). This isn't very helpful.

    If I select two options from different drop-down menus (e.g. "CD" and "") it works as expected, then I only see CDs from .

    I understand the basic idea of why options from the same drop-down menu are summarized. In some cases it makes sense, e.g. to show all entries from Gemany and Europe together. However, in the above example it isn't useful.
    To overcome this problem it might be helpful to split the Format drop-down menu into "proper" formats (Vinyl, CD, Cassette, 7", 12" ...) and specials (Compilation, Promo, Unofficial, Stereo ...).

    Not sure if this has been mentioned or if it would be helpful, but when searching by year, you can't see versions without a year listed grouped together.
    Sometimes, especially with major label US reissues / repress, there's not always a year listed.

    I used the new master release page last night to identify some records where there were lots of variations -- Rod Stewart, Cat Stevens, Alan Parsons, etc. -- and it made the process of identifying them WAAAY quicker than the old version finding thing used to be, so THANK YOU!

    Two changes I'd love:

    1. search by more than one field (distributed by HMV AND pressed by Quality, for a made-up example).

    2. Having the image of the label rather than the front cover, because for most of the LPs, I was flipping back and forth to find label variants. And yes, I guess you can't do that so long as we just have random images for each release.

    But thanks for this. The pages loaded more quickly than they used to, and led me to the variant I was trying to find far more quickly.

    I really don't like the new beta version. With releases that have many different versions, over years, it takes too long to scroll through them all and then having to load more results is an added pain.

    The old, compact lists are quicker to scan through.

    Please at least keep the button to switch to the old version available for those who prefer it.

    My thoughts exactly. Also, it's annoying you switch it off, then go to one release under the master release, then return to all versions, only to see the new format switched on again.

    I like it. It's an improvement. My nitpicks:

    - the 'load more...' option should simply be 'view all...'. I imagine most people are going to either a) immediately start using the filters or b) want to see all items at once. I can't envision a use-case where someone just wants to see half the items. As it is now, if I do want to see all the items, it's a rather annoying process of click 'view more', wait, scroll, click 'view more', wait, scroll, click 'view more', wait, scroll, etc. Tedious. Just give me one button to 'view all' please.

    - the expand/collapse section is...interesting, but doesn't seem particularly useful. If it's adding to page load, we can maybe do with out that. (But if not, no harm, I suppose)

    I really like the ability to now add a filtered set of options to my want list. This has been a LONG wanted feature and I think this is a good way to handle it.

    Dream feature wish: an ability to shift all the thumbnails to the next photo. For example, filtering down to 'LP' and then being able to click 'next photo' to get all of the thumbnails showing the label. That'd make narrowing down what we're looking for so much faster.

    I discover the new MR page yesterday (using the Opera browser on Windows 10) - I like it! Especially that we now see the full free form text in the format field rather than just the first 3 letters, and can filter directly from the page.

    As other people already pointed out, I find the the filtering on multiple Formats pretty strange from a logical point of view. Let me take an example on a small MR like Michael Falch:

    1) When I filter on Format = CD, only CD versions are shown -> this makes sense
    2) When I filter on Format = CD + Reissue, all CD versions (reissue or not) plus LP versions (reissue only) are shown -> this makes no sense. I would expect only CD reissues to be shown.

    I don't really understand the logic behind. In my opinion it would make more sense to apply a strict logical AND between all Formats chosen. Even if it implies that when I filter on LP+CD I would get nothing, except if there is a release out there that contains both an LP and a CD.

    On the other hand, I like the fact that when multiple countries are shown, all releases matching one of the values are shown (logical OR). That's very useful for us people coming from small European countries like Denmark. I never now beforehand whether country of my Danish LP from the 1980's will be Denmark, Scandinavia, Netherlands [sic], UK & Europe or Europe and I have to sift through them all.

    I also think it makes sense with a logical OR between different values in Year and Label. Which is also how it works.

    Keep up the good work!

    This is no longer working for me.
    When I try to filter the list I see the results display correctly for a fraction of a second and then it goes blank. I have just a column of white boxes. Scrolling either way makes the releases appear again but only for a split-second and then they're gone again.

    it would make more sense to apply a strict logical AND between all Formats chosen.

    Well, I like the opportunity to search both CD and LP at the same time. I think the problem lies elsewhere: Referencing the submission form 'Reissue' is not a main format, it's a description. By calling it a 'Format' on the MR-page, are getting confused. You can still do your search though, by only checking 'CD' as format and writing "reissue" in the 'Search barcodes and other identifiers' field.

    This is no longer working for me.
    When I try to filter the list I see the results display correctly for a fraction of a second and then it goes blank. I have just a column of white boxes. Scrolling either way makes the releases appear again but only for a split-second and then they're gone again.

    Happened to me too. Refreshing didn't help.

    Hello everyone! Some updates on where we're at with this rollout:

    First, we want to thank everyone who has spent some time testing out the new MR page. Your is, and will continue to be, invaluable. It's also encouraging to the team to see so much positive mixed with constructive criticism and error reports, so thank you all for that!

    We originally intended to transition all s to see this page permanently by now, given the stated timeline from the first post in this thread. However, we've been listening and thinking through ways to improve the page with your . So we've decided to allow the current opt-in/opt-out toggle version of the page to be what everyone is served until further notice. We want to build out some features (more on this below), continue to optimize the page for as many s as possible, and gather more . At some point, the transition will be made to show this new page as the only version of Master Release page, though it will not be this month. We'll still be monitoring this thread and responding, and I'll post updates when we make tweaks based on community . On top of that, when we do start to phase out the opt-in testing, I'll give sufficient notice in this thread. Hopefully, this gives everyone a chance to test even further. And, if you were someone who was voluntarily opting out of the new page, to help us refine the features we've been building.

    Onto some of the iterations we're exploring:
    -Our UI/UX team is working through some designs for a text-only view option on both Desktop and Mobile. A lot of folks have expressed enjoying the cover thumbnails, but a lot of folks also don't want/need them. We want to give y'all the choice.
    -Deeper filtering options. Still in early development, but we're thinking through ways to better filter by format to narrow down what you're looking for.
    -A few other things we're initially exploring but may be quite exciting ;-)

    Thank you for reading and keep that coming!

    Hello! Thank you for the report - if you don't mind sharing, what OS/Browser combo are you using? Just trying to see if I can reproduce this error/what might be causing it.

    True. This would no longer be possible with my suggestion of a logical OR between all formats.

    Indeed, and if anything, this is really confusing.

    Yes, more work is needed here.

    Two bugs with the new MR

    1. cookie settings aren't carried when you switch the Beta view on, so the video shows (when I had it turned off), and prices come up in $ (when I have them at £)

    2. MR sorting is ignoring the key release, as date sorting is turned on by default.

    I don't know if it has anything to do with the rollout of the new master release page, but since then companies and credits are all tiny (I mean the size of the font is very small). I have to zoom up to 150% to get back to the original size.

    I love the new MR feature, though I wish it would stop turning itself off. The new MR list stopped working for me today. It worked yesterday. Today when I turn on the new MR option, the entire lists flashes briefly in the new style and then vanishes altogether.

    Browser is Brave Version 1.36.119 Chromium: 99.0.4844.83 (Official Build) (64-bit)
    OS is openSUSE Leap 15.3

    I tested in Microsoft Edge (dev) on the same computer w/o logging in to my Discogs . The new MR syle was on by default (cool!) and it was working fine until I turned it off and back on, at which point it vanished just like it did in Brave.

    I signed out of Discogs in Brave and cleared all Discogs.com cookies and data, but the new MR section is gone. Reverting to the old version shows the old list format.

    Sorry for being unclear. Reproducing the bug:

    1. Click on a drop down list to "activcate" it.
    2. Left click on the scroll list inside the drop down list.
    Result: Drop down list closes.

    The same result happens both when left clicking and holding as well as left clicking and releasing the mouse button.

    Scrolling with the mouse wheel works as intended.

    Seeing this same thing. Scroll wheel works but using the drag bar or arrows closes the menu. Firefox Windows 98.01

    Data quality rating "Needs review" is invisible in the new layout because its colour is grey. It can not be told apart from the "Correct" rating anymore.

    Not specifically to do with the new version: you can't copy/paste the master release ID in the old version (by left clicking and right clicking; you can't select it at all by dragging). You can in the new.
