I Had To re-upload A Song and...

TnyjMuzic	Date: February 22, 2008 @ 2:18 PM All the comments i had are no longer there. This this what happens when you re-upload a song? Is there a way to get the comments back?
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 22, 2008 @ 2:23 PM If you deleted the old song and uploaded a song from scratch, rather than using the "Change Song File" option within the properties of the old song, the system will rightfully see it as a new upload (would make a hell of a mess if it didn't). Which of these two methods did you use?
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 22, 2008 @ 2:45 PM Of course, since things here aren't actually functioning right half the time (and different browsers are creating different variations of upload Hell) I'd be willing to bet the comments are probably gone. If you uploaded to a new file rather than overwrote the old one, if you can remember the old song's file ID (the 6 digit number on the end of the download/comment links) and open another song's comments, then replace the number in the address bar with the number of the old track, see if the old comments show. This used to work with old pics and journals but no idea if it worked with artist pages.
ShadowMom	Date: February 22, 2008 @ 2:59 PM Please read the forums before you start new threads, Tony. I put this information in the site outage thread earlier today, posted it in the community shoutbox, and it's in my journal. If you want to replace files, and you just can't wait, please read this first... Don't Make Me Google You - by ShadowMom You'll save us all a lot of work if you read this first. Mostly me. But that COUNTS, you know!
TnyjMuzic	Date: February 22, 2008 @ 3:33 PM ChillinBuzz i did not delete the old song at all. I just re-uploaded it. So are you saying my comments are still there? Ok shadowmom maybe i missed your thread but i will look more carefully in future.
ShadowMom	Date: February 22, 2008 @ 4:10 PM What track, Tony?
miraclemaker	Date: February 23, 2008 @ 3:03 AM I was playing around so much tryin to stream that I deleted the track with the comments
TnyjMuzic	Date: February 23, 2008 @ 3:36 AM ShadowMom i figuared out the problem. If i told you what happened you wouldn,t believe me so i won't but problem solved..for now. Thank you all for your help.Ironically what miraclemaker posted is sort of what happened until i realized it Oh Well..thanx again
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 23, 2008 @ 4:20 AM "sort of what happened"? he deleted the track, you said you didn't... huh? and if you found a way to fix it, then how about telling us, regardless of how silly it might sound to you, for it might save another member the hassle of trying to fix it if they get the same problem.
Distilled1	Date: February 23, 2008 @ 4:57 AM yes share and share alike.
TnyjMuzic	Date: February 23, 2008 @ 5:05 AM Ok..but keep in mind i never claimed to be a Computer Wiz. While i was uploading a song that had gone missing.I noticed the song's visibliy was not on so...i turned it on. By the way i thought the song upload feature wasn't working last i heard. Now i can upload some of my new stuff. So anyway there is it. Use this knowledge carefully and not for the purpose of evil.
ShadowMom	Date: February 23, 2008 @ 5:22 AM Tony, that's exactly what I told you to do. Too many people are deleting the old track... and losing their comments. As long as it it TITLED exactly the same, it automatically replaces the old file.
TnyjMuzic	Date: February 23, 2008 @ 5:26 AM Thanx Shadowmom. Like always you come to the rescue and save the day.
