I think the lack of timestamp is a one way to get old tracks bumped, but another way would be to have the cost for bumping decay over time.
However, if they are going this route then they need to get rid of the bullshit achievement thing where youare rewarded for bumping songs posted over a month ago.
I still think they should have a timestamp for the first 24 hours or the first few days. It's a helpful part of the game.
On another point, the lack of indication that a song has posted is very f*cking annoying. When I see that a song has posted I often go to the home page and bump it up the page if I want to help it along. It's a huge part of the game for me. I like to feel as if I contribute to giving the song recognition. I guess they want me to constantly check the homepage, but it's not going to happen and a lot of songs will go missed by me. |

I wrote a Grease Monkey script to add the Artist's level and the time the song was posted:

Let me be the first to say that you are the fucking man for this.
Is there anything preventing you from making these additions static? Though useful as is, its not wholly viable to go from page to page, clicking it every time to activate it. If you could make the information omnipresent in the browse, you'd be my new hero. _________________ Let's be friends. |

Thesixtyone.com website is completely dynamic and uses AJAX for all page refreshes. That's why you can listen to the music while still navigating around. I'm still trying to figure out how to do the 'Super Browse' automatically. Since everything is loaded asynchronously, it's difficult to know when to start doing the 'Super Browse'.
BTW, I've been using this script ever since they removed the timestamp. I think I wrote it within a couple of days of them doing that. I was going to hoard but decided to share with everyone.
RB's if you like it!

I'm digging the script. I did have a tough time installing it, maybe because i'm on a Mac, but thanks Arcadia for the help. Much appreciated. I'll go bump both of your radios a few times this week.
Also, I'm moving this script to the scripts forum  _________________ ---

Did you have to make any changes to the script to get it to work on a MAC? If so, please let me know so I can incorporate them into the next version.
Thanks! Glad you like it. |

Thanks for that script! RB is on the way...couldn't leave a comment on your page.
Perhaps the 'auto-refresh' could be solved by creating a -> 'next' type button that would get you from page x to x+1 then run your super browse script? I don't code, but with the various UI scripts I've seen it seems like that would be possible.
my kingdom for anyone that can show me the historical cost of what I've bumped on the stats page.
did I say 'awww yeah' yet? awwww yeahhhh.
thanks again! _________________ I cook and then I chill

while we're fantasizing, how about something that can give one the net return on any song that's been bumped. |

This feature would be very easy for them to do. I'm not sure why they don't. Also, they do not expose the cost of a bumped song so I'm not sure this script could be done. The only way I can think of doing it is to store the cost of the bump in a cookie when you bump it. Then use the cookie data to show you the net return of the song. Hmmmm.... let me think about this one some more.... |

I'll do anything for radio bumps apparently.
I figured out how to do Super Browse automatically. I'll be releasing shortly. I want to play around with it some more to make sure it's stable.

No I didn't have to do anything to the script to get it to work, but installation was a bit odd. Not hard, but clicking the install button on the site didn't do it. I had to manually do it.
I can't find you on the site to give you a bump, Conway. What are you under? _________________ ---

If we're fantasizing, then I'd like to be able to sort/filter on all history also. _________________ I cook and then I chill
