New database error discussion thread

Appreciate the input but as i said i wont be making any changes. Something like that will have to be done by the higher up.

I reckon people will do what they do, if lars is fine with the way it is then so am i. I make some minor corrections to established flavorings on occasion but only a couple a week, if that. So much to do here at home and so little time.

Id imagine that as soon as the new name goes on a bottle to ship out some folks will enter the new name. Im not sure its any big deal since there are still 450 billion nonsense names so a couple dupes like these are much of an issue.

Hope that didnt come off as snarky. I took a bunch of CBN for sleepy time and it is kicking in big time. So relaxed right now…

I added flavor notes for RY4 Ever (One Shot) (Flavor Jungle) and I discovered that there are two pages of the exact flavor. One has my notes, the other doesn’t. Can the two be merged?

It looks like the one with the “dash” is correct:

@Ken_O_Where should be able to take care of that

Oh right, I see it now. I think I may have automatically picked the one with the most recipes. Thx Rocky

Yeah that’s generally the way to go, but the problem starts when someone first enters a flavor in the database incorrectly and everyone else just goes with it. No fault, it’s just part of the problem that’s not repairable with an open database.

I was trying to fix it myself and I think I accidently deleted my notes. I added the correct spelling to my stash and deleted the one incorrectly spelled. After that my notes were gone. I didn’t realize that you lose your notes when you delete the flavor from your stash. That doesn’t seem right!

Yes, once you delete a flavor from your stash, you lose your notes and anyone that depends on Your notes will no longer see them.
That’s why @Frunkster also post notes under user name The lost notes on the recipe side…

I didn’t know you could do that. Lol, I thought that was a person!
Thx Rocky :+1:

Well you can’t do it on the forum side but on the recipe side you can,
He (or she) does this so when a flavor is deleted from stash the valuable notes will still be there!

So does everyone use the name The lost notes? Or are there other made up names?

4 Likes

No you can’t use that, it’s @Frunkster as I said said above…

Yes indeed, but I won’t get into that here….

Okay maybe I’m not understanding this right. Doing this would be a personal decision of the mixer, therefore each alias is different. It’s not a shared community thing where we would “throw” our notes into The lost notes name because we’re about to delete a flavor. Is my brain crazy or what? Maybe I think too abstract :crazy_face:
