First, let me thank you for introducing me to that discogs site. Never heard of it, and I do have some old vinyl records, in great condition, that might (in at least a few cases) have some value. Most of them, sadly, are of artists (e.g., Perry Como) that I liked a lot, but probably are less collectible in 2021.
Now, with regard to your question: I used to teach diagnostic thinking, and what you've posted prompted a couple of questions in my mind to try to narrow things down.
- Specifically around the timing: You mention that things were working fine for 18 months but two weeks ago you began to get the error message.
- What's not clear--and clarity is of the essence in determining cause--is whether that error message now happens ALL the time--with every link clicked--or only selectively. If selectively what is distinctive to the ones that generate the error as contrasted with those that don't?
- Is there a community in discogs where you could post the question, find out if other people are experiencing the same?
- themajordudeMay 20, 2021Copper ContributorThanks for that. Yes Discogs is a great site. Will checl with them re problem.
