I tried to submit the following albums over here (Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 3, LSO, Gergiev, LSO Live & Davies, Maxwell: Symphony No. 10, LSO, Pappano, LSO Live) but the page was closed. Has anybody heard when the "Submit" page will be again in use?

Be patient.
When upgrade is ready, Zeus will put it back on-line.
Or would you prefer to have something that doesn't work quite right yet, just so you can submit your data?

Well, I wait until the upgrade process is complete. Hopefully it doesn't take much time - few weeks, maybe?

Well yes, it is the only way most of us will find out about these new releases.

I want to say something about the new look, but I'm speechless, so I'll leave it at that.

you can see all your own cd's in all types of listings; nice
You cannot change your password; not nice
you cannot change the number of cd's/page; not nice
You cannot see all info at once, you have to expand by clicking the "+"; not nice
If you click on a "+" the other "+" 's collapses; not nice
You cannot see if items are on your wish list (in listings); not nice
Menu disappears;you have to click on symbol to get menu back; not nice
No permanent search balk; not nice
No forum; not nice
The layout is really not great;not nice
The "add to wishlist/library" shoud be on top of cd-page; not nice
If you click on a cd from you library you do not go the cd-info page directly; not nice
I used the unique numbers from sa-cd.net for my own database; these numbers are no more; not nice
So all in all somewhat mixed feelings...

To Stephen and John Broggio:
In the past, in private communications with both of you, I expressed an interest in contributing to this site, and have done so by writing more than 20 reviews. Every one of those reviews involved close listening to the subject SACD, comparison listenings to other performances or other releases, researching musician biographies, and careful writing and editing.
Those reviews took considerable time and energy. My piece about Charles Mingus' Tijuana Moods (Charlie Mingus: Tijuana Moods), an SACD that I submitted to the site, runs to 1,000 words. I'm only one of many site users who took the trouble and expense to purchase SACDs, submit titles and write thoughtful and useful reviews.
The compensation I received was a platform to share my thoughts publicly with a community of music enthusiasts from many different countries.
On the new site, in place of my review of Tijuana Moods there is a short, generic blurb. In place of my detailed review of Wanderer-Christoph Prégardien (which was the sole review of that release), are the first two paragraphs of the disc's liner notes. It is difficult to imagine that first-time visitors to the new site will find either of those reviews to be more than placeholders.
It is my sincere hope that you will consider retaining users' reviews in the new site.

That's a good point Mark, and it makes me want to ask Zues, what's the new quid pro quo? What's the 'win' for members?
