This is more of an issue with inputing staff, but why does the Multi-input mode crash after a certain amount of people are added to the list?

For example, I'm busy editing a page with next to no key animator credits (or at the least, very few). I get the first part, where it tells me which animators I can or cannot add instantly, and I make my corrections. But when I click the "Re-verify Information" button on an exceptionally long list of animators I had to either correct or completely throw on the wayside, the screen goes blank and doesn't continue on to the redone staff list, no matter how many times I refresh it.

And it's not a one off problem either. This has happened plenty of times while editing the pages for anime#1394, anime#12434 and just now, anime#2884 (there's a few others, but I can't remember them off the top of my head).

Is there a reason for it, like is it because I'm adding too many staff members at one time? Or is it a bug someone has failed to address? I'd love to know the answer sooner than later.

I've noticed this problem as well. The only way I've found around it is to enter less credits at a time. I have not tested to see if there is a set amount of info that triggers the blank screen when you try to re-verify or add. If I did the latter, anything that was appropriately checked was added despite the blank screen, but I had to re-do anything that required further verification and trim out the stuff already entered. I doubt this is intentional, so maybe Dan can find out what's up and fix it if he sees this thread.

It might be related to this (staff only)?

I think it's 25 or thereabouts. I'm not too sure, it's normally fine with any number below that.

Around 25 for me as well. I though I was just timing out because my lap top is super slow and sometimes my internet connection is equally slow.
