I got notice when I submit new "Associated Names" for an existing series. I edit a couple other series info successfully but always get the same error every time I try to add alternate names.

At first I thought it was because of the chinese character I use but then after trying to submit one character at a time (=P) the suspicion turned to be false. After a bit searching I found out that a couple of the names that I tried to add were already used by one other series. So, that's why I got that error message!

A more informative error message would be great for this thing. Would save people from some headache, though I believe it will be rare.

(It seems that the two series I mentioned here is the same series. One is based on the licensed english version, while the other one is based on the mandarin version. I will need to confirm the similarity first though.)

Yea, that is a result of a change to the database a while back with the addition of unique keys. Admins get a more descriptive duplicate key error while others get a "site offline error"...

I think i just fixed it?

Edit: Actually i broke everything and didn't notice it for like 10 minutes.. should be fixed now...
