Tabulator character = ASCII code (9)
Some examples:
https://redump.info/disc/17151/ > "T-13203H01 *1S* MADE IN USA"
https://redump.info/disc/17043/ > "*3S* T-8133H-50"
https://redump.info/disc/18020/ > "*3S* 51128 AF.9.51128 B"
https://redump.info/disc/17365/ > "%SOULFIGHTER Z9B18C"
https://redump.info/disc/17468/ > "MK-51021-0018SS EMI CD HOLLAND @ 3"
https://redump.info/disc/19213/ > "CDD7062 R880DCED(2) ∙ IFPI L123 ∙ MASTERED BY NIMBUS ∙"
https://redump.info/disc/20829/ > "Sony DADC A0100386089-A511 17"
Generally replacing two and more white space signs with a tabulator.

usurper, i think you misunderstand the meaning of the ring fields in edit form:
each unique ring hast two rows, the first one is layer0 or CD/DVD5, the second row is for layer1 or discs with extra ring information.

And when you need to enter more than 1 ringcode, add the rest into the comments or into some post in the "dumps" section along with the dump info - since you can't add more than 1 ringcode per add/edit session, the additional empty field will appear only on the next edit.

Could you elaborate a bit more on how exactly to do this. I'm such a noob.
EDIT: NM.. Notepad to the rescue. Totally forgot about copy/paste mechanics.

ah, i missed this too
how to make ring green?
it looks like i have a matching WOW expansion, even IFPI's are the same
which is pretty strange IMHO
but i don't see an option to set color
do i add it 2nd time exactly the same and it will group and become green?

Nope, to make it green certain admins can set a checkbox. You need to prove the ringcode is correct - make a scan of it.

could you, please, insert line in disc submission form to separate rings per disc?
edit:
maybe in view too, it's kinda weird looking now
https://redump.info/disc/18613/
all ring fields blend togeather
in this case they can be distinguished by pattern
but if rings were more alike it would be a mess IMHO
labels in edit form would be great too

Ok, so this means for new unique ring information i have to chose a new "set" fields in the edit form right? So if there is just one ring info per disc i have to leave the second line empty right?

I have generally some problems understanding to add proper ring codes in special cases.
Like on Xbox or Xbox360 we have DVD-9 images with 2 layer ring code information, which I understand now that they have to be added as a pair which sounds reasonable. But those discs also got 2 mould codes; one on the data side and one on the label side.
How do I add the mould codes? Data side I always added to one of the two layer ring codes, but what to do with the mould code from the label side? I used to use a new row for it as shown here:
https://redump.info/disc/20641/ but I saw on the other approvals from ir0b0t from today, that he was adding each mould code to each layer ring code information:
https://redump.info/disc/20693/
Using this way you will never see, what is the mould code on data and what is the mould code on the label side. Is that information useful in any way?
Additionally I would like to know on how to proceed with discs (e.g. some PS2 Platinum discs), that got ring information on the label side. Should I pair this with the ones from data side or should I use a new dedicated line for it, which makes more sense imho. A special case would be a PS2 DVD-9 Platinum with 3 “lines” of ring information, meaning 2 layer ring codes and one ring code from label side.
Last point… Nintendo Discs. NGC and Wii Discs got a mould code on label side as well. Should I pair them with the data side ring code info or separated; e.g.
https://redump.info/disc/20084/
Again, this will be difficult for Wii DVD-9 discs.
I would like to get the right understanding for ding the ring information the correct way.
Thanks!
