Site improvements and Wiki

Since the PS3 games are country specific, we could have a single list like we have for BDs. Ideally the theatrical/master movies should have multiple drop-downs for different country ratings (instead of just one like now) and if we make master entries for games, then we can have multiple drop-downs as well.

It looks like BBFC is on the way out though for games and being replaced by PEGI:

Just click "Clear" and then submit them empty (and we will remove seconds).

You can search by UPC/EAN code there

We got auto UPC/EAN when adding a title from retailers, but not from all the retailers.

For that we will need front/back cover and/or every submission with that code in title comment for example...

It seems impossible right now, but most of titles you can already search by EAN/UPC.

Right now I have to search for a title, find what I think is the correct version from the list, verify UPC code, and then add the title to my collection. This isn't too hard if you already have a collection established on Blu-ray.com but it can be an uphill chore for those trying to add a large existing collection. It was quite painful to add my BD collection when I only had 400+ titles; I don't want to imagine what it would be like to try and add my DVD collection to the site.

We could add a collection mass-import by UPC? Then you could just copy-paste a long list of UPCs separated by comma, space or line-break or similar?

Good point, I will fix that tomorrow
(We will also add quick search by UPC).

We have opened up UPC/EAN in the edit interface and we will open up more options/tools previously only available for admins to make the database as usable as possible for everyone.

As a complement to "Unique movies" you can now set "Unique cuts".

[MovieFanatic2010]

I think it would be great if the site Blu-ray reviewers would list what equipment (Audio and Video) that they viewed the Blu-ray that they reviewed on.

Update your preferences

That would be neat but slightly complicated, let me think about how to solve that

You guys barely cover it and I am sure if you gave us a chance, you would see a lot of improvement when linking actors, directors to their movies.

Just an example, Quentin Tarantino isn't linked with Jackie Brown. And in Inception, other than Leonardo DiCaprio, the other cast had a very minor role, where are the rest of the cast?

Of course those were only 2 examples out of the thousand.

Hoping you would consider this.

This is being worked on

Some other sites that I am a member of, repeat at the bottom of each page of a thread, the ability to go back to the main sub-forum thread. It is identical to the top of each page like what appears at the top of this page:

Done!

Thanks for being so on the ball regarding making Blu-ray.com the one stop home of collectors! Much Appreciated!

Just one thing I think may need attention:

For South African releases, the ratings (age restrictions) are stated as "South Africa: XX" and these prove to be too long, as most is cut off on the actual item's page. It states: "|Rated South Afri|".

I think the South Africa ratings should maybe be changed to "FPB XX" as the Film and Publication Board is who is responsible for South African ratings.

Thank you so much.

Patched

Its fantastic to sort collection by the current best price through amazon/best-buy.

Any way we could have a sort option on the collection page that is by third party price. Should be possible, since its in the db with every title.

Thanks for the private message I got for my previous question.

I got another question now. I edit often the french releases and I realize there is no rating system for the french movies.
Despite it exists in France.
You can have a look on this page (in french): http://www.csa.fr/protection_mineurs_TV/signaux01.html
It could be nice to add them in the rating system maybe in this way (very similar with the german rating FSK):
CSA-All publics (or 0)
CSA-10
CSA-12
CSA-16
CSA-18 (very rare because it's only for X content and there is no pornographic movies on blu-ray.com). Still there is few non-pornographic french releases which got this rating because of an ultra-violent content (i.e Cannibal Holocaust).

I don't know if the admins will add this suggestion to there website in the future but thanks in advance.

One quick easy solution which I'm not sure you like, is to create a new "Not interested" category/folder in your collection and place all titles you aren't interested in there and then use the filtering again. You can set the category to not add any titles inside it to your total collection count ("Manage categories").

Sorry about that, we had a temporary problem with a third party plugin which should have been fixed now
