First of all, make sure to refresh the page so the new code loads (or load a new page).
Secondly, what web browser are you using?

Firefox-bug should be fixed now as well

Let me know if you run into any other problems.

Fixed!

I've seen my post count skyrocket after participating in the Movie Title Game thread.

Custom categories raised to 50, still working on excluding titles of non-interest in the recommendations.

I have to go back and edit it again a second time, sometimes a third, before the "year, month, day, hour" I enter sticks. It's getting tedious. Is there a way to fix this? I agree with the previous poster that it was much more convenient when it defaulted to today's date. I also very much like the idea of another poster to make a "watching now" button available.

Should be patched now and I'm really sorry about the long delay of fixing this! Thanks for reporting as always

I don't believe that vBulletin offers that option in their software. You can however list your MSN/Yahoo/Etc. messaging programs in your user profile.

Because we have to type "Enter" is the iPhone doesn't have that feature.

Coming shortly!

Use keywords and username

Click the "Blu-ray" tabs.

This started a week ago and hasn't resolved itself. What changed?

Oops, sorry about that, should be fixed now

However, if you do this it doesn't show up as "NEW" in your collection. Adding it via the page for the blu-ray does.

This should be patched, thanks a lot for reporting

If I try to type any film's title entirely without stopping, several letters are missing. I type fast, but am not one to make typos often, so the whole auto-fill thing does not work for me. Can I at least turn this feature off somehow?

That sounds really strange and like a browser bug, I can type as fast as possible (faster than 99% of the population) and have still never run into this type of problem. Are you missing random letters here and there or is it the last letters typed in the search field that go missing. What web browser are you using? Do you have a fast or slow internet connection?

Same question, what web browser/operating system do you have trouble typing? What's your connection speed?

To remove the NEW I think you have to select ''Watched'' - after that it will go away. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That is correct. However, I find that solution rather erhm stupid as you have to first delete the film from your collection and then add it again and at the same time mark it 'watched'. Do correct me if I've understood it incorrectly.

Doh
Fixed, thanks for your patience

Be nice to just undo those site improvements!

I can't replicate this error. Do you have this problem when you are logged in or logged out or both?

Thanks.

It should work to click on the small "B" to the top-right. The quick search will show the globe icon, but the site will be using your "My settings".
