benj -

I sent you an email with a screenshot a few minutes ago so you could see the problem I'm having. Let me know if you didn't get it, or if you need a different screenshot, and I'll try again.

Also, I can't add new films using their IMDB URLs. I get the message "ERROR - Film not yet confirmed."

I love the new design, but I tried going back to the old design for some housekeeping (at fwxr.com), but I am logged in as Anonymous there, and it does not let me logoff, even though I deleted the domain cookie nd cleared the cache.
Found it!

This usually means the film has no year of release currently against it on IMDB. Can you check and if this isn't the case please let me know the film(s) you're trying to add.

The two films I tried to add this morning are:

BEHIND PRISON GATES (1939)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031091/combined

KEEP IT KOSHER (2011)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049481/combined

*******
Never mind. It's working now. All I had to do was eliminate the "combined" part of the URL. (I'm not even sure why that part comes up.)

The more I use it, the more I like. Thanks, benj.

First question--How does one access New Reviews? I'm sure it's simple but so am I and it is eluding me.

Next--reviews and film titles with letters with diacritics don't seem to work. This was brought up some months ago. Is it fixable?

The new version has much more functionality and this is very welcome.

It looks good, but I've not really had the chance to explore the whole site yet.

MyFWFR tells me I have 1252 messages. Last time I looked there was only about 25 or 30 in the inbox. did you copy a load over from the old database?

Also, I can only delete one at a time. For myself, Cheese_Ed and Sean, deleting messages after the weekly FWTO/FWPT/Avatar comps could become a bit of a chore. Can this be changed?

After editing a message and sending it, it defaults back to the home page. Can you change it so it stays on the same page?

Thanks.

I love how it doesn't take you away from the movie that you just reviewed. One less step of clinking another link back to the movie if you have more than 1 review.

Just like it does when submitting reviews

The "old" PM system used to send me an email whenever I was sent a PM. The new system doesn't seem to do this. As my phone is a bit old and clunky, it has trouble with the new site, so it makes it more difficult for me to check my messages/emails to see who's voted etc.


Both Firefox and IE8 seem to be having trouble showing the funky letter in Seans name, but only on the website. The fourum seems OK.

I think that it's nice that the old site is available.

Noted- will be sorting this soon.

I suspect this was probably an issue on all browsers. Note I said 'was'- should be sorted now

Wasn't aware this was happening (should indeed be working the same way as submitting reviews, i.e. stays on the same page)- will also get this fixed.
