Help keep MovieLens up to date!
[archived]
Hi everyone,

Just a quick note -- over the next few weeks, we'll be trying out a couple different ways of giving the users more control over the MovieLens movie database. You'll be able to help keep MovieLens up to date and decide what titles should be listed.

Some of you will see announcements about this on the front page. If you do, please feel free to contribute!

We're still working out some kinks, so let us know if you see anything that seems wrong.

-Tony

  Hey admins, I see the new page with the submissions to vote for but after I check the vote boxes for the movies I things are appropriate it isn't obvious what to do next, is there some submit button? to submit my votes?

Just like rating movies and maintaining your wishlist, there is no need to press a submit button to save your votes. Sorry if that was unclear or confusing!

  I saw the option to vote for movies other have submitted for a while. Now I don't get that on my home page.

Additionally, the page is acting flaky in firefox 2.0.0.17. It appears to render okay on firefox 3 or IE. Some of the links aren't working on the page, like the search button in the left navigation pane.

I've tried manually logging out and logging back in but that didn't help. Eventually I had to clear out my cookie for movielens. Is anyone else seeing this?

  Is this why "Suggest a title" is now missing from all pages? I can't find it anywhere. :-(

Hmm. We'll look into the Firefox 2.x problems, although that probably doesn't have anything to do with whether you have the movie-adding options available to you.

We're experimenting with different ways of letting users add movies, and the feature isn't always turned on for everyone. That's the most likely explanation if you don't see the links on the home page.

I can understand not being able to submit but I do think it's strange that when the option to submit is closed then the option to vote is closed also. I was wondering if this was intentional or a sort of glitch?

  I'm not able to submit movies at the moment, so it'd be great if someone added Wallace and Gromit in 'A Matter of Loaf and Death' (2008). Yes, it's a TV movie and short, but also a worthy addition.

  Add Habana Blues (2005), please. The release is globally wide enough for Movielens' purposes.
