| | Posted: | | | | So far we have: Jan 21, 2010 - Rules change - Removed the restriction on submission of changed disc IDs. Submission no longer requires other changes in the contribution. Jan 22, 2010 - System Change - The acceptance system now removes 'Credited As' entries from cast/crew which reflect only a case change. Both are very welcomed from me! Can't wait to see more.  |

Both are very welcomed from me! Can't wait to see more. Two very sensible changes!  Thanks. P.S. - Rick, you may want to correct the spelling of "discussion" in the title. Sorry, it's the "school teacher" in me!  | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| | Posted: | | | | I would like to see a rule update to mention the type of subtitles allowed to be selected. Should subtitles be ticked if they are burnt in or forced? The rules aren't clear on this at all and IMO a subtitle track is a subtitle track, whether it's burnt in, forced or only available via the subtitle button on your remote. |

Jan 21, 2010 - Rules change - Removed the restriction on submission of changed disc IDs. Submission no longer requires other changes in the contribution. Could someone explain how this works. If Disc ID A is overwritten by Disc ID B, then if a user tries to add by Disc ID and they have Disc ID A, will the program locate this profile? If not, what advantage is it to contribute alternate Disc IDs? I know Ken has explained in the past that these are somehow stored. I just don't get it.  | | | ...James

Yes, as I understand it, the program will locate the profile as long as the Disc ID has been submitted. Only the most recent one shows, but they are all there. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I have not yet encountered what you describe, I presume that if the DiscID is in the system that it would recover it if I am reading my disc. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | All I remember being said about it is that he wanted them and that they were stored for future development.
I personally would like to see it somehow not show as Changed if that particular Disc ID is already stored in the database since at this point there is no way to be sure if he already has it.
I usually put both Disc IDs (new and one being replaced) in my notes but not everyone does this so it only helps a little.

(language problem ) If you contribute Danny DeVito [Danny Devito], the system will strip the Credited As of [Danny Devito] so that only the name Danny DeVito remains. | | | ...James
