I got an idea:
Ken, can a filter or slight change to the contribution, be put in so that as long as the 3 genre's listed are the same between the current profile and the update being contributed it treats it as no change. So if someone reorders genres to their preference and corrects the overview. when they go to contribute the changes it will only display the overview as a change and not the genre
-Agrare Great idea!  | | |

Even if Television isn't strictly a 'genre' it's there in the genre list and is obviously intended to be used as such. It's useful for sorts to find or exclude television programs, so I wouldn't advocate or support getting rid of it.
As to the order of genres, I fail to understand the purpose of making a submission that reorders genres or being concerned about the order of them at all. Neither do I gard, though i could speculate. but.. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

I'll agree with that with this caveat, I would list any Genre genre, such as TV, Classic, Family and so forth in the third spot, but whatever Ken dioes ifs fine by me. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

I would have thought the best idea was just to have the genres listed alphabetically, with a tick box to indicate the primary genre for the profile.
Paul:
That sounds like grounds for more fights.  How do you determine what the primary genre is. Is Desk Set a Comedy or a Romance. That like everything else as it relates to genre is purely subjective and can vary from user to user.
Skip I was trying to remove anything to do with order and just have an alphabetical list. The selection of the primary genre was purely so that the existing functionality where films can be listed in genre order would be maintained. and this is already done for all films - it's what is the 1st genre slot. If people prefer not to have the existing sorting by genre then remove the checkbox and it would be only alphabetical | | | | Paul |
