| | Posted: | | | | I have made a change in role of a 'crew' member of a title. In my database it does appear as seen on the movie credits, however, when I am contributing that change to the online database, the name is deleted
- steps (under crew)
Name of crew member : Other : Adaptation by
Help? | | | | E |

| | Posted: | | | | Any crew you put under "other" is local-only - it will never be included in a contribution. If you feel the credit is worthy of inclusion, you'll have to find out under which of the pre-defined crew entries it's supposed to go. "Adaptation" is a difficult one, though: there have been several debates about such credits recently, but I'm not entirely sure what, if any, the consensus is. |

| | Posted: | | | | Any crew member that is "Other" is local to you only, by definition.
You would have to enter it as one of the Writing credits, anything but Other.
Which is apropos to Adaptation by: Screenwriter, Original Material By, Writer, etc. i'm not sure. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, the Forum Search does not work particularly well.
You'll get better results using Google with "site:invelos.com" preceding your search terms. |
