One I just experienced: The last uploaded shot got deleted (while i was viewing it), I refreshed the paged and was sent to FF. I pressed back (browser option), twice, so I got to the snap that was supposed to be before the deleted-last snap. Then, when I pressed 'next' (WTM option), I was informed that the snap was deleted and was sent back to FF. I did the whole process twice, while on the second try, I refreshed the page on the last new-submitted snap, and couldn't press the next button again..
Lately I have trouble uploading shots.It's just loading and loading...I have to start the whole process again and after a couple of times, if I'm lucky, I manage to upload. Anyone else have the same problem?
Yes, had the same problem yesterday Keyser_Soze. What I try to do then is opening the WTM starting page in another tab of my browser, while it is loading for uploading. Or I press the upload button very fast like 10 times in a row lol...I sometimes got the impression it helped, but maybe it was just coincidence. ^^
This is a bug that probably only affects Opera browser (mine is version 11.51), but it's quite annoying:
on a movie page, snapshots section: if a movie as lots of shots (for example 2001: A Space Odyssey http://whatthemovie.com/movie/2001_a_space_odyssey/snapshots ), when I click on a picture, a wrong/random? one (and not the one I chose) always appears on top of the page... It works well only for the first 20 pics, then it's a mess :(
If you can do something for it, I will appreciate it very much!
This shot is from the 30th Anniversary Version (aka the John Russo version), which adds a lot of new (crappy) scenes and removes a lot of (good) footage. Deletion votes removed.
Not sure if this should be called a mistake, but I think it's something that should be adressed.
I've just entountered a film, where when I guessed on the title of the film, without the accents over the e's, but with the right letters, it didn't accept it as a right answer. It's a short title, with two accented letters in the title, so it's off course because of that, the algorythm doesn't allow it a the right title, but in my opinion, it really should.
Just wondering if kinoute could design a check for this. Shout on my profile if you need more information (Which shot it was).
Well, we use the algorithm levenshtein distance (modified a little bit), see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance for infos and its kind of complicated to make some adjustments like this to the algorithm without recoding the whole thing. But like you said, i think there is a problem here because it's indeed a short title and the algorithm might be confused. So the best we can do here is add an alternative short title without any accent to the movie to prevent this kind of situation.
"Sex lies and videotapes" works (because there is an alternate title), of course "Sex, lies, and videotapes" works too( it is the exact title), but "Sex, lies and videotapes" doesn't match !
BTW only one shot of this movie in FF although tons of shots have been posted...
Sorry for the maintenance guys, naut & i were unable to find the reason of this mess in the first place and tliff was unreachable (still is), i tried this morning to fix the problem and suddenly it worked.
No, this feature would only lead people to upload random shots, see what happens and delete if they're not happy with the ratings. This is not what NS is for.
No, Studio Bosses shouldn't upload dupes (or shots with black bars, ...) in the first place. ;) Just contact mods when such a should-be-deleted-shot isn't deleted fast enough.
the problem is 99% are dupes of shots, which are running in the FF. A Studio Boss have like a cable Monkey no chance to prevent uploading dupes. And if you need a mod, there is no one online :P
Something I've just noticed (even though I think there aren't many characters with lots of lovers and ofc it's not a major feature on the site): When you get to a character page, there is no "see all" link or something like that on the lovers session, so if it has more than 6 lovers, it's impossible to visualize them. http://whatthemovie.com/movie/fight_club/character/934 I also tried reloading the page, and the avatars remain the same (positions differ, though).
I don't know if someone has already notice it, but, on a shot's page : - when you enter a good title : green light, and you have, on the bottom of the shot, the title of the movie + the year of release. - when you ask for the title with the "show solution" button (in Archive, or in FF with a previously solved shot) : you have the title of the movie but NO year of release.
Would that be possible to add the year in every cases, like in the first example ? It's not very important, but I know few players (included myself :p) enjoying to guess the year of a movie, without being forced to go to the movie page. Thanks !
Some errors popped up today. First when trying to upload a shot it told me that I already uploaded two shots from that movie. Actually I even uploaded five already, but it seemed as if I was no WTM supporter anymore. (the current subscription should last more than one month still). Second, after succesfully having uploaded another shot just now, I got an error saying that I had already two shots in the queue and should wait for an open slot.
Nothing that is not really working, just some errormessages which should not have appeared.
Hi mods and coder(s) I know you are aware of that, but since scruffy died (or at least since he is in very bad shape), the timed out shot seem to be manually deleted and thus don't appear in the list of the rejected shots. I find that quite annoying to keep track of the already posted shots. For the same reason the mail notification of accepted/timed out shots are not sent anymore and I miss it.
And of course the supporter stats missing since january 22 :)
I know you have hard times in maintaining the site and appreciate all your work for WTM.
@Sahi: i think this is because Scruffy has some difficulties to handle the shots in NS the past few days @efji: the supporter stats seem to be the main reason of all those "over capacity" errors lately so they wont be updated for a while, we might have to rewrite this feature from scratch
