    Sorry for the maintenance, it was a server issue and only tliff was able to correct it (in fact i fixed it myself by chance ahah). Anyway i just added my last changes with this quick needed update :

    - pagination for bookmarks shots (not movies for now)
    - fixed links on bookmarks movies shots
    - fixed some cache issues
    - fixed some memorabilias text and issues
    - new memorabilia called "fast fingers", you will need 100 first solves to have it
    - added indian movies & hindi to alternative titles
    - fixed locked movies sorted alphabetically

    Hello everyone, some fixes and changes this week :

    - fixed rank 5 not showing on profiles
    - added shouting ban (be careful!)
    - added vault_admin for mods
    - you can now replace title shot, character shot, or vault shots when the contest is ended
    - you can now assign vault shots, character shots, as title shots or character shots
    - fixed old wtm supporters don't have the sandbag memorabilia anymore
    - fixed uploading a empty file problem (it was possible to upload without selecting a file before)
    - you can't from now delete vote deletion on your OWN shots (see the Enter Black Swan case, too much abuse). You have to enter a short reason every time from now too. (too many vote deletion without a reason, we didn't know why some users voted...)
    - fixed a lot of urls for french movies with accent
    - added some page for googlebot to handle page which don't exist anymore
    - removed show solution button for title and character shot (useless)
    - added a tons of trailers, abstracts, and Genre manually (please make the same, that takes two minutes when you add a movie!)

    - fixed vote deletion problem on firefox and removed the "vote" button. Now just write a short reason and press Enter to vote (you must write a short reason to make a vote deletion)

    @johannap not planned for the moment, its a unique memorabilia so i think if too many people have it, we will increase the number of first solved needed to have it, like 200, or 500.

    First of all great job with all the updates and fixes, I am new to the site but it has quickly consumed my life, and my brothers also, which brings me to my question.
    My brother (Kalipto) and I log in from the same IP address will this be a problem? Not sure if there is a way to prove this :)

    Happens when you have solved the last snapshot, have enabled "show unsolved snapshots only" and visiting the snapshot before the last one.

    I thought that the numbers in titles were not relevant. For example you could type "die hard" instead of "die hard 2". You could even type "thx" instead of "thx 1138" or "naked gun" instead of "naked gun 33 1/3" and it was ok.

    But there is a shot in the NS http://whatthemovie.com/shot/156033 whose title is "something 2" (no spoilers) and "something" does not pass.

    Same with comas "," which have sometimes to be put in the title.

    Did you change something about that ?
    • CommentAuthorkinoute
    • CommentTimeMay 9th 2011 edited

    No, we haven't change this. We still use the Levensthtein Distance ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance ) to calculate if a guess is correct or not. For example, "Die hard with a vengeance" has an alternative title "Die Hard 3" so that's why it's working. Same thing for "Thx 1138", there is a german alternative title which is "thx". In this case (for your movie) there is no alternative title "something", Levenshtein must decline your guess "something" because of that. I think it's very very close for this case
    • CommentAuthorkinoute
    • CommentTimeMay 9th 2011
     permalink
    I must add :

    Die hard 2 has also a "die hard" alternative title. And Levensthein works like this : if the title is very long, you can make more errors, it will be ok. I mean if you misspelled "Un long dimanche de fiancailles" for example, your guess will be still correct because the title has a lot of letters. But when the title is very short, Levenshtein does not allow a lot of errors, even zero i should say. That's the case for your movie i think.

    That is not entirely true :P If you are a supporter, you can go to your supporter stats and in the second graph, go with your cursor all the way to the righ and in the textbox to the right there will be your amount of first solves, together with your archive and FF solves.

    I hate to ask more from you when you are doing so much, but I noticed that there are users (honour to them!) who started to add movies from "new" and different countries not available in the WTM language/flag option list, like:

    - thai - Thailand
    - serbian - Yugoslavia/Serbia
    - BTW, thanks for adding "czech"! [edited]

    I really appreciate if you can add them :)

    Thanks a lot!

    @rulo: in fact the initial idea was to restrict it to uploader's IP but i believe that would be overkill for the server. i'm sure that not everybody votes their own snapshot with 10. i didn't do it at the beginning, but after i noticed how my snapshots ratings 'strangely' fluctuated in a couple of hours before the first 24hrs limit.

    @kinoute: a little bug report - for http://whatthemovie.com/shot/161661, on both uploader and first solver's profile pages you can see that the URL begins with 'forum.'. Also you can see the 'Login' link although I'm logged in. i don't know which is the replication scenario but here is the screenshot:

    This is a bug we are aware of, but it's a really weird one: it just happens on some shots, but after a day or so it has disappeared again, but later it appears in totally new shots.

    Just a little idea :
    I'm not sure why people keep deleting their rejected snaps, it doesn't matter, but if people favorited it, it's kinda sad to see it disappear. Could there be a reminder to people who are about to delete a shot which has been favorited by someone? So that they actually have to confirm before deleting it?

    Good job and this can wait, ages

    the question has been posed many times. tliff didn't believe it, arguing he was using a real random number generator. I don't know what to think. Like everybody I experienced "random" shots showing up again and again.

    @crosbow @efji

    a change at the random button is maybe not necessary.

    it will be better to add a new button (bottom the snapshot there is on the right side of favourit/bookmark/deletion/show solution a empty space) called maybe "don't show again at random" (maybe red cross signed). So you have never the problem to see a shot again you surely never can solve.
