upgrade switched movies
Sun Mar 01, 2009 5:41 am
the 2.32 upgrade has switched 3 of my movies to different titles(none of which are owned) while keeping the the original notes on location. I was able to spot and fix 2 of them. The third was the animated movie Spawn 2 and has been changed to The Babe Ruth Story(1948) but still has the Spawn 2 picture........the movie Spawn 2 is no longer in the Data Base so I can't fix it myself. The other movies that did the same thing, but I switched on my own were; Devil's Brother was changed to Tammy and the Bachelor; Ten Fingers of Death was changed to Salome the Dance of the Seven Veils.

Ouch... I knew this would happen, but I had my fingers crossed that few people would be impacted 
What's happening is that, when we've linked all our movies to the IMDb, we've realized that some of them were duplicates, mostly due to a same movie having differents AKA (Also Known As) titles. When it happened, we've kept the one of the two with the most information, while the other one was replaced by a new movie.
It's very troublesome when the users data is messed up, even slightly. Believe me, we take your data very seriously. But it had to be done. It was a most welcome cleanup of our database.
And the good news is it won't happen again.
If anyone realizes that there's a movie in his coollection that has been replaced by another movie, please tell us what it's been changed into, and we'll be able to tell you what it was in the first place.
For instance, "Spawn 2" was blended into the animated series "Spawn (1997-1999)".

I admit there's something wrong with the IMDb, which has a page for "Spawn 3" and not for "Spawn 2", but we had to do with it, the IMDb is supposed to be the reference.

The picture is still on your hard drive. You'll have to press the "F5" key to refresh the picture.
