So its a Forum?

Any chance we can make comments about movies? And show those on the movie page?

So its a Forum?

Yes, but also a lot more now.

Any chance we can make comments about movies?

Already can. Pop over to a movie and click the "Talk" link. It takes you to a talk area for the movie. Like here, for the Avengers.

Ahh got it, very nice.

Would be good to see the comments inline at the bottom of the movie page at some point. I think a lot of people will miss the small "talk" link. Last.fm does something very similar with comments.

A few improvements I added this morning:

• You can set your timezone in your account preferences to get times in the discussion area displaying properly
• Added the category list to all pages for easier navigation
• Added pagination to the category pages
• Re-ordered categories so it's a bit more user friendly and forum like

One more:

• Discussion owners can now close their own discussions

I like this. Will collections get the talk link too eventually? Also, are all the old forum posts lost? I'd like to salvage the definitive collections thread because it was informative.

Will collections get the talk link too eventually?

Yes. Just pushed this live.

Nope, not lost. You can still find things if you got the link. I think the one you are after is right here.

FYI, just pushed a few more edits:

• Collections support the talk section now
• Added reply times to each comment
• Made a few small CSS changes

And another round:

• Added support for links to actually show as links in discussions
• Hover some basic info in the 'users in this discussion' list
• Actually linked the formatting help
• Moderators can now edit and delete discussions and comments

Nice updates.

1. Yesterday I think I had browser caching issues. I modified my posts but Chrome kept showing the original post. Only if I loaded the page in an incognito window would it show the modified post.

2. I am trying to copy and paste my collections thread to the new talk area but I get a content is suspected of being spam warning. I suspect because it is full of Wikipedia and *.themoviedb.org URLs.

Interesting. What I can hook up tomorrow morning is the ability for trusted users to skip the check entirely. I'll let you know once you can give it another try. Thanks for letting me know.

It finally went through at 8:53 PM EST :P

Not sure what I did different other than hyperlinking all the urls with the message formatting syntax.

Perfect! Let me know if that happens again.

Will there be a preview message option for Talk Area posts?

Also, just an idea for Movie and Collections pages: beneath the Similar Movies panel (or similar placement for Collections pages), place another panel consisting of the most recent General Talk Area posts for the particular movie/collection (Eg. The Avengers Collection displays the most recent posts from The Avengers Collection General Talk Area). This might instigate more talk area discussion, and if there are any specific collection guideline discussions, users who neglect to check the talk area first will be more likely to see them.

None planned but I created a new ticket for it.

It's been mentioned, ya. Probably will at some point. Here's the ticket.
