Will there be Trivia and Goofs sections available on the movie forums? That's one of the things that I head to when scoping out a movie.

I second that. And if possible, the Trivia section devided into a normal and 'spoiler' section.

So far we have really tried to avoid spoilers. If you add keywords for a movie here, for example, you are not supposed to add any information spoiling the movie, while on IMDb every imaginable and unimaginable piece of information is added as a keyword. That said, I'm sure the admin will consider it.

The best part of looking up the old movies that everyone has seen 10 million times is the trivia and goofs that people have spotted. If people don't want to see the spoilers then don't open the page - problem solved. I personally love to see where people have found the shooting locations on Google Maps or in person, and little tidbits from behind the scenes.

I think additional section's would be good as well Triva, Goofs, FAQS etc..

I'd also welcome a Trivia section in the future.
Right now I would suggest posting your Trivia and other additional info in the discussion section. I did this already on a couple of films where I wanted to share some background info. Just put a "Trivia:" or "Goof:" in the title.

That is an excellent suggestion.

I think it'd be really great to have this feature here on TMDb. It could also be used to randomly populate a part of the front page (Did you know that...).

Yes, I have plans for trivia. I have created a new ticket for this feature here.

Travis these links to your tickets takes me to a Lighthouse login page. Are we supposed to login using our TMDb credentials or create a new account?

Most people aren't going to need to login to Lighthouse but if you wanted todo that yes, you would have to sign up with Lighthouse. You can think of Lighthouse as my primary place to keep track of things but not something you are going to use. It simply provides a person who's interested a view into what's planned and being tracked.

It showed I could login using a google account but when I clicked your link and the Google button I got this;
You don't have a lighthouse profile for this Google account. You'll need to be invited to a project by an existing admin.
