Hi,

I've been using V2.x for years and was quite satisfied with it.

I also contributed to hundred of DVD especially for region 2 movies.

I just installed V3.0.2 and I am about to register.

So I backuped my database from old version to the new one, but when I click on "View Contributors", either the list is empty or very recent contributors are appearing (April/May 2007).

Because, when I look at the new contributors for most of the movies I own, some of them only changed a comma (when they changed something !) "just" to appear in the contributors list.

Does it mean that previous contributors from 2.x who spent hours and hours fo really fill the database for other users won't appear anymore ?

I'm not asking to have my name or other user's name in the hall of fame but give back to Caesar what is Caesar's !! In v2.x, when accepting/rejecting contributions from other users, I could just by seeing his nickname agree with his changes made in the database because I knew that he was an active and efficient contributor.

I red that Ken is about to integrate the movies that are not yet in V3.x database with the previous database. So, will the 2.x contributors reappear in V3.x ?

Can't he integrate contributors who made the database of 2.x so that we have a trusty contributors list ?

Thanks

Pierre

This was done to populate the V.3.0 Db. I don't care who contributed them, as long as they are in the Db. But that's just me 

Martin and dvdpro if it merans that much to you to have your name in lights you can split mine.
Who cares.

I care. I like to see and show others the work I've done. It's really a lot of work to create (almost) perfect profiles and cover scans and I like to be given some credit for it. And this has nothing to do about my name on top of the list, but just a reference to the ones who helped to create a profile and its images. In 3.0+ it now sometimes appears if these were done by only 1 or 2 users and that's simply not true. I hope the merge with the database of 2.4/5 will also bring back the users who helped to build it.

No, it doesn't.  It appears just like what happened:  the database was rebuilt from scratch, with everybody contributing profiles that they found needed to be entered.  Egos don't enter in it.

I also have to agree... as long as the work is getting done... I couldn't care less about my name being on with it... matter of fact I personally wouldn't care if Ken decided to do away with putting our names on the profiles we contribute to.

For me at least it is just about putting together a good profile and sharing it with the entire community.

That explains a LOT, martin

Just because you contributed it to 2.x and it is in 3.x doesn't necessarily mean that the one in the new database was the one you originally created.  Yes, I know there was a rush to populate the new database and if you feel wronged because someone contributed a profile you orginally worked hard on then I am sorry.  We were asked to do that by Ken to populate the database.  But there is nothing to say that the person didn't create some of those profiles from scratch for 3.x.  If you followed the rules and they followed the rules then technically you shouldn't be able to tell the difference in the profile (though yes I understand images are a different story).  Yes, I mass uploaded a large amount of profiles I did not oringally create.  I also know others uploaded profiles I created orignally.  I also redid a few from scratch.  The only thing I really care about is that they are uploaded for others to make use of them.

Again I am sorry if you feel wronged and if I don't sound sympethetic, I was in the military and it was normal to see other get credit for the work you did.  I just had to learn it wasn't who was given credit, but that the work was done and you knew you did your part.

Where are the coppers? Have'nt seen them arround for now. But I sympathise with your view, reviewing a dvd takes a lot of time.
