Tell me more about this. Should this be placed in the feature request forum?

I think 2 days is a good compromise between getting new contribution released fast but giving time for others to vote on it.

I think it's too short a notice, especially as there is no PM notification of new profiles to be voted.

With my collection count I do not need PM notification, because I know, that there is something to vote on every day

Yeah, but maybe you prefer an hourly announcement

OT: Thank heavens for this thread... EnryWiki's avatar reminded me that I haven't watched "Fawlty Towers" for several months. I will correct this starting.... NOW.

Actually it's annoying enough if there is a pre-release profile (having to compare 3 or 4 people's updates and check which is best so as not to get it overwritten... why people don't check to see if 3 others have put in the same update before they do I'm not sure  ) but it's even worse if there isn't because the system recognises all the new contributions as 'new' and people can't pre-compare them.

I don't understand this either - the need for 3 or more people to contribute portions of the same title at one time - rather than waiting for one to be accepted and THEN contribute changes.  It makes voting tough, too.  Contribution A has the disc info and CoO and Studios, Contribution B the Cast & Crew, Contribution C the audio/video data.  Do you vote for one or all (or none) of them?

Why can't people either upload a fully audited profule or wait until the earlier one(s) is accepted before uploading additional data?

That would be great! A PM informing that a DVD we own is up for voting.

I'm with Tom on this one, it's usefulness depends on how many you own, I would certainly not want a PM each time something was submitted, so this would need to be optional.

It still wouldn't help with multiple submissions of new titles though.

You lucky man!
But then, even you need to check at least every two days, if you don't want to lose a single ballot 

A PM notification system (or a longer notice) would be helpful to those who don't check every day, and would do no harm to frequent checkers.

True.

Yep, that goes without saying.

Right. For that, maybe subsequent submissions should be blocked until the first is voted.
