I have added 4 genres to a movie in my local DVD Profiler 3.8.1.

When contributing the corrections to the online database, only the 3 first of them shows up. This will probably cause negative votes from other members.

I have experimented with 5 genres. Same problem.

Is this a bug in the program?

No, this is not a bug. Only the first three genres are contributable by design.

From the Contribution Rules: (bold by me)
Quote:
Genre
Genres are often a matter of personal interpretation, which can differ among users. If your personal preference for Genre differs from the main database, you can store the information you prefer in your local database and lock the Genre field from further updates. Do not make contributions that only change or re-order Genres, unless the existing Genre list is blatantly incorrect.

Custom genres are for local use only and will not be included in the contributed profile. Additionally, although up to five genres may be assigned in your local database, only the top three non-custom genres will be contributed.

Some movies are a real mix of genres you know...

But three is enough for the database purposes IMO. Personally, I have 4-5 on some titles locally.
