( this has probably been discussed before) .. been noticing  that certain titles such as Dark Victory  or Strangers on a Train has the aspect ratio of 1.37:1  rather than 1.33:1  which I can agree on .. 

but the dilemma  I am facing is when I use 1.37  it still reads 1.33 full frame on my profiler page, if I add both 1.33 and 1.37  it now  has two aspect ratios as if it is a double type feature ..
when I use widescreen box it now reads 1.37  but not full frame., which I guess I can live with and can partially agree  on ..

but when  I see the contributed notes by others on these titles I see the title can be 1.37:1  and listed as full frame .. whereas I can not get this to read the same on my own profiler data..

?

In graphics mode the icon and text will show 1.33:1 but if you switch to text mode it will show 1.37:1. This is because as soon as you tick the Full Frame box it will assume it's 1.33:1. Bug or feature but it's been that way forever.

So 1:37:1 is Widescreen as wider than Full Screen :-). Then you wan't have the problem and it will show up correctly.

The rules describe full frame as "Films that were filmed at 1.33:1 or Academy Ratio and presented as such." (my bolding)

Academy Ratio is of course 1.37:1.

So doing it the way SwissFilm suggests does not comply with the contribution rules. It is as iPatsa says: a program limitation (bug or feature...).
