How To New Feature - Creating Movie Threads (1 Viewer)

[Malcolm R]

Every page link clicked immediately takes you to the bottom - not the top.

I like the poster icons, but I agree being taken to the bottom of the page every time is annoying. @Dave Upton ... Dave...any idea why this is happening? Seems to only be in the Movies forum.

Is there a way to force the poster to change, or remove it after adding?

I added the TMDB link for the new SpiderMan movie. Instead of pulling the interim art showed at TMDB, it pulled some garbage image from who knows where.

The image it pulled is one of the old posters for the theatrical release of Spider-Man: Homecoming. Which is at least from the same iteration of the franchise.

Ah. I couldn’t tell...it looked like it said “Bingo” with an amateur collage.

I don’t understand why it’s not using the artwork in the movie-listing page?

I don’t think so.

I think it’s a fan made collage.

 

[Jake Lipson]

I haven't seen the "Bingo" one you guys are talking about. I was referring only to the picture that appears next to the
thread title. To me, it looks like a shrunken version of this poster from Homecoming, which is definitely not fan-made but looks like a particularly bad Photoshop nightmare.

Dave?

 

[Jake Lipson]

I stand corrected. I wasn't looking at it closely enough or in a large enough size to distinguish it from the real poster at first glance, but seeing it close up, you guys are totally right. I apologize for my error.

I would assume that, logically, whenever the site updates it with a real poster, the thread would in turn be updated too, but I don't know how this works either, so Dave will have to answer definitively.

 

[Dave Upton]

It's all automated via API calls to TMDB, so I don't know why it did that. I will investigate.

 

[Dave Upton]

Looks like it was a default on TMDB, but thankfully there is a way to check for new posters if you have permissions. For now, that is just moderators and myself.

Was just coming here to complain about the thread always taking you to the bottom of the page, and see it has been brought up by others. Yes, it's a bit annoying.

Jeff - can you explain what you mean?

When you go into the Movies section, it automatically goes right to the bottom and you have to scroll back up to the top.

 

[TonyD]

It doesn’t do that to me.

Which browser are you using? I'm afraid I don't experience that issue either

 

[Jeff Cooper]

I'm using Google Chrome (whatever the latest version is).

It does the same for me in both Chrome and Firefox.

Thanks. Are you using any ad blockers or script blockers like Ghostery? If so, please try with those disabled or an incognito tab (Ctrl + Shift + N). It may also be worth clearing your cache. I'm using the latest chrome and I don't get this behavior.
