Actor / director related problem

Even though I've catalogued 20 items with Jack Nicholson, the "my actors" feature only shows 17 of them, with Easy Rider, The Border and The Pledge missing. When I checked "all items" by Jack Nicholson it shows 50 results, but still Easy Rider and The Pledge are missing.

Same thing with In Name Only. Doesn't appear in the "my actors" for Cary Grant

Similarly, the movie Piao liang ma ma (2000) doesn't appear on the page of director Zhou Sun or actress Li Gong. Link:
www.listal.com/movie/piao-liang-ma-ma

So is this happening all over the place?

Tom's working out the finals for the next site update. More thoroughly editable Movies and other item pages will be included. (Or so I hear.)

yeah, most of us ol'timers on here are drooling over the keyboards, waiting for this new site update...

some things that are coming (rumored to be coming):

- full editable cast list (the way it does it now, only the top cast from IMDB is imported into listal, but if a movie is shown in alphabetical cast, it may leave out Jack Nicholson from Easy Rider - the update is supposed to fix this properly)

- cross-referenced items (all different DVD versions, etc, on same item page)

- customizable web links?

- wood grain and other custom background

- total redesigned custom lists

- proper handling of actors with same names

so patience, Dale. Changes are coming, and the points you brought up have been brought up several times in past, and from my understanding, it will be fixed shortly.

Thanks for the answer. You're right, by the way: no Nicholson in the cast for Easy Rider or The Pledge. Gotta wonder about the rest though...

There are actually three seperate issues here :

Easy Rider, The Pledge - Actor does not appear on the first page of imdb as mentioned above (I want to fix this in the future)

"Same thing with In Name Only. Doesn't appear in the "my actors" for Cary Grant"

The my actors section only covers movies that you have watched (it would be good to have links to include the wanted to see items in the future)

Similarly, the movie Piao liang ma ma (2000) doesn't appear on the page of director Zhou Sun or actress Li Gong. Link:
www.listal.com/movie/piao-liang-ma-ma

This problem was related to recently added items with had previously 0 watched and wanted to watch, this has been fixed.


As far as the update there is not going to be anywhere near that amount of changes! Although those are things I want to do in the future, the next update is mainly focused on improving the custom lists interface and a later update redoing the item pages.
