I apologise for the downtime today. I have converted the previously seperate /person /artist /author and /director pages into one combined profile for example www.listal.com/joss-whedon will now show credits all topic areas.

I am still testing everything is ok since it was quite a complicated procedure to merge all the profiles togther, I will update will more details later on.

If you see any problem please post a comment.

The percentage thing seems to be gone for certain people. For example it does not appear here: www.listal.com/satyajit-ray though it does here: www.listal.com/aleksandr-dovzhenko
It seems the icon for certain things is also off. For example while it appears in his profile Roberto Rossellini's image does not appear on lists. Also Hiroshi Shimizu as director seems to have gone entirely.

Fixed both those issues, not sure what you mean about Hiroshi Shimizu though.

Man my movies page is showing my fav directors as Favorite Actors & Actresses :)
Felipe Unger 13 years, 11 months ago at May 13 20:52 -
And in the main profile page Favorite Directors and Favorite Music Artists are blank. I just see ", , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,"

What I meant by Shimizu is that all of his information like name and age appears on the side bar, but the movies list is for an other person. www.listal.com/hiroshi-shimizu

Oooh, very nice. Here begins the fun task of getting rid of duplicate images and the suchlike. Does this mean that separating people with the same name is near the top of the list of things to do next? :)

Which page has the age listed?

I meant the images and rating. Apologizes on that. His films are here:www.listal.com/hiroshi-shimizu_i
The images from the other page pops up when I click to add an image and clicking on his name from there goes back to the wrong fellow.

Ok, first error I've encountered: Person list searches don't work.

Think I've fixed it now
Director: www.listal.com/hiroshi-shimizu
Actor: www.listal.com/hiroshi-shimizu_iv

Separating should be done now for actors/directors sharing the same name e.g.

www.listal.com/john-hughes was originally credited with appearing in fifth element will now separated to a different person here: www.listal.com/john-hughes_vi

Thank you greatly (though that bloody stat thing still seems to be problematic).

Really nice the combined pages.

Not all the person pages are differentiated. For instance, this musician has been merged with a porn star: www.listal.com/peaches
Coby 13 years, 11 months ago at May 20 13:34 -
Same thing here, David Garret, a german musician has been merged with an american writer/actor who got the same name.
One more issue, I don't think that the music section from Alfred Hitchcock's profile has anything to do with him.

Unfortunately it wasn't possible to automatically distinguish between authors or artists with the same name as actors or directors. So some manual work has to be done, I am writing the tools to do this right now, for less complicated shared profiles it will be as simple as changing the name of the artist on their albums but some content may also need to be moved between the profiles.

A small bug:
The main name of www.listal.com/john-hughes_vi is "John Hughes". But in My Stats it says

"You have watched 50%/1 of John Hughes_VI's 2 movies"

It should be changed to only "John Hughes" as well. The bug could also appear if there are other sections on the page, like John Hughes videos and so on.

www.listal.com/travis_ii

For some reason, the band Travis don't have their music listed on their page, but their albums still link to that profile. Also, the person page URL lists them as Travis ii, but there is no first entry for this to be secondary to.

www.listal.com/david-mitchell_vi

Two different people have been combined here. One is A British actor/comedian, and the other is a British novelist.

Which parts of the profile belong to the novelist?
spiegel 13 years, 11 months ago at Jun 7 20:52 -
Strange, seems like no novels appear on the profile page, but all his novels link back to the actor's page. I have him favourited as well, and 'View list' takes me to my favourite authors list.

These are the two separate David Mitchells:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mitchell_%28author%29
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mitchell_%28actor%29

Hmm, I think the profiles looks rather messy now. Particularly if they have done "a lot".

Tom, I created a profile for a band The Reign Of Kindo, then a friend added it, and we noticed it is listed as actor: www.listal.com/list/favorite-actors-actresses-thearodrigues

On the page for The Cars That Ate Paris (below) it seems to be connecting to IMDB wrongly as the date doesn't come up and neither does the year.

Jim Davis, creator of Garfield is credited with all of Jim Davis' (actor who played Jock on Dallas) movie and TV credits. Also I don't remember legendary singer James Brown ever appearing on Dallas as Det. Harry McSween so there must be a mistake there too.
Felipe Unger 13 years, 9 months ago at Aug 1 9:04 -
The Reign Of Kindo still listed as actor, they are a band. Wish I would know how to fix it by myself

The singer India is combined with some "actress" named India.

These following two are listed under actor when they are music artists.
