Favorite people lists converted

Now that there is a system to create lists of people the old text based favorite lists have been converted into proper lists, these are the list names:

Favorite Actors & Actresses
Favorite Directors
Favorite Music Artists
Favorite Authors

The add to favorite links on a person page will now add to these lists

The text lists cannot be edited now

Unfortunately this conversion caused some errors to existing lists which I think have all been fixed.

Profiles will be updated to show the new lists.

Unfortunately some of the names cannot be matched exactly so they would be been ignored.

If the text lists can no longer be edited, why not simply delete them altogether? I'm a little sad I can't modify those text lists anymore...

Or...

Do the two go hand-in-hand? For example, if I add blahblahblah band to my favourites list, do they automatically pop up in the text list under the music category of my profile?

Please explain as I'm still a little confused about this. :/

Yes they will very soon at the moment it's just displaying the old text list from the edit profile page.

I added a Director from the section on my main movies page and they just get added to the Actors/Actresses page. How can this be changed?

I tried the same thing, Tartan, with the same result...

Also, since the update of the Favorites lists yesterday, I'm not able to change these lists to public. Is this just for these lists, or am I missing the link somewhere?

The director links should be ok now.

I removed the privacy settings for favorite lists since they don't work in the same way as regular list anyway.

Aha, found the problem.

Clicking on the names takes you to the "person" profile for the people, not the "director" page.

Fixed the director links now and favorite directors will show if a favorite list has been set up.
