I have had two updates today that 1. I don't remember voting on and 2. When I check the contribution notes a hell of a lot more was changed than what was in the notes.

Example 1 :

Dead and Buried: Limited Edition [827058-200394]
Contribution notes say: Added CoO
Update I downloaded: Adds CoO as well as changes the overview which has taken away all the '  ' for bold that should be there.

Example 2: Happy Tree Friends: Overkill [634911-193320]
Contribution Notes say: Added COO
Update I downloaded: Changes SRP/Overview/Disc Info


I have been doing updates on a regular basis since everything get pushed through so fast. But this is really annoying.

It sounds like your local profile is not the same as the online profile.

You should contribute the corrections if the online profile is incorrect.

I had the same as MrTorso for at least two profiles. dead & Buried being one of them for me too.


It feels especially bad noticing this, if the update is, well, bad data.

A problem that I often have, is that for some reason or another my own profile is no longer in sync with what is in the master database, even though a Refresh All Profiles does not detect the difference and thus does not download it.
The only way to get the profile updated is to do a Refresh Profile for that single DVD. That's what I now do whenever I want to change something to a profile: first do a refresh for that profile to make sure it's up-to-date, and then do the changes and submit.
I also wonder why I'm missing those updates. I assume it has to do with the move from 2.4 to 3.0.

I'm also still getting a lot of profile updates that were never listed in the 'Database' section to review/vote on.

remember you only get to vote on profiles that are present in your uploaded online collection.
Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions.

Could it be that the original contribution in the 3.x database was not right in the first places and 1 change from a person would end-up to many for another ?

I upload and sync my collection often, especially when adding or deleting titles. It's even very old titles that I've owned for years which this problem is affecting.

I agree... I do the same... upload to it all the time... and I have seen some that I never got the chance to vote on... and before you say it... yes I check the submissions several times a day to vote.

I remember this same problem at Intervocative as well. I don't know what could possibly cause it... but seems to be some sort of bug in the system.

I have defiantly seen this happen too, seems to effect a small percentage of titles, hard to pin down the common cause, I'll try and eye on it and see if I can locate a common factor.

That could be.
