Kathy tells me she can only see 186 titles through friends. I should have about 1800 visible.

Through friends? Do you mean the new interface under Add DVD?

All right, figured out my problem and since there's only one other post I saw that mentioned the workaround, I figured I'd post to mention here's how to get your full collection from custom categories to post.  Not only do you need to check "Include contents in owned category" - you also need to make sure Globally unique is checked.  If you do unique within category, you will need to renumber every category (not just Owned!) to get it to appear correctly on DVD Profiler online.  You do this by going to Collection -> Reassign Collection Numbers and then check Reassign all collection numbers and every category checkbox.

Cheers!  Short of displaying the custom categories online, this is definitely a great feature that I was looking forward to.

Thanks for posting this!

I didn't realize that if you didn't have the custom category collections checked off when reassigning collection numbers, it wouldn't renumber them properly.

I couldn't figure out why The African Queen stayed with a # of 44 even when I added titles that came before it... It would simply keep the number of 44 and push all the other titles below it (so Aeon Flux would become #45 from #43, skipping over #44 which is assigned to The African Queen, which would stay at #44).

I'll have to try and remember to check of that box each time I reassign collection numbers.
The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play.
