| | Posted: | | | | I thought something was odd when I noticed #351 was missing from my online collection (close to the top of 367 DVDs) so I went through the whole collection and noticed #24, 34, 47, 49, 50, 59, 64, 74, 86, 109, 116, 119, 145, 150, 219, 231, 321, as well as 351 are missing from my online collection.
How can I remedy this? I'd like my online collection to coincide with my DVD Profiler database.
Thanks, -kd5- | | | | Time is the fire in which we burn. (Soran) |

| | Posted: | | | | To answer this question before anyone asks, I've attempted to upload my collection a couple of times hoping it might overwrite the existing collection but it's still missing those DVDs. -kd5- | | | | Time is the fire in which we burn. (Soran) |

| | Posted: | | | | Seems to be a problem within your collection settings Click here and make sure the settings look like this:  | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | Silence has it right, I'm sure, because I can see those titles in your online listing (and I don't think it's a coincidence that all the ones I looked at were the Unrated Editions | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: | | | | Thank you, that fixed it, but I don't understand why. I have no adult DVDs in my collection (unless Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe is considered Adult  ) Thanks again, -kd5- | | | | Time is the fire in which we burn. (Soran) |

| | Posted: | | | | So, you think it had something to do with the fact that these were Unrated Editions? What about Chronicles Of Narnia? I realize it's an Extended Edition DVD, but I don't believe it's Unrated (Disney). Edit: Apparently, DVD Profiler thinks Chronicles Of Narnia, at least the Extended Edition, is Unrated. That's still odd though...  Thanks again for fixing it for me, I appreciate that...  -kd5- | | | | Time is the fire in which we burn. (Soran) | | | | Last edited: by kd5 |

| | Posted: | | | | It is extended version... which means it is not the rated version but the unrated version. Really has little to do with content. From the rules explaining it.. Quote:
* For localities which offer it as a choice, enter "Unrated" for DVDs which:
o Contain an alternate version of a film which received a theatrical rating, and which have no rating or are marked "NR" or "Not Rated"
o OR include "Unrated" on the front or back cover of the case
* Use "NR" for DVDs which do not qualify for the "Unrated" rating, and which have no rating or are marked "NR" or "Not Rated"
* Use the “Adult” rating for all Adult films.
For DVDs with more than one rating shown (e.g. a DVD which includes an R and Unrated version), use the highest applicable rating with the following scale:
* NR < Board Rating < Unrated < Adult. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Thank you for that. My concern wasn't necessarily for the way in which films are rated or the way in which DVD Profiler reports those ratings, but more for the way in which DVD Profiler seems to place Unrated movies in the 'Adult' category as far as the online list is concerned. Now that I am aware of it, I've just checked everything in Options and my list is fine now. I only wondered why DVD Profiler placed Unrated versions of films in the 'Adult' category for the online list, that's all...  -kd5- | | | | Time is the fire in which we burn.

| | Posted: | | | | basically it is because both the ratings are set with an age limit. And Ken chose to put both Unrated and Adult to age 18... when he already had that age to not show online because of porn. I think the only way he could fix this is to change the age limit for one or the other... either set Adult to higher then 18 or set Unrated to something like 17.
But as you said... just checking the box works for now. Except for people that want to hide the porn titles but not the Unrated titles. Of course there is a work around for that too... they can always set their porn titles to not show in the online version through the program itself. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Thank you both for your replies, you've answered my question quite nicely, I understand there are extenuating circumstances involved now, I'm glad that a quick settings tweak resolved my issue...  -kd5- | | | | Time is the fire in which we burn. (Soran) |
