As a lot of you already know, when we relaunched the site we changed the format of the Favorite Movies feature. The new format allows us to display posters on user profiles and do a whole bunch of cool things that I'm working on behind the scenes right now.
To this point, I've been counting on users to go to the Edit Favorite Movies page to convert to the new system. Look how pretty! It makes suggestions as you type, you can drag them around to change the order, and you can remove them easily (and there's even an Undo button in case you remove one by accident).
The first time you do this the new system tries to find a match for your titles and does its best to guess which film you meant--and it's usually right. But not always, so you may have to remove and re-add one if it guesses wrong, especially if one of your favorites has the same title as a remake (or is a remake). Having you guys specifically do this is best, because only you knew exactly which ones you want.
Now, two months have passed since the relaunch, and obviously some people have yet to switch over. Since a lot of the new stuff I'm working on ties into this system, I'm giving everyone a heads-up that I'm going to convert all of the old favorites over automatically within a week.
Everyone has had plenty of time to confirm their favorites, and if it guesses wrong for anyone else and they care at all, it'll be quite easy for them to fix it. But all the same, I'd like to minimize the number of times this happens, so I wanted to give everyone a heads-up. Especially the more indecisive MoFos who like to cram multiple favorites (or whole sentences) into single slots.
If you haven't yet, please go to the Edit Favorite Movies page, review the guesses, tailor them as necessary, and then hit Save Favorites--and then you're done.
I'll be sure to post in here again the day-of to give everyone one last chance. Thank you!
