For some reason the original IMDB page for the Studio Ghibli sequel to "Porco Rosso" was deleted, and a new one created rather than the original being updated, even they are exactly the same production - so the page we have on FWFR for "Porco Rosso: The Last Sortie" is now out of date. The new film page "Porco Rosso 2" has just been added to our database.
Can the five reviews from me, Randall, Salopian, LadyMeerkat and AC here:
http://www.fwfr.com/film/?FID=42435#.UUo_TReeOSo
now be transferred over to here:
http://www.fwfr.com/film/?FID=59597#.UUpAExeeOSo
TIA! |

One of the Him films here needs to be deleted and its reviews moved to the Her film. |

Not sure how this one came about, but I spotted a duplicate film entry in our database:

Ah yes, I hadn't read your post carefully -- your use of the word lost confused me!

I've relatively recently seen reviews of this category (for the Srinivasa Ramanujan film, which I noticed quite a while ago had gone but didn't want to lose the reviews for  ), so it may be an old site (which I still use) v. new site thing, i.e. they may just not be displayed in your new-site list -- check your old one and see. It would still be better to show them on the new site but hopefully they may not be lost. |

Ditto! Of course, one down side is movies that have been abandoned for good means some of us are losing well voted reviews... but that's the way it's got to go when those films don't exist any more, of course.

One issue you may be facing when searching for films Baffy is something I've noticed in my searches - the search box is really not very useful sometimes, as much as I love being able to search reviews and artists. You'll have noticed it often only finds the film you are typing in when you have finished typing the word, and not start delivering the closest matches from the initial couple of letters, for example "Memento" only appears once you've finished typing the whole word, and if you hit return and start searching before that - at "Mem" or "Meme" it won't recognise anything in the database that will fit. In the same example it's impossible to bring up a film like "M" in the search box. This is an oddity when considering plurals or compound words as well - searching for "bird" for example will only bring up the films that contain that word, but not "birds" or "birdy" or "birdemic".
Finally, and possibly relevant to your failed searches - typing in something like "The Matrix" won't provide you a result, but "Matrix" will because in another quirk it doesn't recognise "The Matrix" only "Matrix, The" (the correct format for the database as it doesn't automatically discount "The" in alphabetical listings as it should). |

The reason I search on the old site is usually because I want to post up a review [for TA:MOU] - and the new site doesn't recognise my unique user i.d. except to display my list page.
There are certainly some related glitches here. I suspect a fix would involve a lot of benj's time, but I HOPE he might get to this someday ... He's still my hero! 
I go from the list Benj has already made to show me the films with no cast. So I already I go from there. Then when I get to the FWFR review site I then click on the IMDB link and if it it says it is not found, I then search IMDB for the movie in other ways. So you see, I am not searching for missing FWFR reviewed movies.
When I click on the IMDB link and i discover that it now has a cast, I enter the IMDB into the add movie link and that is how the movie is updated. |

Sorry. That was me. I was going to bring that to Benj's attention in the No Cast thread. I am still working through the P's yet. There is also another film in the thread with the same problem.
