    It's weird that quite a few people have been having problems reviewing Babel.

    I'm having that same problem. My review won't save and comes up with an error message. I also have the same problem with my review for In Pursuit Of Happyness.

    I want to edit my Rating list, and pull some of them off. Is there a way to do that?

    Hey all,

    We've been reading this thread and trying to figure it out....

    We just found a bug that makes saving a review fail if it has certain foreign characters that our parsing code doesn't like... which explains maybe why babel was having particular problems given all the foreign names.

    We should have a fix in a day or two - maybe sooner.

    Not sure if this solves all the problems people have had but it should be a chunk of them. Thanks for all your help reporting this - i know how much some of you probably wanted to kill us if we lost a long-written review... sorry about that!

    tcchris & all - in many places on the site, including movie detail page, clicking the rating you entered a second time "unselects" it allowing you to remove a rating you don't want.

    I had some trouble saving my review for Spiders 2. I initially typed it into Word and then copied and pasted it into the review box and it wouldn't save it. I tried this several times, including restarting Internet Explorer. I then tried just typing in the review character for character and it saved fine. I'd recommend not copying and pasting the review.

    Hi, I was just wondering how to delete my old ratings. I don't want to change them, I just wan't to delete them all. I tried doing *clear rating* on all of them but they keep on coming back!

    Sometimes you may have to wait a couple of hours before your ratings will update.

    When recommendations appear in the wall-to-wall page the film blurbs do not show up.

    Keaven, you might want to PM Eugene about that one.

    Reviews may take a while to show up on your profile because it first must be written to the database, and then from there the database must update your profile. Try checking back in an hour.

    How come it doesn't show all my ratings and reviews? When i go to the last few pages they're blank when there should be more movie reviews there.

    I was having major issues from not being able to rate the movies to not being able to see the entire page or change skins, but I began using FIREFOX it works 100% BETTER. I would suggest to all who are having difficulties with your page.. to switch to FIREFOX and see how it works for you. Just A Suggestion.

    Is there a way to synchronise votes between Flixter and IMDB? I have voted for hundreds of films on my IMDB account that would take hours to revote for on Flixter. Thus it would be very convenient to be able to save and import my ratings from IMDB (and vice versa). Thanks

    Is it possible to have Flixster deliver an RSS feed of all the movies I've rated and/or reviewed, ordered by date?

    This is the link with the data that I'd like to use as an RSS feed on my blog or with other aggregators such as iStalkr. That would rock.
