For the past few days, I've been unable to add movies or celebrities, or to vote upon other members' reviews. As a senior reviewer with nearly 3000 credits, this is rather absurd.

Have now discovered the line of 'short cuts' for adding pages which lies at the top of my profile. The old drop-down menus still missing, however, and I can see no way to vote.

Okay, this gets weirder. The drop-down menu for adding new titles or celebs remains absent, although there's a convoluted workaround available via my profile page. Meanwhile, I still can't give other reviews a thumbs-up or -down, although at least one other reviewer can: several of the reviews I posted last night have received thumbs-up. Gratifying as that is, the fact that I can't pass judgement in a similar fashion is somewhat irritating.

And now it's not allowing me to vote for 'Babe of the Week'.

Am I being punished in some way for being too busy a contributor?

Okay, it's now a week since I raised this problem. Should I take it that no one actually checks this forum?

Ghost,

I'm almost always here. What is your browser that you are using? I know the old version of IE has an issue with the drop down menu, but that is why there is the tiny sub-menu instead.

Have you tried a different browser? It sounds like your browser is not setting cookies.

However, I looked into your account and you've been able to add & do everything. Am I missing something? Let me know if there are still troubles and we can debug further.

Thanks. I am using IE, but it's the same version & same laptop I've been using without any problems for the past three years.

I'll try accessing via a different computer to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for all your help, Steve.

Steve, thanks so much: tried Google Chrome and all is back to normal.

Ummmm...Steve? I have always used Google Chrome and today it is not letting ME add a movie (King Of Sorrow). Please help. I get an error message that shuts down the entire site for me.

Yep, same thing here. I'm getting a server error 500 when I try to add a movie or celebrity (after entering a term for the search)...IE, Chrome, and Firefox, and have been since last night. This is after, last week, having problems finding titles that already existed, even with the Add Title search.

Same here. It's been that way since Friday, but I'm guessing the CNDb offices are closed over the weekend.

I sent a private message yesterday, so they should be alert to it now.

Sorry, all is fixed now. Unfortunately we were in the process of doing upgrades (hardware) -- so it definitely took a while to get things done.

thornhillsouthguy · **Posted:** Wed Oct 24, 2012 10:19 am

Nope. Although I added the movie, adding the actress lara Daans, who is even listed in the CNDB database, "turned up no results".

CNDB_Steve · **Posted:** Wed Oct 24, 2012 10:28 am

That part, however -- is disabled.

It is being transfered to a non-full text search as the hardware we transfered to does not allow the "old search format"

So how do I add an actress or a movie now? Or do I have to wait?
