Greetings from a movie addict and a question

DSig · June 09, 2012, 12:35:13 AM

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself .. coming from dvdProfiler forum.

I am addicted to getting and watching movies and some tv series. I love to give some thoughts about what I watch and see what others are watching and their thoughts.

I hope i don't bore everyone with too much input. I do watch movies most days as I work (programmer as profession). I hope others give their thoughts about what i might review. Input is good

I didn't see a general question area so will ask here .. since i use dvdProfiler, can I use the 'review' that is generated there and posted on their site. Is the format the same?

Hope everyone has a great weekend

DSig

Welcome! I can't say anything about the formats as I don't post my thoughts at Profiler but addicted2dvd would be best to answer I imagine as he does both.

Don't worry for that as you'll see we like to review what we watch and we cover quite a large taste spectrum.

Welcome!

I wouldn't worry about the format of your reviews. There aren't any restrictions or anything.

DSig · June 09, 2012, 12:53:49 AM

Oh i am not worried about the format .. I just like it

Welcome!

The format some of us are currently using was last posted here.

DSig · June 09, 2012, 01:32:04 AM

Thanks for that Tom. But i don't see where you are getting the graphics .. or am i just missing that

NOTE: never mind .. if you have already read the above. I think i figured it out

Thanks again

I reworked the Profiler variant of the template to include awards.
If you want to include the awards similar to my reviews, you can do this now also in DVD Profiler HTML window. Provided you use the latest version of the awards plugin.

You only have to adjust the line
ViewerDB.Open("C:\\Users\\Tom\\Documents\\CCViewer3\\ViewerDatabase.mdb")
to point to your awards database.
