done. Hellyeah, they should just leave old ddd alive just in case we need to do shit like this. I kinda like having two ddd's, one main and one backup

Also yeah Lumet needs one and Tati as well. Let's get those motherfuckin auteurs up in here.

Fuck, it won't work for me either. I wonder if there are like hidden accents in the letters.

Edit: There was a hidden accent. Apparently one of the spaces that was copied and pasted was a Japanese space, which the forum cannot accept. What a racist forum.

Yeah I know. I remove all accent marks from film names. Even if it ruins the pronunciation. The other thing it causes is empty, duplicate threads marked "December 31, 1969" that have be removed by a mod.

I'm considering contacting the phpBB forum about both that and the "Post a Reply screen sometimes doesn't load all the way" bug.

Also Dreww, the Kurosawa list didn't have any accents or symbols in it to start with. But the "o-with-a-line over it" on the last "o" in Toshiro Mifune's first name? That will trigger the error.

Same thing with the Poster's Favorite Artists and Albums threads. I had to remove almost every accent to get that through. The albums thread kept giving me the error until I removed the infinity symbol from the title of Godspeed You! Black Emporer's F#A#infinity.

You know you should report things like these to phpBB as they happen. They're pretty helpful.

yeah, but only Lew could fix the problem because he's the admin. I don't even know how they'd instruct the fixing of the problems? My best guess is something with the source code.

If you want to ask them about both bugs (the accent mark errors and the Post reply screen not loading all the way), you can, but i'm probably not gonna do it.

Perhaps Lew should bring an admin on board who's more tech savy?

I back this.

Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam need ones also.

Yeah, that was my plan all along, but I didn't have the time. Maybe later today, possibly tomorrow.

Any chance of Frank Darabont getting a thread, guys?

A chance in hell.

JK. I'll make one later.

Could Bela Tarr get a thread?

wantabodylikeme · **Posted:** Sat Oct 23, 2010 12:32 am

pretty sure you can make your own i think. Just don't put in any crazy accents

Can we not have a favourite directors directory or something? Did we not have one on the old forum?
