DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Not sure how much want there would be for something like this, but I did some weighted averages of the available ratings of the various poll review threads. IDK, maybe it's the statistics geek in me, but I find it interesting comparing the ratings and all.

Also let me know if I missed any.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Great idea. I like it, almost as much as I like the fact someone other than me is doing it.

Bravo.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Nice :up:

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Thanks guys. I did find a few more and added them (along with links to make it easier for me to update every once in a while).

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

a lot of work. great job and fun to see the closeness of ratings!

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Thanks. And btw, I am updating the Transformers ratings just about daily. So far around here it's fluctuating around 5.6-5.8 while on IMDb it's gone down from a 7.2 to 6.8.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Love it, nice work. Might be a little busy numbers wise. Why the /5 and /10? I would hope anyone could do that math in their head.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

True, though I included the out of 10 for comparison with IMDb and the out of 5 since that's the scale DVD Talk rates them. I know it's a math geek thing, but it's not always a straight x2 from the 5 star rating depending on the rounding (see: Terminator, Star Trek and Tropic Thunder). But I could drop one if it makes it easier to read.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Just looks cluttered, in my not trying to complain opinion. And since you mentioned readability, maybe some bolding or something in those numbers would help.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Oh yeah, I know. Later I might find a better way to present it.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

good work.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Updated. Transformers remains around a 5.6/10 while IMDb has been steadily declining (now a 6.6).

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Updated. Transformers 2 is remaining about the same (5.6/10) and Public Enemies is at a 6.9/10 while on IMDb it's gone down from a (IIRC) 9.1 to 8.7.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Well, I made this into table form but have no idea why there is so much space, lol...

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

You need to remove all the carriage returns in your html.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Yeah I learned that the hard way, try to compress it down to as few actual lines (don't press Enter) as possible.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Thanks. It's too bad because now it'll really difficult to edit... sigh

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

I took the liberty of fixing it for you. Hope you don't mind.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

lol, I think we were editing it at the same time then. Thanks though.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Looks great (once the CRs are out)!

Have you thought about adding the RT score(s)?

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Any advice to those who work with tables on the forum for making it easier to edit?

"Have you thought about adding the RT score(s)?"

Yeah, I'll probable add that later.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

If you have MS Word, you can copy your html into it and then do a search and replace to remove the ^p characters (the carriage returns). I usually build a spreadsheet that adds all the html tags and copy from that to Word, and then to the forum window.

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Might give that a try then. I already have the info in Excel so I'll play around with that and see how it goes. Thanks everyone. :)

Re: DVD Talk Ratings Thread
 

Tried to clean it up, didn't work so well. That said, Yeah I would copy the code into Word and hold on to it, Replace All Carriage Return with a blank space when you want to post an update.

<strike>Also, you can get rid of most of the center tags (need one for the table, then one for ALL the text in the table), it will save a little clutter.</strike>

Edit: Nevermind, that's an IE thing, you have to have the Center tags for compliant web browsers like Firefox. My mistake.

I edit my tables in Word and then just paste the update into the DVD Talk edit screen; I would never try to edit in the DVD Talk edit window. I also use colored text for the actual data and leave the table format stuff black, to make it easier to see the data that needs to be updated. Although extra carriage returns are a problem, extra spaces at each end of a table datum entry are helpful to separate it from the formatting characters.

Also, you may already know this, but an easy way to select a block of text is to place the cursor at one end or another, hold down the shift key, and click at the other end of the string. It selects the entire sequence between the two cursor clicks. (That's probably of more use to me because I have long titles and the like, as well as entire table rows, that I routinely edit/delete in my tables.) For selecting individual numbers just double click on them.
