I don't understand

Does nobody encounters any bugs on this site? Literally there is huge bug on the site, for over a year now and nobody fixes it It was gone for a while, but now it happens more often than before Episodes, fully accepted and added weeks before, sometimes even months Doesn't work When you try to add crew or cast to it, it says episode can't be mapped Doesn't matter that episode exist and added months before (fully accepted) Now i encounter this literally with every maybe 5th title, where some episodes from the title doesn't work When before it was much more rarely I tried so many times to write about it on imdb contact, but it's useless as always 8/10 times you get robotic answer which is literally about different thing And 2/10 times they say they will report it and i tought they fixed it, since it was gone for some time But now it came back even stronger

Without knowing the series the screenshots are of not much use.

What series has to do with it, when it happens often? Try create 10 titles, with 20 episodes each and you will see the problem

@ugnieska​ I'm not immediately seeing any error. What kind of data are you trying to submit?

Okay, I see that three episodes could not be found in the episode browser.

If you enter the correct episode data yourself it does seem to work, though.

@Bethanny​ As seen in my first screenshot I hadn't selected episode 1.6, 1.11 and 1.18 because they were not available to select. This is when trying to add a credit from the series page.

Yeah you can add to each episode individually, i tried that, but it's so much work like that, group adding doesn't work

@Col_Needham​ I hope it will be fixed soon, becauce this bug now evolving like some kinda a virus It shows that some episodes was not accepted But it's already on the site, of course you can't add anything to it, well you can add individually, but with group adding you can't

I think it will give up for creating episodes, because it's not possible anymore. Now every title i try to create episodes for, if its more than 8 they get bugged. Yesterday from 20 episodes, 6 were bugged. And it's with every title now, sometimes 2, sometimes 3, sometimes 1 if it's 8 total. I try to add then one by one on individual episodes, but it takes so much time, so it's not worth it. I don't understand nobody experiences it, but me? How is that possible?

But how it can be small numbers of titles, when i encounter it in every even small title now. And all happens only for me, i don't do anything specific, i don't use any bots to do contributions or something Few days ago i created episodes for 5 mini titles, 4 episodes each And every title were bugged First title 1 episode Second title 3 episodes even Third title 2 episodes Fourth title 1 episode And fifth title also 2 episodes Then i created 20 episodes for other title and 7 episodes were bugged It looks even like something is done on purpose, i understand it's not the case, but it looks like that, because only i get this bug and on every title almost now It really bumps my enthusiasm for creating titles, because it gets bugged all the time I can create test titles for programmers if it's necessary, maybe then they will find what bug causing it, because it looks like only i get it

See my response in your previous thread: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/i-dont-understand/65d46b9a36d43032e574ed33?commentId=65d4740fed7a464f968d9301&replyId=65d4bcd7ed7a464f968d9f9b Without knowing the series the screenshots are of not much use. The original thread is still marked as "In Progress". As was pointed out there, few other people seem to be seeing this issue and your experience seems to be unusual.

@owenrees​ I can say why other people doesn't experience it. Bugs like this doesn't choose people on what account to have this bug. Many people fill episodes one by one, when it airs, that's why they don't get it. For past few months i studied how western series contributors works. In the east we work differently because many episodes air on the same day, or in a few weeks tops. And main crew is always the same, so you add them on all episodes at once.

And also i found a way how to work around this bug, but this make so much time, when you have to do it one by one, same credits after same credits When on any episode you add some credits directly, it starts to appear on episodes list to add all at once I did it today with these series too, because i can't wait when it will work, because these series airing right now But now i have to push work on others series for the next day, because i spend more time on these series And also this is another reason why nobody gets this bug Because many people work on the series contribution, so if one person adds everything one by one, for another it will work adding all at once But when i do mostly everything alone it sucks, because you have to spend time on the thing that should work
