Considering that I'm putting the dates in bold, I've decided to italicize the movies and TV series that appear.<br /><br />2. Template has been switched. In addition, as titles are removed from the service, instead of crossing them out, I am now highlighting them in gray.Brian Clarksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574427476968127261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085002309189768633.post-24166911185634519962015-10-16T11:58:54.890-07:002015-10-16T11:58:54.890-07:00Thanks, Brian.

Looks like you're off to a good start--although at the current pace (and breadth) you're going to have your work cut out for you! If you're interested in a bit of feedback, I'd recommend 1) bolding or otherwise highlighting movie titles so they stand out in paragraphs, and 2) maybe not using the same template as Carol? Could be confusing. Anyway, just my two cents. Lots of luck with everything, yourself!David Speranzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630648786758413634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085002309189768633.post-53085954063026419752015-10-14T16:12:04.640-07:002015-10-14T16:12:04.640-07:00Thanks for a great run with your blog, David. Bet...Thanks for a great run with your blog, David. Between you and your readers, I've learned quite a bit since I started covering Netflix for Rotten Tomatoes (under both my real name and under Apex Predator).<br /><br />Due to RT's Touch and Go nature this year (they've shut down twice for renovations this year alone), I've decided to go ahead and start a blog covering Netflix's additions and subtractions on a monthly basis in case the decision is made to shut down RT once and for all. It's called Netflix Queue Busters and it's basically my weekly report to RT in a blog form, complete with plot summaries and a few jokes.<br /><br />Now, I do plan on helping Carol out with her blog when I come across entries that haven't been reported yet. There's not any competition, but I consider NQB more of an enhancement that can help other Netflix users with films to look forward to or try to catch before it leaves the streamer. Any help from long time or new users is appreciated (as they say, the more eyes that can see something, the better).<br /><br />Here's the link: http://netflixqueuebusters.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I wish you the best of luck with your life and career and hope everything goes right with every one of you.Brian Clarksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574427476968127261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085002309189768633.post-88838858202383890552015-10-04T16:58:58.076-07:002015-10-04T16:58:58.076-07:00David,

I hope that Carol is successful with the later.<br /><br />I don't know what I will do with Netflix in the long term. I have been on Netflix and Hulu for two years with the first year free for each with a new TV. The last couple of months with Netflix have been very annoying, but there is still a fair amount of content and it is a lot cheaper than cable.<br /><br />To those commenting about MyList, lately for me it works differently depending on whether I go to it form the Home page (thumbnail format) or from the My Account page (text format), and I can't figure out any way to add to it from the Web page. The TV app still works fine.<br />Achernarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085002309189768633.post-85742281745581120822015-10-04T11:01:58.250-07:002015-10-04T11:01:58.250-07:00Disappointed to see this site go.

I said I had turned off the test option on my profile and was told it wasn't a test I could opt out of, that it was for everyone. About half an hour later, My List was back to normal. Maybe enough people called to complain and they put it back, or they did something to my settings where I was signed up for tests anyway and undid that after my threat to cancel. Or, I guess the test could have been based on region and I was in one of the unlucky regions.Nicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085002309189768633.post-35559576423501406982015-10-02T20:19:10.751-07:002015-10-02T20:19:10.751-07:00My My List hasn't changed.

I can't manually arrange titles or see expiration dates on that page anymore, which means no more one-month warning on TV shows. And with titles not available through search on the DVD side, that means that TV shows you can't find on the DVD side will only have two weeks' warning if you have a device that will show you that. I called to complain and said I'm on the verge of cancelling. With Amazon Prime and Hulu as the big choices plus smaller services cropping up and DVDs as low as $5, the reasons to stay are getting smaller and smaller.Nicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085002309189768633.post-44619997220728755562015-10-01T17:07:56.462-07:002015-10-01T17:07:56.462-07:00Sorry for the confusion, LarryG.

Your expirations list also helped me find many titles I did not know were even streaming at the time.<br />I took a look at Carol's blog and noticed it's not set up properly. She may be a little tech-challenged. She posted a Comment using a Simple Template without any Comments link. Perhaps, if you don't mind sharing, you could explain to her where to find a blog post Template and which one to choose. And how to add the Comments feature to the Template. Her email address is on the webpage.

I knew this was coming, but it's st...Oh, David. I knew this was coming, but it's still like hearing "So long, and thanks for all the fish!" It is both sweet and practical that you quoted me so much in this post. And it is yet another reminder of how participatory you have made this blog.<br /><br />So, if the group endeavor is to keep going in some form, how do we all want to make this happen? Some thoughts:<br />- PARTS I CAN PLAY: [We could each comment here on what we ourselves are willing to keep doing.] For instance, I (Linklisa) can easily share expiration dates that pop up in my own "My List" and that I see listed elsewhere. I can contribute some to organization and guidelines and such. <br />- THINGS I HOPE SOMEONE ELSE CAN DO: Host a forum for contributions. Set up monthly pages to share expiration dates, and separate pages for discussion. Check expiration dates further ahead (possible with DVD subscriptions and some 3rd party device listings).<br />- WHERE THIS COULD HAPPEN: We might reach out to NewOnNetflix.info or allyourscreens.com or another existing blog, and ask if they're willing to open up comments to Name only and Anonymous, not just people who will link to a blog or URL. One of us might step forward, with clear indications on David's blog of where else we can all meet up. If David were willing to keep hosting, it could be a matter of setting up a new comments page each month, perhaps with brief guidelines rather than an essay. (Of course I don't know how much that would be asking, in terms of quality control or of tugging at the heartstrings.)<br /><br />In all of this, I'd like to acknowledge the tremendous labor of love this blog has been for David, and what a warm campfire we've all been invited to. We all benefit from the tremendous crowd-sourced information resource this has become, and I hope we can find a way to keep this up.Linklisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085002309189768633.post-30755692485325833712015-10-01T08:50:48.109-07:002015-10-01T08:50:48.109-07:00That's awesome, Carol.

I desperately needed an organized list of expiring titles for October, so I made one from all of your comments, and figured you might like to have that as well.<br /><br />The blog is at http://expiringonnetflix.blogspot.com/<br />Feel free to add titles in the comments there. I will also continue to check this (David's) blog for new expirations.<br /><br />David, I hope this is alright with you. Thanks for making my movie life so much easier, more organized, and better over all. <br /><br />Everyone else, I hope I'll see you at the new blog, at least until something better comes along. Like fantasticangel, I don't have the resources to come up with expiring titles on my own, but I thought if we had a place where all of you who DO could continue to list them, it would be helpful.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12411325039101911298noreply@blogger.com
