Once again, this wouldn't upset me if they had an improvement / replacement / alternate in place. But instead, Netflix kills off another feature they never once promoted or improved, saying "no one used it". Maybe if you had encouraged people to use it or made it more worth using after all these years... ?
Netflix Removing Avatars, Nicknames & Bios for Reviews
Netflix announced that they are removing avatars, nicknames & bios from reviews. We’re removing avatars, nicknames and bios associated with reviews, as very few Netflix members use them. We’re constantly working to improve the Netflix experience, and by removing these little-used features we ar...
I'm still not sure what was wrong with the old Facebook Connect. It showed the movie I watched, my rating, and a short blurb (if I wanted to type one). Why not just expand that, why destroy it and start all over again? Even if they're working on something new, why not leave the old one in place until it's ready?
Facebook Has Been Talking With Netflix About Adding Social Features
The NY Times reports that Facebook has been in talks with Netflix about making the service more social, making it seem less likely that Facebook would compete directly with Netflix. We first saw signs of this integration in March when an early test of the integration was discovered. Facebook h...
I've not had the problem Christopher describes. My pet peeve (and one possible explanation for his problem) is that if you add a movie to your queue when only DVD is available, but later the studio decides to release a Blu-Ray version, Netflix does not automatically update your queue. Every few weeks I scan through my queue and I find a handful of movies where the drop-down tab reads DVD and I have to manually change it to Blu-Ray. That could be what happened to Christopher if it's been a while since he added the movie to his queue.
It's doubly-annoying on multi-disc series because there is no drop-down. You have to hover over the title, wait for the pop-up, figure out if it's on Blu-Ray, remove the entire series, and re-add it to get the Blu-Ray version.
I understand if you're in the middle of a series (it may be four DVDs but only three Blu-Rays, thus they don't correspond to one another), but if the series is still in your queue (or if it's just a one disc film), I wish Netflix would update your queue automatically. We are paying for the privilege of Blu-Ray, after all.
Netflix Adding DVDs Instead of Blu-ray When Blu-ray Preference Set?
Christopher writes, "I noticed recently that even though my account is specifically set up to have the Blu-ray added to my queue when available, the DVD is added and I have to manually change to Blu-ray in the queue. I noticed this after receiving a DVD copy of a film that was also on Blu-Ray. ...
