Very good point. Images is a weak spot of the SWDb, most often a google search yields better results. Also I wonder if we should use the options to display these, with a mouse over of the descriptions

I think the SWDb looks pretty good now in this regard, particularly when it comes to lesser-known titles, that being said, some of the Corbuccis and especially the Leoneās outings could use some more image content.
And while there is some good stuff online, a lot of it is still fairly low-res. Surprisingly enough, I couldnāt find a lot of Italian fotobustas for the Leone westerns, kind of puzzling. Well, maybe next time.
So another area of improvement are the āexternal linksā sections. Lots of outdated broken links, but we could also provide more value by adding much more high quality links to external reviews and articles we know ofā¦
Which other areas of the SWDb should have a direct access from the main menu?
I still think its a travesty that Mark Damon and Craig Hill have not yet been entered into the hall of fame. Also I donāt see George Eastman on either supporting or leading list.

Where do we stand with that, we need some more reviewers!
Another that lacks a review that I watched recently is El Llanero aka The Jaguar. I was thinking of writing a review for it over the next few weeks and I could then, when time permits, get to Giarrettiera Colt (what a sacrifice - to have to re-watch a Nicoletta Machiavelli movie), and Reverendo Colt as well.

I would like to try to write a review. I have to look which movie I can find in acceptable quality and English language.
On the main desktop site, hovering over the navigation tabs (Menu, Community etc) no longer open the tabs, I have to click on them to open them. Also, none of the links work so I canāt open the forum etc. The rest of the links on the page work fine.
Have deleted cached data, deleted cookies and restarted PC.
Not sure if this is from the update or if itās just on my end but Iāll update you if it starts working again.
Thanks, found the problem and was able to solve it. Can you check again?

Thanks for the compliment! And thanks for releasing my first SWDb review so quickly. It looks great!
Did there used to be a ratings poll at the top of each spagās forum page at some time in the past? I 've seen people mention something of the sort in very old posts. I think that would be something interesting to have included on each filmās page, where members can leave their rating and an overall consensus could be displayed. Thoughts?
Yes there were but they were gone during some past update. The problem with those polls were that some member(s) -you know who- made several accounts to manipulate the vote results for his likings.
I like the idea of a poll but to prevent manipulation Iād suggest to give voting rights just to certain people, staff members or otherwise regular users.

We could limit it to a certain trust level. But even trustworthy folks often donāt reach these due to lack of activity

Ah, thatās interesting to know. I had often wondered about that as Iād seen it mentioned before. I like the thought of it too, but I can totally see how that could be an issue with manipulation. It would be a nice thing to include otherwise.
