It looks like also there is a change that new TCIs are no longer automatically generated?

It might seem weird, but we've been doing a lot of work on the back-end to try. Still, this is a problem which we can't reproduce or explain. It seems like some of our preemptive efforts are working, but not for everyone.

Until we can reliably reproduce the issue, it's going to be hard to fix for good. We won't stop trying to figure it out, but if you guys discover other reasons it's appearing, definitely share them.

Well, yes and no. We did take the "auto generating" off of the front-end, suspecting that nobody would miss it. At the end of the day, it was too heavy a resource hog, and led to a general slowing down of the site. That said, we're still constantly generating TCIs on the back-end, when you load a page or rank a film. You can always see your ten "latest" TCIs on the TCI Page.

Gotcha. Thank you for explaining.

I've noticed that on an actor/director's page, it no longer says if a film is a TV series/TV movie/short etc. As someone who exclusively ranks feature-length films, it's a bit inconvenient.

Thanks for pointing this out! We've added that information again to the results.

Any chance of re-adding the average score display to actors/directors etc. pages?

The colour selections for my rankings appear to be correct and consistent everywhere except the Most Recently-Starred Reviews tab on my profile page, where they revert to the default values. (They're fine on the full Starred Reviews page)

This one should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting it!

Thanks for pointing this out! We've now made it so that if you hover over the percentile value, you'll see your average score.
