Quoting Mike:

I completely agree on all accounts, Im not saying becouse its NR or R or whatever you cant make a desicion for a person of age to watch, Im saying before beta an age of 13 or below the menu does not even list that user for ratings NR,R,pg-13 ect unless you checked filter users by ratings then your able to check that user.


Maybe I am dense but, what does it matter whether or not the user is shown?  If I don't want my kids to watch a DVD, I just don't let them watch it.  Whether or not their unser name shows up for that DVD doesn't matter to me.  Am I missing something?

Beyond that, I agree with Pete.  Having all NR profiles default to a higher rating isn't the answer.  If that was how it was done in the past, I would have considered it a bug.  Perhaps a check box for NR that are not 'family friendly' would be a better option.

Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

This seems to me to yet another excellent example of the use of Tags. I am with Unicus, when my grandkids are in my house, they watch what I let them watch, I don't care what their parents let them watch in their house and i don't need any program, computer or governmental to be a nanny for me. I know whether i consider a given film in my library to be suitable or not.

Would you be able to use tags to display only films tagged "family friendly" or what-have-you?  I am unfamiliar with the way the tagging system functions with Profiler, except to say that they do not seem to function the same way that Library Thing's do.

As far as the rest of it goes, I'm with you Skip.  I know if I'm going to watch my friend Christi's kids, we can all watch My Friend Flicka but maybe not so much for the uncut version of American Psycho.

You would set up your Tag, label it whatever you want. For every film that meets whatever requirements you have for that tag, you check the box, then you can filter on that tag and create a list.
