I just tried to go to their website to enter some new movies I purchased in their database and everything’s changed. The main link now takes you to a message board called “film talk”. I like talking about movies but where’s the database? I tried to sign on but it’s not recognizing me as a member. Did the changeover to the new format delete all old accounts? Are all my database entries gone? WTF? ---

Did you try going [here](http://www.dvdaf.com/)? It says you have to migrate your collection to version 2.0. –FCOD ---

I just tried migrating my old account over. But it’s saying it can’t find my old account. I’m getting a bad premonition on this - I spent months building that database and now I suspect it’s lost. ---

In case anyone cares, I finally cracked this problem. When DVD Aficionado (or DVDAF as they now prefer to call themselves - I’m guessing marketing thought they needed a new “cool” name) switched over to their new format, among the many changes they wrought was to change usernames like mine. “Little Nemo” is now “little-nemo” - a minor change but one it took me over two weeks to figure out because they made no mention of this and their help sections are a joke. Their new format seems to have a lot of bells and whistles but nothing new that’s useful. But at least my database still exists and I was able to find it. ---

And I hate that floating menu thingy. ---

I’m currently transferring my list over to DVD Spot.
