Live Poll: Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary 1960s Movies

@Peter_pbn​, I will look into it some more. Actually,  determining WB involvement was harder than you would think, so I had to make my best guess. My thought is that they were not the lead production company and more likely a co-production company or stakeholder through a negative deal than not here.

I share your concerns considering it was made outside the US. But, I have seen other foreign language productions that WB produced in the 1960s. WB seemingly had one third own men on-board during productions, as one of the producers for the production was an American. The scenes also seem to have been shot a second time in English too with care to cast multilingual actors, although one accent was so thick it had to be re-dubbed.

Plus, Warner Bros. held all the international distribution rights, so they were a stakeholder with a vested interest in the production. Plus, I have a couple sources listing them as a co-production company. I am not 100% sure, but I am more sure than not they were one of the production companies.

@Peter_pbn​ I moved 'The Damned' into the #35 spot as the pictured example for Another 1960s Warner Bros. Production Not Listed, where at least I can swap out the example if need be. Have you seen this movie?

FYI, I am reporting a non-issue, which means either your team solved this glitch issue or it was created by the poll author, likely by using outside hyperlinks to cite sources.

@urbanemovies​ ,

The glitch appears to only affect the first page of the poll page. The errant characters do not appear on the second poll page:

https://www.imdb.com/poll/?ref_=po_sm&start=26

Unless we report these kind of problems soon after they occur, the problem goes appears to have gone away to the IMDb developers.

@dan_dassow​,  I have been taking these screenshots within hours of each poll going live and posting it on an on-going data issue thread on the topic, so they can see the error immediately, as well as, have a record of the problem, if as you say it disappears after a few days (or when the poll gets to page 2). Lastly, I think using less or no outside hyperlinks on the list helps tremendously. I am still keeping them, as they help keep the polls current, I am just posting them in the poll's thread header instead now.

@urbanemovies​ ,

For the most part, unless you or I post a separate thread that there is a problem, the IMDb staff will probably not act on the problem. When I get a chance, I will do so.

@dan_dassow​ You mean like this one, IMDb Polls: Soft. Glitch or Poll Creation or External Link??? or something else.

@urbanemovies​ ,

I did not see this response from Jon.

Going forward the encoding issue has been corrected and the stray text does not appear beyond page 1 for the polls affected.

I believe the issue is probably resolved.

@Pencho15​ Thanks.
