Uploading photos for contributions

It would be really nice when we are editing cast/crew lists if the "provide an explanation to assist in processing this change" box allowed us to upload photos. I have to upload them to my personal dropbox account and then link that photo.

Imdb feature film length

I believe the IMDb feature film length should be changed from 45 minutes to 40 minutes to be consistent with American and British Film Institutes as well as the Oscars. Attention span is about 6 seconds, no wonder box office is down . Let's get some common sense ; great efficient filmmakers can tell

Gold, Silver, and Bronze classification of members hard to distinguish

When the symbol of the Gold, Silver, or Bronze classification is shown on a member's website, the colors seem so similar that it's visually impossible to determine if a member has achieved either a Gold, Silver, Bronze classification.

Could the Goofs, Quotes, and Trivia be listed chronologically from the film?

Suggestion that the lists of quotes, goofs, and trivia be shown chronologically from the film's timeline. I skip them for now because I could see a plot point from a not-yet-shown act in the movie. Thanks, I love the Goofs, especially. Very entertaining site for film info. 3.5 of 4.
