Guest pert, ud Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Does anyone have difficulties posting feedback to TCM since its website was "upgraded"? It asks for a "user I.D." to log in, but no user I.D. is given out during registration; it's done with just emails and passwords. At this writing, the feedback forum will not allow you to "log in" with this information. Logging in without any information does not open up a new user screen, like it says it will. It is very hard to access. Any suggestions are welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cat, Maggie the Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I've never gotten it to work, but I figured it was because I use Macs. There are several doo-dads here that just don't work on my computers. (Hell, the Oct 1 redesign shunts me off to a directory called "exclude," even though I'm using a new browser and the latest Flash version.) However, that particular function is farmed out to another company, so there's no telling where the problem is. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I wanted you to know that I feel your pain.

lorrieleit Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 I'm very unhappy to see I must have lost my screen name on TCM to someone else. When I tried to login the screen said that user name was already in use. (Yeah, by me)When I tried to update my email address I was told that I was now a guest and not authorised to make these kind of changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviejoe79 Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I must agree with most everyone else, that this new system is more complicated and aggravating than ever before. I just logged in, and it says I have one post, meanwhile I have been posting and replying for months now. Some wise person once said "If it ain't broke, than don't fix it" but they obviously lived before the days of computers, where things change left and right. Just putting in my 2 cents.

alix1929 Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I tried to "leave feedback" that I was having trouble posting messages on the message board, and was unable to do this. Guess this'll cut down on complaints, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashvulgrrrl Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Oy! Honey, I feel your pain. I managed to compose a lovely feedback question, then felt violated by the login questions. Hayull, they require a URL. What, you're required to have your own Web site to ask a question? That's Sofa King Stupid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDana Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Do not like the new programming. For the Holiday season where are movies like "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Holiday season where are movies like "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life"? Miracle on 34th Street was made by Fox, which now belongs to Disney. Disney's business model is to negotiate with nobody, lock everything in a vault, and force you to cough up money monthly to stream Disney+ if you ever want to see anything they own again. They are hoping that wanting to see Man of La Mancha's Delorean, or whatever it is called, will be incentive enough. Werner Herzog eats his reputation. It's a Wonderful Life, once in the public domain, is now owned by NBC. They trot it out at Christmas for a couple of viewings a year, chock full of commercials. I think this has been true for a couple of decades. In case you are wondering about "White Christmas", I think AMC may have broadcast rights - not sure about this. They think for some odd reason that the same people who enjoy Walking Dead - by now the Marathoning Dead - with non stop gross out factors and sexual assault will enjoy this old film. Odd folks running that place. December on TCM usually consists of lots of repeats of the Christmas films that WB/MGM/RKO owns, a Star of the Month whose films the Turner Library has easy access to so it is cheap - Joan Blondell in this case, and also this month "remakes". The remakes spotlight has taught me that MGM really did run out of ideas after Irving Thalberg died. All they could seem to do was remake their landmark dramas and comedies of the 1930s and early 1940s into saccharine musicals in the late 40s and 50s. Don't let the Algonquin Round Table that has taken over these boards dissuade you from asking questions. I remember in December 2010 somebody posted a thread entitled "Too many silent films and too much Mickey Rooney". That month TCM was running a documentary in seven(??) parts entitled "Moguls and Movie Stars: A History of Hollywood". There were lots of silent films in the first two or maybe even three installments, and Mickey Rooney was Star of the Month in December 2010. I know, I talk too much.

Don't worry. I'm sure your reply will discourage this newbie from ever asking another question again. At least you didn't correct their grammar.

slaytonf Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Miracle on 34th Street (1947) has been shown a number of times. But I guess never again. You could, of course--ulp!--pay to watch it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you didn't correct their grammar. Probably true, unfortunately Ls. Upon further reflection this morning, I have to admit I DID come on PRETTY damn strong there last night didn't I, and could have stated what I stated a little more diplomatically. huh. Still though, how is it after over 20 years that it ISN'T common knowledge as to which entity has owned sole broadcast rights to Capra's film, and thus why TCM hasn't shown it? And I would think even those who aren't members of an "Algonquin Round Table" would know this by now. You see, I too would love to watch one of Jimmy Stewart's greatest performances on broadcast TV and without all those damn commercials interspersed throughout the proceedings, and so I suppose I kind of took my frustrations out about this on the poor newbie here. (...OH, and re any correction of their grammar...I didn't notice any in DDana's post that needed it, and so DDana was good to go THERE anyway, and which in today's world DOES seem sort of a minor miracle, wouldn't ya say?!...sure, certainly not in the same miracle category as say an angel getting his wings, but still.....)

speedracer5 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Wow. This thread was made a few months after I graduated high school. Everyone has their holiday traditions, if It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street are yours, why wouldn't you own your own copy? I like those films okay, I even own them, but they are not even in my top 5 favorite Christmas film. They might be the films I watch when I've watched all my other ones.
