Just to clarify - in the Quadrilogy boxset we don't separately profile the bonus discs that are connected to each separate film (discs 2, 4, 6 and 8) they are simply added to the film's child profile under disc info.
However, we do separately profile disc 9 as it is a bonus disc that covers all the Alien films.

So:
Parent profile - boxset with no disc info, but with boxset contents of 5 child profiles below:
Child profile - Alien: with info for discs 1 & 2
                  Aliens: with info for discs 3 & 4
                  Alien 3: with info for disc 5 & 6
                  Alien Resurrection: with info for discs 7 & 8
                  Alien Quadrilogy: with info for disc 9

Hope this helps!

The relevant sentence(s) in the Rules is (are):

If a Box Set contains discs of Bonus Material for individual films, do not create separate profiles for these discs. Add the information to the individual film’s profile as normal for a single film 2-Disc set. If there is a disc of Bonus Material for all films included in the Box-set, create a separate profile for this disc.

Strange because they are already in the database. In fact 3 of the bonus features discs are up for vote right now.

They should be declined, Cubby. The Bonus Disc SHOULD be attached to the appropriate film. In short Vote NO.

Well hopefully either Ken or Gerri will be able to catch them and stop them, because the only way we can vote on them is if we've already added the bonus discs as separate profiles in our own database!

Whoever submitted the Bonus Discs violated the rules, however because they violated the rules and got them into the DB, does not mean that someone should else should also violate the rules and make those disc IDs part of the Parent profile.

For some reason some members still do not understand the differences between their local DB and the one that we contribute to.  If a member wants to profile every single disc in their collection bonus and otherwise they can but, should only contribute to the main DB what is allowed by the rules.

If they are unsure about making a contribution to the main DB this is the perfect forum to ask such questions.
Are you local?
This is a local shop the strangers you would bring would not understand us, our customs, our local ways.

I agree but you know there are some users who are simply intent on trying to do things their way.
