Do the megabox as the master, then do a child profile for each disc, and forget about the individual season boxes for now.  When Ken bestows the ability to add a season boxset to a megaset master profile all you have to do is add six, or eight, or ten secondary master profiles for the individual season boxes.  You still can't do grandchildren, but at least the data is in manageable chunks ready for that level when it comes.

If this is what you wish to propose, fine.  Go to the appropriate forum and propose it!

Or start a vote.

For now, the Rules tell us ow to do a "megaset" TV series.

Ah, the Rules Police are alive and well.  Why don't you just shut up, Hal?

What I don't understand is why these people find the need to deprive those of us who want only the parent profile from having any info and forcing us to use child profiles. If you are only using the parent then you need that info to be in there. If you are using the child profiles then what difference does it make what is in the parent? And if you need it to be empty then delete everything in there. It's much easier to delete something then it is for me to enter cast and crew and all that other stuff for every parent profile of a TV series that doesn't have the data already there.

Why should we have to do all your work for you?  If you want all that stuff in the parent, then put it in there yourself - in other words, do the work.

I don't have a problem with that if that's what you want in YOUR local, but it's a two way street.

Dano, let your contribution run its course if it is declined resubmit again pointing out the rule in your contribution notes and citing those voting no because of their personal preference is against the rules.

Do you also understand the difference between the term 'may' and 'must' or 'has to'? A rule that says you may use boxsets isn't stating you must use them in every case. Come on man....surely you can see that.

... so if it is accepted and then I clear out the data and re-contribute next week you will vote "Yes" because I argue it says May so it's within the Rules?

I fully agree the 'may' shouldn't be there but if you interpret it as you have done then there is no point in the Note at all; since the Note is inthe Rules and therefore must have a reason for being there I can only infer that this means the 'may' is there to cover rare occasions when child profiles are not possible (such as the Fawlty Towers you PMd me about where 2 series are spread over 3 discs) NOT to be interpretted as "please ignore this Rule if you want to"
