Selected Track Not Showing Up in My List of Selections - ???

Post by DiamondGirl »

I came across a track numbered 6302616V1, and thinking it was a calibration movie I clicked on the spot off to the left side in the middle. It looked a little blurry, but had that same pixellation that the calibration movies have. So I clicked it, and hit OK to confirm.

When I went on to the next movie, I noticed my count for calibration movies did not go up.

I clicked the BACK button to go back and review the movie, and that area did look like something coming into focus, so I checked the MY EVENTS page to see if anyone else had selected it.

And oddly - the FM is not listed. Thinking hitting the BACK button may have affected my not seeing a refreshed list, I went on, did a couple, then went back to My Events. Still not there. ??? I then used the BACK to go back and grab the FM number, but when I plug it into a URL, a totally different movie comes up. Now I don't have any clue what happened.

Has anyone else run into this problem before?

I'm still not sure if this was a calibration movie that somehow messed up and didn't register, or if going BACK somehow removed the selection that had already been made.

calibration movie

Hi DiamondGirl,

Sad to say, that exact thing happened to me last night. Added was a ding for clicking a track on a clear calibration movie. That was my "first" clicking on something in a negative CM that I am aware of. The track I clicked was not just a speck either, it was one of the classic kind with a hole and also below the surface. My silly mistake though was, at bottom focus the "track" did blur some and go out of focus.

You did not add a point to your calibration movies missed? (from getting a ding)

No - I didn't get dinged on this one. That was the first thing I looked for too, but it didn't count as a calibration movie at all. I was hoping to be able to post the URL so someone could check it, but when I did I saw a totally different slide, so unfortunately I can't point you back to it.

It's not that big a deal, really, I just wasn't sure what might have caused it. I'll try to keep an eye out in case I see that particular slide again.
