Proposed formatting change: [Movie Title] (Year)
March 9, 2018 9:03 AM - Subscribe
I was wondering if it's feasible, or supported, to add (Year) after movie titles in the main FanFare view? Years are added to the movie-specific page, so I figured it was a design choice.
My reason to ask is that I don't follow current movies at all, so many times I have no idea if the movie post is about something brand new, relatively current, or an older title.

Fourthed. I often click into the detail page just to see what the film's year is.

Hah, funny. I was just thinking last night that it would be nice to have the year in the title bar when viewing the detail/thread page, so consider this a "more years" piggyback.

Oh, sweet--it looks like this is happening? When I saw this I thought I'd start manually adding the year because it seemed like a great idea, but now I think I'm duplicating something that's already happening.

Hi MoonOrb, I flagged one of your movie posts for manually adding the year, which looks good on the main FanFare page, but on the movie page, you get a double year -- example: That Movie (2017) (2017).
I appreciate your efforts, but I hope there's a systematic solution instead of relying on individual efforts like this, for the sake of clean layouts or something ;)

Keep flagging if you see them! I don’t think I’ve done that too many times but I caught one myself last night and flagged it too.

Love this idea, and I think it would be especially welcome on the archive listing as movies with the same title begin to pile up - one day all the Brewster's Millions flicks will be there, and how will I instantly be able to tell the difference?

*notices not a single Brewster's Millions is up, panics*

Any update on this? It came to mind last week when "Movie: Carrie" was posted and I couldn't tell from the listing on the main page whether it was the 1976 or 2013 version.
