I updated the "Add movie" and "Edit titles" pages to switch the International & Transliterated titles, as apparently often people were putting the English-translated title (international) in the transliterated field. I also modified captions to "International/English" and "Transliterated/Romanized".
I hope that now people used to use these pages won't make the mistake, with the habit of having the transliterated title directly below the original one... (I can still switch back if needed)
I also added on the "Edit titles" page a link to the IMDb akas page, as it can be useful to check for titles directly.

I'll do some updates on the server tomorrow morning, so the site will be inaccessible for a few minutes (will be less than 30 min if all goes well).
Probably somewhere between 11:00 and 12:00 CEST (time of the site), which would be between 5:00 and 6:00 AM EDT (New York time).

Should be done, I'll check if no issue appear. Please report any error that you encounter (the session issue that appeared before should be fixed now)

New features deployed to the site:
- Previous/Next vehicle links on the vehicle page when accessed from vehicle gallery (movie page or vehicle list).
Currently only for users who are logged in on the site, I'll maybe extend this to all visitors, but I'm afraid of the load it could add to the site with the high number of bots browsing it (though that many of them can be already excluded from that feature).
It takes the list from each of these two pages visited, so there may be case when it does not work properly, especially if you have several pages open at the same time, but it should help when navigating with only one page opened.
- If there are more than 4 alternative titles, only the first two are displayed and the rest can be displayed via a link.
- Default country: if not found in the pre-defined list, in case of all other vehicles of same model or make are listed with one country, that one will also be used. It is useful for less common makes.
- Improved page structure, should not have a visible impact, but could help indexation of search engines.
- Added some check to avoid being able to add a comment or a vehicle on a deleted entry (in case the page is deleted before you validate what you were adding).

I found out that now by default only TLS 1.3 was enabled (instead of 1.2 & 1.3 before), this should not have an impact for users with up-to-date systems but for now I re-enabled the 1.2, as it seems that some bots (e.g. Amazon) do not support the 1.3, that was filling the logs with errors. This allowed also me to find a new bot which identifies itself as Firefox 71.0

Here's a good one for improvement, I guess...
There should be an option on "Search for comments" were we can find archived comments so we don't have to struggle finding comments that were archived
@antp
, does this look like a good idea or not?

It is possible, but what's the use of searching specifically archived comments?

Just an option so people can find archived comments in an easy way

I mean, I don't really see in which case do you need to search specifically archived comment, and just these
(as currently it searches in all comments, including the archived ones)
Usually the archived comments are the less useful ones, kept just for history.

A few new features:
- "Preview comment" button
- The page listing the smileys now includes also basic info about BBCode
- Better handling of font sizes in the CSS, should not make major differences, but it will be more consistent between browsers, and it allowed to add an option "Larger text size" in the profile.

Why is everything on the site so small now?? Like the search fields and drop down menus. I don't like it

Yes, and the fonts seems a little bit different?
Also it seems like the Text size is not working?
80% and 100% look the same to me.

The text size option in % is for the admin pages. And it existed since long time
Admin pages haven't been modified this time.
For the rest of the site, currently the only possibility is the checkbox "Larger text size" if you want larger text (it makes it 120%).
The font is supposed to be the same as before: Verdana, or the default sans serif font of the browser. I think before there was also Arial in the list, so I added it back for those who don't have Verdana, so they have the same font as before.
It may fix the size issue at the same time...
It is possible that some items are in a different size, depending on the default settings of your browser. Now I fixed them to avoid the random size depending on the platform (on my PC, before theses changes, it was a little too small in Edge...)
Is it better now?
Otherwise, can you make a capture of the issues?
It will be easier to try to find what to tweak, which I'll do tomorrow evening.
If it is just a little different but not problematic, you can also just be used to it. At some moments things can slightly change, it is not catastrophic

The 'display options' when searching by vehicle make and all the 'Search' fields and buttons anyway are still too small to me and have to use a magnifying glass while typing something. That's all.

Normally the text in them have the same size as most of the other texts of the page
Can you make a sample screen capture?
Which web browser do you use?
