The New and Improved Movieline: A Reader FAQ

It's pushing happy hour for many of our readers, but better late than never, I'd like to welcome you to the redesigned Movieline. Hopefully you've had as much enjoyment perusing the new layout and sections as we had putting them together, but I totally understand if you have some questions. In fact, I know you have some questions! And now, some answers.

Wow! Fancy! What's the occasion?

Well, you know. Gotta spruce up the house every now and then. A few new accessories here and there, some refurbishments, a new coat of paint. Hopefully it still feels like home.

What specifically is new?

Several things! For starters:

· Feature boxes at the top of our home page, Newsline, TVline, Reviews section and elsewhere offer a more conspicuous run through our top stories -- at least a little more conspicuous than the little boxes at the top of the old site. Think of it like moving from a 20" cathode-ray antique to a 42" flatscreen bomber.

· The videos section offers the latest in video reviews, trailers, viral scorchers and more some of which you'll even be able to play without leaving the home page. Look for that soon.

· Previously on Movieline offers a pleasing array of the day's headlines in one convenient, easy-to-navigate location at the bottom of our home page. Or you can always click back and back and back into the archives as you like. Your call.

· Stephanie Says is no longer just a classic Velvet Underground song that Lou Reed ripped off and slowed down for Berlin! It is a crucial spot in our sidebar where chief critic Stephanie Zacharek's latest reviews are abstracted, scored and passed along for your reading pleasure.

The latter feature is cool, but can't you add the title of the movie Ms. Zacharek is reviewing there?

Thanks for asking! We will have a closer look at that.

What's up with that "Comment of the Moment" box at the top of the middle column?

As a few silver-tongued commenters have already discovered, our community's most intelligent, witty and insightful feedback may be rewarded with status as a featured comment. That distinction brings much front-page glory (at until someone else says something awesomer) and permanent enshrinement in ML's Hall of Commenter Adulation. See examples here or here.

Can you please enshrine me in Movieline's Hall of Commenter Adulation?

If you're good! Literacy helps as well. (You know who you are, trolls.)

Why can't I page-back to older stories?

You can. The "Next" and "Back" arrows are now returned to the bottom of the home page.

Why is it that when I refresh the home page I sometimes see articles from months ago?

I'd love to tell you that's the unveiling of our long-awaited Vault feature of Movieline archives dating back to 1989. However, for now it's a weirdly persistent bug. But no worries: We've got it right where we want it, and it'll be vanquished in no time. Just refresh your browser for now and it should restore today's stories. Thanks for understanding.

Oh, that reminds me: When are you finally launching The Vault?

Any time now! Last I heard it's as little as a week away. Oh, man is it worth the wait. You're going to love it.

List any more you've got below -- we'll answer them as soon and as decisively as we can. Thanks much!
