So the thing with torrent sites, like Pirate Bay, is that lots of places block them, so if I include a link to the icon then people are going to get pinged on that at work.

So feel free to add those sites by-hand (and log them on the Wiki page), but they probably won't make it into the main-stream release.

@ekbworldwide: I'm hesitant to pull in rating scores for two reasons:
1) It's more or less "impossible" to correlate movies between sites, given that the same movie often has different titles on different sites. Example, a TV show and movie having the same name, where some times it will be displayed in quotes, some times with (TV) at the end, or (tv series), etc. And then you have the DVD "Season X" versions.

Maybe if every site published an IBSN microformat or something...

2) I don't really want to suck up bandwidth doing cross-site downloads; just pulling down the favicons already adds a surprising amount of latency.

1.6.7 fixes the BB icon (again; I should just use a data: URL), adds links to FilmSpot.com.

The CSS coding on FilmSpot makes it hard to add links from there, but I'll try harder if anyone requests it.

Ok, moved the preferences panel to the top of the page.

Great suggestion, thanks!

Version 1.5.10b should fix the Rotten Tomatoes issue.

Some of the links are actually Javascript buttons that submit hidden forms. Sites that use POST in their search forms instead of GET (which is lame) require this.

The effect of this is to prevent those sites from being "click-to-open-in-new-tab" enabled, and Metacritic is one of those sites.
