Newbie question---please be gentle.

I've searched the forums for a couple of hours now without success.  I know I can do a sort/filter by genre, and believe I can do this on the second and/or third level genre categories as well.  What I'd like to do is set up custom categories to define my collection the way I sort them (e.g. Holiday, Music, Television, Jackie Chan, etc.).  I know these would likely fit into the genre categories already established, but there are some inconsistencies in the way they sort, and there are some genres where I don't necessarily want to sort that already exist (e.g. I don't need romance to be sorted separately from science fiction).  Any suggestions?

The other issue I have is identifying discs that I have at home versus ones at my one-bedroom apt in the city.  I think the location feature is what I'm looking for, but will that data be uploaded to My Profiler if I use upload/download in the Online options, or will I lose the personalized info in that process?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions offered.

You are correct relative to "personal" data and the Online. This is why we say

Backup

and never talk about Fight Club.

One thing you could look into which may do what you want is the Tabs system - you can set up your own customised tabs and apply them to individual profiles in the Personalise section.
For example, you could create a tab called Jackie Chan, then tick this tab on all his films.
Then, at a later date you can go into Filters and filter your collection based on the Jackie Chan tab, and only those films tagged will show.

When you have said Tab you mean tag (there is no Tabs system - unless you are referring to the Tab plugin..)

I'll give the Tags option a try over the weekend and post an update with the results.  Thanks for the suggestion!
