Okay, i'll be honest... I pretty much never use the filters. Different strokes for different folks, but i'd prefer the Loaned graphic.

I'd be glad to see something like this. I've always gone into the edit user option and browse through all users to see who has my movies... which was the reason I got DVD Profiler in the first place

But such a banner wouldn't help you to see who your movie has, just that it is borrowed. As I said, try to enable the loaned to column in the collection list

I see Icefyre's idea being used more in the context that you're casually browsing your collection looking for something to watch. If he fancied a few Clone Wars episodes and landed on that profile he'd immediately know to keep looking. The loaned to column just doesn't grab your attention as much.
Also I believe the idea was for the graphic to appear over the cover scans not just the thumbnails, although adding it to the thumbnails too might work.

I'm fine with that, although Im sure they could add something to sort that out too.
The reason I want something like this is to know which movie I've loaned out, not necessarily to whom. As I could see that in the users. It started getting really messy when my DVD collection was growing and I loaned out some, and simply forgot that I've loaned them out. So when I got them back I had no idea I was missing them.
This way at least I can see which one's is not in my shelf.

You hit the nail on the head northbloke. That is exactly why I thought it would be useful. Given that there are many ways of browsing your collection and skins you can use in DVDP... it may be a case that a "LOANED" watermark be applied to both the thumbnail as well as the cover.

If we wanted to expand on this, we COULD add something like "LOANED TO [NAME]" over the cover, as the thumbnail would not have enough room for that

But I've noticed, that the image quality is worse than the actual cover.

That looks good SH84... but I have no use for this... as I never loan out my DVDs... but I think a watched one would be pretty cool. Maybe say something like Last Watched on {DATE} by {NAME}.

Then I could get rid of my little basic last watched HTML Window.

Well {NAME} is not included in the header vars... So all I could give you is last watched on.

That would be cool... but unless others want it... you don't have to do it for me at least. I played with the loaned one just to get the feel for it. And noticed that clicking on the image don't bring up the full sized cover-art. I rather keep the ability of having full sized art then replacing the html window I made for last watched. But still cool work!

The image is the full size image, but it it's somehow sharpened by the IE engine...

For you (and the other guys with last watched windows):

You can get who it was watched by by changing the html above. Change this:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
if (DP_LastWatched > 0){
document.write("<div class=\"watched\"><span class= \"loanedtext\">Last watched on " + DP_LastWatched.getMonth() + "/" + DP_LastWatched.getDate() + "/" + DP_LastWatched.getFullYear() +"</span></div>");
}

to

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
last_watch = "<DP NAME="LAST_WATCHED_BY">";
if (DP_LastWatched > 0){
document.write("<div class=\"watched\"><span class= \"loanedtext\">Last watched on " + DP_LastWatched.getMonth() + "/" + DP_LastWatched.getDate() + "/" + DP_LastWatched.getFullYear() +" by " +  last_watch + "</span></div>");
}

That is cool!

But what I meant was When I placed that as a replacement for the standard front image. When I click on it (so it shows me the full sized image) it does nothing. I do appreciate what you did... but as long as when I click on it it does not  bring up the full sized image I will just stick with my little html window
