Movie connections too difficult to update for complex connections

For several different titles, I have tried correcting the "Reason" field to no avail. Sometimes, the change just never happens, and sometimes, as with this title, I changed the wording of the reason for all its "Version of" connections, it updated for that title but not the others, and now it's reverted back to the way it was before. For another title, I added a "Followed by" connection; it worked for that title, but in the other title, the reason is blank, which shouldn't be possible. For other titles, I have tried adding extra "Version of" connections, but they are not getting added.

It says in the submission guide for movie connections that editing complex connections can be cumbersome, but it shouldn't be this difficult.

Sorry to hear about the problems.  Please can you share the contribution IDs of any unprocessed corrections so we can investigate?

Thanks for the reply, Col. These are the current ones I'm having trouble with:
161116-135944-803000
161112-072103-463000
161112-074145-413000
161112-073857-874000
161112-074000-922000
161112-072845-787000
161102-134544-094000
161024-070652-873000
161024-063520-750000

My submissions follow the rules in the submission guide. If I've done something wrong, I'm happy to correct it. However, despite the submission guides and FAQ sometimes saying that IMDb will request further information if needed before a submission is accepted, this has never happened for me and I don't see how it would be possible.

With changes to the (complex) movie connections now being live (see https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/changes-to-movie-connection-submissions), I've revisited your submissions and made changes where applicable.

Really? Problems are solved here?

There were so many questions I asked IMDb throughout the years of my membership. None was answered. All wasted in hollow.

At least, once in a while, goofs or trivia are added. :-)
