Can the "Your Favorite People list" be accessed from a computer? Why is it iOS only?

This is absurd; it has been four years since you made this comment. I check back to this thread every few years expecting some fort of update.

This "Add to favorites" button is literally front and center on the app when you go to an actor's page, with a massive yellow button. You are deliberately encouraging use of this button by giving it so much real estate on an already limited mobile format. Yet for you to not even support the VIEWING this list on the web version of the site is so unusual. This is basic UX principles. Either de emphasize the button/functionality on the mobile app, or support at least seeing the list on the browser. 

Screenshot of it on the mobile app. 

@shape5​ Oh I see, thanks. 

I wish IMDB would just make a visual "Lists" section on each entity's page (film/person/company/etc.), so that any list one has could be seen in a similar way. 

Discogs.com (for music releases) does this by having a "Lists" section on the side panel, where your own lists are at the top of the section (public & private) along with public lists from other users. It works pretty well.

(AFAICS, to deal with a huge number of lists on an item, they limit the number of lists seen in the Lists section on the main item page to 20, with others seen on another  page via the "View More Lists" button underneath.) Looks great to me. 

See my RED additions in the screenshot below that explains this better [random image found on web]: 

@jimthing​ There is actually an IMDb “User Lists” section on each title page along the right hand column if you scroll down a bit, which shows all the lists that contain that title in it.  Super useful discovery tool.  It exists only on the site though, not in the phone app.  Then if you click on User Lists it will open all of them in a new page.

Yeah, I’ve been on Discogs for over 2 decades – essential site for underground music.  It’s basically the Internet Music Database :)

@shape5​ Sure yes, but three problems, when logged in: 

1. Non-reference mode viewable only. 

The huge number of users who prefer their settings to be in reference mode (aka advanced mode) see ZERO lists features; only users of non-reference mode get to see Lists at all on title pages. 

2. Your own lists are not shown on top. 

If the title is in a list(s) you made, the list(s) is not automatically shown as the top on the title page. So you may have to click through to the "User lists" page and then click through a gazillion lists made by other users to find it. 

3. Only available for Title/Person pages, Companies/etc. AND lists can only have one type of entity in them (i.e. you can't have Title and Person in same list). 

+ mobile apps miss the feature entirely (as you said). 

--------------- 

Here is my own screenshot, showing an idea for two possible places where they could perhaps position coloured dots (colour the user chooses per list) for identifying which of your own lists the title (person/company/etc.) is in: 

(eg. imagining in the lists below that Bafta Film + women in film were ones I created.)

@jimthing​ Gotcha – thanks for clarifying, especially w/ the screenshot.  I see what you mean w/ Reference View too.  I agree that having your own list titles appear in that black area at the top would be very helpful and save a lot of time.  There’s plenty of room on the right below the “Add to Watchlist” drop-down to display the full list names though, as the colors wouldn’t work if you have numerous lists.  If you add this as an Idea I’ll vote for it.

@shape5​ The idea of the coloured dots is they instantly tell the user on which of their own list(s) the item is on while searching around the database and looking on item pages – they could offer, say, up to 10 coloured dots for your main lists, with a final dropdown menu appearing if the item was on one of your non-main lists. 

This has been banded about before in one shape or another (eg. instead of just colours, also adding a number/letter to the middle of the coloured dot). But it went nowhere. So I don't waste my time with offering formal ideas anymore.
