IMDb Community site is back online

Hi @NYVKE - At this time, whitespace will be removed and links will be plaintext. You will need to copy and paste the link in your browser to access. We are working to reinstate this functionality and will share updates as it becomes available.

Hi @dan_dassow - Thanks for your patience and sharing your concerns about the difficulty in managing the FAQs for IMDb polls. At this time, all links will be displayed as plain text and will not be clickable. We are working to reinstate linking and will provide updates as further functionality becomes available.

Michelle, Thank you for quick response and your continued efforts to provide further updates as functionality becomes available. Please tell me if there is anything I can do to help you with your Herculean task.

Currently FAQs are at best difficult to read and effectively unusable.

For example: -------------------- FAQ: So You Want to Make an IMDb Poll? Here's How... https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdb-poll/faq-so-you-want-to-make-an-imdb-poll-heres-how/5f4a79a68815453dba8499e9 -------------------- [Note: This FAQ is referenced directly from an IMDb Help page https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/featured-content/polls-faq/G9SG4DUYABDXS4TX?ref_=helpsect_cons_4_3#]

FAQ: Key Threads - IMDb Poll FAQs Index https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdb-poll/faq-key-threads-imdb-poll-faqs-index/5f4a7caa8815453dba0e7a7a

In the mean time, I will post a message on the IMDb Poll Board providing guidance on how best to use the reduced Sprinklr capability for suggestion and updating polls.

Hi dan_dassow - Thanks for listing all these FAQ examples and your dedication in managing a workaround for the time being. We are working diligently to reinstate functionality so you and the other Champions can moderate polls efficiently.

Hi amirshossein1989 - I can confirm that one of our Champion Poll Admins was able to create your recently requested Poll, any related updates for this can be viewed on the following thread: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdb-poll/poll-suggestion-chandler-bings-girlfriends/6766848fa13932149a62ce10

Thank you Michelle a lot but, I can't find which of my poll requests were created. Could you help me if you don't mind?

The last poll of yours to go live was Heroines In Video Games, but there will be more soon.

I know and really appreciate that. Thank you Peter

Yes, this message board was unavailable for over a week. There are still some problems that need to be fixed now that it is back, and the staff is aware of that. For example, we can't format text with bold or italics, and links are not active. See https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-community-site-is-back-online/67c7463ff1f6982721eb235d -- but for now, you'll have to copy that link rather than clicking on it.

I still don't know how links are posted in the new edit form. What was the way to get to the old form, wasn't it something like -large in the edit form? I tried to do it like in past time. Please look at the resulsts: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdb-poll/poll-suggestion-ai-and-politic/67cd9e1306df4e166de1e4d4 It gets worse and worst to write polls. :( Now the sprinklr site is broken, will we really continue like that? :(

Breumaster, as Michelle said some functions including links are unavailable, but IMDb is working on it.

Thank you, Peter. :D

I wonder if it would help to write to Sprinklr and let them know about the technical problems with this forum.

Following up to my own post: I actually did write a letter to Sprinklr but have received no response after two months.

Hi amirshossein1989 - We will provide updates on this post as they become available. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused in the meantime, and thank you for your patience as we work to restore site functionality.

Thanks for your attention, I hope the website works as well as it was...

Olmac, I just noticed that Sprinklr restored avatars. However, I do not know whether users with Sprinklr accounts can add/update their profile pictures (avatars). If it is possible to do so, please follow these steps: 1. Make certain that you are logged into your IMDb Sprinklr account. 2. Go to your profile page. In your case this is https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/users/67d84e8303c3636e73fed0b4 3. If you are logged in, you should see a yellow edit button in the upper right hand corner of your profile page. 4. Click the yellow edit button. You should see your profile setting page. 5. Select Profile Information, if it is not already selected. 6. Click Update Profile Picture. You should be able to upload your profile picture (avatar) if that functionality is available.

I still can't choose bold letters and change to "Live Poll: ..." ... things like that. ;)

Hi gromit82 & Breumaster - Unfortunately, I don’t have any updates to share at this time, but I’ll be sure to keep you informed on this thread as soon as anything changes.

Dan: How were you able to do that? Can you post a screenshot of the edit box so we can see how the interface works? All I see is a plain box with "Comment on this post here..." in gray, with no button to add an image.

Which functions will we get back? What about links in the forum? I'm also interested in a little tutorial for the functions we will gather (back). Thank you for reporting.

@gromit82 and @Breumaster, I updated this post since only emojis can be be used. An emoji is a character, similar to a letter or number, but it's a part of the Unicode standard. There is no interface for adding emojis. I noticed that @ACT_1 posted emojis in this post: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdb-poll/live-poll-celebrity-birthdays-september-16/68b57e0dd1f9fa10383544e7?commentId=68bc48f3ff44a43b64a5423a I don't understand his explanation. However, this is how I did it: 1. Find an emoji that you can copy from a web page. 2. Copy that emoji. 3. Paste that emoji while in the edit box. For instance: 1. Web page with an emoji that I can copy https://www.google.com/search?q=smile+emoji 2. Copy the smile emoji. 3. Paste that emoji while in the edit box. 😊 Note: This is an undocumented feature and may disappear. Other emojis that you can copy from this thread: 🙂🥰😮😊🤩😊 There are more emojis at this link. https://www.google.com/search?q=smile+emoji This Wikipedia article has more than 100 emojis. List of emojis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emojis#

I can post emojis through iPhone's keyboard. I didn't think that worked, so thanks. I don't think I can copy-paste other images. I can't copy-paste the smilies from https://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/

@Peter_pbn,It looks like we can only paste emojis into Sprinklr. An emoji is a character, similar to a letter or number, but it's a part of the Unicode standard. Whereas the smilies from Planet Smilies are images.Even though emojis are part of the Unicode standard they are unsupported characters in IMDb lists.This Wikipedia article has more than 100 emojis.List of emojishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emojis#  

Emojies work under Windows using WIN + . 😛😂❤️👍🏽🪚🔪🍺🍻🚬🚬🚬

@Michelle and @Jessica, We had brief hope that some of Sprinklr's functionality had returned. Sadly, it just disappeared again. Links in old posts are no longer present.
