IMDb Redesigns List-Like Pages

@urbanemovies 

When I tried to add a space line in the notes, the return key could not be used to add the space line back in from the transferred text, because it acts to save the changes and closes the editing feature

Please see the FAQ and specifically:

How do I insert line breaks when editing a list page?

Hope this helps. 

@Col_Needham​ Thanks.

@Boromir​ 

Another annoying thing is that I can't watch my lists without the edit mode. 

Please can you explain what you mean by the above?

I can't copy and paste my lists without the formatting. 

The same again — links and screen-grabs might be helpful, thanks. 

@Col_Needham​ 

this is how I see other lists:

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls528280880/

but I can watch my lists only in edit mode:

Now, I try to copy the text in the list to IMDb poll board but it's impossible to do it  without the text formatting.

for example:

I want to copy "In 2024 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind celebrates  20 years" but I can only copy the text with the text formatting, like this: "In 2024 [link=tt0338013] celebrates  20 years." 

@Boromir Here’s the text from https://www.imdb.com/list/ls066700208/ pasted here:

—————————————————————————————————————————————

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! / The world forgetting, by the world forgot / Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! / Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd" (Alexander Pope's poem "Eloisa to Abelard")

In 2024 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) celebrates 20 years. The story follows Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) as they undergo a procedure to erase memories of their tumultuous relationship.

The movie is full of beautiful, sad and bittersweet moments between the two main characters - Joel and Clementine.

Which one is your favorite?

It looks like perhaps you are trying to copy the text in edit mode, which naturally would include the IMDb formatting so instead you should copy it from view mode. 

@Col_Needham​ 

It's not your list, this is why you can copy the text without IMDb formatting. 

There is no view mode.

@Boromir​ Thanks for clarifying.  I am on Safari on an iPad and I can select the text on my own list, however, I see the problem using Chrome on a Windows machine.   We will report this to the team.   In the meantime, you can still copy-and-paste the text by opening your own list in an incognito / private browsing tab and copying the text from there. 

@Boromir​ 

Same for me. I can only copy it, when logged out. So it turns to a log-out / log-in game. :(

The worst is the very narrow window in that I hardly can see my text to edit it and the "enter"-fail.

@Breumaster​ You do not need to log out / login at all while we look at this issue — as noted above, simply open a private / incognito browser tab and copy from there. 

The worst is the very narrow window in that I hardly can see my text to edit it

For list descriptions, you can expand the window using the icon in the lower right of the text box, as highlighted here (drag from this icon to expand the box):

For individual notes on list items, the text window will expand as you type; the issue of note display being truncated in edit mode is noted elsewhere in this thread and we are working on this. 

Hope this helps. 

@Col_Needham​ 

Thanks, it's a good solution for now, but (1) we still need a "view mode," and (2) most IMDb users don't know about this solution.

Regarding the descriptions, we want to see the whole text without expanding. Second,  currently, we can only view one full description at a time. Moreover, the expanding didn't stay after we move to other option in the list.

@juanitocito​ Thanks for the problem report.  We have alerted the lists team. 

@plur62​ Thanks for the feedback:

I like how the name of the director and actors can be seen on the lists, it should be the same on Advanced Search

We have passed this feedback reminder to the search team.

@briskt​ The release dates, certificates, running times, and titles in exports are now localised to your country.  It looks like you might be based in Canada as these appear to be the earliest listed release dates for Canada for those titles?  

We are looking at providing controls (or an override) for the export locale. 

Yes, I'm in Canada, and I think you are correct in describing what is happening. But the date that appears in the list should be the earliest listed date for the film, period. Not localized.

@briskt​ Thanks again for the problem report.  We have updated the export on everything other than the ratings list (the same changes are awaiting time for the appropriate software team).  The “Year” column is now always the earliest release year per what you see on the IMDb /title/ pages, irrespective of your location. The exact release date is still localised to correspond to your settings or location.  We feel this is a fair compromise between customers who want localised data and those who do not. 

@denise_6033628​ Please see our List Page FAQ.

Hope this helps. 

@Col_Needham​ Thank you for your answer. Do not like that when looking at the item descriptions they drag off to the right out of view, instead of wrapping around. Where do I find the 3 different viewing types available? Why aren't the editing icons shown below here available in the editing mode of the list items?

@denise_6033628​ The line-wrap for notes in edit mode is a known issue, sorry, and the lists team is working on a fix. 

The three styles in view mode are at the top of the list on the right, as shown here:

Once you select one view, all other lists will open with the same view until you switch the view to another one. 

Why aren't the editing icons shown below here available in the editing mode of the list items?

Please can you explain the issue in more detail and ideally attach a screen-grab to illustrate the problem? 

Hope this helps.

I think it's a suggestion to add text formatting buttons in lists.

@niall_hassett​ Agree, infinite scrolling is the worst possible thing.

@MSebring​ Thanks for the feedback, just on this one:

In Edit mode, the field where you select new movies to be added is at the opposite end of the list from where they are added, making you have to scroll back and forth from top to bottom when you add and position new movies within your list.

Please flip the sort order of the list in edit mode and the new entries will appear at the top directly under the additions form. 

Hope this helps. 

That does work, and I suppose I'll end up having to settle for that.
Another idea I thought of was to add all the movies I want to add
and then positioning them all, instead of adding and positioning
each one before going on to the next one.

@afsr11​ Thanks for the problem report; this was reported earlier in the thread and the team are working on a fix for this.  Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.
