Updates to List Pages

Update Dec 8: Thanks for all the feedback; we're working our way through the issues.

• We have fixed the description display issues (&, +, -, line break issues)

• We've updated List export to include director, release date, and URL. We will add Rating back soon. 

We're currently working on: 

• Bringing back the view counter, re-enabling the ability to export other users' lists, and adding pagination to related lists.

For reference, these are the data fields exported from my "Your Ratings" list. Bolded and underlined fields are not currently exported for a title list.

• position
• const
• created
• modified
• description
• Title
• Title type
• Directors
• You rated
• IMDb Rating
• Runtime (mins)
• Year
• Genres
• Num. Votes
• Release Date (month/day/year)
• URL

It would seem reasonable that exporting a title list would include the same data fields as an export of a ratings page.  

1. missing 4 columns from export lists and checkins: directors, you rated, release date, url; added back dir, rel and url, but not in original sequence; working on adding ratings
2. fixed: missing list of lists 
3. fixed: description display issues (&, +, -, line break issues)
4. description display issues (&, +, -, line break issues) on Image list 
5. view count was removed; now it's back but vast quantity of counts are missing; will it show the "in last 3 days" or similar count?
6. within Edit mode, Select list (to copy or move titles) doesn't include a Create new list option
7. in Edit mode, Add a title doesn't find TV episodes or short films unless the title id is used
8. in Edit mode, Add a title doesn't support using the full url
9. in ATS and when sorting lists, IMDb rating order is no longer accurate: when titles have the same visible average, they are then sorted by popularity instead of further decimal places
10. Related lists to a title is restricted to 100 lists; Col says we'll get full access back in early 2018
11. description user link [link=ur###] gives wrong text and wrong link
12. Edit mode, reordering a title in a list of over 1000 titles gives false feedback on refresh "1,301 - 2 of 2" at bottom of screen, 2 titles at top of screen
13. Edit mode, reordering a title, leaving comma in position number gives NO change in order
14. Edit mode, reordering all titles but one, the unaltered title does not retain its position
15. Edit mode, adding title to last page of list longer than 1000 titles, falsely shows new item's position as 2; Karen replied 'looking into it'
16. RSS watchlist feed reverted to HTML instead of XML.
17. exporting another person's lists is gone; Karen says they're working on it
18. the creation date for a list is gone; Karen says they're working on it
19. text produced for company link is missing (just displays co code) [link=co###]
20. display of non-Latin alphabet in descriptions has failed; now just string of &##; codes
21. starmeter and date of birth gone from people lists
22. people list, edit, add search doesn't find porn cast

• Predictable, deterministic, well-defined reordering behaviour. The >1000 film, "2 of 2 pages" and 2nd position bugs all need fixing.
• At least one way to move an item one position upwards that doesn't require any scrolling. This can be drag and drop or, as bderoes has suggested, a form submit event firing whenever the user presses enter inside a position textbox. The current solution of scrolling down to an item, changing its position number, scrolling all the way back up and then clicking a button to move an item up one place is not good enough.
• Fixed "Export CSV". It should export the same fields as before. And it should actually work. I'm still getting a ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION, which sounds like "this is not a recognised file and HTTP response combination".

• Colour tags returned. These are very useful in complex lists that make extensive use of comments to give additional information about films. I can see absolutely no reason for their removal. I find it perplexing. Sure, as a feature, it's probably used by a fraction of a percent of all list-makers but the people who do use it are overwhelmingly the advanced and popular list-makers most likely to leave for another platform.
• List comments no longer italicised. There are other ways to demarcate text as "user content". All perma-italics does is make our comments look less presentable and preclude the use of italics for emphasis and for the grammatically correct citing of film titles.
• The film search from within list editor mode has been absolutely castrated: far fewer results and no subdivision into "exact", "substring" etc. I want it returned to how it was before.

• How does the new view counter work? Is it now counting all list views from an arbitrary date? If so, when? Is there a rolling window? I'm fine with modifying every list to start counting views from the same date but I want the total to be cumulative rather than rolling. From now on, our view counts should only ever increase.

• Formatting fixes were rolled out quickly and effectively. There's been no damage to my list's contents.
• Comments now feel central to lists (which is exactly what they are on my list). The separated and expanded comment area is the change I never knew I needed. The width is spot-on for readability while making comments feel like less of an afterthought.
• Finally - finally - links work properly in the main list description box.
• The whole UI on both the user and editor side just looks better to me now. There's no debating that the old UI was starting to feel very web 2.0. That's not inherently a bad thing, of course, and some people will prefer it but I rather like the new look.
• I love some of the minor touches like being able to see full comments in editor mode rather than a scrolling textarea.

• The ability to reorder my entire list from a single page (i.e. an option to display all items on one page). I've been promising people that I would reorder my list so that all films in a particular genre would end up on page 3. Given that I have 1300 items in total and the items I need to move are scattered at unknown locations throughout those 1300, finding and moving them all without a one-page view would just be a hellish experience.

1.  is to provide the button/click option, to traverse to next page at the starting/top of the page, because everytime one has to go to the next page, one has to first scroll all the way to the down!    And/Or,
2. provide the option to go/traverse to any page(first, second, third, fourth, etc.), on all of the pages - the way it is on Google Search pages.
