Updates to List Pages

Its terrible. I can't reorder by list by dragging anymore.

Given all the strong feelings about the loss of Compact list functionality for selecting and copy/moving titles to other lists, I'm surprised we have only 4 votes for the Idea linked here:
Add more sortings to list edit-mode

For 5 years now I've been making the list of movies I saw, only to find out today that the list-creating procedure is now quite different, and that you can change the position of the movie on the list only by typing the number of the position you want your movie to be on, not by moving it with click-and-drag. While that change back anytime soon now?

I may be way behind (haven't made a list in a while), but is there a way to drag titles to change the order in a list? Or is it now just altered by the numbers next to each title?

Please revert back to the original setting. I can't edit the list the usual way I could.

Is there anyway we can have a choice like youtube with the old setting. Whether we want it or not. Would be so much easier

I think it's crucial that you restore the URL entering/accepting option while adding any name or title to the list. Many times, you are able to search some obscure name/title on the IMDb main search or advanced search but NOT on the search provided on the List edit page. 

Now, I have read somewhere that you can enter title id in place of URL but this has two problems:-

1. What about names(actors/actresses)?
2. No one will have any idea that this is the case until and unless you mention this explicitly beside the search bar for adding items in the list.

I really like looking through other peoples list to see how many of the titles i've rated. It used to tell me but now it doesn't.

I've created a list that has every title that's ever been in the top 250 which i'm working through and i used to look at it to see how many i've rated but it's not so easy now.

The top 250 still tells you how many you've rated so why not all the other lists? does anyone know whether this is going to be put back?

The rss feed no longer returns rss content, it returns html for a web page.  Not good.

I don't see this on any response list from IMDB, so I'm adding my reply with this issue.

I hope IMDB fix the lists so they minimally have the previous functionality, because this is sad to see a regression.   Everyone wants to make things so they "think" they are prettier but they really have less function and usability and IMDB have done the same.   ASK the users BEFORE making changes.

I don't even know where to start. So, let me get this straight, first you removed the forum feature, pretty much stabbing your entire community in the back and shooting yourselves in the foot, and now you've literally just removed the only other two things I use your effing site for? I come here to create lists and look at how TV episodes are rated and ranked among each other through the Episode List feature for each TV show, and now they're both gone. The list feature doesn't work at all for me now. I use an iPad. The mobile site doesn't have profiles, and the app doesn't allow you to edit lists, so they're both shoddy, and I use the desktop site. Now, when I just tried to edit a few lists, I added films and couldn't put them in an order. I typed in the number where I wanted the item to go, and it didn't go there. You've screwed it up. You've screwed up the two reasons I use your site in one update. It's upsetting that my favourite site is so insistent on screwing themselves over. Upsetting and infuriating.

I'm actually starting to look forward to the day the main guys in charge are crying on their sofas with a big bottle of vodka, wondering why they chose to screw over their fans for no reason at all, not listening to feedback. What you're doing to this site is suicidal and ridiculously stupid. Sort these huge bugs out and add back the features you just removed. Sort yourselves out.

I cant access my lists or my watchlist from my front page anymore, since you delete lists with characters, this started to happening.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Why can't i edit the movies in my lists?.

Why can't i edit the movies in my list ? For example: i have a list of movies that i want to watch and if i watched one of the titles in that list I'd add a seen on it and in color also "green", but i cannot add anything now for some reason? I click edit and now it's just says: "add a note" and when i do and press done there is still nothing there!? :( and i had nearly 100,000 views on my list and it's changed to 19,000?? Could someone please let me know whats going on? Thank you in advance.

THEY ACTUALLY RETURNED THE VIEW COUNTS AS BEFORE

ABSOLUTE MADMEN

Thanks for listening and doing something, IMDb staff.

Okay, I can also now move item 1312 to position 1320 of a 1323 item list without any bugs. Huge improvement. Thanks.

Export with commas in list titles still doesn't work. It used to work so there's no reason it can't work again. This is just some string parsing problem on your end. I'm not going to rename my list just to export it as CSV.

The biggest thing that needs fixing is reordering. Any system that requires you to scroll the entire length of the page multiple times to move one item one place is fundamentally broken.

Thanks for the work so far. You've done enough to keep me from fleeing IMDb immediately. Will check out the Android app. If it can do auto-load scrolling (such that I can load every film at once), I'll be utterly placated.

Edit: Okay, I appreciate the effort but there's no escaping the fact that the Android app is sub-par. I don't understand how you would allow the iOS app to get so far ahead of the Android app given their respective market share. Aim for feature parity ASAP. From what Col Needham told me, the iOS app is the single best way to rearrange a >1000 item list but I have no access to iOS.

I might do a bit of a mad one and beg around to see if anyone I know has an iPad I can borrow for a few days.

I can't add short films to my lists anymore. Only movies. Shorts are movies too.
