Timestamps on goofs/quotes/trivia

There is a website called Movie Mistakes which is exactly that: Mistakes in movies, but it also has quotes & trivia. One option that's on there I think would be a really good idea here, as well: Timestamps. It's an optional field in for format HH:MM:SS.

Actual job titles should appear below our names, not arbitrary department headings

There's no reason why we can't have our actual titles up under our names, especially when we're paying. Department names are vague and often arbitrary. My primary job title has been categorized under "Camera and Electrical Department". That's not very accurate and that's a very wide category.

News Suggestion: Opa Peter, erzähl doch mal ...

It is possible to submit an edit to change the title type of an episode in the way I mention here. I know about this functionality because there was an announcement about it once, but it is not mentioned anywhere in any help features. It would be helpful to add information in the Episode Title/Nu

I'd like to see my stats

I probably should not be suggesting this because they might implement it and then it would reinforce people's social media addiction, which is a bad enough problem already. The whole evil dopamine cycle you know. Fishing for the likes. But I would really like to be able to see the "ratings" of my

Why we need to put mainstream Hollywood and foreign film IMDB pages on lockdown.
