Order of attributes can cause odd display
If a credit contains multiple attributes, the order the attributes are entered can affect how they display on the site. This is the only time I recall seeing this issue once and I already fixed it, so I can't link to a current example, but I can explain it... A writer had a writing attribute and ano

The policy regarding profile pictures
I'm aware of IMDB's policy concerning profile pictures, requiring the person in question to have an IMDBPro account in order to have pictures associated with his or her account. While I completely understand the financial reasoning behind this policy, I can't help but feeling it has a couple of disa

Cast (character) photos
It can be very difficult to identify who played a particular part when the photo listed in the casting is of a different age, or if they have changed their hair style significantly. It would be very helpful if the cast list also included a photo as they appeared in the piece, perhaps taken from a sc

Can you NOT post spoilers on the main page, please?
Expect Purple Hair, More Phasma in 'The Last Jedi' Come on...that's a spoiler about the return of a character who was presumed dead in the last movie. Why is it in the title of an article on the main page of this site? Please, do better.

Nudity in images
So IMDb's policy with images is to not allow anything with nudity, especially with female nipples. Well some titles simply are abundant in nudity and so to add these and help with censorship, how about (with such images), blurring them with a warning and when you click it shows the full image.

Adding "Foreign" as a genre for movies
I love this site and use it multiple times a day. One of my favorite features is looking over my ratings, it is an efficient way to keep track of all the movies I've seen (610 and growing rapidly). I also like to narrow them by the genres that IMDb provides, it's always neat to see how I rate them.

Spoiler in Cast List for TV Series
When I look at the Cast List of a TV Serie, I see spoiler. Because the list has the information of how many episodes the actor took place. For example: Claire Danes... Carrie Mathison (36 episodes, 2011-2013) I understand that she is still alive. Jamey Sheridan... Vice President William Walden (17 e

contains plot spoilers
Is it possible to create a setting were the box "may contain plot spoilers" is automatically checked? I always check the box because my definition of a spoiler is different from someone else. I don't want to be permanently banned because I forgot to check a stupid box.
