UPDATE: Archives, Pages, & more

I’m excited to announce MovieChat’s latest update which includes:

1. Virtually complete Movie and TV Show archives - thanks to the archive data that has been made public, our archives for movies and tv shows are now virtually complete. It was a complex task to integrate these archives with our existing posts here, and took longer than expected, but having the full archives alongside our existing content is well worth it. All existing MovieChat posts should have been preserved, but if you notice anything missing just let me know. (I backed up the entire site before the integration, so nothing is lost.)

2. No more endless scrolling - pagination has now been added!

3. Post Count - your post count now appears beside your username whenever you post

4. Easily identify the original poster (OP) in a thread - the OP’s username is now bolded

There are a few more minor changes that you’ll see as you’re browsing the site (kudos to whoever can first spot them). Apologies for the downtime today, but it was necessary to get the updates up and running. And as always, with major updates there is the chance that a few bugs slipped through. If you notice anything weird, just let me know. More updates on the way!

I saw a couple people with suggestions here so I have one you might want to think about. I see many people are confused on how to post clickable links. Wonder if you could make it easier?

Minor glitch: You translate imdb [ link=tt# ] from imdb.com to moviechat.org. That doesn't work for missing titles, like TV episodes. I assume you did title and names, but not users and characters?

Example at end of thread: https://moviechat.org/movies/tt1486217/posts/58c851e5b591530ffd6b0cd0

Really appreciate all the work. I do think I'll stay here.

Still could use a meta forum though.

The public archive is missing titles. ST:Discovery had over a hundred threads, only 2 here: https://moviechat.org/movies/tt5171438
