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!

WONDERFUL news! Thanks again, Jim!

I dig the ticket.

[–] hbenthow (83) 8 years ago

I agree. A while back, I suggested a movie camera or projector for the site's logo, but the ticket is a much better idea. It's such a perfect choice that I don't know why I didn't think of it.

Thanks Jim! Great work, much appreciated. :)

Thank you Jim!

Does this mean Jim is back? I love seeing new updates to this site. I noticed the cool new logo and some color changes of the clickable buttons.

[–] [email protected] (5871) 8 years ago

The site keeps getting better and better. Thanks Jim. Two thumbs up!

Some of the boards with IMDb titles disappeared too. I wonder if IMDb complained about the similar logo and stuff.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 8 years ago

Maybe for the logo and colors. The IMDb-related boards though, were just silly and obviously not needed here.

[–] Prelude (1443) 8 years ago

Thanks for everything you're doing here Jim; it's amazing to have the IMDb board content here.

How do i merge my old posts from imdb into here? i see my username on the site but can't click on my username on the old posts? how do i fix it?

[–] LeiaOfLothlorien (1980) 8 years ago

You can't merge your IMDb account with MovieChat. You can still post, of course, but your IMDb posts won't be connected to your MovieChat ones. The archived posts should all be here by now, I think.

[–] [deleted] 8 years ago

ok but i want all my old posts that are on here to be under the Posts section and Replies section, if that makes sense.. :)
