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!

Jim trending problem

It's simple. Ban bad words from entering trending

Bad word filter in the trending. No adult themed titles will come on it. It is that simple.

@jim

can you allow us to have more threads per page? 30 threads is too little

[–] HollyGoLightly2013 (331) 8 years ago

Great job Jim! Thanks for working so hard on this!

[–] dt123 (704) 8 years ago

It would be nice if there were a major category for MC update and info posts rather than buried in General Discussions. Took me a while to find this one.

You could have a thread w request for missing titkes, especially post-imdb archives Shows like Trial & Error (which is great btw!)

Thanks for listening, Jim! Loving it.

Good point DT123! I guess we'll just have to keep bumping this thread back up.

These are some ideas that I'd like to see added...

I'd like to option to be able to see 100 threads per page & 100 posts per page (instead of 25).

I'd like to have the ability to do markup and spoilers.

I'd like to see a fix when the posts get bunched up all the way to the right (I'm not sure how IMDb dealt with this but their posts didn't look anywhere near as bad).

I'd like to be able to send Private Messages.

I'd like to have all of my old IMDb-posts linked to my account so I can find them in my posting history.

I'd like to see the 'Ignore' feature become a 'Block' (so that it goes both ways), and the ability to 'Un-block" someone if I change my mind.

But yeah, Jim has done an amazing job with this site so far in the short time that it's been up, and I'm sure that it'll just keep getting better!

Jim, I did discover that I could click on your name to see all your official Movie Chat threads..which I bookmarked to get to easier.

Kudo's Jim for this fantastic board.

Is there a way to have a favorite list?
