Front Page Redesign

The homepage is being completely re-designed in a month or two. It's all new and completely different.

Message Editing Tools and Preview

posted by Travis Bell MOD on Feb, 27 2017 at 12:03PM

If you create, reply or edit a discussion or comment, you will now see a toolbar that should help use some of the rich text tools. Better yet, it's got a preview button so you can check to see what it will look like before hitting submit. 👍

Link to Last Reply

This has been added. It won't work until a new comment ends up on a discussion but you'll see them slowly roll in as people reply to posts.

Profanity Filter

posted by Travis Bell MOD on Feb, 23 2017 at 8:34AM

Ok, first off before anyone gets upset about this... if that's how you feel, stop reading this and go right now to your account page click "Details" and change the filter setting to "No". Easy, done! 😬

Now, for the details of why this was implemented. Yes, you can find me saying I would never make this the default and clearly I'm going back on my word. The main issue is that people of all ages use TMDb (not just the discussion boards) and the more I thought about it the more I didn't like that someone could stumble into a discussion with a bunch of f-bombs being dropped.

I don't see this being a big deal as I've provided an easy out for those of you who want to see all the words in all their glory. Sound reasonable?

Blocking/Ignoring Users

posted by Travis Bell on Feb, 21 2017 at 07:05PM

You can ignore users. Just click the grey "ignore" link on each discussion/reply. Their posts will completely disappear from the discussion lists and comments of a discussion.

Keyboard Shortcuts

posted by Travis Bell on Feb, 21 2017 at 12:21PM

There's only 4 right now, but they can be helpful for those on a computer.
n: Creates a new discussion
r: Replies to a discussion (when you're on one)
l: Jumps to the last post (when you're viewing a discussion)
ctrl+return: Submits a message when you're composing one (new discussion, replying to one)
Are there any others that might make sense?

"Liking" Discussions and Comments

posted by Travis Bell on Feb, 21 2017 at 12:19PM

A popular request, so it's been added. Feels a bit more organic now I think. Saves people from just doing a +1 or if that's all they have to say.

Push Notifications and Notification Centre

posted by Travis Bell MOD on Feb, 15 2017 at 3:17PM

Fresh off the press is a push notification and notification centre. You'll see a "bell" icon sitting next to your username for this. Notifications update automatically so you don't even need to refresh the page. If a new notification comes in, BING (there's no sound, that's just me), it appears.

One cool thing is that by using these notifications (by clicking the links to go to the item that is notifying, ie. a discussion), only the first reply is thrown into view which means you automatically get a "jump to newest" thread functionality. Pretty cool, right?

Custom Avatars

posted by Travis Bell MOD on Feb, 14 2017 at 11:24AM

You can now upload your own avatar. It is recommended you upload as close to a square as possible as we will just crop it if it's not.

Quoting Replies

posted by Travis Bell on Feb, 13 2017 at 03:11PM

You can now click the little quote icon on each discussion or comment to quote and reply. This should make it a little (ok a lot) easier to reply to certain people or comments you want to address.

Account Notifications

posted by Travis Bell on Feb, 12 2017 at 09:05AM

I realized I pushed this and really only mentioned it on a few threads so, let me formally mention it. If you go to your account page and click the "notifications" link in the left hand sidebar you can change the default notifications. The point here was to split up being able to "watch" a discussion and get sent emails about it. These settings in your account page are the default settings. You can override them by watching or subscribing to individual threads if you want.

Emojis

posted by Travis Bell on Feb, 11 2017 at 08:33PM

I thought I'd add a little personality to this place.
You can activate the emoji chooser/search by using the : character.

New Discussion Boards Added

posted by Travis Bell on Feb, 06 2017

IMDb members made requests to have Discussion Boards added to each individual Movie and TV show page, due to the coming closure of IMDb Boards on February 20, 2017.
This is the thread that started it all.
As you read the thread please remember that MANY of the things discussed early on changed. It is quite lengthy, with hundreds of posts, but gives you an idea of what it took to make this happen.

What is the difference between closed threads and private threads?

Reply by Marr 🇳🇱 MOD on Mar, 31 2017 at 1:35AM
Closed threads can be opened again by everyone indeed. It's an easy way to mark problems / questions as solved. Private means only the topic starter, Mods, and people already in the discussion (clicking Watch or replying and not unwatching) can see it. Even people with the url who didnt reply cant see it.
