The Movie Database Support

...you can't do that. It's strange that you can import your ratings from IMDB but not your lists concerning films.

It's already on Trello's To-Do list.

I didn't see a vote feature. Do you mean make a reply to the thread to support the feature? I'm not sure what Trello is either. If you want to vote there is that another account that you need to create in order to do that?

My lists on IMDB have comments of mine for each entry. I'm guessing that if I could import my IMDB lists here then none of that would transfer, only the film items themselves, which would be disappointing.

I believe you need to have your Trello account to vote on the items.
Trello is a kind of To-Do List for projects.

I don't know how it will be implemented.

Our lists have a comments feature so it would be easy enough to make sure they get added to each entry, matching the CSV file.

Are you able to send me a copy of the CSV so I can see it? You can send it to travis [at] themoviedb.org.

Thanks!

Actually, I couldn't import a list from IMDB here. Here's my attempt to start it but I couldn't find an option to import data:

What am I doing wrong?

As @ticao2 mentioned above point_up_tone2, we don't support importing custom lists yet. We only support importing to your account ratings/favourites and watchlist.

Since my lists on IMDB often have my comments in items, it sounds like I shouldn't import my lists here until that feature is implemented here, otherwise I'm guessing that I'd have to delete my lists and resubmit them once this site can import user comments for items in their list.

I had another thread here where somebody supported an observation that I had about how your website functions and they called out to you but they didn't @ you, so I thought that I would just link to the thread to bring your attention to it. It's the last comment in my thread here:

Just so I know for future, when writing comments per list items, it sometimes gives an error, probably because the length is to long. How many characters are ok for those fileds. Thanks in advance
