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!

Great updates, this site is getting really good. I hope that they will add the top-rated episodes feature for tv shows that was on IMDB, that would make this site close to perfect.

Amazing!! Thank you, Jim!

There's also a 'back to top' feature at the end of threads...I'm not sure that was there before...

Great work jim. Thanks you for everything. 👏👏👏

[Edit] - there's a little cool effect when you post. Your own post is highlighted for a while and then dims. That's awesome. IMDB didn't even do that (actually, most message boards don't even do that!)

jim will be up for 2018 Best Special Effects for a major message board 😁

As always, thank you Jim for all your hard work. We're all grateful!

Jim,

I'm using an iPad. The problem I'm having is the shrinking (width wise) typing area during a long thread. I had to cease replying to a recent thread due to only being able to type one or two words per line. Solutions, please.

Edit: I forgot to thank you for your diligent work on this site!

Great job! I see quotes in old posts now. This must be one of minor changes you mentioned. 👍

And when you click on "jump to latest" it's highlighted in yellow for a second.
