Good point, ndg.
@Marijn:
It seems that some movies donât have a page on the beta. Look at this list and click on the film on #9:
https://beta.icheckmovies.com/lists/15563-edinburgh+international+film+festival+2014
This leads to an error-page, although the movie does exist on the live version:
This is just an example. More movies like this have been found before. If you know whatâs wrong, I can collect the others.
Yes I do and I just fixed it
Seems like the fix fixed the others as well, so thanks!
I cheered to soon. You didnât a general problem but just for one or two. Here is another one without a betapage:
I did fix a general problem, but there was another general problem
Anyway, itâs fixed again
I am sure someone mentioned it somewhere, but hereâs my problem:
in the âbetaâ view I cannot find the link to the source of a list. I mean the âsourceâ link that in the classic view is at the very bottom of a list.
If itâs there and I just didnât find it, I guess it needs more prominence.
I think Marijn hasnât added it to the list page yet.
For official lists we added a source-link to the description, so you can find it at the top of the page.
Exactly, will be added soon
The Beta is getting better all the time, thanks for that.
A problem that persists is the missing icons for some lists. In the mobile version this sometimes leads to the text of tags being visible in weird manners, making the list page very difficult use because some places are not readable or clickable.
A simple solution would be to use some generic placeholder icon instead of no icon at all.
On user pages for vNext, it would be nice if the total official checks was displayed like total checks currently is. The only way to know ones total official checks is by finding the user on the rankings, but this isnât an option for users who choose not to make their checks public.
For those users, one needs to page through all movies checked sorted by # of official lists on v2 site, find the page with the last official check, take that page number then subtract 1, multiply the result by 25, then count the number of official checks on that (last) page (of official checks) and add the result. Quite a bit of work.
So for me ((372 - 1) * 25) + 9 = 9284 official checks
Or am I missing something simpler somewhere?
Likewise, displaying the total official checks for the site somewhere would be useful, or if a user page said
Total Official Checks: 9284/16315
I used a similar method to that in my prior post to calculate total official checks on the site. Also, displaying these numbers on the site would be helpful since the total number for both a userâs checks and total official checks on the site changes day by day (and itâs annoying for users to have to calculate either number).
Donât know if anyone asked before but a Dark mode perhaps?
One issue that affects the functionality of the beta: On my phone, I canât actually check a movie from the movieâs info page. The âcheckâ symbol is visible, but itâs not clickable. Maybe itâs because the symbol bar is partly covered by the âInfoâ bar.
My workaround is to switch to the âIn listsâ or the âCommentsâ tab of the movie, then I can actually check it.
Here is a screenshot to illustrate what I mean with âpartly coveredâ.
Thanks for reporting this @thyron
@Marijn I can confirm this. Just tested it out, and when I try to check a film in beta on mobile (it works fine on web), the INFO bar is indeed covering part of the Check symbol, so trying to check the film just clicks on the link to the INFO page (which essentially refreshes the page). Seems like itâs something that can be fixed in the coding for mobile.
I just tried it on a different page, however, and it seems to work (though it makes me log in again even though Iâm already logged in). I think it has to do with how long the title is.
For example, it works for Acasa, My Home (2020) - iCheckMovies.com
but doesnât work for Azghyin ushtykzyn'azaby (1993) - iCheckMovies.com or Gloomy Sunday - Ein Lied von Liebe und Tod (1999) - iCheckMovies.com. For the last one, the ellipsis, five bars, watchlist, and check buttons are all completely hidden by the info section, so itâs not just the check function that is unusable, but all the action buttons.
Let me know if that explains the issue enough, or if you need me to elaborate.
Yes, I am aware of this issue. Thanks for reporting
In the âYearâ pull-down menu to filter lists of movies, the current decade (2020s) is missing. We only have the choice between the decades up to the 2010s and âupcomingâ.
The functionality is there, because if I write manually âyear:2020sâ into the filter bar, it works. Itâs just missing from the pull-down menu.
The example picture is from the IMDb Top 250 list.
Please just abandon this âupdateâ. Itâs been underway for around half the time this site has even existed and thereâs no end in sight. Just work on the old site, the design is fine anyway.
Not sure if this website is still being updated, but I have a suggestion. I might be blind so I donât know if this is already a feature, but adding a âtotal hours watchedâ function would be really cool. Itâd be sick to know how many hours Iâve compiled watching all these movies. The runtime for each movie is already in the summary for each movie, so I wouldnât think this would be a super hard thing to integrate. But Iâm no website designer.
Big fan of the site, but is the new site ever going to be released? Is there a date yet?
