Hi there!

If you are having issues with "IMDb 'My Movies' enhancer", this post will give you a few guidelines about how to report them, so I can fix them ASAP.

  1. How to check if the script is working

Please log in to your IMDb account and then open https://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list . Can you see the script's toolbar?

enter image description here

If you can see it, click [Clear highlight data] and [Refresh highlight data]. Now any IMDb page you open or refresh should work.

If you can't see the the toolbar or if you still can't see any highlighting in any movie page you added to a list or rated, continue reading.

  1. How to report issues with the script

First, clearly describe your issues, with at least the following details:

  • Browser type and version
  • Greasemonkey / Tampermonkey version
  • URLs you have tested and are having issues
  • What are the issues
  • Are you changing the script source code to add custom colors?
  • If you are, does color highlighting works with the original (unmodified) script code?
  • Do you have any other IMDb related scripts or add-ons installed? Did you try disabling them to see if they are causing the issue?

Finally, list any JavaScript errors related to the script. To do this:

  • Open a new browser page or tab
  • Open the Javascript console ([Ctrl]+[Shift]+[J])
  • Load an IMDb page (e.g., https://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list , https://www.imdb.com/chart/top or any other page you're having problems with). If your issue is loading the lists, click the [Clear highlight data] and [Refresh highlight data] buttons.
  • Copy errors and warnings that appear in the JavaScript console and share them with me. Since the list can be quite large, use a service like pastebin (it is free and doesn't require a login) and include the link in your message

Please don't post your issue in this page - go to the issues page and create a new issue. Tip: make a copy of your entire message before submitting, just in case there is a problem sending it the first time.

Also, be sure to check your issue page here in OpenUserJS from time to time to see any replies.
