In Progress

IMDB ''User review'' link is not clickable

Guys, seems that there is a problem on the website. All of a sudden there is no hyperlink for the ''User reviews'', can this be fixed? I have tested this with Vivaldi and Firefox on Windows 10. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28419896 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13799782

Hi Navin2000, Thank you for reporting this. I believe I can replicate what you're experiencing, whereby hovering over the "User reviews" header on a title page underneath the "Top cast" header doesn't indicate a hyperlink you can click through. However, I can still click the "User reviews" header text and it takes me to the related sub-page. Can you confirm this behavior on your end as well? Regardless, I will flag this to the appropriate team for review. Thanks!

Hi, Yes, I forgot to post that it's indeed clickable eventhough there is no visible hyperlink. But the problem is that you can't open it in a background tab via mouse middle click. So it should be fixed anyway, thanks!

Hi, And I just noticed another thing, you also can't middle click on the rating numbers anymore, so let's say you only want to read the ''6 stars out of 10'' ratings, you can't open it in background tabs anymore, this should be fixed too.

@ Ozzy It seems that the hyperlinks are back, but you can't actually open these links in background tabs via mouse middle click, can you report this? Because perhaps they already think it's fixed.

@Ozzy ''Regardless, I will flag this to the appropriate team for review.'' When will this be fixed? It's very annoying that I can't open reviews in the background.

Hi Navin2000 - This issue should now be resolved. Though let us know if you encounter any further issues!

Hi Michelle, That's what I'm trying to explain, it's actually NOT resolved. You still can't open those reviews in the background (via mouse middle click). So you can't open the featured reviews, you can't open the rated reviews, and you can't open the user reviews, because the links don't respond to mouse middle click. Can this be made clear to the webdevelopers? Also, is it possible to give an option to get rid of the ''back to top'' button, it's so annoying. Thanks in advance!

Middle click on "User reviews" also does nothing for me. It's quite annoying as I'd like to open the page in another tab, and not be forced to leave the main page of the movie.

@ dengesai Yes exactly, and I wonder why nobody is responding to this topic?

@ Maya When will this be fixed? It's extremely annoying at the moment. This should be quite easy to fix, hopefully it won't take months. I'm also still waiting for the ability to see only 100 or 200 titles per page (instead of 250), when it comes to favorite lists.

@Navin2000 In the meantime there is a workaround -- you can use the "All topics" menu in the upper right corner of the title page; the links there can all be opened in a new tab.

Come on guys, this should be easy to fix, it has been almost 2 months now? Just make those links open in the background via mouse middle click, this isn't rocket science right? No offence of course, but it's a bit silly this whole situation.

Hello Navin2000,

Thank you for reporting this. I'm able to reproduce the issue of the "User reviews" no opening on a different tab when clicking on it with the scroll wheel.

Please provide us with the following information so we can investigate further:

• Device model:• Browser (example: Firefox):• Browser Version• Are you using your Mobile or Desktop?• Screenshot/video of the error• Do you have an ad blocker enabled?:
