List Numbering Bug

Unfortunately I was affected by the list numbering bug. I am aware this is a long standing problem that is unlikely to ever be eliminated. However, could you please fix the following list:

Thank you.

Hi @norolim,

Thank you for your problem report.

For context on this issue:

Unfortunately this is a long-standing bug in the lists system which especially affects large lists.  The lists system is now over 13 years old and is some of the oldest remaining software on IMDb. We are actively working upon its replacement as part of the on-going design and technology migration, which will address the issues.

In the meantime, I have filed a ticket (ref. #D100900746) with the appropriate team to investigate your list and issue a fix. I will provide any updates as and when I receive them on this thread.

I hope this helps!

Thank you. Is it likely, that the problem will reoccur, if I try to change the order of the items in the list again?

Hello @norolim​, 

Unfortunately this is a long-standing bug in the lists system which especially affects large lists.  The lists system is now over 13 years old and is some of the oldest remaining software on IMDb. We are actively working upon its replacement as part of the on-going design and technology migration, which will address the issues.

 

In the meantime, as we recently wrote here:

 

If you have access to the IMDb iOS app via an iPhone or iPad, this is best way to manage lists on IMDb.  I have hundreds of lists, both private and public, which I manage via our app. 

 

The web interface will improve once it moves to the new technology, but right now the iOS app is the gold standard list implementation

 

Hope this helps and sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.
