Solved

My list appears as Private even when it's set to Public

My list appears as Private even when it's set to Public.

Here's the link: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4173512330/

Can an IMDb employee fix this for me? :)

Thanks in advance,

Hi BirgerTales,

Your list is in breach of IMDb's List guidelines/policies. This could result in your list appearing public within your account settings when it has been set to private for not adhering to IMDb's policies. For more information, please see our Lists FAQ

Thanks!

@Ozzy​ Okay, that is unfortunate! Can you see on your end what part has been breached? I'm a bit unsure myself, which is why I'm asking. :)

UPDATE: I've tried changing the list description, in case that was the problem, but the list still remains Private to others.

So I'd really appreciate it if you could have another look, thanks. :)

Hi @BirgerTales​,

Your list has been made private because it contained an external URL, please remove the URL by editing your list. Please let us know once you’ve done this, and we can re-publish your list to IMDb.com.

@Martymccflyy​ OK, I see! I've removed the URL now, so you can go ahead with re-publishing the list, thanks. :) 

I didn't think ending with "(dot)com" would be a problem, since that doesn't create a clickable link (I also didn't start the URL with "www").

But doing so isn't allowed on IMDb either?

Hi @BirgerTales​,

Your list have been restored and all should be back to normal.

@Martymccflyy​ Hi again and thanks! :) I fiddled a bit with the description some more and it got set to Private again (for some reason it appears very sensitive now), so could you restore my list one more time? Thanks in advance! Here's the list-link again, for convenience's sake: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4173512330/
