Problem with watchlist icon when empty

Question

For the past few days, the watchlist icon on the title pages has been loading indefinitely when my list is empty. I have tested on various browsers, deleted cookies, local storage, and disabled extensions. The problem only occurs when I am logged in with my account.I have checked that when you add a single title to the watchlist, the icon stops loading and works properly again. In addition, the browser’s Performance panel displays an 87 ms display delay in the div ipc-watchlist-ribbon__icon, and the LCP metric shows a good value (2.25 s) only when there is at least one title in the list. When empty, the LCP is delayed or red.There seems to be an error in how IMDb manages empty watchlists, at least on my account. Could you check it?Thank you for your attention.

@Col_Needham, This has spread to the entire site, to all titles, the Add to watchlist button doesn't work. It takes forever to load. On Chrome Android. Can anyone else confirm?Note: This comment was created from a merged conversationLink : https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/watchlist-issue/6896bba0565b945398f9712cTitle : Watchlist issue

I have been experiencing a similar problem for a while on a PC using either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.Anywhere there is a Watchlist flag in the upper left corner of a movie photo, the loading icon spins forever and the plus sign never shows up.Clearing my cache did not resolve the problem.Note: This comment was created from a merged conversationLink : https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/problem-with-watchlist-icon-when-empty/6897b1280b407f56d0e23abcTitle : Problem with watchlist icon when empty

I figured out that the problem only occurs if (a) you are logged on to IMDb, and (b) your Watchlist does not contain any entries. This indicates that the loading icon appears while it is checking each movie to see if it is already in your Watchlist (to determine whether to use a plus sign or a check mark), and it spins forever because of a bug that causes it to be unable to handle an empty Watchlist.Note: This comment was created from a merged conversationLink : https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/problem-with-watchlist-icon-when-empty/6897b18647a722399348e7aaTitle : Problem with watchlist icon when empty

for a while now on the website, the watchlist has a forever spinnig animation on the ribbon icon on the posters instead of the yellow ribbon. More troublesome is that i can't sort the list by anything other than default 'list order'. The mobile app works just fine and m.imdb also works. Actually 'add to watchlist' doesnt work from anywhere, just pops up a 'failed to update watchilist,please try again' in red.Note: This comment was created from a merged conversationLink : https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/watchlist-not-working-properly/6893be7983e1511511e4eb60Title : Watchlist not working properly
