IMDbPro Connections and Endorsements are here

Hi @Kristin​,

Thanks for your reply.

Connections and Endorsements are only visible on IMDbPro Name pages.

In regards to function/visibility for different IMDbPro subscribers, all members can receive connection requests. IMDbPro Basic members can send connection requests to professionals they share credits with. IMDbPro Premium members can send connection requests to any eligible IMDbPro member, whether or not they share credits.

You can find more information in our guide. 

I hope this helps!

@Ozzy​ 

Maybe the difference between Premium and Basic should be listed in this table also?

Hi @twistachoo

Thanks for your reply. All data in the old Connections tab is still preserved. Under someone's Connections tab, you will see others you share credits with under the "People you may know" section on the page which is the same list of people as before. This is listed separately from the "Mutual Connections" section to distinguish who you've actively connected to and who you have credits in common but not have connected yet. 

Please let us know if you have any additional feedback!

@darylhrdlicka​ Please the main announcement post at the top of this thread and the reply from wolverine15 immediately above at https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbprocom/imdbpro-connections-and-endorsements-are-here/6acfa71749af2ebd133ea0c9?commentId=6ad0903949af2ebd134eef02&replyId=6ad10cc549af2ebd13570928 

If this does not explain the problem, please provide more details, ideally with 2 or 3 example links so we can investigate.  

Hope this helps

@Col_Needham​ Thank you. I searched for "Connections" and didn't see a thread, so I started a new one.

@darylhrdlicka​ No problem; does that explain everything or are there still issues with the connections feature? 

@Col_Needham​ It explains it, but it's not something I really like.  C'est la vie.

@darylhrdlicka​ As explained by wolverine15, nothing has supposed to have been removed so do you have examples of what is missing?

@Col_Needham​ I went to the page of a person I've worked with. Clicking on actors from some of his movies (pro accounts), about half will show that we have him in common, while the other half comes up with "No shared connections information available." It seems to be random.

@darylhrdlicka​  Thanks -- this does sound like a bug.  Please could provide an example link or two of names which work and the same for names which do not work?  [ideally provide IMDbPro links for those name pages] 

I've worked with Jeff Hamm, and his page shows our shared titles.
https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm8160826/?q=jeff%2520hamm&ref_=hm_instant_nme_1

If I click on his movie Pickleball (which I was not in) and click on Keven P. Farley (https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm0267659/?ref_=ttovr_cst_t_2), it doesn't show Jeff as a connection, but does show a composer we have in common,  Erick Schroder (https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm3400001/?ref_=nmcnct_other_nmconn_1). If I go back to Pickleball and click on Laynee Busse (https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm2151282/?ref_=ttovr_cst_t_5), it says we have no connection.

This happens on Firefox and Chrome.  It also only shows me the projects I've done with the person (the 5 titles with Erick Schroder) but not the two titles Erick has done with Kevin P. Farley

@darylhrdlicka​ Thanks; we have passed this along to the appropriate team. 

@Col_Needham​ I'm still having issues with other accounts, where the "No shared connections information available." is showing up. I've been in a movie with Tony Todd (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0865302/) and it confirms the shared title.  But he was in "The Crow" with Brandon Lee (https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm0000488/connections/?ref_=nmovr) which is still giving me the No Shared Message. I'm running across it more often than not.  In addition, it's still not showing me the movies my connection has in common with the other person (from my earlier example, it now shows that I have 2 people in common with Laynee Busse, but only shows me the movies I've been in with those two people, not the movies my connections have done with her)

@darylhrdlicka​ The team are still working on this issue, sorry.  The good news is that a solution has been built and is being reviewed so it should not be too long now.  

@DTMLA​ thank you for your report. Can you let us know if you are seeing the issue on the desktop browser or on the IMDbPro app?

@wolverine15​ It was on my desktop.  When I tried the app, it was working fine for a while, but now it's giving the same error.

@wolverine15​ In my case it is an issue on both. 

I do see that if I click somebody I have worked with on a project before and we share credits for a title that there is no "mutual connections" link even though we would share several people, but when I click on "connections" tab on their page It does show me one person we shared a credit with, tho not others. 

Thank you for the additional information and patience on the issue. We are working on a fix for displaying the project collaborators in the connections tab and will provide updates. We are also working on a fix for the incorrect data display for number of mutual connections in the hero section - for app specific fixes, these will be included as part of our next app release.
