If I change my rating, have it show the change in stars on my profile immediately
Today, I gave Gifted 3 1/2 stars, but after a bit of thought I changed it to 4 stars. Now, several hours later, I can see the change both in my diary and on the review page itself, but the change doesn't show on my actual profile yet (it still says 3 1/2 stars both on Recent activity and Recent reviews). I've noticed this a lot previously as well, but usually it has fixed itself in not too long of a time. Still, it is something I wish could be fixed.

Watchpanel dissapears beneath footer
I don´t know if this is the right place to point this out but I just found out that the footer goes on top of the watchpanel on a filmpage.

change the text in the Facebook publishing box
every time I post a review from your site using the Facebook icon in the share menu, when I click post it always says "Your review was not published" but the review is always successfully published. It's not a big issue but it's a little disconcerting that it keeps telling me it wasn't published with it was. Perhaps you can change the text to remove the "not" from a successfully published review?

Re-paginate on filtering, instead of page load
The web view seems to re-paginate on page load, instead of when filters are adjusted, which is bad.
If I'm looking at all my 3 star movies, I see 1-72. If I change the rating on 10 of them, and then go to the next page, instead of seeing the 73rd-144th movie of my original list, I now see the 73rd movie after filtering out the movies I updated the rating on. So progressing through the pages will hide movies if you remove movies from the group.
The index/pagination should only be recalculated when the filters are adjusted (or the…

Renaming lists to a previous name creates a redirect loop
Create a new list called "name1".
Rename list to "name2".Viewing name1 now redirects to name2.

Allow dimming (or highlighting) of films on your watchlist
Just like it's great to be able to dim films that you've watched instead of fully excluding them from a list or view, it would be great if we could similarly dim films currently on our watchlist. Alternately, highlight them with a light blue overlay/drop shadow to indicate that.
1 voteWill add in the mix, for consideration.

Higher standard for "Top Rated Films"
I've noticed that finding good films to watch through sorting by highest rating has become difficult lately. A good example would be trying to sort by highest rating and narrowing the search to horror from the 2010s.
You will find that a bunch of the results are youtube videos, and the others only have 100 or so people who have even logged the film as watched.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but shouldn't there be a higher minimum for calling something "Top Rated"? Maybe like <1000 viewed or something like that? I use this site primarily for the ability to search for…
1 voteWe have an issue where non-rated films sit in the middle of our higest-to-lowest sort orders. Our plan is to change this so they are always at the end.

Show the writer/author on title page!!!
A FILM STARTS WITH A SCRIPT
“To make a great film you need three things – the script, the script and the script.” – Alfred Hitchcock
Whilst there are many important jobs in film (producer, cinematographer...), I think that the writer just MUST be up there directly to be seen and not hidden with the other cast and crew.
IMDB and Plex, both display the name of the writer directly below that of the director. For good reason. I find not doing this is grossly negligent!1 vote -
How do I import notes from a previously exported list?
When I export my Letterboxd Lists, the Notes I have entered appear in a field with the DESCRIPTION header. However, there does not seem to be a way to import those Notes into a new Letterboxd List. In other words, there is not a field in the Import Header template that seems to correspond to the DESCRIPTION (or Notes) field. Can you help?
1 voteThe export and import options are not 100% compatible with each other at this time. We do not support notes import. We’ll look at support for this in the future.

Integrate with Filmstruck as their rating and tracking engine!
I love Letterboxd, and I love Filmstruck. Sadly, Filmstruck has no rating system nor way to track what I've watched. How cool would it be if your two organizations partnered up! It would bring visibility to Letterboxd and give Filmstruck a huge missing feature.
Hopefully you're at least having coffee with the Filmstruck folks on occasion. :)

Faster scrolling when dragging a movie up/down a list in desktop mode
Make the scrolling speed faster when you move the cursor to the top of the list, please! I have a list with almost 200 films sorted newest first and it shouldn't be so tedious to drag one to the top.
1 voteHere’s a tip until we can improve this: switch on list rankings, then click the ranking of the film at the end of the list, type a “1” then press Return. The film will shift to the top of the list. Repeat as you need to, then turn off rankings (if required) before saving your list.

A few glitches when it comes to lists
I've encountered two frustrating glitches when it comes to lists. First, with lists of a certain size (~2,500 films or more) I cannot edit them on the desktop browser without the website subsequently deleting every film on the list past ~2,500 (I can't remember the exact number). This problem does not occur when I edit lists on mobile. Secondly, I've found that for these huge lists, it also likes to skip a number. For my ranked list, which has 5,151 films on it, the list will skip 2,920, going straight from 2,919 to 2921. As a result of this, the…
1 voteThe list editing limit on the web is about 3,300 we believe. We’re looking to adopt the same approach as in our app, but it’s not ready yet.
The missing list items is probably due to a film in the list having been deleted from the site (we routinely remove entries that TMDb removes for not being films). Adding and removing a film from said list should fix it, but obviously that’s not possible if you strike the first issue. Noted.

'More' option fails to load/expand.
When I click 'more' it loads out ellipses (...) instead of the bio or review I am attempting to read. This happens whether I am logged in or off. The only time 'more' fully loads out is in the older review sections and not on specific pages.

A watched film should be removed from your watchlist if you log it.
Anyone else notice that if you have a film you have already seen in your watchlist, you log it and it won't deleted from the watchlist like a movie does that you haven't seen before.
I noticed it started doing this a few days ago.Anyway to get it back to normal??

add some features, customization, SOMETHING
I don't get it. I read the whole FAQ page and have no more understanding of this site than I did when I first opened it. The page just rambles without SAYING anything. All I can do is make lists?
How do I share or promote them? There's no forum or community here as far as I can tell or even a page displaying new lists (aside from a scant few buried somewhere around here) Am I supposed to just friend at random? No FB friends are here and never will be. Even searching the unique and specific topic of…1 voteOne of our primary features and points of difference is our diary feature. Members log films as they watch them, building up a list of films they’ve seen and creating a journal/film-watching history spanning (in many cases) several years. We use TMDb’s film data to power this service, but you can’t perform these actions on TMDb. Our paid level is for those members who want extra stats about their film watching, and perhaps less interesting if you only want to use our service to make lists.
I’ll investigate the list search issue you’re having — we’re continually improving in areas like search results accuracy. And I agree, we can do better at list discovery: we’ll be adding more ways to see new lists soon.

Please customise the grid size for ~editing lists..
On the "edit" pg for lists, please make the grid size customizable, or at least 10-across as opposed to the current 7-across, which is not only bigger than necessary, but makes it more take so much longer to drag new additions to the middle (or worse, closer to top) from the very end of a list in the hundreds. I think 15 or 20-across would be interesting too, as they match the display of 5-across so positioning titles could be easier. Actually, if we could just ~type in a position for a title & have it move merely by hitting…
1 voteTill we change this, note that if you enable rankings for your list, you can click a ranking and type a new number, then press Return, and the film will move to that position in the list. You can then disable rankings (if not wanted) before saving. (Helpful for moving items a long way!)

Is there a way to do this? If not, is it possible to delete all my diary and watched films at once and then import just the entries but not the ratings?

Add up the runtimes in lists.
I like to create lists for myself that are marathons. It would be really great if there was a feature for the list to add up the runtimes.
