When you're viewing a title at IMDB, there' s a big yellow button ''add to watchlist''. Is it possible to make that button a shortcut for adding the title to other lists? It would make the adding of titles to my list a lot faster, saving me some time at each title :)

Boveln, This is already implemented on the main page of any title.

For instance, from the main page of The Celebration (1998) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0154420/), you should see a yellow Watchlist button. If you click on the right hand side ("-") of the button you will see drop down menu for all of your title lists. A plus on the left indicates that you can add the title; a check mark indicates that the title is already in the list.

I do not have this button on the title page - it is just not there. I am logged in, I have a list, but this button - Watchlist - does not appear on any of the title pages. Do you know what may be causing this?

This is a 2 year old thread which refers to the old design (see the 2014 dates).  To access other lists now, please move your mouse over the large "+" (add to watchlist) symbol and a menu will appear.

Why doesn't this work for me? I had three personal lists and the dropdown button only showed two of them. So I deleted one of those two to see if the missing list would now appear but it didn't...

You can't add to another list than watchlist in these "tabs".

Hi Rex Irkalla,

To clarify Mr. Needham's post:
When you hold the cursor over the plus sign, you should see all of your title lists in the drop down menu. If the number of titles exceeds six, you should see a slider bar. Since you do not see all of your title lists, then there may be a problem with your user account. It would help if you provide a link to your profile page for IMDb staff to help you.

For reference, this is my user profile page:
http://www.imdb.com/user/ur0127678/

Here is an example from my account:


Note: I am a long time user of IMDb and not a staff member.

There is no + nowhere to be seen, plus for example http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt1194173/maindetails points always to http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt1194173/combined or at least seems that it is always redirected.
As usual this very feature discussed in this thread was a really useful one, so 'clearly' had to be removed.
For some times I have had to add to watchlist and then move from there, but it seems that this maybe not possible anymore the edit button which would give me the possibility to do so, now loops in other 'look also at this movies'... which clearly is not interesting for 'editing' purposes.
