I have no `check in button`, I've tried everything suggested in online forums, signed in, signed out. Joined it to face book, UN joined, cleared the app, given permission, Checked and unchecked boxes. Re joined... your name it, I've tried it, and still my check in box had completely disappeared. Any ideas???

Hi Spankee Spangler -

When accessing a title page on IMDb, you will not immediately see the 'Check-in' button displayed, however, you should see a yellow "+ Watchlist" button; clicking on the down arrow will reveal a drop-down menu where you should see '+ check-ins' displayed, for example:



Can you go to the IMDb page for "Rio 2" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2357291/) and try again?

Hi Michelle, I clicked the link on my laptop (after signing in) and the watchlist button wasn't there (I've tried to do a screenshot!), I also tried on my phone (which is a Samsung Note 2) and nope, not there either.
It wouldn't matter but I help run the 80spicturehouse, so do need to use IMDB to let people see I actually watch the films I talk about!! 
I've looked up online how to fix it and tried everything, scrapped everything and rejoined, NOTHING works! on my phone or laptop. I just can't check in films!

I suspect that you may be accessing the reference view (old title/name page layout) , which would explain why you are not seeing the 'Watchlist" button.

Can you check your site settings here: https://secure.imdb.com/register-imdb/siteprefs , you will need to look under the "General" section to see whther you have the reference view check-marked.



If the box beside "Show reference view" is check-marked, please un-check that box and click 'Update', and then check a title page to see the Watchlist button.

Hi Michelle, thank you again for your help!  I followed the link and all those boxes were Unchecked already, so I checked them all, updated, the site changed, went back, unchecked them all, the site changed back and.... still no check in box either on my phone or on the page. However.... There is now a watch list button on the webpage (but it doesn't appear on my phone).

Michelle,
As an experiment I decided to attempt to locate this on my IPad, via Browser, not App. I unchecked reference view and updated. There is no drop down menu next to my watch list button. This is a screenshot:
