This feature can briefly disappear (along with access you your lists) but will return.

Ah. Can you access your lists (through Community >> Your lists)?

I find the temporary outages of the DDM on the Watchlist are usually caused by the lists not being accessible and it fixes itself relatively quickly.

One quick thought - have you left the mouse over the arrow for a good 10 count? I sometimes find it can be a little slow in appearing recently and I move the mouse off before it appears. I can't imagine it is this, but I thought it'd be worth making sure it isn't something simple.

If you can access the lists then there is another problem and it might be a problem with your browser (as no one else seems to be reporting such a long time without it). Quick checks:

1. Do a hard refresh CTRL + F5.

2. Try logging out, shutting the browser down and for good measure restarting your computer.

3. Try a different browser - I'd suggest Chrome as it seems more standards complaint when it comes to DHTML. Or if you use Chrome then FireFox.

4. Trying logging in from a different device.

If it still isn't working after those quick checks, it is likely to be something behind the scenes and one of the staff will have to take a look at it, but at least doing this you've eliminated the possibility it is a problem at your end.

Emperor, thanks for your other suggestions. The arrow dissapeared next to the watch list button, but I can still access my lists through Community. That heature never dissapeared. Just the propdown arrow. You've given me lots if things to try, I appreciate it. Love IMDB!!

That is odd. I'd definitely go through those checks I suggest as that definitely seems like a browser issue - even when my lists disappear the downwards pointing arrow is there, it is just that there are no lists on the menu, just "View Watchlist" and "New List".

It should also be possible to check if the code is there on the page to display the button, but we might as well cover the bases first.

Emeror, Thanks for the suggestions. I logged in on a different computer, and things were fine, so I reset my own browser, and now I am good to go. Thanks for your help!
