It appears that the new IMDb clickable logo doesn't place correctly for all monitors/resolutions.  I've got a screenshot but not sure if I can post it here.  It's like 2 inches below where it should be [upper left, above "full cast and crew" text. (Oh, apparently I can post an image :) My monitor is an Acer H236HL, set at 1600 x 900... Windows 10

I have a 17" monitor, and the stupid IMDB Logo is covering the faces of all Actors! The screen size makes no difference, it does the same exact thing on my 38" Samsung HD tv. My screen resolution is 1600 X 900. I'm using the latest version of Firefox. I don't know how to get in contact with IMDB web developers directly. Has anyone been able to get in contact with them?

This is likely to be an issue with your ad blocker or another plugin.  Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-brow... and let us know what happens.

No, actually this is due to the fact that you have shitty developers wotking for you. Like most official reps, why would you blame the company you rep for? Instead let's blame the user. This is a simple copout. Answer me this. Why is it when I use chrome in incognito mode (which has no plugins installed whatsoever) the logo is still messed all up. Hrmm....again because your web/app developers arw garbage. How about you fix the problem instead of blaming us!!!!!!!!! And BTW the animations always suuuuuuuuck!!!!

I've been down this route with them.  They're not going to fix it.  I'd of blown a 38 year programming career in my first year if I wrote code like this.

Same here. If anyone on my team wrote code like this I would fire them sooooo fast. They talk to us like we don't know what is going on. They forget how many of us out there can code circles around their garbage developer's. We ourselves can pick apart their code and see exactly how shitty it is. I have coded plenty of apps personally that had issues with a plugin. I had to go figure out which plugin was conflicting with the app and then i had to figure out a solution so it work properly. Their response is uuuummmmm....disable your plugins one by one and that should fix it. So basically they want us to do their job for them..........

I'm an RPG programmer and just dabble in HTML & Javascript a little.  Don't remember the terminology, but the fix seems simple. They just need to position their objects by actual screen position instead of by proximity to other objects.

As of today, the problem with the IMDB animated logo has returned (was not there in the early morning hours). It does not matter if the uBlock Origin program is running or turned off, the animated logo still appears. Except on the home page, It's not even good animation, meaning it only works correctly on the home page (with or without uBlock Origin turned on).

The floating logo displays no matter if the uBlock Origin (my ad blocker) is on or off. The logo issue comes and goes, nothing on my side has changed. At least this time it didn't interfere with me being able to check a movie to my Watch List. Today the issue has disappeared for me and all is well. Frankly, I don't think I should have to turn my ad blocker off as the computer, in that state is open to dangerous security and virus issues. 

I know IMDb has to make money and how the ads help pay for the site that I adore. The issue comes and goes and I always feel it happens when some programming has changed on the site. Nothing changes with my ad blocker and the issue comes and goes so the "change of the site state" is on the IMDB site, not my ad blocker. I am blocking three ads on this page, FYI.

Thank you for your response and I appreciate the help and that you put my question in the proper forum! Happy Holidays!

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Looks like this section of code needs to be addressed..This floater is obscuring parts of web pages, and not staying in the top nav where it belongs.
Can someone kindly fix this issue? Others have been chirping about it as well.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Disney specific title page looks like crap.

Is there any way to see information about a new Disney title (Coco) without fancy animated style?
Title page with full credits looks like total crap: half of the information is clipped, right menu is unreadable. The page is basically useless.
