IMDb won't load more than the first two pages of one of my lists. Keep getting this error message: "The list you're looking for is unavailable. It may be a temporary problem. Try reloading this page." When will this be fixed?

Hi Michelle -- Here is page 1. I can get to the second page, but no further. Thanks for offering to help.

For the record, we've found (at the related discussion here: https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/unable-to-view-one-of-my-lists) that on other lists it's the use of en dashes (–) that's causing the problem. Replacing any en dashes in your descriptions with a regular dash (-) has shown to resolve the issue. So IMDb techs need to look for whatever is causing the site to reject en dashes (and possibly other special characters) and fix that.

Hi, Pete. Several others are experiencing the same issue, myself included. Some of us (again, myself included) can't see *any* of the pages on our affected lists, though we can still edit them. See my post here: https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/unable-to-view-one-of-my-lists

UPDATE: My list pages are loading fine today. Thanks for helping! Charles, I did revise the title of my list to remove punctuation marks. Thank you for that tip.
