Hello.

I think it should be easier for IMDb customers to travel between the Get-Satisfaction IMDb-Community pages and the regular IMDb pages. 
For example, some question/idea/problem/praise occurs to someone who's browsing or looking through IMDb.com, so she goes to GetSatisfaction.com/IMDb to address it; if, once she finishes there, she wants to continue using IMDb.com, it's not very easy to get back as it stands now. It would be helpful if each Get Satisfaction IMDb-Community page contained a link to the IMDb homepage—even a small one, preferably located in the same spot on every page. An appropriate spot might be the upper left where "IMDb.com" is written in fairly large type; currently, clicking there leads to the Community homepage, but since there is a "Home" button—leading to the same place—less than an inch below, why not start using the former as a way back to what it says: IMDb.com (the tiny words "Community powered support for" are not very noticeable anyway).
The same problem exists moving in the opposite direction. Navigating from IMDb.com pages to GetSatisfaction.com/IMDb Community pages is not simple. Having to go into the Help section and then use multiple "Current site issues" links is cumbersome. Since the IMDb Get-Satisfaction pages are meant to be the IMDb Community, why isn't there a link in what seems to be a rather logical place on each page: the "News & Community" drop-down menu, or else among the links found at the bottom of every page?

Thank you.

Sounds perfectly logical...I like it.  Though, I usually have both open in different tabs.  Another way to get here fairly quickly (two clicks) is to give a big scroll down to the bottom of every/any page of the main site and click "contact us," which has:

Click here to go to
the official IMDb Support Community


But I think doing it your way would be great!
