SITE SETTINGS: I try Number of TV Shows for a series to Display. I SET FOR "ALL" & CLICK SUBMIT BUTTON BUT IT KEEPS GOING BACK TO 5 PER PAGE.

Confirmed that NO selection other than 5 will stick on

However, immediately after setting it, a refresh on a name page does display with the proper number of episodes. I used this name to test a few settings:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005166/
So the problem is the display of the settings, not the functionality.

Where did you "refresh" it from? The top of window tab? Barry

Perhaps the browser you use calls it Reload. It doesn't matter how you Refresh/Reload. You only need to Refresh/Reload if you had a Name page open while changing your setting.
The point is that after setting and clicking Submit for the number of TV episodes you want to see on a Name page, despite the fact that the Settings page shows 5 again, Name pages will show the desired number of episodes (for people with sufficient episodes).

1 :Earlier when I clicked on the link you said: I used this name to test a few settings........ It came up with my popsbarry@gmail.com at the right hand top like I had logged in myself. How did you do that? Do you work at IMDb.com? 2: Correct the refresh did nothing to help save the ALL. 3: It was actually a Title page of GUNSMOKE 1955-1975 TV. I wonder if a name page matters or what. However I will try a name page. Thanks for the best wishes on the transplant!

Again, you don't need to worry about Refresh. After you tap on Submit, the settings page will not display the number of episodes you chose (unless it was 5). It's a bug that Employee Steve has acknowledged in this thread. If you save ALL, it will save it. It just doesn't SHOW that you saved it.
Also, the setting has nothing to do with Title pages like Gunsmoke. The settings screen says it's a setting for NAME PAGES. That's why I keep referring to Susan Lucci. Look at this piece of the settings page; it says Name pages immediately to the left of the Setting that we've been discussing:

popsbarry@gmail.com,
You don't need to worry about the Refresh/Reload button/process. (That was a one-time thing because I had a Name page open while I changed my settings.) Just create the settings you want, and access a Name page.
IMDb has lots of different types of pages. Name pages are those for (mostly) People who act, direct, perform services to create movies or TV shows. (I say "mostly" because Name pages exist for groups of people like the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and for animal performers, puppets, etc.) The movie/TVshow pages are called Title pages.
The setting you started this thread about is for how many TV Episodes will display on a Name page. For example, using Susan Lucci again:
Although she was in 49 episodes of Devious Maids, by choosing that setting to show only 5 episodes, her Name page displays the 5 most recent, and a link to see the full list.
Best of luck with your transplant!
