I notice there is a new thread on the Help Board, which was closed to new threads in February. I don't see a "start a new thread" link, but it somehow got started.

Anyone have this imdb problem?

The dropdown menu drops down ove the HELP and YOUR WATCHLIST links, so disappears when you move cursor to them. I'd ask on the IMDB HELP section, but you need facebook to post there and its woefully confusing.

Also, when you click to add a board avatar, nothing pops up.

bluesmanSF,

Back in October 2012, I discovered a way to post to any board, including the IMDb Information board. I reported this security flaw to the IMDb Help Desk. Nadia indicated that she had forwarded this to the IMDb technical staff. Unfortunately, the security flaw still exists.
