I loved IMDB for its message board. I really missed the discussions of seemingly inane details and banter on the forums. I can't thank this person enough for restoring at least a little bit of what it used to be.

Very nice site, but I have the same issue as Candie Foss. hmm, according to the screenshot used on this addon's Overview page, the results are intentional and not a malfunction. It shows the Dunkirk movie IMDB page with 6 posts with no links to view more posts or go to next pages. The addon produces exactly what's shown in the screenshot. One has to leave the site to see the posts on filmboards.com which has hundreds of Dunkirk posts over 9 pages, which defeats the purpose.
