I installed this on December 20th, and it initially worked great. I have about 950 movies in the "My Movies" list, and they all showed up as green when I viewed IMDB pages such as the top 250. Then i started rating more and more movies, and noticed that some lists were inconsistent. Pages that listed, for example, the top grossing movies of a specific year, would have some of my rated movies highlighted, others not. I would click on some of the un-highlighted movies and once the page loaded it would show that I had in fact rated it, and then the title would turn green.

Now, the script doesn't seem to work at all. Viewing the Top 250 list, none of the movies appear green.

Hi there!

Please be sure that:

- you're logged in on IMDB
- the account you used to log in really has ratings and/or movies added to "My Movies" lists
- you're using the latest version of the script
- the script is enabled on Greasemonkey
- Greasemonkey is enabled on Firefox

If all of the above is true, check if there are any errors on the Error Console and post them here:

- open the TOP 250 page: http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
- open the Error Console with Ctrl+Shift+J (or use the menu Tools -> Error Console)
- clear all messages
- click the Errors button
- reload the TOP 250 page
- copy any and all error messages and post them here

Also, please inform the versions of your OS, browser and Greasemonkey.

It started working again on it's own the next day. I was logged in to IMDB the entire time and everything was enabled. I assume maybe it was a temporary server-side change?
But as for now, it works 95% well enough. Occasionally I see a movie that is not highlighted, which I know for a fact is in My Movies, and I then click that movie and THEN it turns green.
