Here at my side When i go to imdb.com and look something up, the page keeps refreshing non-stop.
I love using imdb weaver, so i hope this can be fixed. Thanks, Jeroen/jeroen3000 |

Hmm, that's not happening for me. Nor does IMDb Weaver have any page reloading logic. What version of the script do you have? Which imdb domain are you visiting, (varies by country)? Maybe they have a problem going on. Have you tried disabling IMDb Weaver to see if the problem still occurs? (Right-click on the greasemonkey icon in the status bar, then click on IMDb Weaver to uncheck) Do you have any other scripts that operate on imdb.com? |

Oookay, with a little experimentation I am able to see this problem by disabling my Adblock Plus extension. Apparently there is some weird interaction with doubleclick ads that imdb has integrated into their site. I'll look into this. In the meantime, you can get Adblock here: http://adblockplus.org/. You probably need a filter subscription for it to automatically block that doubleclick content, (subscriptions are free). I'm using EasyList. THANKS jeroen for reporting this. |

I have adblock plus with EasyList subscription and it still happens to me even though Adblock is enabled. This is quite annoying. Any more info you can give to us until this is corrected? |

I am stumped by this. I'm not even sure that it's being caused by my script, because debugging statements at the very top of the script do not get executed in those rapid fire refreshes. I'm starting to wonder if this is happening to any other imdb scripts... I see now that it is not EasyList that is blocking the troublesome doubleclick content, but rather a custom rule that I have. Unfortunately I don't have any idea how I got these custom rules, but Adblock tells me which one is blocking the doubleclick goobers. I think you can add this rule yourself as follows: Paste this into the Adblock options dialog, (just open the dialog and paste it): /[^a-z\d=+]\d*((cible|com|context|double|euro(s4)?|fast|fine|pay-by-|precision|smart|specific|value)_?clicks?|clicks?(2net|adhere|ban\.php|bank\.net|booth(lnk?)\.com|over|sor\.com|tag|thrutraffic|trade|xchange))(\W|$)(?!but)/ This new rule should show up under "My Ad Blocking Rules". Make sure that it is Enabled. Let me know if that helps. |

Thanks, that did stop it. That is one hell of a rule, so complicated and long. One interesting behavior: I added the rule, that fixed it (for one page the rule is hit 6 times), then disabled it and reloaded the page and rapid fire refresh started again. Now I enabled the rule and the rapid fire refresh stopped without me even reloading the page (This time the rule got hit just once). I don't know whether this helps. I am sure to some capacity the problem is coming from this script, as when I disable it, it stops the problem).

Hi sorry for the offtopic but is there something i can do to avoid that imbd recognizes the country from where i am making a search? For example from Argentina the search "tetro" doesn't show any results because the movie was not released here (besides it was shot here). Another thing that annoys me is that all the titles appear in spanih even if the search was in english. Thank you for your script, work and time ! |

@mpk, this is not something I'm familiar with. You're talking about functionality of the imdb site itself. Have you had a look at their help pages? Good luck... |
