Adam (ID: 00000004c660fbd2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/25/2021 Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Puts an MC icon in the top right extension bar. When you're on an IMDb page, just click that icon and the corresponding MovieChat forum page opens in a new tab. Does not integrate directly into the IMDb page like the old forums, but it's the next best thing and works well.
