Changed position of Submit button
Can I urge IMDB not to tinker with the position of the buttons on the submission page. We have all got used to the buttons (left to right) being:
Re-check, Save, Submit
Now they have been changed to:
Submit, Re-check, Save
I have already accidentally submitted a half-completed submission because I instinctively pressed the left-most button, thinking that it was the Re-check button.
It's not the end of the world, but it will take a lot of un-learning to get used to the changed positions of the buttons.
Everyone's used to how you used to do it, so why change - it's only going annoy people.
Re-check, Save, Submit

Seriously, why would somebody think it is necessary to change the order of buttons is beyond me.

Came here to ask just that. What a disaster! I've already accidentally submitted 3 unfinished forms with incomplete information. Now I'll have to wait till they're approved to see if there was any wrong information submitted and correct it.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes you are correct, this is currently in the testing phase. The purpose of the change is to try to improve the customer experience by reducing the amount of round trips per submission, though we appreciate that this changes the required method of submission for our more experienced contributors. I have passed your comments back to the tech team responsible who are monitoring the overall customer impact.
Thanks,
Will

Came here (for the first time I think) to post exactly the same thing, after it took me 4 attempts to submit the credits for one episode of a tv series...

I can't get why buttons "Submit these updates" and "Re-check these updates" were swapped.
I was so used to previous layout that by clicking on the wrong button I've erroneously submitted not one but three new title submissions which consist of just a title and a type, simply because it took me at least four attempts to make the submission without goofing. I am pretty sure that will be the case with quite a few users and I can't get why that design change was made in the first place. If that was because someone complained that "Re-check these updates" gets pressed often that's a good thing: it actually makes users re-check before submitting the submission without reading it ever again and making a ton of mistakes.
Here are the reference numbers of erroneous submissions which I hope will be declined:
191023-211339-950000
191023-204908-157000
191023-204739-445000

The decisions to (a) move the buttons around AND (b) make the "submit these updates" button present and enabled even though there are still items requiring correction (red or yellow boxes) were poor decisions in terms of user experience.
