Feedback on new photo viewer design
There is no longer a windowed overlay when viewing photos. There used to be an x in the top corner to click that would return to the movie page, but some moron decided to remove this feature. Gotta click the movie links now on the photo info to return to the movie page. Yeah I know, this may seem petty, but its just bad web coding.

Hi all –
Yesterday, we fully launched the new photo viewer experience on desktop and mobile web.
Thank you all for your bug reports and feedback. We adjusted the following elements:
If you encounter any other bugs, please post them here — we'll be looking at the thread.
Thanks again!

I'd been having issues with Chrome with the (X) being visible but not working, but after I last updated it's (so far) working fine.
Someone else posted yesterday with the same issue: https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/picture-gallery-broke

I'm not happy with it either, because if you've been surfing through a bunch of photos in the same gallery, now each photo is part of the browsing history. For instance, if I start here:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036941/mediaindex?refine=nm0413410
and I click on the first photo of Danny Jackson, then use the right arrow to advance through them, a few photos later (BUG) I'm no longer in the sub-gallery for Danny Jackson, and notice each photo has added to the "Back" list:
Without the X to close the mediaviewer, I now have to dig through my Back history to attempt to return to the point before I launched the viewer. (Also, before this new UI, you could use your mouse's Back button so long as you were hovered on the top bar where the X resided, and it would skip all the photos you viewed.)
I'm also missing the "# of n" count for where I am. No longer does it tell me this is the 1st of 20, or the 5th of 20. (And since it lost track of the subset I was trying to view, now it's wandering through 207 images.)
This is Chrome 83 on Windows 10. It wants to update; same result with new Version 83.0.4103.116 (Official Build).

Photo gallery redesign is nice, but two adjustments:
1. photo gallery pages need a "back" button, just the like the movie clips pages
2. please return photo count: "Photo X of Y"

Since website update you can't close down the picture gallery and return to the born today list. The only option now is the homepage.

Here are the issues I'm seeing reported. Let me know if I'm missing any.
1. There used to be an 'X' to close the photo viewer, but now it's gone — this has been replaced with the '< Back' link in the top left.
2. Clicking '< Back' doesn't work as expected — this is a bug; we are working to fix it.
3. '< Home' goes to the homepage, even if that's not the previous page — this is a bug; we are working to fix it.
4. '< Back' isn't visible — it should be! We need more info to reproduce this issue. See screenshot below.
5. 'X of Y' isn't visible — it should be! See screenshot.
6. Each photo URL goes into the browser's history / "back stack" — this is how we designed it. Open to feedback.
7. The photo viewer doesn't respect the constraints of the sub-gallery; it browses the whole gallery — this is how the current experience works, and we haven't changed it. I agree it's not ideal.
