Reference mode still works on movie titles but appears broken currently for actor pages.

I haven't seen any changes to the name pages so far. I will need to see the page set up before I can give feedback.

One of my favorite options was to search people and then rank their work by IMDb rating. It seems this is no longer possible?

Artist's page new design is working on chrome but I still see the old design on Firefox. I liked the new design so just curious if Firefox is planned or is there any issue?

How do we get rid of this terrible new page design? How do I get back to using the original?

Well I don't like the page redesign. Is there a way to revert to the old one? Specifically what I don't like about the redesign is, that when you look up an actor/actress, the Title, Role Name, and type of work are all in the same column. It's quite an eyesore, especially when you are looking a particular character name. TBH it's horrible to present data in this jumbled up way. It makes absolutely zero sense that someone thought this is the best way to present the information.

Above all, in the list of credits, why in the heavens are personal and global ratings and watchlist status not shown alongside the titles or next to the posters, like in the mobile app?? :( There's so much space between the title and year of release, it would be possible to put in plenty more info in there, and the ratings and watchlist status are essential.
Curiously watchlist status is shown instead of the poster for unreleased titles... really it should be watchlist icon next to the poster for all titles.
Ideally there should be a toggle between normal and compact view - the view with mini-posters and character names works for short credit lists, but try scrolling through that for a person with 200 or 300 credits... The compact view should be like before - just a tightly-spaced table with titles and years of release (and ratings and watchlist icon!!, which take no vertical space at all).
Overall there's potential and the look is definitely modernised, but at the moment there's way too little information at hand and way too much space wasted. Some quick fixes could make it great!

This is the second redesign I've seen on IMDb. It's even worse than the first one.
All I want is the basic information about the actor, director, or movie I click on. I don't want more photos, more links, more extraneous stuff. Just the list of pertinent info. Put the photos and other junk into a link I can click on if I want it - and see just how few of us ever click on those links.

Please don't change what you have. It is excellent the way it was. I like the way you laid out the information. Now, there is not nearly as much information to gather. Please think about it. I love the way it has been for years!!!

There are some things that I like about this redesign (How "Known For" looks, separation of Upcoming and Released), but a lot of functions I habitually used either seem to be completely lost or it's not easy to navigate where to find them.
Just one example is that you can't view filmography fully. Either I don't get something or you need to manually click and expand each category after the main three. As someone who's activity and research often involves scrolling through the filmography at a whole that means that I should open everything beforehand.
Then there is an issue that I'm not sure that Cyrillic alternate titles and alternate titles in general work properly on these name pages like they did before.

In a glitch likely related to redesign of name pages, if you go to lists for a name page, you can find lists that are not public. As such, for example, there are two lists on my page which are not available to view, but are still there.
One of them happens to be the list harassing me and another person specifically that I thought was long-deleted.

Please reinstate the star signs on at least advanced name search. This option is really helpful, and saves so much time if know certain details regarding people.
