It's horrible! I HATE it! It's stupid to change something beloved by IMDB fans to something new that's confusing! Is the old format still there? I want to use the IMDB pages I love and not figure out how and why you did this stupidity!!

Now that I have access to the new layout, I understand why people are not finding the option "Text view of credits": You have to think to click the triangle to see more options, and then you have to scroll down to see there's a 4th category. I would suggest making "Text view" the first option in the pop-up. (The now-3rd category "See Also" will probably still show at least partially, so people will know to scroll.) Good to see Text view on the All Topics menu.
I'm disappointed with the new display of tv episodes. This performer:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1125732/
has 9 acting credits spread over 8 seasons of the Met Opera HD Live. When I click on the 9-episodes link, the pop-up only shows 1 episode in the her season. So to see all her Met credits together, I would need to use the text view. I'd prefer to see all her credits in that pop-up.
Bug: Same performer, Soundtrack category.
On the text view, it shows her 2 episodes as being in 2013 and 2014.
On the regular page, it shows 2014 and 2016, but does not display an episode when 2016 is clicked. So only 1 of the 2 episodes display.
Show All equivalent: I don't see one, other than the text view. The Expand Below link only expands the categories selected. Is there some way to quickly select all categories and expand them?
Thanks.

I have no idea what part of this redesign benefits anybody. It now takes a dozen clicks across a bunch of categories to get the same information I used to be able to see *all at once* in a list. Now there is a ton of blank space instead of useful information, and if I need to see the DP and the Art Director, they are on on different pages so I have to click on the film, then click on crew, then click on camera department, then click back to crew, then click art department. WHY WHY WHY? it used to all fit perfectly well on one scrolling screen. The info on a particular person is equally stupidly segregated and prioritizes lots of empty space instead of information.
You have taken a very useful tool and turned it from an easy reference into a literal train wreck to navigate for no possible gain I can see. This is totally a big FU to the core film community that built your brand and made your site something we all used. I'm telling you right now that this new interface will cut my use of the site by half or more, because its just not worth the hassle to navigate. Why did you do this? Who asked for this?
Please go back. Make "Crappy New Site" an option for casual users on their phone and leave us industry people with easy to navigate actual data.

It looks like reference view is no longer a solution, and we are being subjected to this objectionable, unneeded redesign. I HATE how the pictures are so huge and there is way less info on my screen. Much more scrolling to look through performers' filmographies. "Modernization" is not an excuse for making changes that decrease quality of life. This is really crappy to do to users. Give us choice, please!

On the new website why are there no attributes on upcoming credits for example I worked as 2nd unit sound mixer on Fast X, Aquaman 2, Mission Impossible 9 (Splinter Unit) and Shazam 2 (UK shoot only) yet I am listed as sound mixer which makes it look like I was the main unit sound Mixer.
I was not on any of these films, and I expect the main unit mixers could be rightly annoyed.

I'm sorry, but the new site redesign is awful with so much empty, white space.
Please, please add an option to return to the old layout, like you did last time you decided to change things.

Thank you Bethanny, what's missing on my page is - the film 'Wild Target' Additional Crew double: Emily Blunt (Isle of Man) (uncredited) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1235189/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm
My Movie Short - 'One Small Camera' - Director, Producer, Film Editing: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3185856/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm
I think that's everything : )

This is terrible, and an insult to users who want data clearly displayed.
The old page had problems, but it didn't waste so much space. It's designer focused instead of user focused. It's about being pretty and not practical. It's like if someone decided to add extra space to your Excel spreadsheet because it's prettier when you need to see more info on screen.
It's "now" focused and hides old projects.
It's not all terrible as there are practical reasons to hide some upcoming films.
Treat us with respect. Give us an option for the old page, or find a way to get all the old info on the page without these filters. It worked well.

Hi,
in the discussions about the new pages, it was said, that there will be a possibility to get a compact and detailed version, without clicking several times to see all information. The pages I see need additional clicks to see all credits or see all episodes of a series.
How can I change the setting? Would be sad if a detailed page wthout additional clicks was promised by col_needham but has not been implemented.
If it's not implemented yet, but will be in future, how can I switch back to the old site...

Can you guys stop continuing to make update after update which makes the site harder to use.
This place was better 3 updates ago. This latest update is super crap.

"By default, the Credits section is loaded with filters applied for jobs that the person is most known for. In order to see a person’s entire list of credits, de-select all of the applied filters. Filters can be de-selected by clicking the ones that are selected under the Credits section header. You can then open all the job sections by selecting Expand below."
Please - do the opposite. Show all by default, it's sooooooo annoying to click so much to get the full lsit everytime, everywhere...

I frequently copy several of an actor's movies form the page, on e at a time. With the new format, I must navigate in to each movie's card, copy the title, then navigate back, then scroll up and down to find my place. This is extremely inconvenient and annoying. Keep the auto-navigate ion the movie image, and revert the text back to a link, so research is easier.
I hope IMDB reads and thinks about these comments, but I really do not think they do. They must justify the cost of redesigning the "new, useful" interface. I hope this does not kill the future of this once wonderful site.
