IMDb Name Page Redesign

The previous design had horizontal scroll on an actor's past credits, which showed their past movies/tv show in a larger icon. This made it easier to quickly browse to see where you might know them from.

New design has tiny icons. Would also love an option to revert to the old design.

So as far as I can tell, this updated format only occurs when you're looking at an *actor's* page, and not the page of a film. Why in the world would you take an effective interface, working perfectly at doing two jobs, perhaps even streamlining use of the site due to it's lack of complication. And then here we are now, changing half the site into a convoluted mess and leaving the previously successful code intact, just underutilized. What a joke. 

If imdb reaaly cared about us users they would read the feedback here and realize with 99% negative feedback that there is something wrong with the new page layout and fire / replace the designers , in any other industry if engineers screwed up like this they would be fired !

can i revert back to the old look of imdb. the new look is terrible.

Damn this new design is horrible.  It's just plain hard to use. 

The images in the list of projects are too small to be truly useful and destroy the readability.

Why do I have to click "view all" when I probably wanted to view them all to begin with?

Did you increase the size of the photos?  (Hint: People do not go to a movie database to view pictures, I go there for data).

"Known for..."?  Yes.... there's a list of credits below that which gives EVERYTHING they did.

What were you thinking?

New version is HORRIBLE for printing name pages!!!!!! It almost triples the amount of pages, ex. a name page that would normally be printing at 5 pages is now showing printing at 15 pages because it expands the images and video thumbnails aggressively...at $.10 a page, $.50 to $1.50 is excessive!!!!!!

Too bad on not having the option to switch back to the previous version, I do recall back in the day users were able to view different versions, I guess out with the old and in the new, as they say, phooy!

Please make the previous version also available, as performer pages are needed for printing for CDs (casting directors) and producers, etc!

I think it would look better with a few tweaks. 

- Leave off the pictures, it makes it look too noisy.

-Change the Titles to blue instead of black.

-Put "TV Series" behind the title instead of on a new line- maybe in parentheses.

-Expand the listing by showing the episodes and making them links.  That will save a click and a popup.

A good layout example of this would be something like this.

Honestly, my eye can skim the old style a lot faster than the new "modern, clean presentation of information which works for casual users", as you call it.

Just my two cents.

I’m a longtime IMDb user. Only now just made an account to make this comment. This new redesign is terribly structured, visually it’s confusing and makes a once simple to navigate website visually incoherent. The first thought to enter my mind was “how and where is the info I’m looking for?” Many apps and websites change over the years and make horrible updates that ruin a fine thing. Please, reconsider your update, there was no need for this. 

Before your 'upgrade' where actors & actress were not jumbled up. I use imdb to search for actors & actresses by name & put them in my spreadsheet. Simple is better always.

. I don't like the way somebody changed the layout.

 Is anyone from IMDb web design reading these posts?

The consensus is that we DO NOT LIKE the new format and

we want an option out!

Thanks

Thank you for more than 20 years, apparently you only understand the value of something when you lose it :(

Suggestions:

1. Please open the old and the new design as options for a while at the same time and then see from the statistics which one is used more. This would solve the previously commented problem of only a couple of hundred complains and hundreds of millions of users are happy. 

2.  Or open the old IMBD for paying customers. That could make some money for you. 

As others have noted, the redesign is a catastrophic mess. If your goal was to get me to create an IMDB account (and thereby get my email address) in order to complain about this laughably bad redesign, then job well done. Who decided that breaking out credits into past and upcoming was preferable to a simple, easy to read list of all credits? It takes more clicks to get the information than it did before. There are redesigns that are frustrating at first and take time to get used to and then there is this. This is bad. Someone needs to take a step back, acknowledge the valid criticism the redesign is getting, swallow their pride and admit this redesign was perhaps change for the sake of change or someone trying to justify their job at IMDB. 

I'm sorry to say that I'm not a fan of the newly-designed "Names" pages.  The new design seems far more complicated to use than the previous design--just not as user-friendly.  I hope you will consider going back to the old design--which I have enjoyed, very much, for years..

The new design is a nightmare ! I want the normal view back ! nothing is good on the new version ! I want the 90's look !!!

Dear IMDB Team, 

Please revert to the old format. The new one is very cluttered and without any charm whatsoever. 

How can you be like this? It used to be such a nice website and now it's very unwieldy.
