The new design absolutely SUCKS! Go back to the old format and we will forget about this abomination that is the current IMDb design.

At this point, my only issue with the new name page is that the thumbnails and lists could be in a larger font/size. It looks like it was meant for viewing on a cellphone, and while it may be okay to zoom/squint with a cellphone viewing on a desktop doesn't and shouldn't allow for that.

Strange thing: Looked up Richard Kind and saw that he was in 50 episodes of Mad About You starting in 1992. When I returned to his page after reading about the new page design, the Mad About You credit had disappeared.

Quick thoughts I have after a glimpse at the new design:
Bad thing: still lacks dark theme.
Good thing: Actor/Director/Writer/etc. sections finally have poster pictures preview on them and thank Khala these lists made it to the final release as single-column lists, not a multi-column as they were in earlier versions. It's a bit annoying that you need to press "See all" to see them all, but I guess it's for optimization reasons and also not every user is like me and not every user wants to see a long list of all celebrity's works, so I guess it's kind of fine.

I've just realized that the films with the "Announced" status do not show up anywhere on a person's IMDb page in the desktop version. Neither in the credits, nor in the sidebar section for projects in development.
Here's an example from my own IMDb page. My announced feature film Pure doesn't show up in my directing credits (only my post-production film We Put the World to Sleep is shown in the "Upcoming" section), nor in the "Projects In Development" side section (where only 3 films with statuses "pitch" and "turnaround" are shown). It is only seen in my "Known for" section, but only by chance because it happened to be among the post popular ones.
By default Pure is only shown on my IMDb Pro page and the IMDb mobile app.

I don't like that the first page of a person's page, doesn't have the short bio with the Read More link AND Their BIRTH DATE AND DEATH If they have. Keep their Birthday and death on the FIRST PAGE! I DON'T WANT TO CLICK ON IT TO SEE IF THEY ARE DEAD!

IMDB used to be simple and functional. I don't want or need the poster for every film title, along with all of that extra space it takes. Just a simple list, PLEASE. And don't make me have to click on a new box for every type of credit. Just list them all as you used to years ago. Every one of your "improvements" makes this site much more difficult to use. Not long ago, I used IMDB every day, but the redesign now makes me frankly scared of visiting again. I only encounter frustration now, so why bother?

Complete rubbish. Have you ever heard from Shakespeare "brevity is the soul of wit"???? or from Thoreau "simplify, simplify"
Everytime you "improve" your website it gets more complicated, busy with pop ups and unrequested videos, and MUCH harder to use. You changed things around a few years ago, and that was bad......these changes are even worse. Take a lesson from Wikapedia, a site both ordered and informative without all the un-neccesary clutter.

At this point I see a problem in the way an artist's credits are shown. I'm looking for Jane Morgan's TV appearances. Previously there were lists underneath each TV series, and we could save the page with all the info showing. Now we need to bring up a special panel, and ask for each season separately. See attachment. How does anyone figure this is an improvement??
To me it's the kind of degeneration we see on various sites as new programmers come in and think they can "improve" things.

Aaand It's Gone!
We can't see a person filmography (all credits) like this anymore on mobile phones:
when we replace "fullcredits" with "filmotype" in address bar
Thanks IMDb for ruining everything. Fantastic job, guys.

I like having films, shows, documentaries and shorts separate. It would be interesting if we could have settings for it that applied permanently. Instead of having to edit the filter every time I open someone's page.

Hi, in the new presentation of my page credits or function do not appear, as for the most recent, being head of development of Maimouna Doucouré's HAWA for AMAZONYou can't see it on my page, but only if you dig on HAWA's page.
Is it possible to display ALL THE CREDITS by default ?
Thx, François
