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 AMAZON. You 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

@Col_Needham - Instead of worrying about pretty icons and fancy fonts, maybe you should concentrate on accurate information. Or at least give us the tools to correct your mistakes.
On Olivia Hussey's page, the video showing is for Romeo & Juliet 2013. She was in the 1968 Romeo & Juliet, not the 2013 one. this shows at the top with the primary picture and at the bottom with video links.
Editing the page does not take me anywhere that I can correct that, and of course, there is no feedback/webpage error report line to tell you about the problem.
Maybe that is where you should invest time and labor rather than fluff.

Where's the "reference view" for name pages? Title pages have always had one, like this:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/reference/
I can't stand the new "mobile view" default for any page, and from the feedback over the past couple years here, everyone else hates it too.
So I just use the reference view for title pages. Name pages weren't affected by the IMDb mobile virus; neither were the various sub pages. However, several months ago, the name pages became infected, so I need the reference view for them too now.
Note there's still an option in our account display preferences to default to the Reference view, but this affects only title pages now for some reason.
On a related note: A few days ago, at least one of the sub pages appears to have been affected (infected) with the Mobile Virus: Technical Specs. And I'm clicking on a link from the title page reference view; it switches to Mobile View for that sub page, with a stupid pencil icon instead of the word Edit. (We're not stupid; we understand English; we don't need pictures to replace words.) Clicking on the stupid pencil brings up the editor, thankfully in Desktop mode again.
Screw Mobile everything. Damn pestilence is what it is.

Bring back the old layout! UI minimalism approaches are destroying the internet and removing useful functionality in favor of basic designs with fewer items, big buttons, lots of free space and simple interfaces with reduced options to filter and search

Okay, I am still unhappy with the new name page design and I really wish IMDB would revert back to the old name page design. Since it looks like that isn't going to happen, despite numerous complaints, could we at least be given the ability to sort the "View All Credits" page by project type? It would make things much easier. Ever since the new page design was forced on everyone I have been using the "View All Credits" page. The only problem is that the individual's credits are not sorted by movie, television, and so on.

I don't get why imdb.com needs to be loaded dynamically, which causes it to load quite slowly. Come on guys, this is very amateuristic and makes IMDB look bad. Please fix this stuff, just load the website fully, like before the redesign.
To clarify, I'm mostly talking about the movies and series websites. For example the ''User reviews'', ''Top picks'' and ''More like this'' sections always load with a delay. I get this problem on all desktop browsers like Firefox, Edge and Vivaldi.

It is much harder to navigate to the information I'm looking for now. It requires many more clicks because without the tabs at the top of each project and company pages, I have to click back to project or company home page each time I want to go from "actors" to "filmmakers" or "staff" to "clients" etc. I understand that websites are often looking to find ways to get more clicks, but as someone with tendonitis in my fingers, I can tell you that extra clicking back and forth is anti-accessibility. It also takes much longer to get information, and is not user-friendly... So overall, this update is a big downgrade from how the site layout used to work.
I hope others who have recognized this problem will vote this up. And if you disagree with me, please comment with whatever hacks you've found to make it work for you.
Thanks for listening.

My topic was closed and merged with some other thread, but I couldn't find a way to respond to Col Needham. And I couldn't find the posts made in the original thread, probably because this forum is a huge mess and is very unhandy to work with. But anyway, I don't think it should have been merged, since the issue that I'm describing is about overall slowness of IMDB, not so much about the new design in terms of looks.
@ Col_Needham
Perhaps there's something wrong with the way you guys are tracking stuff, perhaps it's not based on real life? I'm sure if you load IMDB from the intranet with speedy machines, you might not notice the shortcomings.
While I know for a fact that I get to see this problem on many PC's, also from friends and family, with adblocking disabled. You must not forget, you will literally see the three loading dots displayed when IMDB is busy loading stuff. The old IMDB was way faster to load because it didn't have all of the extra JavaScript bloat.
Can you tell me a bit more about this ''client-side rendering'' stuff? So this hasn't been implemented yet? And what is it supposed to do?

Actually, both my Editor and Producer credits say this on my page. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2566086/
Can someone tell me how to fix this or even just report it to tech support? Thanks

I would like to be able to select an actor/actress and sort their movies to see if they appear within my Watchlist. This sort feature was available before IMDB redesigned its website.

How can we see all movie and TV credits associated with a name?
For example, America's Best Dance Crew does not appear as a credit on the Lil Mama profile page but she appears as a cast member on the program page. I’ve noticed similar gaps for other names and TV shows or movies.

Since the November 2022 IMDb Name Page Redesign, I noticed that the Self credits disappeared on many people pages. For instance, if they appeared on a talk show as a guest, on a reality show as a judge or in historical video, those credit acknowledgements no longer appear on their IMDb page.
For example, America's Best Dance Crew does not appear as a credit on the Lil Mama profile page but she appears as a cast member on the program page.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2674657/
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1145872/reference
It makes the Name Pages incomplete and I miss that information. I’ve discovered unknown other places to see my favorites.
Thanks

When searching for an actor, the list of their movies now does not show the ratings, you have to click on the 'info' button. Why was it deemed an improvement to hide that information away? Surely getting that info at a glance was better?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm missing something here, I added the first acting credit of this page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9737833/
And acting category says "Credits excluded. Update filter selections.". No idea why.
I think this also happened on another page I added first credit of a category but I can't remember the name of that one now.
