These enhancements reflect changes suggested by IMDb customers, as well as our own in-depth research designed to enhance entertainment content, discovery, and navigation. More information is available in the FAQ on the help page.
We hope you enjoy these latest improvements, and thank you for continuing to make IMDb the world’s most trusted source for movie, TV, and entertainment content.

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.

Please revise the standard Name page settings AWAY from the default 3-or-less categories "selected" to display. This makes it look as if everyone / anyone on IMDb has only worked in at most 3 categories. The default view should be to show ALL categories containing credits, and users could then be able de-select whichever job categories they do not want to see. Literally every name page I land on, I have to go through the process of scrolling (too far) down the page to find credits, de-selecting all pre-selected groups (Click, Click, Click) which releases all categories to be shown, and then I have to click Collapse Below in order to see a full list of credits by category. I don't know what kind of dumbed-down version of the internet the IMDb Gods decided they had to offer the public, but I thought IMDb has always been about delivering full and accurate information, not some algorithmically truncated slice of the pie. Truly hoping the Powers That Be here give us back the full strength of this database sometime soon. In the meantime, I will keep perusing the various competitor sites to see if anyone else gets it right first.

The Personal Details section on name pages includes birth dates, but the edit link next to it leads to a selection of data types that doesn't include birth date.

In "Known for" and on IMDbPro, occupations with company names of the type "visual effects editor: RISE" are displayed as "visual effects editor (RISE)".
Perhaps that is why I am starting to see more examples of the company being entered as an attribute instead of in the occupation field.

(Not sure if this has been discussed among the 16 pages of posts here.)
Why is the attribute (uncredited) not visible on the primary page? You can see it when clicking on the info (i) icon, but why not include it up front?
Here are 2 presentations of an extreme example:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0868177/
versus
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0868177/fullcredits

Hi, I recently had my first additional crew credit and it's coming up as
'Credits excluded. Update filter selections.'
And I want to fix it so it can be seen- how do I do this?
this is my page here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14001223/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_7_q_Amie%2520Page

Most of my ratings of titles vanish after returning to the name page using the browser's Back feature (back mouse button) at this page in the Actor section:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000354/
Initial "text-align: center;">

I think this is a glitch but name pages no longer display uncredited status. The title pages indicate whether an actor or crew member was uncredited but their name pages no longer do so. I would like to think this was not intentional and will need fixing.
