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..

Can you please gave us account option to revert to old design of name pages? I´m going here for 22 years and i had old computer with old operation system (don´t have money for new). And in my computer it takes eternity to load actor page. All these sections, videos, photos... it is very confusing for me, my head start aching from it. I simply want to see in which movie/TV show actor appear. Yes i understand this is for young people who like all this multimedia stuff, not for some old movie geek, but this is highly discriminating for some users who don´t have modern computers and who cannot follow all this new stuff. Can you at least make this "All Credits" option for text only as choice in user profile, so it became default for all actors i open? Otherwise i will have to say goodbye to imdb, because my computer and my mind simply cannot take it.

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.

I tried to approach the new name pages with an open mind on my phone last night, especially now that I've explored them a bit more on a computer. While I feel I'm familiar enough now to be able to use them as I wish on a desktop browser, I don't feel they function well on a phone's browser.
I noticed:
Frustration set in quickly and I ended up putting the phone down when all I wanted to know was which country an actor was born in. So in the future, on my phone, I'll probably just go to Wikipedia or Google first for such information.

This update is freakin' AWFUL. So much wasted space. I think Wikipedia is going to be my go to from now on. IMDB has consistently ignored what it's users want.

On mobile phones, if we want to see the name pages like this when we click at "All Credits":
we need to type "filmotype" in the address bar every time
or the pages will look the same as on the desktop (this means unreadable on phones)
Is this permanent or will something change soon?

I hate the "new version" page layout. Is there any way to switch back to the old version. The new layout is too confusing, and difficult to find what I'm looking for.

You might have watched a production from a specific person and you are checking their IMDB page to find out more stuff, but when you click a random film you had already watched it. This could be easily avoided if IMDB added a simple feature that would place your rating next to the productions you already watched. For instance:

None of these responses tell how to get back to the original good view. Please help!

Whoever decided to lower case everyone's job title on IMDb with the new page design should be fired.
As someone who works in the film industry, not only does this look completely wrong, but it just feels so unprofessional for a website that is displaying credits of people who work in the film and TV industries.
I've used IMDb for 20+ years. Please change this. The design is nice, but let's make sure everything is titled appropriately and as per modern day grammatical sense when referring to people's job titles.

@Col_Needham , the previous version is user friendly and flawless in terms of printing name pages...the images and thumbnails were downsized, not excessive, all the credits, 5 User Lists, some Related News links, Known For, etc., all able to fit within an acceptable amount of pages, not overblown images, which can take an entire page for just a photo...here's an example, printing on the new version, shows the current name and the last clicked page, the other 4 clicked page images aren't viewable, but those 2 images are an entire page, again, just those two images...taking up an entire page isn't justified.
Since printing name pages is critical for our team, I'm willing to pay an extra $50.00 for Pro per year, for access to the previous version, which again was extremely printer friendly.
I would hope that IMDb/Amazon wouldn't turn down money that a user is willing to send your way.

Absolutely terrible change. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?
This new layout is objectively poorer in every conceivable way.
All IMDb needs to do is look at the feedback from real users on this post, which shows overwhelming dislike.
No doubt the project managers and higher-ups will brush off the near-universal criticism of this awful and needless redesign, and convince themselves that they're investing in the future of the brand or some such nonsense.

why does it take three full pages to get to the list of credits with this design? in what possible way could that be an improvement to the site? who wants a featured gallery to be the first thing under the person's info banner? and if a link to their photos page is in that banner, why is the sidescrolling images section also before the credits?
filmography is still directly below the video preview & bio section on the app, so why make the website different?

Reason: If you need just plain written information, this is the page setting of choice. Plus, searching for a work the person was involved in, you might be unsure if the work in question was a TV movie, a movie, or an episode of a series. Having all entries in sight allows you to use your browser's search function to find the work in question.
To get all those information you quite tediously first have to select the page, wait until it is complete (incl. all sorts of pictures and movies included), scroll til the three-lines-pictoram under the headline "Credits", click it, and click "View all credits" in the pop-up window that appears.
It would be a great help to get the desired information immediately.
Kind regards
