IMDb Name Page Redesign

@plur62​ Thanks for the feedback …

Is this permanent or will something change soon?

This is a permanent change as covered earlier in the thread.  We have now moved the “All credits” view to its own URL ending with /fullcredits to ensure the full view is always available on mobile devices. Previously a redirect was bouncing customers over to the m.imdb.com site, which in turn was causing confusion because the m.imdb.com version does not actually include all of the credits (episode details are not covered and it therefore does not meet the customer use case for the page, sorry). 

It sounds like you might be better using the appropriate IMDb app on your phone instead of the web view? 

Hope this helps.

"It sounds like you might be better using the appropriate IMDb app on your phone instead of the web view?"

No. I don't like app, I will type "filmotype" in adresss bar every time when I want to see "All Credits" like it was before on mobile devices.

"Hope this helps."

No, sorry.

And there is probably also an option in the web browser to view all or particular web pages as though being on a desktop computer. I've found that I have to use this on certain websites because they indiscriminately prompt visitors on mobile devices to boot up the app corresponding to he website, while providing no option to explore with a browser that is in mobile mode.

What are you looking for, STclassic3​?

@STclassic3​ You might find our update from last week helpful, particularly the point around the “All credits” view -> https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-name-page-redesign/6351563ae7100d725d54c0bb?commentId=63878b2b038ef261b8f4b7fb

@eunbi0530​ Thanks for the feedback ...

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

Yes, this was one of my favourite new features in the version which we beta tested over the summer.  Unfortunately, the customer feedback at the time showed that overall there were too many changes for people to handle at once.  The version you see now is a compromise and we will keep monitoring the feedback as the new design settles in and hopefully it can return.

In the meantime, you can access this indirectly via the "How much have you seen?" widget which is in the right hand column of the pages. For example, from https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428065/

where the link leads to https://www.imdb.com/seen/nm0428065/ and then you can refine by role and title type, for example, acting in movies -> https://www.imdb.com/seen/nm0428065-actress-movie/ 

Hope this helps.

Regarding having ratings next to each title: perhaps we need an Idea post where people can upvote @eunbi0530​'s idea. Although several people have posted about it in this thread, many more (myself previously included) may not have chimed in, not wanting to clutter this discussion further. 

Also, it might be nice to add the What Have You Seen link to the All Topics menu, so finding it is easier, as is remembering it's available 

@bderoes​ Thanks -- in this case re-including the ratings again does not need an idea thread as it is already high on the consideration list. 

We really need to port /seen/ onto the new platform before elevating it to "All topics" though (and ideally it ought to be possible tag something simply as seen from the ratings widget). 

@Col_Needham​ We really need to port /seen/ onto the new platform before elevating it to "All topics" though (and ideally it ought to be possible tag something simply as seen from the ratings widget). 

I've always liked the "/seen/" easter egg. May I request a slight improvement to that page? It currently has a check box to hide watched movies, however I usually use the page to find the opposite: the movies I HAVE watched. Could you please implement a filter to also hide unwatched movies?

@cartman_1337​ Thanks for the suggestion.  I guess you mean adding another filter which is the opposite of the “Hide titles I’ve seen” checkbox?

Unfortunately, it’s not really practical to make any changes to /seen/ while it is still on the old technology, but things will be more flexible on the new technology.  In the meantime, I assume you know that you can achieve the same effect via Advanced Title Search, for example -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?role=nm0428065&my_ratings=restrict&sort=my_ratings,desc&count=250

@Col_Needham​ I guess you mean adding another filter which is the opposite of the “Hide titles I’ve seen” checkbox?

Exactly.

Yes, I'm aware of the advanced search, and use it quite frequently. But for a random person I stumble upon in a movie it's so much faster and easier to just edit the URL to /seen/ than to go to the advanced search. Hope to see said filter in a later itteration of the feature.

@Col_Needham​ 

Most of the All Topics links go to "old version" pages, so your not wanting to "elevate" the Seen page to All Topics until it's re-tooled doesn't really make sense.

@bderoes​ Ah, almost everything else in “All topics” is already scheduled to move over to the new technology, so at that point /seen/ would be more of an outlier than it otherwise appears today :-)

Well, the good view is gone now. It may pop up a few more times before it is never ever seen again, but the "all credits" view and "full credits" view will have to suffice hereafter.

Actually it makes perfect sense and is grammatically correct for the English language. Why would anyone think that occupations should be capitalized? Also, it should guarantee standardization across IMDb, though that isn't always the case.

Whoever decided to lower case everyone's job title on IMDb with the new page design

Was there any basis for this claim?  The capitalization of job titles looks to me the same as before, i.e. inconsistent.

That's not the way IMDbPro works.

@rayrayrayray​ Thanks for the feedback ...

All IMDb needs to do is look at the feedback from real users on this post

This is as expected -- it takes time to appreciate any change. We covered this is more detail in our update last week at https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-name-page-redesign/6351563ae7100d725d54c0bb?commentId=63878b2b038ef261b8f4b7fb  and across this thread.  The new design tests better across a larger number of customer use cases, and all of the success criteria have been met or exceeded.   You may find the "All credits" view better suits your needs. 

@Col_Needham​ This is as expected -- it takes time to appreciate any change.

Yeah, about that... That's what you said last time you destroyed the layout too. I was whining way more that time, but eventually quit since it was as effective as talking to a brick wall. For my part, I never appreciated the previous design of the name page either. It was slightly less annoying than the current design, in that the page after loading actually had a little bit of useful credit information at the bottom of the screen, without having to scroll, whereas the new design has absolutely nothing other than a bloated picture, video and some useless bio-text on the opening screen, and all useful information buried far far down, and requiring a multitude of clicks to expand to full effect. The latter wasn't any better in the previous design either, I NEVER got used to having to click on any profession in order to expand that section, and that the page never remembered the expansion and place on the page when going back to the page through browser navigation (back). I don't expect I'll ever come to appreciate the current design either, even if I stop complaining about it. However, it can be mended, perhaps even fixed altogether, if you implement the various suggestions I've given in previous posts.

@samolak​ Thanks for the feedback. 

As explained earlier in this thread, the "All credits" page is not suitable as a landing page because the page only contains the credits and nothing else, sorry.  There's an unofficial browser script which achieves something closer to what you are seeking also on this thread. 

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.

There's a faster way which should not require any scrolling -- the "All Credits" view can be accessed from the "All topics" menu in the top right of the name pages,  please see the screengrab in https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-name-page-redesign/6351563ae7100d725d54c0bb?commentId=63878b2b038ef261b8f4b7fb

Hope this helps. 

@brianspike42​ There’s an unofficial browser script which can achieve this for you elsewhere on this thread.
