IMDb Name Page Redesign

redesign is garbage. please give us an option to go back. please!

This new format is counter-intuitive when trying to look through someone's credits. They take up way too much space when scrolling - why do I need to see a small image of the poster for everything? And to got to a fourth job category, I need to scroll all the way up, somehow scroll sideways through a list (which took way too long to figure out) - just like when boxofficemojo was changed, this is definitely for the worse and makes me not want to use the site anymore.

...sorry but i don't see the improvement!!

tiny little pictures of the actors in "Cast Summary" is only one of the changes that are absolutly no improvement.

visiting imdb is one of my daily rutines and i must say the design was great!!

easy to navigate, good oversight of information and easy to follow details about the movie/tv show or actor/crew member.

now not so much anymore!

keep in mind, never touch a good running system

thx

I see the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" comments each time anything gets a redesign on IMDb and it should be noted that sometimes that's not how it works with the websites. Due to constant updates in html protocols and whatnot a lot of older websites who never had the money to constantly tweak the code actually started to slowly decompose and rot away. A cult pop culture website X-Entertainment is a notable example and i just crumbled one day, leaving people who loved it in a void until he site's creator opened a new one. 

Then there's another issue: I believe that until recently IMDb Pro and IMDb worked on different engines, which was basically maintaining two websites and having to double check the backwards compatibility between the two constantly.  I recognize a lot of the new features as something that was on IMDb Pro for years at this point and is actually rather useable if you adjust to it. 

The new design SUCKS! - please return the site to its former look.

The new IMDb Name Page Redesign is a disaster

I checked out the Alpha/Beta version they did about 6 months or so ago and ALL the comments were negative, IMDB saw those comments and said "we've reviewed all your comments and will make changes to our proposed new setup" they've actually gona away, come back and just implamented their new design (which is actually worse than their proposed design!!!!) without any further consultation! IMDB READ OUR COMMENTS IT WAS PERFECT AS IT WAS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PUT IT BACK AS IT WAS!!!!

How can I go back to the old format?

This might be okay for films, but for TV actors it's a pain having to navigate through several screens.

It's quite user-unfriendly.

I muuuuuuuuch prefer the older design on names page, how to revert?

As usual, every new version of IMDB pages is uglier and less practical than the previous ones. A few years ago, when the homepage was redesigned, I got rid of it in the shortcuts of my navigator and replaced it by the "Movie News" page which had kept the old design. This new Name Page has too much big pictures and videos, useless content boxes on the right side that eat one third of the page, and you have to scroll down a lot more to get the information you need. All these websites redesigned for cell phones are garbage! Please go back to more text and less pictures/animations.

I entered a comment a few days ago. My email is now flooded with the responses of other people in which I am not at all interested. How do I get out of this unending circle of hell?

I really hate it. The credits are unreadable. I'm not sure why the "known for" items are considered better when the image (that thing worth a thousand words) is a quarter size. The credit text may be the same size but now that there are useless tiny images next to them I have to scroll a lot further.

Maybe I'm unusual but I don't care about the categories of credits. I don't care that an actor has directed an episode of some show. I do care about which cast members have worked together in other productions, and which directors favor which actors. I can see where you would want to include that information, but it was plenty available with the last design, and there is no need to take up so much space with new buttons and collapse features.

Seriously, I hate it. I spent several minutes convinced I was on a mobile page, starting a new tab, restarting my browsers, trying an incognito browser, etc. I finally realized that it had been on purpose, and was sad to think this was the beginning of the end of IMDb, my good friend for many years.

To see people complaining here is interesting, since comparably to a similar recent change on YouTube, there was a lot of work with feedback. YouTube just changed quite a few things that partially demolished functionality (for example, you can't view videos in a chronological grid from the oldest on the channel which I used all the time).  

This reminds me of the Box Office Mojo changes, which were so bad I stopped using Box Office Mojo.
