IMDb Redesigns Name Full Credits
We are excited to announce the launch of IMDb’s redesigned Name Full Credits feature! Previously, to view all of a person’s credits, you needed to navigate to a separate page. Now, we have made it easier to view all credits directly from the Name main page, removing the need for the separate full credits subpage. To view all credits, simply click the ‘All credits’ link at the top of the credits list. This will remove the default filters and show all credits. You can also enable this feature from the Filters menu. These enhancements reflect changes suggested by IMDb customers, as well as our own in-depth research designed to enhance entertainment content, discovery, and navigation.
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.

When IMDB changed to its current layout, you could still view the original (much easier to read) layout for credits by going to the all topics button and selecting the view all credits button. As of today (25/6/24) this option has disappeared. I do hope this is just a bug.

While I'll never prefer the new look or functionality of the site to the previous version, I feel this is an improvement, the new name pages were hugely frustrating to use and I hate pop-ups, this reduces both those things, so that's a big plus.
I know some (maybe everyone) will not like the loss of the old 'all credits' layout but it was no doubt part of the old look and on borrowed time, I'll miss it but I hope, the improvements to make the site easier to use keep happening.
I hope improving search results is a thing that will happen soon, making name attributes appear without overriding section info, and archive footage/thanks not appear blank.
Maybe even listing more than one section, if they've multiple on their page. Lots of stuff could be done here to make finding pages easier.

Hey if I didn't read any news or hear anything. What happing to the celebrity's full credits page on IMDb? In the blue button that has the three bars that opens up when you touch it, it doesn't have the link where you can click and see all the person's credits on a different page. Is there a big change going on or is there some kind of problem that still being fixed? I need to know please.

For those customers already in the group with access to this new view, it has been temporarily reverted to the previous view while we address another issue. We hope to restore it next week.

A quick update ... the new view is now live again and currently available to 50% of customers.

Well I missed the first change and it has now changed whilst I was away from the screen for 30 minutes. So I'd like to echo several of those above in saying the old Credits text only view was the one I mainly used.
So does this customer feedback warrant any response?
Like so many IMDb changes it just seems to happen with no advance warning.

A trivial thing.... but, it bothered me enough to go looking and do some digging.
Honestly, at first I thought I was crazy... was watching old episodes of The Newsroom, saw a writers name pop up that I thought I recognized and wanted to see what other episodes of a different series they had written. This is something that I've done often, something that I've used IMDB for, for 25 years. All of the sudden the "full credits" option has disappeared...no longer lined up, neat and clean, a simple listing of every episode a writer(or director/producer) has been credited for on a series. I sat there for 15 minutes trying to find the old option, got frustrated, wondering if I'd gone mad... Downloaded the app(I prefer using the browser version) and basically figured out how to find a similar, not the same, option.
Anyway, I'm glad I'm not crazy, and im not the only one that was bothered by the change...Its sad to see such a wonderful tool for cinephiles and TV junkies continually become less and less informative, less and less usable.
Sorry for all the words...

Today I attempted to go to the Credits (text only) page of a profile only to find it was no longer available. I then tried accessing it through Google Search, but it redirected to the New Name Page. I really hope that IMDB has not decided to do away with the Credits (text only) pages. I seriously dislike the New Name Page, to the point where I might no longer use IMDB. Personally, I wish IMDB would do away with the New Name Page and return to pages as they were prior to 2022. The old Name Page design was faster and easier to use.

I seem to have both the new (sort of) and old versions - which is great. At the top right of the name page is the "All Topics" option. Click that and see "All Credits", which takes me to the text only page. Perfect. Is that going to change.
On the name page, I scroll down to see the credits with the pictures. The only option is to "Expand All", but all that does is expand all of the credits with the pictures.
If nothing else changes on my page, I'm happy.
