IMDb Web Name and Title Subpages Redesign

Hi @ACT_1​ -

We are dialing up incrementally, this is why you may not yet be seeing the changes.

@Michelle​ 😀

all done by tomorrow?? 🙄

27,430,000 Titles
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27430000/

14,725,000 Names
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14725000/

https://www.imdb.com/pressroom/stats/

As of Dec 2022 ??

.

Hi @ACT_1​ -

Unfortunately, I cannot confirm a specified date; though as we are gradually displaying the changes it should be available to you shortly.

@Michelle​ 😀

Make up a little bar graph of progress ??
[==========] 10% of 14,725,000 Names (?)

.

@ACT_1​ I don't think they activate it on "name pages", rather they are opening it to "users" slowly. So if the feature was activated for you, you would see the "all" name pages with new design, not some of them.

@mbmb 😀

Start at the beginning ?? ...

Fred Astaire (1899-1987)

@ACT_1​ 

To reinforce what mbmb said, IMDb has demonstrated in the past that software roll-outs are done not page-by-page, but by regions or other sub-groups of users. Evidence: they have sometimes turned OFF a new release until they correct something, and people reporting things about new format pages while others still see the old format.

@justin_6415368​ Thanks for highlighting this.  It is a bug and will be reported to the appropriate team.  In the meantime, the information is still available on the main name page.  Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Thank you for your feedback. This issue has been fixed and the relative notes should be available on the bio page now. Please let us know if you are still experiencing any issues.

@jakub_7542677​ - thank you for reaching out about the redesigned awards page. The new page preserves priority display of prestigious awards and, as part of the redesign, subsequently orders awards based on most recent nomination or win year. This is based on customer research and suggestions - but I have shared your feedback with our team for future consideration.

Please feel free to provide feedback and suggestions on any feature at any time. We value your opinion, and thank you for using IMDb!

@Kevin_Powell 

Is there any way to see it as it was before? The new look is really chaotic :-(. I mean something liek when you check the actors credits, you can view it as a text as it used to be bofere, so is there something similar?

@jakub_7542677​ - Like all redesigned IMDb pages, and by and large for all websites, IMDb does not support a way to view the previous page layouts. However, please feel free to recommend updates to any page features or designs - I will ensure they are passed along to the team. Thanks. 

@Kevin_Powell​ I get that, but what I think is like, for example, if you view an actor's credits, there's the option of "view all credit (text only)" and it looks like the "old" way. Maybe it would be a good idea to do the same for the awards list. And also one question...why do I see it different on my computer (the old way) and on my phone's web browser (the new design)?? Thnaks. 

@Kevin_Powell​ 

Regarding "prestigious awards", perhaps it could be time to recognize that for example Cannes Film Festival awards are fairly prestigious. Especially if a film won the Palme d'Or, that could be prioritized and even featured on the main title page.

@Kevin_Powell

any suggestion please? As I see, many users are not satisfeid and to be honest it is a pure mess. Non alphabetical order, chaotic order of  wins and nominations etc. Can someone bring the previous version back? This new design is one of the worst things I've seen here throughout the whole time. Thanks. 

@Peter_pbn - I've shared your prestigious awards feedback to our teams. IMDb does review the category on an ongoing basis, and we will keep your recommendation in mind going forward. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, and please reach out again about any issue at any time.

@jakub_7542677​ - I've shared your and other frustrations with the team. Like all features, we prioritize customer feedback to inform how to improve entertainment search and discovery experiences. We will keep recommendations in mind as we prioritize further feature enhancements - feel free to share your thoughts on this and other features at any time. And thank you for using IMDb!

@mbmb​ - thank you for flagging the mini-bio bug. The team has prioritized a fix. We appreciate your proactive feedback to ensure we preserve a high bar for customer experiences. Please feel free to reach out at any time about any issue. And thank you for being a valued IMDb customer!

@Horst​ Can not agree more. Still wondering if there is a chance to view it somehow as it was before :-( 

This is awful. I just had to click extra to see Sam Raimi's directing credits because apparently he has starred in more films as an actor. Mathematics is not always the key, imdb folks. Just display it all.
