INTRODUCING: Updated IMDb.com Title page experience

@linux_lad 

Sorry, no, this is all I see:

That has to do with the difference between the way the two browsers process HTML (along with CSS) and render web pages. Apparently, Firefox may not allow scroll bars to be deleted, so to speak. Technically there is at least one trick (for web developers) to accomplish the elimination of inline scroll bars in the perspective of Firefox, though. Cutom scrollbars can be created via Scalable Vector Graphics too, but making them functional seems to require JavaScript.

I can't remember the last time a I visited an IMDb photo gallery without JavaScript enabled, but it was probably two years ago. I do notice that certain things don't load unless JavaScript is enabled, which allows a sort of detection of whether particular web page elements are visible in the browser window at given moment.

@ApplePie  We have not made any changes to the name pages.  It sounds like you have selected the “Name page: Display acting credits separately for Movie and TV” option on the site preferences page by accident — you should be able to reset this yourself.

For more information, please see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/site-preferences/GDL9NWJRKWRH5L6K 

Hope this helps.

@delmedia

I don't think he's "willing" to explain. Rather he is stubbornly telling us we don't know what we want and we don't know what is best for us. Sad as it is, that means no more use of IMDB. It's not worth it if they act and think like that. Instead we have to migrate to https://www.metacritic.com/movie/the-godfather  .

@ACT_1 

Jeff Bezos is going to space.

New Amazon boss is Andy Jassy, he has twitter account, we should write him and tell him that we don't like new IMDb layout because it is tooooo slow and clunky and messy and not user friendly at all and did I mention too slow and clunky?!? 😵😵

@plur62 

and tell Andy Jassy there are way too many irritating annoying ads for Amazon products 😜

The previous design for the mobile web browser was different from this odd amalgamation of the respective experiences for desktop and mobile. It's like the designers took the stuff that is present the the desktop web interface but was absent from the mobile web interface, and just crammed it all in there, and then decided to turn the rectangular thumbnail images into bubble thumbnail images.

We should bear in mind that a lot of the posts within this thread were created from other threads. If this thread is closed, the forum administrator won't have anywhere to redirect new posts pertaining to the same subject matter. I surmise that that thread won't be closed until it has gone several months without receiving a new response message.

Then Everyone will be Happy Happy Happy with the New View 😃😃😃

or may not and just gave up 🤢🤢🤢

The last redesign? In 2010? That may have been a thing on the old message boards native to IMDb·Com, but it is not the way this forum on Sprinklr is managed. I'm not aware of a single public thread that was created by an IMDb employee and subsequently deleted or pulled from publication.

IMDb Testing Help Requested: Title and Name Page Redesign 
by bbsadmin
Tue Aug 24 2010 

.

As explained many times by Col Needham, every post on the old Contributors Help board (and the whole BBS to which it belonged) was doomed to public deletion (HTTP error 404), no matter what, due to the expiry mechanism. That isn't a problem on the forum hosted through Sprinklr, and likewise it wasn't a problem on the forum hosted through GetSatisfaction. To my knowledge, none of the announcement-type threads here (which can only be created by IMDb employees) are ever deleted. Some of them have been locked, though. I've been trying to explain to people that the IMDb company's present habits have been a little different from how they have historically been. Whilst a lot of undesirable consequences (like loss of functionality, e.g. RSS feeds) have been observed in the software upgrades taking place since late 2016, the IMDb company has also been clamping down on spam, fraud and abuse directed toward the website. On the next note, I cannot say for sure, but maybe some tyrannical employees got let go as well.

@Chris_Park

The Colonel likes it. And the aggressive marketing and unskilled UI/UX teams  responsible for this disaster must like it, or at least pretend they do. 

Three, four or five people have stated that they like the new design and see it as an improvement over the previous.

@jeorj_euler 

Of course, just like the dung beetle that prefers to eat feces whereas most other species of beetles prefer to eat plants and fruits.

At least feces can be gotten rid of, even if by devouring. Haha.

Trivia   (added  here for jeorj_euler)
The dog feces in the infamous final scene are real. 
According to director John Waters, 
the dog was fed steak for three days beforehand.
Divine's reaction to eating it was real.

After eating the dog feces, 
Divine called a hospital emergency hot line the night 
after filming the scene pretending to be a mother 
asking that her child ate dog feces, 
they told her the worst thing that could happen 
was the boy might get white worms.

@stefano_stefano For me, almost the same. So far, the Rate button takes seconds to load. In other words, it's slower than in the previous versions. And that's bad enough. And I'd say the same with the Watchlist button.

@stefano_stefano

You are not the only one experiencing slower issues with page loading.

Several others, including myself are experiencing delays in the loading and displaying of icons, images, menus, inputs, etc. 

The new catastrophic design is not the only negative aspect about it since IMDB staff and employees can argue that it is subjective, regardless that 99.9 percent of the comments here and everywhere else have been negative, but what they can't defend or argue against is the fact that the slower behavior of this new design has reduced overall functionality.

OK, since my problem is completely ignored and new page is partly unusable I will move away - after nearly 20 years of this platform...

@ACT_1

@HHenning Sorry for the delayed reply.  As noted earlier in this thread, check-in with comments is not supported at the moment.

You can still check-in without comments by adding the title directly to your check-in list from the list menu on each title page, however, check-in with comments is not yet supported.  The model implementation of lists at IMDb is on our iOS app and it does at least already support adding notes / comments to check-ins.  The website and Android app are currently behind on list support, but should eventually catch-up to iOS, however, we cannot commit to a specific launch date at this stage, sorry. 

Thank you for answer,

is there a way to open the website in old way with working check-in?

@HHenning No sorry, the software driving the old title pages is in the process of being retired. 

OK, I see in IOS also no chance to use this feature - am I searching on wrong place?

Check-in with comments (still) works in the Android app.

@HHenning  On the iOS app tap the “You” tab in the bottom right of any page; on the next page you will see “Lists” at the top — tap there to view your lists and open “Your Check-Ins.” You will see your check-ins there along with previous notes / comments. To add a new comment to any entry, tap the three dots “…” to the right of the entry and you will see this menu: 

tap “Add note” to add a comment. 

Hope this helps. 

Hello,

no, only:

Add to list

Rate Title

Check-In

Share

there.

Its from the german IOS Store.

@HHenning It’s the three dots to the right of the title while viewing the “Your Check-Ins” list, not on the title page itself.  

I am using IMDB on a Windows 10 PC. There is no three dots to the right. The three dots only exist on a mobile phone display, not on a PC.

@Aussiecubs Check-in seems only possible on mobiles (phones or tablets), and since the update only in the app with comments. In the browser only with adding to the list „check in“ without comments.

@HHenning Sorry, I missed your update on this.  Please can you let us know the device model, iOS version and IMDb app version which you are using?  

Here is my "Your Check-ins" page and I have highlighted the "..." on the right of the first title (in red) which you would tap to access the menu containing the "Add Note" option:

@Aussiecubs From the right panel of the reference view, you can click "User Ratings" in the "Opinion" section.

Hi pascal_baspeyras. Thank you so much for your tip on how to work around this problem. A great timesaver.

I am so disappointed in the new Web design, but at least your tip leaves me with a manageable option to stay using the much more efficient reference view.

However IMDB should simply fix this fault.

Cheers  pascal_baspeyras from Melbourne, Australia.

Glad I could help!

Me too I've switched to the reference view. The new design has all the data, except that you have to play Where's Waldo? to find it. It's not a matter of changing your habits, the real issue is that the new design has a much lower data density. You have to inspect the whole screen, from left to right, from top to bottom, in hope to find what you want. And the many different font sizes and colors make the task even harder. You end up scrolling many pages, each time concentrating very hard to not miss the data.

It's such a downgrade! Even if the IMDb had to change their background system to use more modern tools, it's always possible to display the data any way they want. There's the data and there's the way you display it, which is quite distinct. If they wanted, they could very easily have a page that looks exactly like before they changed their tools.

Very bad decision, IMDb. You don't make any ad revenue from the reference view you're forcing us to use...

@Mantacat Yes, filming locations (and significantly more content) is now available on title pages when viewed on a mobile device. You can find locations in the “Details” section — perhaps you are looking at a title which does not yet have any locations? Here is one which does -> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9620292/  

Alternatively you can use the “All topics” menu in the upper right of the page; locations are in the “Details” menu under “Filming and production”

with the menu open: 

Hope this helps.
