Can I get the old layout back? I find the new layout almost impossible to navigate on my pc web browser. Is there a way to revert back to the superior layout we had before?

I don't like the new look of the page. It takes more space than the previous version, meaning more clicks to get around. Even worse, it feels like it runs slower than the older version (more JavaScript?). There is a pronounced and irritating latency before I'm able to page down to get to the content, whereas the older version presented useful information at the very top of the page, and was immediately responsive to scrolling down the page.
It's bad enough that I'm actively looking for alternatives. Congratulations for taking something good and messing it up.

Using Win7, Firefox64. Just cleared my browser history, and so had to log back into imdb. View is totally different on each title, with each page looking like the home page. I found in my user settings where I can select "Show Reference View With Full Cast And Crew" and this gets pages for movies to look close to what I had before (white background, vertical layout), but isn't quite what I had. I don't want to see the FULL cast and crew (makeup, stunts, camera and electrical department) by default. Used to be I could select a link to expand the list.
So how do I get back to what I'm calling "classic view" that I had just a few hours ago? It was in style like the Reference View, but had the content of the normal view with a section for pictures from the movies above the top cast, and then things like trivia, reviews, parents guide, etc.
Help?

I guess me clearing my browser history/cookies was a mistake. Now I can't get back to the view I had just a few hours ago. HATE the new layout. I'm on a PC (win7, Firefox). I MUCH preferred the style of pages before. Yes, I can enable "reference view", but that gives WAY too long a list of crew and doesn't seem to have all the content I had before.
Please offer a "Classic View" that has the content of the new style, but in the layout that was previously available.

I've tried using the new IMDB page a few times now, and the layout is so bad, I won't be back. Wikipedia works fine.
The last version of your page was by far better, IMHO. I have an android, my sister an Iphone, and we both have home PCs. On all 3, your new site is terrible.

This is awful. Everything is way too BIG!!!!
It's literally like being screamed at by the internet.
It all takes up too much space. There is absolutely no need for all the spacing, huge thumbnail pictures and large font.
IMDB has been my favourite place to come to for information on movies and television for years, everything was easy to find, all the information was right there, in neat small type and logical order, cast was listed, which I much prefer to having them spread right across my screen, and what is with the HUGE photographs?
I cannot use this, it's just not user friendly for me, so I am now looking for somewhere else to find the information I need.
I miss the old IMDB pages, it's such a shame, but I do not enjoy being screamed at by internet pages, I find it offensive.
Please bring back the old format, or tweak this one to make it smaller, and less aggressive..
If not I have to hope there is somewhere else for me.
I really hope you didn't pay a lot for this upgrade.. It wasn't worth it in my opinion...

Dear IMDB,
You've done to imdb what windows 10 is to windows 7 - a horrible new interface with too much wasted "white space" - sorry you failed. :(

The new page manages to look commercial (like a full-page ad for something like, say, toilet-bowl cleaner) and amateurish at the same time. The old page was a marvel, one of the most sensible Web pages I've ever seen, in the sense that it displayed an incredible amount of detailed information in a compact and easily-digested format. Except for a line of fluff at the start (something I always ignored and skipped, suggestions of similar movies or some such irrelevance), each page was a great model for anyone trying to achieve something similar. All that is gone now. "Reference view" is an improvement but still inferior to the old page. Do I really need a crew list down to the key grip and the boom boy? Not really. The old page hit the magic number - all the important stuff (like alternate titles, DVD release details, etc) without getting ridiculous.

Is there any chance in the release date of a title getting back on top of the page under the title next to the running time?
Also: Since the update the plot outline in the local language is gone. It shows only the english plot outline with no button to change the language or add one in another language. Is this coming back?

Did you actually TEST this new format? Ask people for feedback? Because it just isn't as good as the old one. The display of the cast is separate from the story line which is very annoying. And it isn't as well laid out as it was.

Holy moly, this is bad. I stuck with IMDb when they took away the incredibly invaluable message boards. I may not stick with them through this. Might as well use Letterboxd. Please revert to the old layout!
