List-Like Pages Beta

Hi,

I can see see (1) italics and (2) bolding are both still working.

I cannot see (3) underlining. I use underlining a lot for clarity, example:

1 season / 26 episodes: Series Complete

[u]1 season / 20 episodes[/u]: [i]Series Complete[/i]

Really would love underlining to come back.

On the actual list page, it also underlines underneath the SlashBar so it looks nicer (I am not seeing it happen within this editor now, maybe I'll see it after I post).

Here's how I use my diary list of films at the moment. I add a title to my list. I reverse the list and add my watched date in the edit box.

The 'new' version means I will have to scroll through 8250 titles, 100 titles at a time to get to my latest addition to put the watched date in!

When I enable the reverse function in the upcoming version title number 8250 becomes number 1 when reversed - and I can't add a note to it. There is no edit option.

Hope this can be addressed somehow.

I notice that we need the new list GUI. I am able to create video lists. For example: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls528609358/

That is the best thing in the world. I was not able to craft such list with the old GUI. Does that mean that we will be able to make video Polls? It would be insane. In fact, could I start making such polls right now?

I must say I prefer the previous version. I often download my watchlist as a csv. This used to be quick, the download would start almost as soon as I clicked it. Now I have to go to a separate export page, which takes quite a while to generate and is not named WATCHLIST.csv anymore, which make downstream processing a tad more of a hassle. Also the list now contains inaccuracies. In my settings I prefer to keep the original title of the film, which was also respected in my watchlist exports, not anymore. For example, "Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo" has now become "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Furthermore, it seems to use the US release date in the export, not the first release date as it would previously. Also, the runtime is different (the new version seems correct at 178 minutes, 161 is US release). Finally, the date, which used to follow ISO 8601 (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd) has now become mm/d/yy which is a very odd decision to make, wouldn't you agree? see example below:


CSV old:
2,tt0060196,2011-10-04,2011-10-04,,"Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo",https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060196/,movie,8.8,161,1966,"Adventure, Western",807200,1966-12-23,Sergio Leone,10,2011-10-07

Csv new
2,tt0060196,10/4/11,10/4/11,,"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly",https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060196/,Movie,8.8,178,1967,"Adventure, Western",807200,12/29/67,"Sergio Leone",10,10/7/11

I would like to thank this update. I've been long waiting for having more filters on the search feature in listings.

But, the lack of a filter made me disappointed. I don't understand why the ratings list don't have the title type available as the other lists have. I would so much like to search all the tv shows I've rated.

No longer showing the names of all of the directors on films with multiple directors? I understand the urge to save space, but this is misleading. With stars, it's implied that there are many more than three people acting in a film. But with directors, if users see something that says, "Director: Phillips Smalley", they're going to assume that Phillips Smalley was the one and only person directing that film, when in fact it was also directed by Lois Weber, a noted pioneer in early film.

It would be one thing to just omit displaying uncredited directors and co-directors (like the numerous names attached to Gone with the Wind, for example), but doing it this way ignores those rare instances where a film is directed in more or less equal collaboration between two or more individuals. See for instance the films of the Coen brothers, the majority of films in the Disney animated canon, etc. The system currently in place here just thoughtlessly favors whichever director happens to come first alphabetically and wrongly makes it look like they worked alone.

William Cottrell was one of five sequence directors who worked under the supervision of one supervising director to make this film. Does it look messy to have six names listed under "director"? Sure, but the alternative is wrong. At the very least, it should say something like "William Cottrell, et al."

switched to the new user experience and noticed that while the date formats were uniform and correct in the old CSV export files (ratings, watchlist) now the date formats are suddenly all over the place. Can you just use the same uniform date format for all dates that you had before?

New edit list page must be a joke: no pagination and sorting means the lists with more than 100 titles are nearly unmanageable now.

@bderoes and others in this thread have summed up pretty much everything that's wrong with the new list view and edit pages.

Please, refine these changes, the new look and modern adaptive standards should not come with the price of cut functionality and poorer usability.

It would be super great if in the new watchlist page, the detailed view could include release dates

On the Android App I can sort my ratings by the type of contente (TV Episode, Film, Videogame) but on the web is not possible to do that. Am I doing anything wrong?

@Col_Needham​      I checked today. Looks like the watchlist csv dates improved a lot, however the ratings csv  shows no change yet.

Usability of old list design is better for me. At least you guys can keep the "old" compact view feature at the new design.

I can see films i rated, films i didn't rate, IMDb ratings and my ratings easily when using "compact view" feature of the list pages.

This is compact view of new design... Not compact enough... Almost same with "detailed view" feature.

This is old compact view:

At actor/actress pages it is easier to see IMDb ratings, your ratings and films you missed with old design's compact view too.

For me this old fashioned compact view is great:

So! I now realaized that when I moving a round a lot of titels in a list so can I not move more then 1 titel ina row, Is it how it going to work from when the new layout going online? Or do I doing somthing wrong,

Before could I select 20 titel and put in where (the position number) I whanted for every titel and then scrool up to the begining of the list where you have a save buttom.

The new image list design is kind of neat, but alternative views might be nice.

@bderoes mentioned that the Copy feature isn't there (other than in edit mode) Some of us use it as an alternative view for image lists because it shows the image titles and descriptions.
