Title pages — new version available for sneak peek
IMDb is working on updates to the Title page. The new version of the page is mobile-responsive, meaning all features are available on devices of all sizes, and has a modern look and feel — otherwise it maintains all the functionality of the current page, though some features have moved on the page.
The new version of the page is available to a limited group of fans during a beta period. During the beta, some features are still under construction, and you may encounter bugs.
UPDATE: now available!

That turned into your misconception all the manner around with the weakest so known as source viable it really is located with a simple google search -a bot generated spam web page that uses a scraped old version of imdb statistics-
I simply said it wishes to be proved with a actual proof that you did no longer provide.

This is terrible. The old version allows you to see everything all at once. This is like looking at it on a mobile device. Ridiculous change. No reason for it. I really hope there is a classic view or whatever option added to settings to keep it the current way because along with all the other crap the intrusive take over from Amazon has caused I may for the first time in 15 years need to find a new site for movie info.
And for the record I don't use the mobile version of any informational sites including this one because all you do is scroll around trying to find what you want instead of entire cast and stuff on page. It is not user friendly and will cause nothing but a bunch of extra scrolling and crap including extra clicks to find info. Stop trying to make it cool and all pretty and just leave it in the informative format it is now.

Hello everyone!
I am sorry but i have been using the new version since the very first days and now i switched back to old version. i was patient, but always obfuscated. The new version is not good and i dont mean visually. In your way to make it responsive you have moved the info here and there without considering the way the info should be read, say, the left to right rule is not respected, among other primordial things, like the size of the date, or the genres. Obfuscated by the way the new version dictates my eye to look at the info: it feels like if reading a book and after the first line on top left of page, you would have to go look at bottom right of the next page to keep reading, and then back at the top right of the earlier page, and then to the bottom-left of the next one, and again to the top-left where you started. The spacing of the info is not good: you have to offer us sections where the eye naturally displaces after page is loaded, ltr sections here and there which shows a CLUSTER of hierarchized info, info of a certain type here (float :left), and a certain less important type there (float:right). It is the way the user reads -ltr- (which is the way we 'cognize') what determines the hierarchy and the size of the info: the old version has it PERFECT: title, date, rate, time, genre, release; poster, video, resume, and then, on the right -which comes as a blindspot for the eye- the less important info (imdb rate, votes etc). It would be wise if the new version would not break this structure. My advice to you guys is to respect the old version logic as it is well-thought and helps us to displace quickly on each page!

The new site in my opinion really has gone backwards.
How can it be removed so it more like the previous version

Horrible. As every single change IMDb does.

The mix of dark and light theme is tiring for eyes. The preference for white or black varies among people, but I doubt anyone want those mixed on the same page.

I would suggest to use the horizontal space better. The page is indeed responsible to look better on narrow devices, but on large screens do not adapt well to use all horizontal space instead of more scroll.
Even on narrow devices, starting with "Storyline" and down the design is limited to a column less that whole screen width, with white space unused to the right.

Wow, just wow ... did you get a bunch of 90 year olds with ZERO vision to redesign the page? This is the worst redesign I've seen in a long, long time, for any site. Everything is like 5 times larger than it needs to be -- the fonts, the images, the whitespace -- EVERYTHING! After using IMDB for over 20 years, I'm not sure how this ever made it past the "you've got to be kidding" phase of a redesign. I'm on desktop, for the record. And just, NO!

Issue #1: the new "add to list" button is way too inconspicous, especially if the movie's poster has a black background:
It took me a while to find it, and that's knowing it existed, it looks like a plus sign, and was there somewhere. Most new users (who therefore don't know there a list function and what the button is supposed to look like) will most likely not find it. The button should really be separate from the movie poster and much more visible.
Issue #2: When submitting feedback about the new design on the feedback form:
Once you click "Next" it simply thanks you for your feedback, without allowing you to explain what exactly was wrong in the webpage. Therefore, this form is currently almost useless. I assume this is a bug with the form.
Issue #3: It appears you cannot log into this Community page with your regular IMDb account, having to create an entirely new account. Many people who otherwise would provide valuable feedback will not want to go through the hassle of creating a new account just to post it. I almost didn't! This page should be integrated with the normal IMDb website login.

I assume this is a case of growing so accustomed to something it becomes unnoticeable, but the section layout has always been a mess. Having the little plot summary w/ a few cast followed by photos, then extended cast/crew, then similar films (!), then detailed plot, etc....it's so random it's nonsensical. I think "info at a glance" is important to have on sites like this but with imdb you have to scroll through everything to get key info. Please put the details section on the top of the page, or better yet customization sort/hide options in user cp. I'd use the site 10 times as much if I could hide all sections I don't need. As it is I typically just google a film cuz I can see the info much quicker that way than searching on imdb.

I honesty cannot see where the 'new' format is an improvement. The current format tells me everything that I need, at a glance (including date released) at the top of the page. The only improvement I would like to see to the 'old' format is the inclusion of category. For example, when looking up a Warner Bros. cartoon, tell me (accurately please) if it was released as a 'Looney Tunes' or 'Merrie Melodies'. In any case, major thumbs down on the 'new' format.

Just reviewed the preview and quickly switched back. This new design is frustrating for a number of reasons.
Your design team is wrong. PLEASE do not deploy this permanently!

I wanted to make some comments about the recent/new changes to the IMDB site (the design which is evidently being phased in). The original IMDB is--at least to me--more convenient to use. The new design is not, I think, as user-friendly. The original format allowed one to get a quick (and comprehensive) overview of a show, say, or of someone's career. With the new format, it seems, you have to click on too many different areas, to get the same full sense of things. I hope IMDB will re-consider the changes which are being implemented--and that IMDB will (at least in part) bring back some of the stylistic features of the original site. Thanks.
