Updates to the Ratings pages and functionality
Today we have made several updates to our Ratings pages and functionality. We have improved the design of the ratings details page to give it a cleaner, more modern look.
We have also made several changes, listed below. These changes only impact the Your Ratings page on the IMDb desktop Website. You may find much of this information by creating and running custom searches on the AdvancedTitle Search page. For example, to see comedy titles you have rated, sorted by your rating, see this advancedsearch. Or, to see titles you have rated that are in the IMDb Top250 list, see this advancedsearch.
What did we change?
1. We removed the Compact list view. This was accessible from the far right icon (see A in the screen capture below). The grid view and detailed list view are still available.
2. We updated the “Sort by” dropdown box. It now provides the two most popular choices: Most Recent (previously called Recently Rated) and Top Rated (previously Your Rating). Sort by: Your rating, Title A-Z, Release date (US),Number of votes, IMDb rating, and Popularity were removed. See B in the screen capture below.
3. We removed the Refine ratings filters options from the Your Ratings page on the desktop site. See C in the screen capture below.
4. We removed the Find More Titles tab. See D in the screen capture below.

5. We removed the Recommended for You section on the User/Ratings page.
6. We changed the format of data in the Ratings Export. You can export your ratings to Excel by clicking the new overflow menu (the 3 vertical dots) above your list in the updated experience, and choosing Export.
There are many ways to find new titles to watch. IMDb users can use Advanced Search, look through the recommendations for new titles to watch under People who liked this also liked... on any title page, or see Top Rated Movies.
Thank you for your continued support.

I used to be able to sort my ratings by genre, tv series, episodes, videogames, or film.
But now I am only able to sort it by "top rated" and "neweste ratings".
Why would IMDB take away the previous functions? Why make it worse?

These can be used to sort all advanced title results, including obviously your ratings history and any lists, as well as general search queries.
For example, all titles you have rated in most recently rated order @ http://www.imdb.com/search/title?count=250&my_ratings=restrict&sort=your_rating_date&vie...
All movies you have rated in most recently rated order @ http://www.imdb.com/search/title?count=250&my_ratings=restrict&sort=your_rating_date&tit...
All 2017 movies you have seen in ratings order, detailed view @ http://www.imdb.com/search/title?count=100&my_ratings=restrict&release_date=2017,2017&so...

There used to be an "export" option on the User Ratings page, but now it is gone. How can I download a user's rating into an excel spreadsheet?

Thank you. Is an option like that available when viewing another user's ratings? (The 3-dots are not appearing when viewing other users' ratings).

Recently you change the IMDb rating system so now you can't see you ratings in A-Z, or is
there so way to see the titles your rate in this row!

I've used this to find out what the name of the film I've watched was, and many other occations. Now it's impossible to go back without using hours and hours to click.
Please bring this functionality back.
It's a main reason to use imdb, otherwise one will have to make another list to sort this out.
The most important are sorting by rating and sorting by date.
If this is not coming back, I hope it will be possible to transfer this to an excel-sheet, though that really is no good substitution.

3. We removed the Refine ratings filters options from the Your Ratings page on the desktop site. See C in the screen capture below.
I use the filters on my ratings as part of my job working in public library. I don't see how this is helpful. I was trying to pull up a list of all of the 2017 movies that I rated this year, but found that this is no longer possible. I ended up having to quess by showing all of my results and hand-counting all movies with a 2017 release date. I can't be the only person who uses their ratings in this way. Why would sorts and filters only be available for my watchlist but not for my ratings? If anything, the ratings and watchlist items could be integrated into one view (much like you would find on Goodreads for books) with the sorts and filters (and hell, a batch edit feature) in one place. If IMDb is no longer catering to the personal user what is the point of this site?

Yes, "your ratings" page now lacks boxes for selecting genre & TV/Short/film etc & year sliders. If anything they should have ADDED a checkbox for different decades which I and probably other users would find useful.
....Currently "Your ratings" -page has only two options to sort by: most recent/top rated... and the latter doesn't even work, at least for me at the moment. Really weak.
I guess I'll have to access these features through "advanced search" then, if possible.
-
Having said that....
Under "my profile" ...clicking "see more" you can still select for example westerns that you have seen and sort them with various methods - which is good.
-
A suggestion:
I have longed for long time on actor's/director's etc personal page an option to click a link which would bring me to a list of their films I have rated.
....For example on Harrison Ford's page a link which would search for me all his films I have rated from best to worst.
I use this kind of search A LOT and always have to do it through "advanced search".
So how about adding features instead of removing them.... I double dare you.
-
Oh and one more thing... I really like the feature of being able to download your own ratings as Excel file (or csv).
That's probably the most important feature of IMDB for me at the moment. Advanced search is very important as well. I've already voiced my opinion on film review filters (get them back).
More power to power users. Forget mobile kiddies... they will switch to any site which is "cool" at the moment...

Perhaps because you didn't tap the 3-vertical-dot menu icon to the right of the title Your Ratings.
Elsewhere you posted
I'm not clear to what you refer. Perhaps Compact view? Yes, that's gone with the Dec 6 update. But a compact view (with only sort features, and the ability to add titles to the Watchlist) exists in Advanced Title Search. Plenty of lobbying going on in the thread to which your questions are very likely to be merged: Update to List Pages.

Hello, before today the last time I exported my user ratings list was on November 29, and the titles were correctly displayed in my (Italian) language. I re-downloaded the list today (because of the additional votes I have cast in the meanwhile) and unfortunately the movies are now displayed under their original titles, which make a lot of them hardly recognizable. Eg. "Kimi no na wa." for a film known in Italy as "Your Name.", "Demain tout commence" instead of "Famiglia all'improvviso - Istruzioni non incluse", "Chugyeogja" in place of "The Chaser" and
"Hummingbird" instead of "Redemption".
Could you fix this issue and restore the user's default language to the movies in the list as to make the list immediately comprehensible?
