Still no foreign dub credits?

Why are there no foreign dub credits on IMDb? As someone who doesn't use English as first language, and with dubs getting better and better, It's nice to know what languages are available for a film and who has performed on them.

You cannot like or dislike Trivia for actors anymore

This was a great feature, and while on the iOS app it still shows how many out of people who linked it, the thumbs up or down is still shown, however this is not reflected on the website.

Why is NBR rating getting priority over PCA/MPA ratings

National Board of Review (NBR) is an American organization which used to be an "unofficial clearinghouse for new movies" in the early 20th century; producers then submitted their films to the board before making release prints. Thousands of films carried the "Passed by the National Board of Review"

Ratings: Ratings can be skewed and can completely misrepresent the actual quality of a movie/series

Add categories for trivia (similar to goofs)

The trivia sections are one of my favourites on IMDB. Unfortunately, they sometimes get very cluttered, especially for particularly popular films or series. Personally, I usually have a limited interest in for example trivia of the sort "A worked with B in film C". Now, although this matter has been

Missing Titles in ‘You’ List Searches

Several times I have not found titles to add to lists in the ‘You’ section that are available when searched elsewhere. I can’t understand why they’d actually be in IMDb and not accessible everywhere. It would be very accommodating if there were an ‘Add to List’ option from the main search page rathe

Profile Photo

Greetings IMDb Crew, Everything is great but there is a problem with your site, and for I request you to allow the actor to put only profile picture on his page. Now the actor has to take your membership just to put a profile picture, is it worth it? Apart from this, do not give any other facility t

need a copy of what I send to Contact us

When we submit a request viaIMDb Contact we don't get a copy until the desk replies. We need an independent copy emailed to us immediately upon submission, and/or a place to look at our list of pending Contacts. We used to have that, as I recall.
