IMDb Redesigns Profile Pages
We're excited to unveil our redesigned IMDb Profile pages! Your profile now serves as a comprehensive archive of your activity, including your curated lists, ratings, reviews, and check-ins. With a refreshed interface, you'll have an easier time revisiting your entertainment experiences and personalizing your profile. While web users have always been able to edit their image, bio, and username, we're thrilled to announce that, for the first time ever, our mobile app users can now make these changes directly within the app! This update brings greater flexibility and control to all our users, allowing you to keep your profile current and personalized, whether you're at your desk or on the go.
Please Note: To access badges, ratings breakdowns, and polls, you can click the link at the top of your new profile page.
For more details about the new Profile pages, please review the "Your Profile" FAQ and Community Guidelines.
Our team is constantly working to make our technology faster, more efficient, and more scalable. We hope you'll enjoy these enhancements as we continue our mission to improve your experience. Your feedback is invaluable to us – we encourage you to share your thoughts and questions in this thread.

I got the updated profile page today and I can't say I'm very impressed. Not only is everything spaced out very awkwardly with a lot of dead space in between, but I couldn't find the Ratings Analysis feature. This was one of my favourite features and actually one of the main reasons I bother rating movies and series as I like keeping track of my viewing habits by year, genre, etc., so I seriously hope this isn't being removed and that it's only being updated. I switched back to the original setup immediately but that obviously won't be an option forever.

Today there was a change of choices that left out my reviews or "activity". How can I now see all my reviews, instead of only all my ratings?

I really hope you won't get rid of badges... I really appreciate that feature and it differentiates you from other sites!

One of my favourite things about the sidebar was seeing how many productions I watched from a specific year, my most watched genres, the ratings I gave to every production from 1 to 10.
Removing it will be a dealbreaker to several users, if y'all remove this people will look for another site because having that sidebar was so god damn fun.
I'll add an example since I never imagined you'd remove that

Why? Why are they doing this, the new site, like all the other esthetic updates to imdb is awful and disguisting. The old profile site is simple and effective, why, why do the have to do this? I know that it's soon gonna be switched to the new version permanently, but please, I beg you, keep the legacy site as an option.

As much as the new (now old some years) IMDB version is ugly and less user friendly VS the "reference view" for those who don't want to just look at a few large images but want to see data - this profile change is bad.
You have just decided to give way less information in the same space making images bigger. Bad job. If I had problems of sight I could just enlarge the details...
Since I'm confident you don't care about "serious" users (and probably not even about usage stats: you just stick to these bad decisions unless something disruptive happens) I guess there's no way to have you keep the "old" profile. Still can you at least introduce in the "account settings" - just like for the "reference view" - a new flag that sets the account "legacy" view as default for the users that want that?

I love this new design! But can you also add the “follow” button and user search?

The new profiles look pretty good. However I notice that there has been added a bio max length, which is a bit annoying.
Also, seems like some yank still works for changing the register date:

Also, it has already been mentioned, but graphs are a really nice way of viewing a profile. So it would be sad if these were removed instead of expanded upon. I have given examples of graphs a few times before, but I will show a few here again:

Anyone clicking on the 'Feedback: tell us how we are doing link' will NOT go to a page where we can leave 'feedback'. All we do is go to the usual FAQ page. I want to leave feedback, but I can't, because frankly, IMDb don't really want it: asking for feedback is just another PR exercise. Cynical? Not at all: if it were not, why are we merely taken to a page of 'how do to' links.
So here is my feedback: in the general 'redesign' useful features and ease of use has, pretty much as usual, gone up the swannee. Once you could click on 'activity', then 'my reviews' if you wanted to see them. Now you can't, and not only that it is not at all obvious HOW you can.
Whose bright idea was that?
NB Even here you can't actually post a comment unless you choose a 'topic'. Well, none actually covers what I want to say. Why not?

Today when I logged into my imdb profile I was very disappointed to see that the Ratings Analysis graphs had disappeared. This is one of the features I use most on imdb and the main reason I rate movies. I don't understand why this option has been removed in the new design of the profiles, but I hope they will be implemented again or for me it would no longer make sense to continue voting the movies on your website. I see I'm not the only person missing the graphics. I already saw another of the functions I used the most disappear from the site: accessing the list of all the movies released in a specific year by clicking on the year of any movie of that same year. I still don't understand why that function was changed, since what happens now when you click on the year of a movie doesn't make any sense and it used to be much more useful. I still miss that option.

Two words: AT LAST! :)
Of course I can't wait for the old features, such as the badges, to re-appear, but I highly enjoy the fact that the profile page is now consistent with the rest of the site.
Just out of curiosity, is there any chance that in the future we will be able to decide in what order the profile features/sections are displayed? For example, I rarely use ratings, so I could put the Watchlist on top. That's not a must by any means, but could be quite handy in some situations.

When will the “Recommended for You” section reappear?
I find this to be one of the most useful areas of my Profile page (as it is personal to me and not some sort of generalised “what to watch” summary). Please restore this ASAP.
Thanks

The new Profile Page is just great, but I am using Bio as a summarize of what I like. I include shortcuts to some lists I created, but also I included some lists in there. For example I included a list named "Most Influential Men", because I wasn't able to make that list due to lack of titles such as Isaac Newton. My Bio is still there, but I can't edit it, since the character limit is lowered to 1K from 15K or 20K. Please I want to include some details to my Bio, increase the limit to 20K at least. The new profile page is really great, except for the character limit, there are no downsides I find compared to the old one.
