IMDb Redesigns Title Full Credits

Perhaps you are confusing it with the reference view, which has not changed.

I am not confusing it with the reference view. I don't use and despise the reference view.

Hi Jean_morel, I’m not sure what you refer to in terms of promises not to change the Title Full Credits page. We announced and ran an Opt-in Beta for the past month, and have made a number of changes based on the feedback received. Please take a look at the Beta thread (https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/redesigned-title-full-credits-beta-optin/67b35f0c58837b6a72c03494) and let us know if you have concerns that have not already been covered. Thanks, Mark

Mark, I am not talking about "the past month". I do not hang out on this forum unless I have an issue I need addressed so the announcement flew me by. I am talking about months or years back when you first starting rolling these changes and IMDB promised the full cast & crew page would not be touched when faced with the outrage of regular top contributors such as myself. Your Beta thread and request for feedback is a joke. Just looking at that thread shows you've only gotten negative feedback after negative feedback, but you still steamrolled ahead with the changes. Just like with every other IMDB page type change. You yourself did a post in that thread summarizing the most common issues people were bringing up and the large majority of them have gone unaddressed. You wanted to redesign the site's UI? Fine. And there are actually plenty of "fan redesign" templates of IMDB floating around the web that show actual thoughtful, aesthetic, practical, usable, modern layouts ARE possible. But despite all the negative criticism you keep getting from your users about the changes you make, you just ignore it. It's clear IMDB has a smartphone/tablet first mentality these days and that they don't care that desktop/laptop users and contributors suffer a massively degraded experience because of it. Not even to mention that your changes have broken the contribution form.

Hi Jean_morel, what issue are you experiencing with the contribution form?

Mark, I have detailed the issues in a separate thread here: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/the-release-dates-section-in-the-contribution-form-is-broken/67deb1bfe7cf820830d362cb?commentId=67e06d72e7cf820830e8f9f7 The Attributes menu for the "Additional information" field in the Release Dates section is now missing which is a MASSIVE issue. And there is an additional issue with adding release dates to straight-to-video titles.

Hi List_o_mania, we are considering adding that feature back. The design team are in discussion around the best approach. Whatever they align on will likely be applied site-wide rather than just for the Title Full Credits page, and this is why it may take a bit longer for us to address this issue; since they will need to take into account how the change will impact all IMDb pages. We’ll keep you posted on progress. Thanks, Mark

I think you hit the nail on the head with your comment in the Redesigned Title Full Credits BETA OPT-IN thread. This one: "I know I'm screaming into the wind here, but this redesign is objectively terrible. I assume that, like most of the terrible changes this site implements, it's meant to make things easier on mobile devices, but I don't think it even accomplishes that." It seems like the focus of the redesign is to fine-tune the experience on devices, and my feelings about the look and the functionality are mixed but leaning negative. Right down to something as seemingly benign as rounding the corners of the poster thumbnails, which can cut off edge-to-edge text on some and is not the way poster artists (or when it comes to images the photographers) intended their work to be displayed. Be it artwork, headshots, or whatever, it's a shame it carried over to the web/desktop experience. I still don't even like the decision to elevate subgenres, it's cluttered and often repetitive in terms of the main genre. But that ship/discussion has sailed.

You can find this page in the All Topics menu under Details.

Yes, like every other change IMDB does, making everything less convenient and one more click away.

Come to think of it, the Full cast & crew page does not have the "More from this title" menu at the bottom like the other subpages. The Filming & production page links to Full cast & crew, but not vice versa. Perhaps an oversight.

Thanks!

@Peter_pbn, correct the missing 'More from this title' section appears to be an oversight. I've cut a ticket to the relevant team to get it added back. Thanks for spotting this and bringing it to our attention.

Yes, you can find this in the contribution interface. If you are starting on the full credits page, then click the “Edit” link over in the right area of the page under the “Full cast & crew” heading. For example on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6208148/fullcredits/ clicking “Edit” takes you to https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/edit?ref_=ttfc_edt&update=tt6208148:cast/crew where you will see: “Updating Information for Snow White (2025)“ You can also access the contribution interface via the “Edit page” button near the bottom of any title page. Hope this helps.
