Latest site and page design changes

Please, someone help me. I'm an old man, and I need to go back to the old layout. I've lost all my settings, and I'm finding it difficult to use. Thanks everyone.

@masterchipo It sounds like you have accidentally opted-in to the title reference view which is an advanced view aimed at high-volume data contributors. To switch back to the standard IMDb title pages, please visit https://www.imdb.com/preferences/general/ and uncheck the option labelled “Show reference view with full cast and crew (advanced view)” and press the “Submit” button. For more information on IMDb’s site settings, please see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/site-preferences/GDL9NWJRKWRH5L6K Hope this helps.

I have had this issue as well, but I used to only see the full cast, director and so on. But now everything is shown, including full lists of production companies and distributors, where I used to just see a couple of those. Is there a way to go back to that, or was that a fluke I managed to hit in some way?

@sven_usling The same advice as above applies … to switch back to the standard IMDb title pages, please visit https://www.imdb.com/preferences/general/ and uncheck the option labelled “Show reference view with full cast and crew (advanced view)” and press the “Submit” button.

That does not work. What I used to have is the new way, but it looked different, and only parts of all information was shown. I wish I could go back and show a screenshot of it, but alas, I didn't capture one. Maybe I had some middle ground that is now fully gone.

@sven_usling Please see https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-redesigns-title-reference-view/6847408e13f03f4b7e70a5de but the new title reference view has been designed to be as close as possible to the old view, certainly all of the information shown is exactly the same. In any case it sounds like you not in the target audience for reference view so we recommend that you stay opted-out of it (more than 99.95% of IMDb users do not use reference view). Hope this helps.

Thanks @Col_Needham, you've helped me so much, and I really appreciate all your help. It's true that option was checked, but as I said before, I'm too old for these changes. I'm used to everything, and the language limitations are even more so. I speak Spanish (my native language) and some French, but all of this is beyond me. I see the page is black, when it used to be white. I have some scripts that direct me (the links) to other secure pages, movie links I've been using for many years, and I've lost them. I've lost them in the IMDB Scout Mod and IMDB Scout (Tampermonkey) settings. Everything has gone black, and I can't configure it. Can you, @Col_Needham, help me with this? Thank you very much in advance for your help. I really appreciate your kind gesture.

@materchipo We are unable to help with third party scripts, sorry, however, we recommend you contact the authors of the scripts to let them know that their scripts no longer work with the updated IMDb design. You may find the authors are already working on updates.
