Thank You for bringing the ratings and years breakdown back. One thing I noticed though is that the Genre Adult is missing in the breakdown. Can you bring that back as well?

Hi valkyrslayer - While the Adult genre isn't currently supported in the breakdown, you can find your rated Adult content using Advanced Title Search. Simply select 'Rated by you' and select to 'Include' Adult titles in the filters to see your complete rating history.

Hi. Thank You for the reply. Will the Adult Genre be included again in the future? For the ratings breakdown at least? Another thing I noticed is that the Top Rated Sorting lists Interests as Top rated even when only 1 Movie has been rated. For example I have only 1 Movie rated that released 1938 and rated it 1 10/10. Now my top rated year is 1938. The old Ratings breakdown design showed only years and genres that had at least 10 or more items rated, which made more sense.

Thank you. The Ratings looks fresh and modern now. However, it is less informative. 1) When running an eye over the genres, their names rotate with their values, that is very inconvenient and takes much more time to analyze the list. It would be great if each genre occupied only one line in the infographic. A single-line structure would also save the same place for a longer list, that would result in fewer clicks of "See more, See more, See more..." 2) The updated list of genres also includes interests. At first glance, this is an exciting approach that just takes some time to get used to. But the list of interests is generated and provided automatically, and some users may be happy with such extraneous information, while others will only get more discomfort and annoying instability (the latter because the interest category can be further developed by the community). I suggest the following changes (at least one of them would be helpful): a) The background colors of genres and interests should be different; b) Users should be able to disable interests from the infographic; c) Users should be able to manage their personal list of interests for infographics.

Hi @MAthePA, thanks for the feedback. We'll take these suggestions into consideration as we look at making updates to the feature. Could you clarify your first point -- do you are looking for a way to view only the genres instead of the additional subgenres and other categories? I'm not quite sure what you mean by "single-line structure" -- appreciate any other detail you can provide. Again, we appreciate your feedback, stay tuned as we continue to update the features.

Hi @Jack, and thank you for caring. Now I have: ------------------------------------ Drama 14.5K ratings ●6 average Comedy 13.3K ratings ●6.1 average Thriller 6.8K ratings ●5.7 average ...and so on... ================== Simple single-line would be: ------------------------------------ Drama 14.5K ratings ●6 average Comedy 13.3K ratings ●6.1 average Thriller 6.8K ratings ●5.7 average ...and so on... A better single-line structure: ------------------------------------ Drama 14.5K ratings ●6 Comedy 13.3K ratings ●6.1 Thriller 6.8K ratings ●5.7 ...and so on... Or a possible variant: ------------------------------------ Drama 14.5K ●6 Comedy 13.3K ●6.1 Thriller 6.8K ●5.7 ...and so on... PS: Unfortunately, Sprinkl just ate the tabulations. PPS: Single-line (or one-line) statistics is always better for visual analysis.

I'm sorry, but I really don't like it. What I really miss is the old gray graphs, especially the one that shows all the movies I've rated chronologically over the years. That was a big reason why I kept using IMDb. Are there any plans of bringing it back?

Hi @DerreckRhino Could you please clear out (because you commenting my post in this thread) -- are you not satisfied with the new design in general, or you don't like if it would follow the proposed single-line structure (which is closer to the old look, by the way)?

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I posted my previous comment in the main section, not as a direct reply to your post. What I meant is that I'm not satisfied with the new design in general, as I think the old design was on the whole more concise and clear.

@MAthePA - thank you for clarifying, I appreciate the additional details. This gets a bit tricky as we need to compensate for localized strings of the interest category names vs the available real estate and account for how this appears across browser sizes/devices, especially for mobile, but also ensuring we are providing good sizing to support vision-impacted needs. Thank you again, we'll consider this feedback as we seek to make continual improvements/enhancements.

That was a big reason why I kept coming back to IMDb. Also I don't like that you have included so many genres, like "Jukebox Musical", "Stoner Comedy", etc, when "Musical" and "Comedy" would be enough. Are there any plans of bringing back the old graphs?

I support Derreck Rhino. I want the old bar graph back, the one that showed all the years from the first to the present (in my case, from 1913 to 2019) from left to right in thin vertical bars. You could pass your cursor over the graph and stop at any year and see, e.g., "1939, 107 films", and you could also see the whole picture at a glance, with some years rising and some falling. Right now all there is a list of my top few years, but not in graphic form. Why remove a good feature? Also, if memory serves, it was possible to create a similar bar graph for genre, and I don't see how to do that currently.

As the Ratings Analysis is now available, perhaps it would make sense to remove the current information displayed on top of the profile page saying that the missing features will be returning soon? Apart from that, the new stats look nice.

Hello, While I am thoroughly relieved at the return of insights, I would like to request that categories/years below a certain number of ratings (previously 11 ratings) be filtered out as they were before, and that the full list be visible not just the top ~35(?). Also I would also echo that I miss the old bar chart of movies rated by year that we used to have. Kind regards, Conor

I agree, bring back the bar chart for moves rated by year! Also, provide a bar chart for movies by genre, which I think also used to be there.

-Previously, my rating breakdown showed me the exact number of titles I've given a certain rating. Now, I only get a rounded, imprecise number of titles if the number goes above a certain number of titles. If people want to round a number in their head, that's fine, but IMDb (still) being a database, I don't really understand this new choice of dumbing these numbers down. Not all customers of IMDb are idiots, or have dyscalculia, or don't care about details or nuances. Just threat them as adults and let them choose for themselves how to deal with all the information IMDb can give them. -Previously, I had a listing of all years and the number of titles from those years I had rated. Now, that is still/all gone. I really hope that will return! So while this is a plus for the mobile version customers, people using laptops or such now have less information than they used to and can't therefore be very happy with this change.

Agreed. I always use desktop or laptop, and I want the full range of features available on those as are available to people who use mobile devices.

I still can't see it, even though others below seem to be able to see it. When I go to my name, I see in the drop-down menu:

Your profile

Your Watchlist

Your ratings

Your lists

Your favorite people

Your interests

Your watch history

Account settings

Sign Out

I see no "Ratings Insights", no "Ratings Analysis", no "Your Activity" or any of the the other links that are supposed to take one to the old bar graphs that showed your rated films by year, by genre, etc. I'm using Google Chrome and Windows 10. Can anyone help?

@old_film_lover As indicated in the announcement above, the ratings insights are available via the “Your profile” link in the menu, which will direct you to https://www.imdb.com/profile/ — the righthand column of this page is entitled “Insights” although note that if you are accessing IMDb on a mobile device or if your browser is not full-width, the “Insights” column may wrap underneath the rest of the page content vs. being placed on the right.

If you still cannot see it, please follow the advice in https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/common-issues/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-browser/GF2ZAR69V859XLHF as an ad-blocker or other browser plugin may be interfering with the display of the page content.

I will include a screenshot below showing the start of my ratings insights on the right of the page from my profile at https://www.imdb.com/user/ur1000000/

Hope this helps.

Dear Col. Needham: Thank you for replying. Yes, I can see all that material on the right, but it doesn't solve my problem. The announcement seems to imply that we can retrieve the old bar graphs that always used to be there, and I still don't see a way to do that. I see lists where I can tell, for example, which years I have the most ratings for (e.g., under Release Dates the first entry is 1939, 107 ratings, 7.4 stars average), but I'm trying to restore the bar graph table that was always there before, where every year from 1913 (when my ratings start) up to the present is indicated by a vertical bar, so I can see how each year's total films rated go up or down in graphic form. And I want to be able to do that with genres as well. Right now the only bar graph showing is the one that tells me how many 7s and 8s and 9s I have in my ratings. How do I go about recreating those other bar graphs that used to be there?

Another question is: Has any thought been given to allowing half-stars in the ratings? Often I think a film is worth 7.5 out of 10, but I'm forced to choose 7 or 8, and I don't think a movie is worth 8 but think it's worth more than 7. It's like being a teacher and not being allowed to give your student a grade of 75, being forced to either lower his grade to 70 or raise it to 80. Please consider introducing a half-star system.
