IMDbPro Name Page refresh - early access available soon

IMDbPro Name Page refresh - early access available soon

We are excited to announce that, starting today, we are gradually rolling out the option for IMDbPro Premium members to view a refreshed IMDbPro Name page design. The refreshed Name pages offer full data and feature parity with the current version, with an improved layout that prioritizes the display of information and features that customers use most (detail below).  We are continuously updating this experience after carefully reviewing all the feedback we receive.

Here’s what to expect:

* Feature parity - you will have access to all of the same IMDbPro data on the updated IMDbPro Name pages, including in-development credits, STARmeter rankings, contact data, representation info, and client rosters

*Streamlined page management - You will have direct access to all your editing tools in-line on your own Name page, including setting profession, uploading primary images, selecting Known For titles, and updating your Resume profile.

* Improved layouts - we are prioritizing the most-used information and features, such as contact data and client rosters.  Credits for TV and Film are now combined into a single chronological view, with filters.

* NEW Research notes - Jot down notes on IMDbPro Name pages - visible only to you - about meetings, talent, opportunities to collaborate, and more.

* Mobile friendly - you will have full feature parity between desktop and mobile browsers and can continue to use the IMDbPro app, which is available for both iOS and Android

* More visibility to Connections data - you can see your shared titles and mutual connections with people across IMDbPro

* Localized translations - view translated content if you have a non-English language preference set for IMDb

This refreshed experience will also begin rolling out to IMDbPro Basic subscription members as well over a gradual period in the coming weeks.

As you have the opportunity to use the refreshed IMDbPro pages, please share your thoughts here.  Your feedback matters, and your input helps us make IMDbPro the essential resource for professionals in the entertainment industry.

Thank you!

— The IMDbPro team

My theatre credits are EXTREMELY important to me. I really, really HATE that in the refreshed design my theatre credits are just lumped in with all my "Additional Credits" and that there appears to be no way either to break them out as a separate category OR to re-order them in a way that, for example, allows me to add my most recent ones in a specific place on the list.

Your star meter numbers are way OFF!    There are people with 3 credits that have better #s than me.  I was a First Assistant Director on over 45 Feature Films! and my # is in the 400's.  I also Produced 10 films.  My Daughter is an Emmy Nominated Stuntwoman with over 150 credits and her # are over 300000.  People will stop using PRO..Like me soon.

How do you delete pictures from this version of IMDB page. The pictures, if you select one, doesn't give you the option to delete. Please put that option in the pictures section for each picture.

Please god no, this is terrible. Function > In-App aesthetics. Please revert IMDb Pro to the old layout.

Agree. This is the best message here. Just change it all back. Everything was working fine. The people who use IMDbPro are using it for data, and EASE OF DATA, not some kind of IG page. 

Know thy audience IMDbPro. You are pissing us all off.

Somehow the Edit Page is missing at the top or bottom, so I can't create my vanity URL.  

Please fix this.

The profile pic doesn't transfer from one to the other. Please change the dimensions allowed so my whole headshot can be seen. PLEASE. Also, please allow us to choose our own order of Reps. Right now it's on some default order and I would like my LA agent to be listed FIRST. In general this whole site is so difficult to navigate and not user friendly at all

One of the biggest problems I have overall, in the old site is that every time I change my profile picture, it keeps reverting back to the old one after changing it over and over. So frustrating.

Not a fan and making no effort to remedy the blatantly bad starmeter is just such a lousy effort from IMDb.

And for god's sake - either allow new people to add their Instagram link or completely remove it for everyone. Elitism is at the core here and there is no "design improvement" if that is what you are going to be founded on.

IMDb team,  this feels like it really needs more time before going live. The individual elements are ok on their own, but when you view a page as a whole it looks fragmented and harder to read than it should be. Everything feels split into separate areas that don’t quite connect, which makes it difficult to know where to look or how to take the information in.

The content is all there, it just feels broken up into too many pieces!

First, the page should just open to credits and the bio, like it normally does. That is the majority of what people use this thing for... So, you put up a barrier... fine... But, you made it so confusing and unclear. Why have "by status" "previous" etc... that is not super clear, and also no one asked for that. But, you make us choose, fine (eye roll)... but when you do click one of these arbitrary categories, it just shows the image of the project, and in little grey letters a slight hint at your role/position, but it doesn't have all the information in one spot. I have to click on each project and scroll through the project page's many categories to piece together that Steven So and So was an Actor, Producer, and Writer on whatever show... Why not just include all of that in one spot. These new categories are lame, and don't hold the information clearly. Even the word "Daughter" gets cut short so you need to enter the individual project page just to see what Daught could possibly mean... Daughter... Ugh... If someone held multiple positions on a film, it should summarize it in one line on the filmography section... it's not good, guys. This new thing is not good. It's. Not. Good. You can't easily get the information anymore, and you have this GIANT star meter at the top that we all collectively hate. It also implies that a low meter means this person isn't worth investing into, and it's just not a good look. Literally no one cares about star meter, so don't make it the majority of the top of the page. You have so much wasted space on the new layout, but you can't even fit the word "daughter"... What are you doing right now? Yuck. Why? Please go back. You were fine. If you want a change, just update the graphics and call it a day.

I'd also like to advocate for the bio to be on the front page. Sometimes people have huge accomplishments in their bio that are noteworthy, but not credited to whatever shows your algorithm forces on the front page. This new layout feels like another barrier for people that are working their way up to be held back.

@Jaylayingdown​ Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the issue with truncated character names, this is a bug which only affects people accessing IMDbPro via the Safari browser.  We are investigating a solution at the moment, although with the holidays, this might take longer than usual to fix.  Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.

It's not just the character names. The character names are only a SMALL part of the feedback. If you read my comment again, I pointed out a LOT of things that need to be addressed. The character names are the smallest part of my feedback.  All of the information is scattered, and hard to parse out. You need an entire new pass on your update idea because it isn't working.

To add to this (which I agree with): Where did the Page Views go? Why did they keep changing from day to day? And yes, why feature the stupid Star Meter, that is meaningless in reality. (I write for studios but my ranking fell hundreds of thousands this year, while others who don't have nearly the credits I do are much higher now.) There are no improvements in this new layout that I can see. ImdbPro (which we pay for!) seems to punish writers in particular. Our rankings have collapsed this past year.

Hi Jaylayingdown - Thanks for sharing the feedback and suggestions. As Col mentioned, we have addressed one of the display bugs with the role names and are passing all discussion along to internal teams to investigate other issues further.

Can you share an example case where the multi-hyphenate credit roles are not immediately visible as you're scrolling through? If you prefer, you may share your specific details with our Customer Support as well: https://help.imdb.com/contact

I'm not a fan of the updated STARmeter graph now that it shows every single week across the entire full timeline. I really liked the old version where, as you zoomed out, it grouped things into 4 or 8 week high points. It made long-term momentum easier to understand at a glance. The new layout feels a bit too granular and noisy when looking back over longer periods. I think bringing back the aggregated view would make the graph much more useful for seeing bigger-picture trends and feel less scrutinizing overall.

Where's IMDbpro 7-day shareable link now? Was this feature removed?

Hi davejsp - Thanks for your question. We confirmed with the team that the 7-day shareable link is not available as part of the refreshed Name page features. The best way to share a page right now is for the page owner to create a Custom URL / Vanity URL which can be used to direct visitors to the IMDb fan page or the IMDbPro page, depending on the visitor's registration.

@TerryX​ I understand and I already created a topic about it and explained why it matters from my point of view here https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbprocom/wheres-imdbpro-7day-shareable-link-now/6946f3f51d59574bad5984e3 users in general are not aware of its power. If I can't use it or have an equivalent solution, then me and my clients don't need IMDbpro.

Updated starmeter no longer has the option of switching between a logrithmic and standard scale. Makes it difficult to view/make sense of long careers. I would love to have this feature back

The team wanted to share that the logarithmic scale selection should now be available by default on the STARmeter charts. Please let us know if you have any issues accessing the updated features.

I'd love to know why 1) StarMeter fell for so many people so terribly starting at least six months ago (and I know what Imdb says about this -- that it's all correct! -- but it can't be). And 2) Why do the Page Views, when they show up, keep changing every day (first a Director, then no Director but a Casting Director, then the next day changed to Additional Crew), and then disappear altogether after a couple of days? And 3) Why not tell us who ALL the views are, not just who you decide are most important? (Additional Crew is more important than Casting Director? Really?!) So many bugs on this site, and we pay for it!

I don't like the "new" way that credits are displayed. I like the older version a lot better. It just shows the actor's name under my podcast description. The older version would display the name of the actor, the episode name, and release date... It gets very confusing for my guests because they keep asking me if I am sure that it was posted. I don't like having my guests going through that uncertainty. 

If I tell them that I am add them on my guest page and they will receive an IMDb credit, then I don't want them to be confused. 

Also, why does it take so long to apply a credit to specific actors' pages? I added a guest to my page a week ago and their IMDb credit still isn't showing and yet, an actor I interviewed yesterday had their credit applied immediately. I don't understand the processing times as to why some take longer than others. I also don't like the fact that the actors keep questioning my integrity after they don't see their newly applied credits to their page because it's taking a millenia to process the credit. 

Can someone please explain to me why it takes so long to process a credit and if there is a way to expedite it?

@BDutill​ Thanks for the feedback.  The specific episode details are still available by clicking the ”X episodes” link attached to the podcast credit, or you can click the “(i)” symbol on the righthand side of the row containing the podcast title and in the pop-up which appears, click the “See X eps” link for the same episode details. 

For example from my page at https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm1000000/credits/ 

You can track any pending updates via your contribution history at https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history/ using the “Track Contribution” buttons attached to each update (or the same via the email receipts for each update you make).  General processing times are available at https://contribute.imdb.com/times 

If any contributions have been rejected, please post the details in a new thread in the Data Issues category and include the 18-digit contribution IDs so the team can investigate. 

Hope this helps.

@Col_Needham​ The specific episode details does not work. I've tried it several times.

Again, this needs to be rolled back. BEFORE, it used to be a simple dropdown with the first three latest episodes already visible. It was more user friendly, gave more information up front. But now, the info is hidden and in all my pages that I've tried, not listing any individual episodes in the pop up.
