Amazon has zillions but they can't afford a single half-decent UX guy? Sheesh... horrible!

Well, they've changed the name page, now, and you can't opt out of it. It's not quite as bad as the preview, but it's still certainly worse than the original.

As of yet, the main title page still works the old way, but it would seem unlikely that it'll stay that way much longer.

Well, I found something good. I'm not sure if this is new, but on the Name page, if you click on the filter symbol



you will see an option to "View All Credits" which takes you to a text summary, just like the old page with a concise display.

For example: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0671721/...sort_text_view

IMDB has become even more useless of late, shuttling off key technical information to IMDB PRO.

What do you mean by "name page"? I click on that link as an example and it only takes me to Austin Pendleton's page. Where on IMDB's main page can I find that symbol?

They have Title pages for movies/shows and they have Name pages for actors/crew. Currently, you can have the 'old' style display set in your preferences for Title pages, but Name pages are the new (annoying) style.

My link to Austin Pendleton's page was just an example to show how you can see a Name page using the link from the filter.

You have to click that link from each person's page to see the IMHO much better format. It's a shame they don't have that as a preference you could set, as they do with the Title pages.
