In the meantime, can you clarify where specifically on the site you are seeing these grammatical errors ie.

Plots, User Reviews, Trivia, etc. By "filmmakers", I'm referring not only to filmmakers like executive producers, scene directors, cinematographers and post-production but also to studio representatives, publicists and casts, just about anybody involved in a production.

I am amazed. It's still the resource for people who want to know about movies and series, and also a place where everybody can vote and review titles. It just took a step back with the new layout. You need to klick and scroll more and can't copy text like before, and I hope that the plot outlines for different languages are coming back sometime in the near future. Col mentioned something earlier. When you add a new movie you have to provide proof of its existence so the IMDb staff can check it out and greenlight the entry.

If you want something to be deleted because it's obsolete or faulty, you have to provide an explanation. But often they can't verify it unless you can provide a link that proves it. So, unless it's provable on the IMDb end you have no chance to add, change or correct content.

And sometimes I found out that there are more people with the same name that are indeed the same person, because the person who entered the nth name didn't really knew that this person did something before or was mentioned in another capacity. Also the different english spellings of names from another character system like chinese or russian. Often there are many versions of a name, falsly spelled or interchanged - you go crazy looking for them.

That's why I am for an original spelling in their language and an alternate name list like the alternate titles of movies. But sam, this just proves my point PS: just now again I would loooove to read their briefing from marketing.. We hate them. You get paid to defend the "new" look but you will never convince us it is better in ANY way. IMDB is useless now. Then I read the reviews and it seems it's a 'podcast'. I just keep checking to see if the site's reverted to a usable interface, perhaps time to give up on that?

The new pages will be updated to support the new audio title types soon something which would have been significantly harder on the old technology. ApplePie I don't know why you apologized, Pie. They surely didn't mind insulting us with this incredibly horrible, tacky Amazon Ad page. And it IS an insult to movie information lovers. This is an app for mindless cell phone and tablet addicts who are too lazy to read.

It's Gen Zs who are statistically more likely to use phones rather than desktops and thus are likely the ones most being pandered to with this redesign. I know "Millennial" has become a popular catch-all derogatory term for anyone under 45, but it does actually refer to a specific age group who are now as of this year ranging from years old, and is the last generation to have all experienced a substantial part of their childhood before the technology boom that occurred in the early s.

In any case, I really don't think this is a case where it's necessary to even bring generational conflict into the discussion at all. Judging from the fact that my Gen X parents, Millennial brother and Gen Z cousins all agree that it's horrendous, I think it's safe to say that this new layout is objectively atrocious no matter how old the person looking at it is.

Sincerely, a Millennial tired of having their generation be blamed for everything, up to and including pointless and ugly changes to website layouts. Nevertheless, the new site is definitely NOT designed for people who are willing to read, and who are believed to want no more functionality than constant swiping, and trailer streaming.

I will edit my comment. Not entirely true but then again every generation gets blamed for something or another by the previous one s. Still, as a 43 year old employer of young men and women, no one would confuse me with my employees. They're much cooler and annoying depending on the day than I am.

The people a lot of people are complaining about are millennials because they are now the age of people who are now becoming young and mature adults - 15 to roughly early 30s late 80s early 90s - so they fit the complaint range perfectly! And of course we and they will blame Gen Z for something else. One last note - generational ages vary. The one you mention is the most common for that group, but not the only one.

I've seen generational groups move up and down slightly over the years. Why does this matter? It doesn't, just caught me in the middle of my first coffee after I overslept. Now we return to the title pages' shitshow, already in progress. You're a decade off. Those born in are now or will be by the end of this year Gen Zs are the ones now broadly "coming of age" while even the youngest Millennials have been full-on adults for several years by this point.

That said, apologies for being a nitpicky little so-and-so and we now return you to our scheduled complaining about the new title pages which is what we're all here for anyway :. Honestly, despite Col twice redirecting me to various replies of his throughout the thread which apparently are supposed to explain this, I still fail to see what exactly would have been so hard about upgrading the software but retaining a workable UI that still functions as a database i. IMDb's brand and supposed function.

Entertainment portals like the site is clearly trying to emulate are a dime a dozen and this redesign isn't nearly as appealing as half of those that already exist. Ahaha - see, I told you I wasn't finished my first cup of coffee yet!

It still hasn't been changed though and the date of the post in your link is almost 18 months old. That speaks volumes. Exactly our point though -- the outdated technology is too difficult to manage and update efficiently these days, hence the start of these changes now. Technology can be updated or upgraded and still maintain a modicum of user friendliness.

The new UI is a step backwards in both appearance and functionality, which is why my settings will always stay in "Reference View". I'm not sure that is a valid statement. Technology does not become more difficult as it gets old. The software infrastructure of the world is extraordinarily complicated, though. Too many "apps" have too many dependencies, and upgrading one thing may require upgrading another and another, so on and so forth.

Sometimes this causes functionality to be lost, lest it be rebuilt from scratch in new languages, new protocols, new standards or so. Maintaining compatibility, portability and scalability doesn't become less challenging over time but rather usually only more challenging. When it comes to data, all too often developers make the mistake of modeling the data to conform to a bit, bit, bit or bit limitation, instead of trying to plan for sizes and complexities that are, for lack of a better description, astronomical.

I'll grant you that the old UI code may not have been compatible with the new changes that they've made, requiring the UI to be recreated from scratch, but that doesn't mean that its look had to be made radically different.

They could have created new UI code that retained the look of the old UI, except for any new features that would need their own link added to it. If it's being re-done from scratch, the UI can be made to look like anything. You can make it look like a s web site, or like it's running on a green-screen monitor from the s. You can make it all text, or all images. You can have it look like it's carved out of stone, or made out of neon lights. You can give it a Christmas theme, or have little mice holding up the buttons.

The UI is a blank slate and can be made to look like anything regardless of the changes going on behind the scenes. If they wanted to, they could have made an exact duplicate of the old UI to work with the changes that they've made to the database.

The reference view is proof of this. It takes the same data and presents it in a cleaner, more text-centric display. OK, maybe it's missing some features, but that's not because they can't be added to it, it's only because they left them out. If they can reformat the same data into the reference view, they can easily reformat it into a duplicate of the old UI, they just choose not to. Right, and that's the part I don't understand. Why didn't the designers bother to organize the components of the UI the way the previous one was organized?

Why didn't they bother to make the redesign capable of morphing between the old desktop view and the old mobile view, just based off the window dimensions? Instead it is just a bewildering blend of the two. The way the horizontal scrolling worked has also been altered. But of course, that goes back to the redesign of the homepage, since it seems to share the same lousy new "mechanics" as the redesigned title page experience.

What sequence of choices on the Contact Page do you recommend for reporting bugs or issues? I chose this. But I doubt a non-contributor would go down that path.

I don't see a clear path down the IMDb Fan fork either. Here's my feedback, and I'll post this url to the form for the screenshots I'm including. If onscreen text appears in the original version of the title, add the language that the onscreen text appears in with an order number of 2 including an attribute explaining in what form the text takes - intertitles , for example. Please note that this refers to the original release ; we do not record dubbing languages for foreign releases in this list, or DVD subtitle options.

To update data for categories that aren't listed above, select Choose from all sections checkbox and supply a Language correction to inform us of the new language and the title s to which it applies. A list of the attributes currently being used can be displayed by clicking on the gray list icon next to the attribute field. Language names reflect the English name of the language ; thus, the main language of Iran is Persian, not Farsi.

Creole is not a specific language; it refers to the way a language has evolved. Given the complex relationship between Serbo-Croatian and related languages, our current policy is to list all variants including Serbian and Croatian as "Serbo-Croatian" on pre titles.

On post titles the specific variant should be used and Serbo-Croatian will no longer be accepted.
