Hey I was wondering, due to you guys changing the website and stuff, is submitting updates to IMDb pages going slowly and having a problem due to the changes of the website you making? Because I have submitted a lot of updates to a lot of IMDb pages that are going updates and they are coming in really slow but some mange to get on there for some other reasons that I don't know. If the submitting is going slow because of the changes to the website, I will send you the links of the submissions that are going slow as usual. If the edits are coming up cause I am a bad IMDb user, how can I be better? Also when are the companies on IMDb's pages going to be fix and when can we see them and their filmography without opening IMDb Pro? Most importantly, when are the changes to IMDb going to be done already?

For information on processing times, please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/when-will-my-update-be-added/GEK...  and for the latest processing times for each section, see https://contribute.imdb.com/times

Overall submissions are still faster than ever despite record highs in data contribution volumes. Two factors which could be relevant if you are seeing a different picture:

1.  The launch of the new "Contact Us" system as announced at https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/new-contact-us-experience-e0mpajy5s8gqm has involved significant staff training time and so some areas are temporarily running slower than we would like. 

2.  Please see https://contribute.imdb.com/charter and note the paragraph which begins "IMDb tracks each contributor's accuracy over time..."

As to your questions on company credits, please see https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/company-credits-see-more-link and for general updates see  https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/upcoming-changes-to-several-imdb-features-du6man1opd5q0 so the answer is that changes to IMDb will always be on-going.  Software changes are being launched continuously across pretty much every day.  We are unable to discuss specific timings on specific feature changes in advance of launch, sorry.
