Number of credits shouldn't include the number of episodes

Is there any way to request that the number of credits not include episodes? People who have been working in a field for ages and ages don't have that field at the top of their page because of the inclusion of episodes. Here's the most egregious example I've found:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0292482/?r...

Frazen has been editing for two decades (and has 32 editing credits) but because he was credited on as the main title designer on 39 episodes of 'Felicity' the Visual Effects category (in which he has 1 credit) is first. This makes no sense at all. Anything to be done about this? Thanks so much.

On my setup it is correct. His editing credits are listed on top, and the visual effects on second place, with 1 credit consisting of 39 episodes. I'm not quite sure it should be different for you.

I see it as Cate does. Is a "settings" thing? I can't tell how/what to change to get it come up differently.

I have my settings set up with reference view and "always display full cast and crew settings". I suspect the latter is important here.

Yes, 'reference view' fixes it...but I'm hoping that IMDb will fix this for the default setting!

Ah, got it. Funny thing, when I choose "always display full cast..." my view automatically defaults to "reference view" (help desk could not straighten it out), but I am currently in the new view. So, I guess the question is, is this a "feature" of the new view or a (another) bug??

It's been like this for as long as the new view has existed, so I think it's a 'feature'. I've made a new thread with the same info in the 'ideas' section of this board, so here's hoping the right people will look into it.

You could post this as a suggestion thread here.

Hi Emperor - do you mean 'idea'? Or am I just having trouble finding the 'suggestion' threads? Want to do whatever I can to help get this fixed. Thanks.
