Today we have made several updates to our Ratings pages and functionality. We have improved the design of the ratings details page to give it a cleaner, more modern look.
We have also made several changes, listed below. These changes only impact the Your Ratings page on the IMDb desktop Website. You may find much of this information by creating and running custom searches on the AdvancedTitle Search page. For example, to see comedy titles you have rated, sorted by your rating, see this advancedsearch. Or, to see titles you have rated that are in the IMDb Top250 list, see this advancedsearch.
What did we change?
1. We removed the Compact list view. This was accessible from the far right icon (see A in the screen capture below). The grid view and detailed list view are still available.
2. We updated the “Sort by” dropdown box. It now provides the two most popular choices: Most Recent (previously called Recently Rated) and Top Rated (previously Your Rating). Sort by: Your rating, Title A-Z, Release date (US),Number of votes, IMDb rating, and Popularity were removed. See B in the screen capture below.
3. We removed the Refine ratings filters options from the Your Ratings page on the desktop site. See C in the screen capture below.
4. We removed the Find More Titles tab. See D in the screen capture below.
5. We removed the Recommended for You section on the User/Ratings page.
6. We changed the format of data in the Ratings Export. You can export your ratings to Excel by clicking the new overflow menu (the 3 vertical dots) above your list in the updated experience, and choosing Export.
There are many ways to find new titles to watch. IMDb users can use Advanced Search, look through the recommendations for new titles to watch under People who liked this also liked... on any title page, or see Top Rated Movies.
Thank you for your continued support.

You can do this via advanced title search at http://www.imdb.com/search/title
The exact query (which you can bookmark/favourite/save) is http://www.imdb.com/search/title?my_ratings=restrict&title_type=feature
The exact query (which you can bookmark/favourite/save) is http://www.imdb.com/search/title?my_ratings=restrict&title_type=feature
And how I can do Most recent sort via advanced title search?
It isn't an issue of whether it is POSSIBLE to do via advanced title search. It is FAR more difficult and cumbersome to do so under any circumstances. It was FAR easier to simply tick a box and have it auto-update all in one place. Now, we have to go back to advanced title search and redo everything every time we want to change one thing, like now sort by date too. Your 'solution' is essentially to bookmark some insane amount of different querys in an effort to make it 'easier'. That's ridiculous, and not only is it ridiculous, but it doesn't even address every possible issue.
As you stated earlier, the answer to SSS SSS's question is "You can't via IMDB." Instead you have to export your ratings and analyze them with some other program. You've said all along that the point of this was to streamline the service to have things in one place. You're doing the EXACT opposite of that. Where previously we had one location where you could sort and view all of your ratings however you wanted EASILY with one tick of a button, now we have to return to advanced title search and redo everything every time, or export the ratings to another program. Please listen to people and return the functionality.

I think the site would look a lot cleaner and more modern if all the "My Lists" pages looked like the new "Vote History" page. Compact view needs to be axed *completely* from the site, and I see that "My Lists" still has some filtering options. They all have to go. They clutter up the page and give me a headache. I want everything to look simple and neat like the new Vote History page. And if Vote History and My Lists pages were rendered by the same template, it would make things easier on the coders.
And why are users still being given the option of "Reference View" in the site preferences? Anyone who insists on using "Reference View" by this point is just a spoiled brat who needs to be taught a lesson. Take it away, too!

I don't think they understand sarcasm. :( You're playing with fire here.
The site preferences will likely change in a few days. By the way, Reference View is great. None of that AJAX bullshit.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Why can't I sort my ratings by type/genre etc. anymore?.
I used to be able to sort my ratings by genre, tv series, episodes, videogames, or film.
But now I am only able to sort it by "top rated" and "neweste ratings".
Why would IMDB take away the previous functions? Why make it worse?

You can still sort by genre
Did you read the rest of the thread to find the answers how to do it as it has been mentioned several times
- Choose ‘Advanced Search’ from the Home Page search drop down
- Choose ‘Advanced Title Search’
- If you leave the ‘Title’ blank you can choose everything else that was on the left of the ratings page before including the various genres
- Under the ‘Your Ratings’ section, choose the radio button to restrict to titles you’ve ratedDid you read the rest of the thread to find the answers how to do it as it has been mentioned several times
Advanced Title Search is not an good option, forget about it. It can't replace removed options.
IT works fine for me, and it does 95% of what the other prople have been requesting with only a single extra key stroke. Any good Business Analyst/Computer Programmer would call that a winning situation.
I believe if they removed the ATS instead ratings and lists functionality, there will be less objections from users.
It's clunky, takes A LOT more effort (half a dozen clicks instead of one), and the end result isn't as nice to view because the poster images are smaller. I used to enjoy browsing my "collection" of rated films, that's been ruined for me now. Before you suggest bookmarking the search, I have. It's still more annoying to use, because instead of 1 click to change the sort, I have to go back to the search page, find yet another filter among the plethora and click it. It's just overall a massive loss in practicality, not what I call a winning situation.
Paul, what on earth are you talking about? It takes way more than one additional keystroke. It's one keystroke for each and every thing you want to do. Then if you want to further restrict you have to go back and start over and type everything in again. Even in your initial reply listing the simplest thing someone would want to do you list 5 steps. Don't be disingenuous. It is far more difficult to use, it is far more cumbersome to use, and most of all it is far more annoying to use.
EXACTLY! Why are you IMDB drones trying to sell us a bucket of shit and call it a basket of roses? Can you not read, can you not see? Your changes are universally reviled and, unless you're intent on losing your jobs when IMDB folds in future, you would, like a semblance of human beings, admit your mistakes and move on. But I suppose that's too much ask in this increasingly brutal age, particularly when someone like Paul tries to convince us that the new cumbersome way of doing things is somehow better than the old minimally useful way of doing things. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY! IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH! WAR IS PEACE!
It's a cultural phenomenon, Joseph Tome.

We are pleased to announce two new sort orders on advanced title search @ http://www.imdb.com/search/title -- Date of Your Rating (new to old) and Date of Your Rating (old to new).
These can be used to sort all advanced title results, including obviously your ratings history and any lists, as well as general search queries.
For example, all titles you have rated in most recently rated order @ http://www.imdb.com/search/title?count=250&my_ratings=restrict&sort=your_rating_date&vie...
All movies you have rated in most recently rated order @ http://www.imdb.com/search/title?count=250&my_ratings=restrict&sort=your_rating_date&tit...
All 2017 movies you have seen in ratings order, detailed view @ http://www.imdb.com/search/title?count=100&my_ratings=restrict&release_date=2017,2017&so...

That's great. I mean it. Adding functionality is a good thing.
But why, since you're supporting a lovely Refine dialog on every other kind of list, why can't we have that Refine dialog on our Ratings list?

Unfortunately behind-the-scenes ratings and lists are in different systems. Stay tuned though as we are looking into options which would better unify them on the front-end.
Could you add the compact view and add column with voting date as it was at the ratings list?
I've found a problem. ATS within titles I've seen opens only first 200 pages, the last one for examples @ http://www.imdb.com/search/title?my_ratings=restrict&sort=your_rating_date&view=simple&p.... Next 201 pages returns 404 error "The requested URL was not found on our server. Go to the homepage »" and any next page in a row returns the same error.
Hi, sss sss. That limit, as it were, has been a problem for several years now.
It seems IMDB support prefer to remove fuctions instead solving problems.
As it turns out they are more interested in solving problems for mobile customers than desktop customers and API customers (or, for that matter, customers in general).
This was very disappointing!
I've used this to find out what the name of the film I've watched was, and many other occations. Now it's impossible to go back without using hours and hours to click.
Please bring this functionality back.
It's a main reason to use imdb, otherwise one will have to make another list to sort this out.
The most important are sorting by rating and sorting by date.
If this is not coming back, I hope it will be possible to transfer this to an excel-sheet, though that really is no good substitution.

Yeah, I have read it. But it's still very disappointing.
I just recommended imdb just for this feature.
Advanced search is just that - advanced. :/

Hey Col, you still haven't answered my question. How do I filter my rated movies by the rating itself now? For example "show all movies I rated 4-5"? This was possible with the "old" (better!!!) filter options. Now I have to go through all my movies till I am down to the ones I rated 4-5. That just a pain in the a** if you have thousands of rated movies.

2. We updated the “Sort by” dropdown box. It now provides the two most popular choices: Most Recent (previously called Recently Rated) and Top Rated (previously Your Rating). Sort by: Your rating, Title A-Z, Release date (US),Number of votes, IMDb rating, and Popularity were removed. See B in the screen capture below.
3. We removed the Refine ratings filters options from the Your Ratings page on the desktop site. See C in the screen capture below.
I use the filters on my ratings as part of my job working in public library. I don't see how this is helpful. I was trying to pull up a list of all of the 2017 movies that I rated this year, but found that this is no longer possible. I ended up having to quess by showing all of my results and hand-counting all movies with a 2017 release date. I can't be the only person who uses their ratings in this way. Why would sorts and filters only be available for my watchlist but not for my ratings? If anything, the ratings and watchlist items could be integrated into one view (much like you would find on Goodreads for books) with the sorts and filters (and hell, a batch edit feature) in one place. If IMDb is no longer catering to the personal user what is the point of this site?

I agree that removing Refine options on Ratings was a giant step backward.
But I'm not sure you needed to hand count anything.
Advanced Title Search should have helped:
Enter Release Dates 2017 for both high and low
A few selection boxes above the end of search criteria, find
Your Ratings, and select Restrict to Titles I've Seen
I would want a Compact list, and sorted by Your rating or Date of Your rating
Try this link:

Yes, "your ratings" page now lacks boxes for selecting genre & TV/Short/film etc & year sliders. If anything they should have ADDED a checkbox for different decades which I and probably other users would find useful.
....Currently "Your ratings" -page has only two options to sort by: most recent/top rated... and the latter doesn't even work, at least for me at the moment. Really weak.
I guess I'll have to access these features through "advanced search" then, if possible.
-
Having said that....
Under "my profile" ...clicking "see more" you can still select for example westerns that you have seen and sort them with various methods - which is good.
-
A suggestion:
I have longed for long time on actor's/director's etc personal page an option to click a link which would bring me to a list of their films I have rated.
....For example on Harrison Ford's page a link which would search for me all his films I have rated from best to worst.
I use this kind of search A LOT and always have to do it through "advanced search".
So how about adding features instead of removing them.... I double dare you.
-
Oh and one more thing... I really like the feature of being able to download your own ratings as Excel file (or csv).
That's probably the most important feature of IMDB for me at the moment. Advanced search is very important as well. I've already voiced my opinion on film review filters (get them back).
More power to power users. Forget mobile kiddies... they will switch to any site which is "cool" at the moment...

The one feature you mention is already there. There is a link on each person's page where you can see how much a person's X work you have seen. Unfortunately the list seems to be very random with no rhyme or reason to how the list is constructed. It can only be sorted the way you (or I) would like, but you can currently see hoe many works you have rated for each person. The link is buried on the right side of the screen.
Indeed. Thank you....
I had not tried the "new" version of actor pages, but coincidentally IMDB apparently forced me today (can't use old layout). No problem there, I think the new layout is good, and that "explore more - ratings" -function is very good.
Now if only the default for filmography-ratings would be:
you and this list-titles I rated-release date. Then it would be near perfect.
There's missing an option to arrange titles by my own rating, which I think is essential option to have.
...Note that if I (or someone else) see a list of titles I have rated then I'm not interested in ordering titles by general imdb rating but by my own rating, naturally...

Since your post documented existing capacities, I didn't officially Vote for it (since it's categorized as an Idea). But I bookmarked it for reference.
It looks like the ability to exclude results from the Advanced Searches (ATS and ANS) was taken away a long time ago. Maybe usage consumed too much CPU time on their servers or something. Very unfortunate.

This is the thread for ratings issues and so your post best belongs here where the team responsible are reading and recording issues to be addressed.
Hi, stefano. Get Satisfaction merely hosts the IMDb community, among many other things. I don't know if all those other companies ignore or troll their customers like IMDb Official Reps do. Haha :P
The developers (a possible skeleton crew of which) are too busy to act with any immediacy on a number of key matters.
"Reading and recording" but otherwise ignoring? All we're asking for are a couple of basic functions to be brought back.

The old software system simply does not exist any longer due the timeline on which we have to fully close the old systems (end-of-year 2017) so our engineers cannot simply uncomment parts of the retired code to restore old functions.
As outlined already, we are taking this opportunity to eliminate many inconsistencies between interfaces. Unfortunately there are more losses in functionality than we would prefer in the short term. So, yes, the team are reading and recording the highest impact items for consideration in the New Year. Sorry for any inconvenience in the meantime.
