Hi MovieLens users! We recently launched our first major revision to MovieLens since 2003! Please help us grow in the right direction by giving us thoughtful feedback on the design and functioning of the new user experience.

Ideas, questions, and bug reports are all welcome here.

How can we improve MovieLens? (if you have multiple suggestions, please submit them separately)

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. New Image-Based version inferior to Old Text-based Version

    I gave comments before when I was in the beta similar to the comments I am making now.

    I MUCH PREFER THE OLD VERSION, which was highly text-based and with lots of detail to draw from.

    I doubt you're going to go back to the old ways but please try to build out this version to increase the amount of detail and ease of manipulation and control that the old version had.

    I'm disappointed that you choose to make the image-based version mandatory.

    Thanks again for the feedback. Two things to note, if you haven’t noticed:

    1. classic.movielens.org
    2. you can click on “list view” on any search result for a more compact representation of the lists of movies

  2. I am not sure how the new interface improved things

    Things are bigger and waste more screen space.

    It's hard to do advanced searches now.
    How can I download all my watched movie ratings like on the old site?

    We’re planning to add a ratings export feature soon. For now, you can keep using classic.movielens.org

  3. More features

    I suggest a layered approach to feature extraction for nuances

  4. MovieLens does not seem to be sorting correctly.

    When I view the list of top picks for me, and chose the sort option "recommended", I notice that the sorting does not entirely correspond to the predicted star ratings. For example I have several 4 star predicted movies mixed in with 4.5 star movies in the sorted list.

    Thanks for the bug report.

    That is actually by design – we now take a number of factors into account when building lists of recommended movies. Predicted rating is the most important factor, but no longer the only factor.

  5. Bring back the "newest additions" and "about your ratings". Loved these features.

  6. Don't use downloadable fonts for icons

    You (and other sites) are using arbitrary characters in custom fonts as icons. My browser version does not support that. Don't use it or provide a fallback for users like me.

    Sorry, we just don’t have the developer time to support old browsers. For now, we’ll test down to IE9.

  7. And why did the "buddies" function disappear?

    What's with the removal of the "buddies" function?
