I went on IMDB a few minutes ago to check out an episode of BONANZA with Warren Stevens, and have discovered that they no longer list individual episodes of the show for each actor. Stevens, who did three episodes, just has the character names, but no link to the episode and casts for those episodes.
As a visually impaired person, I sometimes have to depend on identifying other actors in a show by identifying the voice of one actor to lead me to finding out who the others are. My life just got a lot more frustrating.
First they took away the character links, now the episode links. What's next?

You mean this part from Stevens' page?
Each title is linked, and each link works.

I use an iPad, so it might be different, but this morning I was able to link to an episode of MY THREE SONS with Sal Mineo, but 12 hour’s later, those links are gone.
I was one of the original contributors to IMDb back in the days when it was text only in the days before the WWW. I spent hours adding the casts of films. It just doesn't seem right to make it less.

Linda-- I tired it and found the same thing. I just can't understand why a GREAT database would make itself worse...it doesn't make any sense to me. Why? Why? There is another thing too. I use to be able to find individual user reviews which could be referenced with their own link addresses. But now, that can't be done either. Many of us wrote those reviews thinking that they could be used for the future. Yes, they are all there, but in order to reference them one has to copy and paste the review itself rather than just citing a link address. For example:

Yes it seems that they have changed it on actors and maybe more.
Looked at an actor I know was on Alfred Hitchcock presents, and it doesn't show the episodes, but if I go directly to Alfred Hitchcock Presents I can see all the episodes, and I can still search for a specific episode if I happen to know the name of a that episode. Maybe they moved that function too over to IMDB pro.
Strange that whenever I hear that someone is going to increase service, it always becomes the opposite.

Got the episodes back! Thanks for the link. From the looks of things, it was a bug. I had looked for a settings thing, but couldn't find anything on the iPad app to correct it, but the link opened it in Safari and that fixed it.
