Will be done Arni.

It has been discussed a couple of times before, I just need to get to it.

Shweet! Looking forward to it smile

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

It is now done!

I should make these links though, still wondering if those links should be to the Episodes page (filtered by the respective tag) or to the watchlist page (again, filtered by tag).

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Thank you!

Seems to be working splendidly, but I don't know if you're intentionally making the wrap go below the title? It definitely takes less space like that, which is good if people have a huge number of long tags on the same show.
https://i.ibb.co/grpJp5G/Next-Episode-Tags2.png

It's a good question about the link. I don't use the Watchlist page, but currently there is no tagging in there at all. So if you're linking to that, I'd assume you'd want to add a tag filter to the Watchlist page, next to the Status | Channel | Genre filters? And would you then add tagging options to the series in the Watchlist page as well?
Or even the Show Info page?

Currently all the tagging is done through the Episodes page, so I guess the quickest option would be to just link to that one, sorted by that tag, as you say.

I mark every show I watch as "watched", it's 90% of the reason I'm here - to track and remember where I am in a series since I'm watching on multiple platforms and can't rely on them to mark watched for me

My gut says that many people don't mark episodes/ seasons as watched, but they might be open to rate a show. smile

I disagree. Why have it on your watchlist if you never mark an episode (or season) as watched? Not doing so would bloat your watchlist if you show all. As mods and site owners, can you look at our watchlists, i.e. take a random sample? Or set up a poll?

Of course. Marking shows as read is the second biggest point of this site for me. smile

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

I notice a huge backlot of shows to be added to the site - I wonder if there's a way for users to create those pages ourselves so it also eases your load also?

1,733

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

It's not huge.

Each week I'm adding everything pending.

Everything, except for requests from some users who request shows in bulk (some of them 40+), those get added at the rate of 1 per week.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Would love to have a Dark Mode feature.  I have a large monitor and the calendar for instance is an eyestrain when it's that big and bright.
edit: oops, found it on the previous page.  Apparently it's a real undertaking to do that.

There isn't currently a dark mode, but you could use one of these options: https://userstyles.org/styles/browse/next-episode

DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".

That might take a while... For the desktop, try the Dark Reader Chrome extension. smile

I also would like a dark mode for the website but looking at the user end CSS and I agree it would take a while to implement unfortunately. Just like having a fluid container for larger screen resolutions which would be great

What is a fluid container for larger screen resolutions?  Thanks

I imagine they mean a responsive design, where the window grows and shrinks to suit your screen resolution.  With so many different screen sizes out there (phones, tablets, laptops, and 4k monitors, for example, web developers have to design their sites to look good on all of them.

2020.  Meh.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Try Chrome addon "Dark Reader"

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

I suggest that it should be possible to search for shows by their content, for example, if I look for something related to sales, it should search by the description of the show as well as the summary of each episode."

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

The Australian TV show (on ABC) which this site has listed as "The Gruen Transfer" has been through a couple of name changes and is currently named "Gruen". Also, this site has Season 15 ending on Aug 9 2023 with episode 8 but the series actually ended on 16 Aug 2023 with episode 9.

This is not a complaint, I absolutely love this site and am a subscriber.
Love your work, admin. :-)

Thanks for reporting this and the kind words smile

I've now renamed it and switched the schedule to tvmaze.com (and is showing what you expect it to)!

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Suggestions ;

1. Please add a setting for the number of days that "TV schedule" displays.
I'd like to see more than the next 6 days.

2. Please allow more than 1 digit for Show next xx days from the current week (Right Column).
I know I can fudge this past 9, but shouldn't have to "fudge" it. Why limit it so low ?

3. Please hide or remove a bunch of Legacy TV forums, some of them have not been posted in for years, they are dead and just clutter up the list.

Thanks ..... big_smile

However, I'm still seeing forums from over a decade ago ?
For example: https://forum.next-episode.net/viewforum.php?id=18
The last post in this was 2006 !

Where is the 'TV schedule' setting, I cant seem to find it anywhere ?
Edit: Oops, sorry, on reading again you havent actually said its done yet. neutral

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

As you can see, the forums are grouped in 2 categories:

"Active Discussion" and "Legacy Forums".

Legacy forums would contain the old stuff and are on the bottom, while "Active Discussion" is on top and is where the most active forums are.

Cheers

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Ok .... not exactly what I meant - I was suggesting they go away.

I dont see the purpose or benefit of listing forums that have not been posted in for a decade or more.

That's fine, it's not for everyone, but some people find benefit in going through older discussions.

By being grouped on the bottom though, those are not in the way of browsing through recent/more active forums.

Step 1: Install firefox

Step 2: Install Dark Reader extension

Step 3: Bask in the glory of really good dark mode for about every single site on the internet.
