Yes, that's also what I meant. Would be helpful to get notifications/ mails for that. Like "A show you follow just completed its season" (but possibly phrased more nicely ).

Unfortunately it's not *most* of the shows. Out of all running shows for which we have a next episode, less than 1/3 have the season order for the currently running season (I just checked). If I implement this notification it'll set an expectation in the user (that it'll work reliably) and in fact - it will not.

I'm pretty sure it goes up from 1/3 to something like 99% for the most popular shows.  Hmm... How about naming the feature "Season finished notification/ mail (Beta)", and putting a disclaimer like "Please note that we don't have the required season order info available for many shows." into every single notification/ mail that the user sees/ gets?

Not quite so I'm afraid. Here is part of the list of currently running, most popular shows with no season order info:

Oh, I didn't expect that, that would make a disclaimer like I suggested even more important.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests
You can't even try to be clever and use previous seasons as sometimes they change counts. Writers strikes and such would be one example of this. The other option could be to see if the show has stopped airing for a couple of weeks and call it done that way. Again not great as some do have a hiatus sometimes.

Yeah, being clever won't work here, that's why I think some kind of disclaimer needs to remind the user again and again about the detriments of this potentially great feature.

I don't know about most unpopular, but I often sort by name A-Z and Z-A, I often sort by ratings 10->0 and 0->10, and I often sort by "latest thing" and "oldest thing". Like, I do that practically every day, for all sorts of media.

This is quite unfortunate, however, depending on the difficulty of implementing such feature I would still use it even if it was in BETA. Hell it could even be user "assisted" where users can mark it as season finished or something (talking out of my ass as I don't know how much work this would require so don't beat me up)

While that would be cool, I doubt santah is willing to invest the time in that aspect of the (potentially new) feature. I imagine it would require quite some coding, because it would probably require some kind of built-in trust system, where not everybody is allowed to assist, while at the same time allowing new users to come on board.

Yes there is. Go to the watchlist page and sort by "my rating". Your rating for each show will be shown as well as you'll be able to tell which ones you haven't rated yet!
Thanks for that. Just my thoughts on this, wouldn't it make sense that my rating is always shown then, not just when I sort after it? After all it's a "sort" function, not a "show me more info than before" function. That's how I missed it as well. And I still think this would be great: WilliamDrakeMcGregor wrote:- make it possible to rate shows directly in the Watchlist
Thanks for all the great work.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests
Feature request: Add an [-] Acquired tick box for shows on the calendar layout I typically have the calendar page open on one page/monitor while acquiring that day's show in another window/monitor. It would be awesome if I could tick the shows as `[+] Acquired` directly from that calendar page rather than have to flip around to the `Episodes` page
 There's lots of left/right open space on the calendar page that widening each column shouldn't pose a problem that I can see.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests
While an interesting idea, how would you differentiate be watched and unwatched on the calendar page?

Re: Features/Improvements Requests
Interesting idea indeed, but it goes against how the site is structured - everything in regards to watched and acquired status is in the Episodes page as not to clutter the other sections (one can easily request this to be added on the homepage, show details page, schedule etc). I'll keep it in mind though!

The symbol used elsewhere is [-] So if its been acquired then [+] or [x] Something that makes it look like a box that's been ticked.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests
I'm loving the dark theme! But maybe some of the color choices could be re-examined? For example: The dark red of an unwatched movie is really hard to see.

Ok. Well... if it could go on the home page that would work too. In my use case it would serve as my landing page instead of the calendar when doing doing today's acquisitions from another window. My checklist on the left window and acquiring on the right window.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests
Why don't My Movies appear in the RHS list? Just added Star Trek: Section 31 but it's only shown if I select MyMovies whichg is a bit cumbersome (design-wise)

I didn't mean it as "I may as well put it on the homepage", I meant it as "next thing you know, people will request this on the homepage"

Re: Features/Improvements Requests
Please stop forcing me to look at new news posts. I do NOT want to close the notification box and be redirected to the notifications, I want to close the box and go to the page I specifically selected. That's a lie, I don't want to close the notification box either, I want to go to the page I selected to go to without any interruptions. I don't care if there is a new notification and it's red and blinking, I will look at it when I'm good and ready. Is it possible to turn off these notifications on the site?

Re: Features/Improvements Requests
@jt4703, you seem like a person with too much anger. You need to let it go. Go to the notifications settings page and untick the boxes for "When there is a news post on the site"

Re: Features/Improvements Requests
I'd like to suggest a small change to the "Status" in the Browse tab. I use this tab as primary source to discover new shows. Currently we have "Active" which are all shows that are basically all shows that are not cancelled/ended. Than we have "Running" which are all shows that air episodes or have aired episodes in the last 1 1/2 years. And finally "on Hiatus" which are all shows that have aired episodes longer than 1 1/2 years ago but aren't cancelled. What I am missing is a filter that shows me only the shows that are currently airing episodes, so without the last 1 1/2 years attached. I see two possibilities: 1. Add another Status option like "Airing" or "Ongoing" for all shows that are currently airing episodes. 2. Add a sort option like we have in the Watchlist where you can sort by upcoming episode. This way all shows that are currently airing episodes would be on top.
