Features/Improvements Requests (Page 75 of 79)

Hey @santah, long ago I requested a tweak to the watchlist on the homepage out on the left. The tweak would be to have a greyed out "More(In Development)" category where all the shows that are marked as in development would be listed rather then having them in the main list similar to shows that are inactive in the More(Inactive Shows) caregory.

Is there any chance that could become a thing?

The /track page is broken when you select a show to start tracking.

The URL generated in clicking [track], something like https://next-episode.net/track?startTracking=31775

...results in a blank page.  There are no browser errors.

I love Australian crime shows but latest "High Country" is gone missing from my watch list even episode 4 is on 2nd of April.

Well in short it's because my list is around 50% "In Development", most of them are not going to come out for years and it makes that particular feature significantly less useful for me as I "cruise" through the list checking for news. If that is the case for me then I suspect that it's the same for others.

The "In Development"-category stands out from the others categories because in most cases there is not going to be any activity for years, in that way it's very similar to the "Inactive"-category as there is rarely activity there either although it does happen but it's obvious that these have been put into their own category because of the lack of activity, well that principle also applies to "In Development".

If you think about the usecases for this list then I'd think that most people use it to go through what is happening with their shows e.g. what shows have gotten release dates far out in the future or similar but these shows in development are largely irrelevant for that purpose, it's just unnecessary clicks unless you're specifically looking for the shows that are in development but a category would solve that and changes to the list(e.g. a show moved from InDev to Upcoming(active)) would be more noticeable.

Thanks for reporting this. Fixed now!

It's not difficult, but are there enough shows on it and is it popular enough to make it worth it go into the services list?

I vote for better forum moderation
... especially in "TV Show Discussions" - so that you at least enforce your own forum rules, thanx

Can you please elaborate on that?

On the Calendar page, the movie titles are shown in dark red which is hard to read with the new dark theme.
Can we try changing them to something else please?

It's the same with the Saturday/Sunday labels, but they are less important.

Maybe use something like uBlock Origin to filter out the object.
I presume you are talking about he NE shows signatures.  They should be easy to filter.

I sent santah a PM, but he likes this to be discussed in public,  so be it

no problem^^ and you dont have to answer or explain, its your site

I was admin & moderator myself in the last 30 years, a lot
... and i would have never set up forum rules and then not enforced them...

in "TV Show Discussions" you have rules  (https://forum.next-episode.net/viewtopic.php?id=11035).
But many user dont follow them. ATM there are 7 threads just on the 1st page without link, info or anything...
If you look at the next pages there should be more

These posts are hard to read, and are no fun.
Worse - you/your admins even reply without "complain"/"correction" ...

I like your rules, makes show-threads easy to read and fun to "have a look at"...
Especially since those rules are "common standard" and easy to enforce:
e.g. reply (PM or better public) with a standard pre-formulated texts, the rules-link, a short explanation and the  info that without correction the post/thread will be deleted in a week, voila...

... so i vote: lets enforce those rules, it would add to the site-quality & attractiveness

I'd suggest that the rule not be strictly enforced, since frankly, it seems like homework when all you want to do is put a quick comment on a show page. It's especially annoying that even if you link the show page, paste the picture, paste the description, paste the trailer, etc. then remember what your comment was in the first place, you then have to paste the show page and the page of the thread you just made in another thread to have them linked up. Otherwise, other people would have to do the same thing just to comment, not knowing there's already a thread.

I know personally I vacillate between not bothering to comment or not bothering to follow the rule, with the former being the most common choice. I've also seen people who had interesting things to say, which would've likely started nice discussions, just delete the thread when asked to follow the format. I like the way pages with forum threads already running have comments at the bottom and you can just post a new one. Idk if it's possible or feasible to just have that button whether there's a current thread or not, such that comments would just go to the bottom of the page, but that'd be ideal for me.
