Re: Features/Improvements Requests

When using the TV Show or Person search at the top left, is there a way to highlight shows that are already on our watch lists in the drop down list that appears?

For example, typing in "Marvel" returns a long list of shows.  It would be nice to see a marker or colour change for shows that we are already monitoring.

This could also filter though to the search page where we need to hover over every show to see the add/remove buttons.


Thanks

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

On the search page, shows in your watchlist already have their title colored differently so they stand out ...

Makes sense for the quick search results box though, will add some color in there as well!

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Search engines on Show/ movie search results pages:

I propose to show the search engines on those pages as well, not only on list pages/ the movie page. Right now, I have to
- search
- save result(s) to my list
- open the movie page
- use my search engines
- maybe remove it/ those from my list if what I found makes me not want to watch it

Way too much work! big_smile

To not clutter things, you could also shorten

"Search in [(search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine)]"*

to

"Search in [(search engine) (another search engine) (another search engine) (another ...]",

limiting them to one line only (Please don't hide ALL of them, keep the first ones visible!), with the "..." expanding the search engines to show all.


*That's how it looks here.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Thanks for the detailed suggestion lighton smile

I don't see it working that way any time soon - I consider this a very niche way to use the search, for now.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Settings, Tags page. (https://next-episode.net/settings?action=tags)

- Can we see what shows are currently tagged with a particular tag (I know the currently tagged ones are in orange in the "add" list, but having just a couple in a list of 1000's could get lost)

- Also adding a total number in the tag list.

I only have a couple, but I imaging someone adding lots of tags and then no knowing if they are actually used or not

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

If you go to the https://next-episode.net/track page then you can see which shows are in which tag. Is there something different you need?

Yea, that'll work.   I didn't think of doing it that way.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Hmm... I thought we already got the ability to collapse/ expand "Shows you're not tracking" on https://next-episode.net/track

Am I getting old? lol

Anyway, please add that! Things are getting MESSY! cool

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

So.... a lot of new topics in the forums are without the proper formatting making it annoying to navigate to the show once it's posted. We've had an influx of new members due to us being included on the megathread of a certain reddit... yarr megathread.

Some kind of popup reminding people of the formatting might be nice. Or... can you do overlays on the text area with the formatting? Just curious.

@lighton - indeed will be done

@Phanlix - normally, we remind new users of the proper formatting of show threads.

Can you please link to the threads that we missed?

I have the same issue with One Piece. I caught up to the story through the manga and then I started to watch the anime. So all in all I have around 70 episodes watched I think, with no intention of watching the rest and if I keep the show tracked I see over 1000 episodes left.
An “ignore episode/ignore not watched episodes” would be nice indeed.

Would be good if you didn't use clipboard‑hijacking JavaScript in your web site.

Love the output (not)

Um, to me it looked like you CTRL+A selected the homepage and pasted it here.

So I deleted it for the sake of everyone here not having to scroll through this.

What clipboard hijacking Javascript? Can you paste or screenshot just the script and show us here or at [email protected]? Something your system had a false alarm or?

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Did something change with the way tags are shown in the Episodes list (https://next-episode.net/track)? The past few days I can now see which tags each show is assigned to. It makes the list really long, and sort of messy. I have tried looking in Settings, but I can't find a place to toggle off showing tags under each show in the Episodes list.
