Q's & A's

@jaguardog
If you have suggestions, then you're better off creating a thread on the suggestions forum as explained before.
We can discuss your suggestion(s) there in more detail.
cheers,
Jan

Good idea for sure Ron, but please note Jan's comment in the quote above. It will be easier for other people to read these comments as well using the search button if you made seperate topics for suggestions.

I am very sorry about that guys as I keep forgetting there is a "Suggestions" Forum. I not doing it on purpose, I sweat, it's just that this 64 1/2 year old brain has farts from time to time known as "Senior Moments"! I will try better to remember from now on.

haha, that was indeed funny :)

Question concerning the recent change today on show images. I see there is now a preview to see what you posted which is very cool so thank you for that. I question concerns the " Set as main image" box will not hold our check mark anymore and thus the image will not appear on the show page. Was this intentional for some reason or is it still a new process and is not totally complete yet?

Also thank you very much for adding Language to the New Show submission page however why does it not show on the show page itself when it is selected? Is this also still a process that is not yet totally complete yet as well? When this is completed are you planning on making the Language automatically Default to English if we forget to select it by accident?

Hi Jaguardog,

We're still working on the user interface to make it more intuitive. But basically you can only set it as 'main image' if the type is set to 'poster'.
So try changing the type first and then selecting the checkbox.

cheers,

Jan

Thanks Jan I don't believe I ever saw that drop down box before just now, I selected Poster and it posted for me so thanks. What is the difference between Poster and Banner they seem to mean the same thing to me? If we select Banner will that allow a photo to appear lengthwise instead oh heightwise (I never can remember the difference between Horizontal & Veriticle so I have to substitute words)?

You were quick to notice! We just released these changes and haven't had time to explain them yet :)

We will clarify the different kinds of images types soon. For now; poster is simply anything in a (movie) poster format, also known as portrait. Banner is a wide format, something like http://www.tvmaze.com/images/14620/arrow-image-146.... Anything that doesn't fit into those categories - generic gallery images - you can leave the type empty.

As for language, for now I only made the language show up in the Info box if it's something different than English. Because the vast majority of the shows on the site are English, I think we can save the display space in those cases.

Sounds great to me and great thinking about only exceptions to the rule should appear I should have thought of that myself.

I just added a new returning show from 2014 "Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks" and I have tried 3 show photos and none really fit but if I can add one sideways then there are plenty of great choices and the 3 in the gallery can just sit there I guess? Please look at the 3 choices and tell me if any can be used or should I look for a 4th going Banner?

Thanks Juan I greatly appreciate that very much! I never learned how to use Photoshop or I would have don't it myself!

It's not so hard to be honest. Just cut it with Paint and save it :p

There are also some other useful image editing apps you can get for free.

Thomas I just now submitted a airtime correction for the final episode of "Humans" for the U.S. airing on AMC from 10PM to 9 PM can you please approve it quickly?

Approve?

Approve?

Sorry David but I am not sure Tom wants anyone to know what I mean so if he does he will have to let you know?

Haha I thought you meant it on TVMaze, but I got it now. I approved it.

Juan, do you ever look at what you have input after you have finished a show before moving to the next show to work on it because you must do that please? This is the 2nd show this week I have found that you have dates all all of order. Since when does August 26 come after September 16 not on any calendar that I know of? I fixed the 1st show for you a few days ago, I don't remember the name of it but I figured it was just a 1-time mistake we all make and corrected it but since is the 2nd one this week I thought you should know that you must ALWAYS recheck your work first please? I am going to let you fix this one "Cabin Truckers" because it is a total mess as you will see when you look at it. Dates out of order 2 TBA Episodes missed altogether that should have had their titles added in etc. Also if you look at zap2it.com you will see that this show now has a new schedule and no longer airs on Saturday nights beginning tonight, 19 August it will air on Wednesday nights 2 shows each night for at least 2 weeks. It also has totally changed the titles as they are no where near what they were as of yesterday which is very strange to me? Here is an example of the new schedule:

Get Us Out Of The City: Maple Creek, SK to Echo Dale Park, AB 19 Aug 10 PM

Oversized Garage Coming: Calgary, AB to Wizard Lake, AB 19 Aug 10:30

Tough Trek: Calgary, AB to Spirtwood, SK 26 Aug 10 PM

Lakeside Dream: Burstall, SK to Klauts Dam, AB 26 Aug 10:30 PM

I didn't want to say anything at all because I didn't want to upset you but you have to know somehow, someday?

Ron,

Errors are a possibility once you started editing and people can redo those errors by contributing it with the right information. It is not that Juan does make errors for fun. It happens and you can't stop it. Even you made several mistakes I corrected you on, but I do not complain about them as I change them without criticizing you for making a similar mistake twice.

Please address your problem with a set of nicer words instead of blaming one person specifically like you do it now.

Cheers,

Thomas.

Yeh , i messed this up :(

Will take care of it now, when i do massive edits daily, mistakes happen, but thx for noticing :)
And don't be afraid to offend me when you point out erros I make, making errors is what makes us human :)

cheers
Juan

Should be fixed now, wondring if I was drunk editing this :)

I finally broke the 2,000 point barrier tonight "Hooray" but it sure took me a long time to do it from 10 June to 2 September: 20021 Contributor
