Calendar Usability

AbbaGav wrote 8 years ago: 1

I use the monthly calendar view a lot and there are a couple changes that would make it much easier to use for me (and perhaps others):

1) Add a duplicate set of next/previous month links at the bottom of the calendar. [I frequently find myself at the bottom of the calendar and having to scroll all the way to the top to get to the next month. First world problems, I know, right?]

2) The "current day" highlight is difficult to see, especially when I don't have a show on that particular day. Two possibilities for this:

* You could make the highlight clearer -- perhaps a bold outline of the day's box and not just a mild recoloring of the background which is hard to differentiate

* Better: Instead of worrying about which day is today, I really care about which shows have already aired. You could display shows that have already aired differently (which begs the question: then how should they be displayed? So from a product point of view, the first suggestion is a lot easier. How about I can customize my calendar display settings including: current day color, already broadcast show color, not-yet broadcast show color font/background?)

Admittedly minor features, but they are what matter to me in using your site, which I do appreciate having available even as it is. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback! #1 is an interesting suggestion :)

Regarding #2 though, the background color for the current day stands out very clearly to me. How's that for everyone else?

The issue might be the highlight for the current day is the same as the highlight for the month date, so it kind of blends together. Maybe make one of them a different color? I don't think you want the shading any darker for either.

Mine is fine, but agree with Shelley if there was to be a change made
