Some features

Wow, that's quite a list. Thanks for your feedback!

1) You can do exactly this using tags. Check out the blog post about it here!

2) You can do this, but you have to navigate there through your watch list. If you click "view all" in the watchlist, you'll land on a page like this, where you can mark a show as watched up till a specific episode with a single click. Perhaps we should link here from the regular episode list page as well, let's see what Jan thinks.

3) This is not a bad idea now that the forum's growing increasingly bigger. Will put this on the medium-term todo list.

4) Not sure if this will ever happen, it would be a huge amount of work that only benefits a very specific audience. It's a very long-term item if anything at all.

5) More advanced rating calculations than the average are on the list, although I'm not sure where exactly. :-)

I guess it's my time to make a few suggestions that I believe will help enhance the site as well as improve member satisfaction perhaps?

1. People - Besides name also add "Real Birth Name" (unlimited character length for those with 4 or more names)

2. People - For Place of Birth (POB) add city of Birth along with Country and State if Born in the U.S.

3. People - Change format for Date of Birth (DOB) to have the system spell out Month of Birth so there is no confusion when putting a date in if they were born on the 1st to the 12th. I still cannot get it straight myself if it is Month then Day/Date or visa versa?

4. People - For Death of Death (DOD) same as #3 but also add Place of Death (POD) if known & Reason if known?

5. Shows - Add date the show 1st began to air (Day-Month-Year) same format as #3

6. Shows - Add in days show airs Thursdays or Monday - Friday also add time it normally airs and the normal length of program 60 Minutes etc.

7. Shows - Besides Show type Scripted add Genres - Action, Adult, Adventure, Animals/Pets, Animated, Anthology, Arts & Crafts, Buy, Sell & Trade, Celebrities, Children, Comedy, Competition, Cooking/Food, Crime, Current Events, Dance, Debate, Design/Decorating, Discovery/Science, Drama, Educational, Family, Fantasy, Fashion/Make-Up, Financial/Money, Fitness/Exercise, Garden/Landscape, Health, History, Holiday, Horror/Supernatural, Housing/Building, How To Do it Yourself, Interview, Lifestyle, Literature, Medical, Military/War, Music, Mystery, Outdoors/Wildlife, Politics, Puppets, Reality, Religion, Romance/Dating, Sci-Fi, Sex/Porn, Sketch/Improve, Soap, Space, Sports, Spy/Espionage, Super Heroes, Talent, Tech/Gaming, Teens, Thriller, Travel, Weather, Western.

More to come on my next post, thank you very much for reading, Ron, JAGUARDOG!

1. Members – Allow members to Follow other Members (Great way to make new friends me thinks?)

2. Members – Provide points, credits, icons, levels something for every single thing a person submits to include posts in the Forum, Example – Add a Photo ¼ point, add people data POB, DOB, DOD, POD, NAME, Real Birth Name ¼ point. Add a Bio for People 1 point, Add show summary 2 points, add Cast into a show 1 point each, etc., etc.

3. Members – 1 Point for adding a show or requesting a show be added same for adding a person into the site/database.

4. Members – 3 Points for having a missing Network added to the site.

5. Members – Post in the Forum 1 full point to encourage more posts?

6. Members – Log into site ½ point, 2 days in a row 3 points, 3 days in a row 7 points etc. if you fail to log in the points start all over from ½.

7. Members – There are most likely many other items that would garner points but I can’t think of them right now?

Hey JAGUARDOG,

some of the things you pointed out we are already working on, for example to follow other members. The "point" system sounds pretty cool to me, but david or JAN will answer you regarding all this tomorrow, think they are asleep now :)

cheers

Juan

If they are sleeping at 7PM can I assume they live in a Foreign Country and not the U.S.? No big deal just curious.

I am from Germany and I am still awake at 1:25 am here, hehe :)

I am from Jacksonville, Florida, U.S.A. and I didn't go to bed last night until 6AM this morning. But I am a retired and disabled Army Veteran who is 64 years old and I have no life other than the Internet!

BTW do you have a place for Pay Per View shows like "WWE PPV on WWE Network"? Also I believe that the wwe.network should also be listed in the Web Channels section as well.

Can you please change the Default on the Forum pages to bring up the most recent posts 1st instead of last please? It get's a little frustrating having to always scroll to the bottom then go through pages and pages just to see the most recent post(s).

Thank you very much for your consideration in this request, Ron.

In the Networks section of the site I see that there may be 100's of Networks. The list is not Alphabetically nor is their a search function that will lookup Networks as I tried "NBC" came up with a person's name only. Can we either have the list sorted alphabetically or allow a search function for Networks or my 3rd choice would be to provide a sort selection list that we can change as needed please?

You may be able to answer my questions so I don't have to go through all those lists. I wanted to add some of my Favorite Networks so are these on the site please?

American Heroes Channel (Previously known as the Military Channel)

axs TV

CBS Sports Network

CMT

Discovery Family Channel

Discovery Life

FOX Soccer Plus

FOX Sports 1

FOX Sports 2

Fuse

Fusion

FXX

GAC

Headline News Channel

International Film Channel

Investigation Discovery

ION Television

NBC Sports Network

The Outdoor Channel

Pivot

The Sportsman Channel

TVOne

Up TV

Velocity TV (Previously known as The SPEED Channel)

For all programming questions and the sorting part, david will need to answer you :)

But I can tell you which channels from your list are already on our site:

FOX Sports 1
FXX
Investigation Discovery
NBC Sports Network as NBCSN
Velocity

The others are not yet on the site, because we did not add any shows from the channels yet, we always add a channel, when we add the first show from it, but you are very welcome to add all the channels you like to have on the site of course :)

cheers

Juan

I will gladly add channels/networks etc. but I have no clue how to do that?

You will get that power soon, as you seem to be quite active around here :)

For now I will add them all this weekend.

cheers

Juan

Domo Arigato!

1. Check out this thread, where we discuss a few of the questions surrounding this: http://www.tvmaze.com/threads/68/chat-profiles-pag...

2-4. Check out your profile page, where you can see your amount of Social Points and Contribution Points, which tracks exactly this! The only difference is that currently each type of edit gives you exactly 1 point. We considered giving different amount of points for different types of edits, but we didn't because it's really hard to value how much work it took to make a specific edit. An episode summary can be copied from a press release which only takes a few seconds of work; or someone might have watched an entire episode and wrote their own summary for it. So to prevent any skewed values here, we just give you a point for each edit, which should even out in the end.

5. I'll make sure that forum posts start counting towards your Social Points very shortly.

6. This perhaps sounds like something more suitable for an Achievement than for points, but definitely a fun one!

I guess it's my time to make a few suggestions that I believe will help enhance the site as well as improve member satisfaction perhaps?
1. People - Besides name also add "Real Birth Name" (unlimited character length for those with 4 or more names)
2. People - For Place of Birth (POB) add city of Birth along with Country and State if Born in the U.S.
3. People - Change format for Date of Birth (DOB) to have the system spell out Month of Birth so there is no confusion when putting a date in if they were born on the 1st to the 12th. I still cannot get it straight myself if it is Month then Day/Date or visa versa?

5. Shows - Add date the show 1st began to air (Day-Month-Year) same format as #3
6. Shows - Add in days show airs Thursdays or Monday - Friday also add time it normally airs and the normal length of program 60 Minutes etc.
7. Shows - Besides Show type Scripted add Genres - <snip>
More to come on my next post, thank you very much for reading, Ron, JAGUARDOG!

1. You can already create AKA's for people. Perhaps a good option would be to allow marking a specific AKA as "real/birth name"?

2. Not sure about this one, if this level of detail is really relevant for our visitors.

3. There should be a date picker when you focus on the field, to help make clear in which format the date should be entered. Does this not work for you or is it still unclear with the date picker?

4. Like #2

5. This is not needed, this information can be derived from the episode list: the very first episode for a show automatically makes for the show's premiere date.

6. This already exists :) Check out Game of Thrones at http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/82/game-of-thrones: "Scheduled: Sundays at 21:00"

7. The amount of genres is intentionally kept small. A lot of the genres that you mention already exist. We're open to adding additional genres, but for a new genre to be accepted there should be a significant amount of shows covered by it.

Can you please change the Default on the Forum pages to bring up the most recent posts 1st instead of last please? It get's a little frustrating having to always scroll to the bottom then go through pages and pages just to see the most recent post(s).
Thank you very much for your consideration in this request, Ron.

Not sure if this would be intuitive - I think almost every forum out there lists the oldest posts in a thread first.

Did you know that you can click on the date (like "3 hours ago") here to jump directly to that thread's last post?

The list is not Alphabetically nor is their a search function that will lookup Networks as I tried "NBC" came up with a person's name only.

You're right, we need a better way to search for networks. Let me think about what's easiest!

Just to add my 2 cents worth or FREE after Taxes. Me thinks Alpabetically might be the best way to go?
