Well, to help out the cause, here's my own top 5 changes that I would like to see on tv.com:
1. Fix the Bugs
What is the point of the site if I can barely navigate through it without facing one bug or another? I'm not even sure if the major bugs have been dealt with and am afraid to do any of my editing at the moment, unsure if my submissions will get in or not.
2. The Level Bars
One thing that I think represented TV.com were its level bars. Not just in the guide entries, but for the profile pages as well. Seeing the level bar on my profile page quickly fill up to my current percentage is one of the simple joys I get from this site, and I was a bit disappointed to see the level bar completely removed.
On the same subject as level bars, the current ones for the episode, show and person pages are a bit too packed. The score is ultimately based on a number ranking, yet while we drag the little arrow across the bar, we instead get little pictures representing the level of enjoyment. While this is not exactly a bad thing, since middle scores like 5 through 7 seriously need a strict definition of whether you're saying it's "meh" or "pretty bad," I would much appreciate the number rankings also coming back alongside the pictures when giving rankings.
3. HTML and BBCode
Merely trying to comment, I noticed that HTML tags have now been removed. Considering that HTML is a major part of the site, what with it being in heavy use when making submissions, this is definitely one of the more major features on the site that should be brought back.
4. Picture Sizes
Upon first logging into the new TV.com, I immediately noticed that main pictures on my profile (banner, avatar, personal image) were either stretched to 200X150 pixels or given an oddly thick border around it, suggesting that we have been given more space for those pictures. However, upon skimming through the forum and blog comments, I noticed that we are still limited to 80X80 pixels for our avatars, but may be able to see more of the picture (if it's bigger than 80X80, that is) when we go to our profile page. And let's not forget our avatar's image in the upper left corner not being appropriately resized as well. The same goes for our banner image. While its size is still theoriginal 760X140, we are now presented with a large border around it, suggesting that we have more room for a bigger banner even though we do not.In short, just remove the banners, and you're golden.
5. Profile Pages
What I enjoyed about TV.com was that our profile pages were focused mainly on our blogs, which are more than likely more efficient ways to learn about users than simply glazing through their About Me section. With that said, I would like the profile home page to be set back to the same format as the original blog-centric format. However, other aspects of the profile page are fine enough. The tags shifted to the left are definitely better than having everything scrunched to the top with the billion or so other tags.
Well, I would go off on an explanation for the sudden change in my banner and avatar on TV.com (I don't really post that much, so didn't bother changing my sig), but I think this link should prove enough of an explanation. Just check out Glen11523's latest blog entries and you should be all caught up.
So what are you waiting for? PeteWrigley approves of Blackout Day and so should you!
Well first off, thanks to y'all for the good wishes about college. In short, stuff's doing fine so far. Still waking up at six; still being a studious student and getting homework and such done; still brainwashing people to follow my ideals...
Honestly, it wasn't until recently that I realized that I pretty much ended up shaping one of my old cIassmates during high school to my image. It was my still cIassmate that brought it up a day or so ago. It all started when I made my roomie uncomfortable while I was watching one of my Boondocks DVDs. After an ever-so brief burst of anger that could barely even be sensed (I'm good at that kind of tone) when my roomie was surprised that "someone like me" watched such a show, my friend tells me that The Boondocks was one of the many things that I've imprinted into another of my friends. Thinking about it, I never really noticed just how much like me he's become. And to think that if it weren't for me, he'd more than likely just be exactly like his twin right now...
Now that I'm aware that I have such god-like abilities, I think I should take advantage of it.
One thing I absolutely hate doing is being judged. While I can go off in another blog entirely on that topic, I'll try to limit things. In my second (and final!) cIass of the day, as the teacher lectured, I overheard one of the blondies (yes, I know I'm judging myself; sue me
) whispering to the next to her, saying how she'll probably end up borrowing my notes because she had to leave early for one reason or another that day. Still pissed that people like this still exist, I figured I'd take advantage of the situation. In the chance that the chica does call me out for notes, I'm planning on slowly getting into her head, eventually turning her into my next... project.
Twisted? Maybe. But as Rambo said: "They drew first blood!!!" Wow, and to think I only remember that line from watching it on VH1.
