Smaller Suggestions

July 4, 2015 11:21 AM

There are two small additions, which should make the FanFare homepage even more usable: - add "(x new)" next to the comments under "My FanFare" in the sidebar; I have this information on the My FanFare page itself but it's "hard" to get there, also if you don't have a ton of shows fanfa(vo)red the sidebar is more than enough - a short link to the show's page somewhere in the homepage or My FanFare lists for each entry (perhaps in the small timestamp and user-footer for each post) Thank you for your consideration!

Thanks for the suggestions, KMB. We'll think about these.

Can you describe your second suggestion a bit more? It sounds like you want a link to the show page in more places but I'm not sure what you mean. Can you describe the problem you're having in addition to the fix for it? Maybe that will help me understand more what you're after.

Sure. The last line of a post on the FF front page reads like "posted by skewed at 21:40 - 1 comment +" Now if I'm interested in the show (especially during pilot-season or because it's a podcast I haven't heard of) I might want to go directly to the page of the show in question instead of first going to the post, which may spoil stuff, and then to the show's page. The addition of a short link like "Show's Page" or "Show Info" at the end of said last line, would be nice to have.

Small addendum: The footer-link mentioned could also be easily used to link to a club's page. Right now I couldn't find a link to a club page from within a post.
