Let's fill the stable: My Fanfare

September 12, 2014 1:15 PM

I would like to (without using RSS, and without making bookmarks) be able to go to one page on Fanfare and see all of the threads posted about only the series that I care about.

An 80% solution (three-legged pony?) would be for the My Mefi and My Ask tag-based functionality to be replicated on Fanfare.

Ideally though, I could click on a button beside each TV/Movie on associated archive list and add it to a "watchlist", just in case threads aren't tagged with the series name.

Please pretty please?

In exchange for your consideration/indulgence I give you Molly (the 3 legged pony)

I think we have this, if I'm understanding you right. "Show pages" - for example here's the Doctor Who show page.

But we get this request now and again, so maybe the answer isn't sufficiently visible.

Or, wait, no - you're wanting to be able to have one page where you can track all posts about multiple selected shows?

Thanks for the suggestion. This is definitely something we want to do. We're picturing a My Fanfare where you can pick your favorite shows. We have some bigger irons in the fire right now, but we do want this too.

Yeah, personally I'd just like one page that has only: Hannibal, Star Trek: TOS, and The Wire (right now).

I know I could make bookmarks of each of those show pages, but I don't wanna.

For example, I made this very request for a small equine here.

I love the show page, but can't figure out how to get to them except via recently added icons.

This request isn't going to change my conviction to post about every episode of Being Mary Jane. #Sorrynotsorry

Can I ask that there be a section at the wide on the My FanFare page that highlights newly added shows and reviewed or popular threads, because it'd be easy to end up missing coverage of other good stuff. I use followshows to track TV and it's pretty good at highlighting relevant shows.

You can get to the full list of shows and movies by clicking the Archives link in the FanFare header.
