Some annoying things with new layout

Some annoying things with new layout

Just some background information: I'm using firefox on a linux desktop machine, not a mobile device. And I'm not going to buy or pirate a windows license just to use this site.

The new layout is cool and all, but there's a few things that currently makes it worse than the old layout.

The most used features on the old page for me was the latest releases part on the left of the front page as well as the "see more" page with the 100 latest episodes. Both that showed the episode number.

The equivalent functionality on the new layout simply is not good enough to replace it.

Suggestions:

1. The TV series listing on the front page and tv page needs to have the episode number visible. Currently you have the viewing rating visible which is.. well completely useless .. compared to the episode number. It seems very weird to prioritize the rating over the episode number.

2. The TV series listing on the front page is trying to be clever by stripping out words from the series title. This, for example, means that it's impossible to distinguish if "Tomorrow" means "Legend of Tomorrow" or "No Tomorrow". Display the full series title on the front page and tv page please. I'm on a desktop, screen estate is not a problem (at all).

3. I'm not really interested in watching movies on your service, yet movies are listed at the top of the front page making me having to scroll down to get to what I'm interested in (Or clicking the TV link which isn't showing the same things as the TV part of the front page for some weird reason.). How about making an option to move the latest TV series list to the top of the main page instead of at the bottom. Either via a cookie (no login required) or via user preferences (login required).

Thanks.

I miss the latest episode list that used to be on the left hand side of the page.  And being able to see my viewing history.

I agree that the most used parts for me were the "see more" on the recently updated list and the sidebar as a whole. I also agree that the episode number and name should be brought back. The stripping of words from titles is a real usability problem that needs to be fixed asap. I do however feel the 'Home' page is fine with movies at the top and if you have no interest in them, then you can set your bookmark to the 'TV' page where they wont bother you.

Edit: I just noticed that the TV page doesn't have a latest updated so I can see how that would be annoying
