I would prefer not to have to change the pictures.  You know we try and use slimmer banners.  The ones I have changed have been to do this in exchange for regular cast pictures.  There are already banners in most of the episode guides.  Why didn't you include it them the abouts?  Plus, please include a place for episode guides, "watch it now" and how to become a VIP member links.  You know the formula by now, so there's no reason you should make me have to do that work for you.

Also, please include the links to either IMDb or wikipedia for the actors.  I'm not awarding your points until you do those edits yourself.  If I have to do them, I'll have Tina award me the points for doing all the extra work.

Serena already asked to do the epi guides for Medium, and probably has season 3 mostly done.  Remember to check the list.  

BTW, In Plain Site is now taken.

I don't mind if it's not perfect, but you have been leaving out basic elements which creates extra work for me.  Feel free to take your time.  If need be (as in - if I don't check your edits), send me a PM to remind me to check them.

It was better Graham.  The source and watch it now links should be smaller though.  See the season 2 guide Serena did above.  As Serena said, I continually update the list, & it's colour coded to let anyone interested know which are already taken.  There are some shows that don't have guides not listed, and if you find one, please make a post in this thread letting me know you'd like to do it so I can add it to the list.  That way others will know not to bother with that show.   Here's the current list.

I'm going offline for a bit now (before my meds quit on me completely), as I have a bad migraine today and the screen is a killer.  Just wanted to check in briefly to see what needed to be checked.

Have fun everyone & I'll catch ya' later.

Hey all!

I'll do the edits tomorrow (hopefully).  My migraine is getting worse, and I just can't do it today.  But here's a better banner for Blood Ties:

Fanpop is a good site to check for banners.  Also, sometimes the images are fine (like a banner with a cast picture) but the name of the show isn't on it.  I just edit those to add the name.  Another thing I sometimes do is a google image search for a show to see what comes up.  You're getting better Graham.   I'm finding there's less to edit with each thing you do.  Check the edits I've done on the abouts & guides you've already posted, and make the font sizes the same.  I know sometimes you may have too many characters & it won't let you put it in one post (just ask Serena).  If that happens, feel free to do it in 2 posts, as I can edit it into 1.

I still have that wicked migraine - this is my 1st venture out of the dark today - so I can't check the things that need editing yet.  I'll get to it as soon as I can.  

Feel free to keep posting stuff people.  I don't mind doing a bunch of editing when I'm feeling better.

Thanks Bala.  I'm still not feeling p to par, but was able to do the few edits needed on a couple of your abouts today.  Much better, so thank you.   I've sent myself a PM of which post to start on next.

Reply  7667#7667 grah3's post

Graham, I finished editing Blood Ties.  That too was much improved, and there was a lot less to edit.  Well done!    For Fear Itself, check out a couple other sites, like wikipedia & NBC to fill out the "about the show" section.  Being an anthology series, there isn't really a cast, so what you have is fine for that.  Thanks.

Thanks Graham.  I'm ever hopeful of awaking pain-free tomorrow.  These migraines are just miserable, and make getting anything done very difficult.

That's odd.  I have no idea why your table wasn't showing earlier.  Remember to untick the box "show signature" when you post it in the show forum.

Don't forget the image source.  I added the empty urls, as they will just have to be filled in when the show is added.   Also, add either IMDb or wiki links for the actors.

I meant the individual links for the actors in the table.  If the image source won't link, just site the name of the site is fine.  Credit where credit is due.

I didn't mean you in particular.  We have so many new shows, and I hadn't finished editing Bala's either (I have now), plus I still have a TON of stuff to do at home.   We (the other mods & I) appreciate the efforts of members like yourself who add to the friendliness of the forum.

As for L&O, I know!  Just check the abouts for Lost & Heroes and you'll see how much fun I had with those.
