Introducing the new contribute system
Hi Awesome Community,
We are stoked to announce that we've released our first version of the new contribute section. You will now be able to report shows that are missing in our database. This brand new section can be found on followmy.tv/contribute. We are looking forward to adding all those missing TV shows to fuel everyone's couch potato lifestyle! :D
This is our first step towards moving followmy.tv to a more community driven database. We believe that having our own data in the future is the way forward to prevent data loss.
Small update: There is a bug with oreign language shows and shows without airdates that prevents them from being imported. We are working on a fix for these. In the meantime, those shows are kept in pending review until the bug is fixed. Our apologies for this inconvenience!

@Dukz Little convincing is needed, its just there to help us identify the show in case if it's a streaming show, specific weird air time etc.
I might add a generic report data feature in before the new version of the entire site, but I rather work on version 3 and get it finished than adding more features to the old version.
@ForgotMyLines It's here: http://followmy.tv/shows/50747/The_Secret_2016 Looking at the followers list, I see you already found it :D
I've been trying to find or add a show called "The Secret" Every time I search for it on here, it doesn't come up with it. I've tried to add it, but says it's already on the Database?
Is it titled wrong? Or is it a mistake and not on the database?

Fantastic addition! I have couple foolish questions still: How much convincing is required for "Why should we add this show" section? Because I myself would honesty just answer "because this show is missing" as enough of a reason to all my suggestions, haha.
Also, are there plans to report missing show image and/or summary? Show images don't seem to show up even if TheTVDB has them.
@Lemon Ah, thank you very much. As simple as that! Sorted.
@ForgotMyLines [spoiler ]This is a spoiler [ /spoiler]
How are people writing posts when the red "spoiler" logo comes up to cover the txt until clicked?
I've never known how to do that, and can't find out what you have to do?
I can live with this ^_^
@Lemon Hehe. That's more like it! :p
Sorry, good idea @ForgotMyLines :D
@microkid Haha, 2. I asked for the "recently added" tab :P
I agree with you, I use this site more than any other. It's brilliant! :D
@ForgotMyLines Haha, I know. 1 point for you, my friend! ;)
@Lemon @microkid Haha, that was agreeing with my idea!! Cheeky sods! :P
@Lemon Happy to help. This site is, besides Facebook, one of the websites I use the most, so I'd willingly do my part if I can help make it even better :)
@microkid Good idea!
@ForgotMyLines I would also love to see a "Report problem" or "Request update" button on each show, lots of shows are just added to the site, and haven't been updated since like 15th september 2015 or so :)
And also, this contribute system is amazing, thank you so much for the work you put into this site, you folks <3
Thanks for the awesome job!
I don't know what I would do without this website.
Thanks Lemon, really appreciate all the work you are putting in :)
@Lemon ah, thank you. I kept searching "bull" and the closest that came up was Bull (2010). I searched on 2 or 3 different days and that never came up. Thanks for the link. Following now :)
Another possible idea for the future. Is it possible to have a "Report" button on shows? For when shows have no episodes on them but have already aired, and when Episodes have stopped updating. Would save all the comments tagging you in on shows. Especially if there are a few of you guys working on the site. It could report to the team, rather than just bothering you with it all? Also cut down on comments all over the Shows about no updates, rather than talking about the show itself?
@ForgotMyLines That show already exists in our db: http://followmy.tv/shows/50748/Bull_2016
