Hey guys, it's been a long time ago when I let you know what is going on. Hopefully there are some people who haven't forgotten me...
I've started making a new version of the site last year. It has taken me a long time. I had to code the whole site from scratch because I decided to build it on a framework. The result paid off, especially for the back-end of the site. The front-end has a brand new design. On this blog you can see a few things the new design will have. For example: the logo, the colors and the background image.
The main reason to make a new site was that I wanted to make the site easier to use and a bit more organized. Also I just really like making websites from time-to-time. The fun part is making the design and coding a lot of great stuff. The problem begins with finishing the site. That takes a long time and is a bit boring.
The new site will bring you a blog-style overview of the episodes that aired the previous day. You can select your favorite shows, just like on the old site. It will also feature the "links to other search sites" as you may remember from the old site. These are links to, for example, google. When you click on it, it will take you directly to the google search engine and perform a search for the selected episode. This is really nice for stream sites like hulu or netflix. You see that an episode has aired, you click on the link, and you can stream it without searching yourself. We will provide a few links. With an account you can edit them or create new ones.
The new site will launch this month. When exactly, i'm not sure. I'll have to update the database, edit a few pages and perform some bug tests. So check back soon and I'll keep you updated!
I hope you guys like it! :)

Btw: the watchlist we had on the old site, will be absent when we launch. I am making a new version of that page but it is taking a little bit longer as expected.
