Would it be possible to add some way to flag duplicates directly on the site?

For example adding a link "this is/has a duplicate" next to the "refresh data" that open a pop-up where you can enter a link to the duplicate/original of a movie/show, maybe even a comment if details are needed.
It would be easier and quicker for user to inform you about them and you could even see the links that are flagged more often and correct them first.

It would reduce the number of support messages and make duplicate/error signaling accessible to the less curious of us who never checked what the "Help" link was about or never had the motivation to search and find out how to signal a duplicate.

The text associated with 1-10 star ratings currently isn't very helpful.
For example, I feel like Star Wars: The Force Awakens is described best of the options with "weak sauce", but I don't think it was as bad as a 1.
It's the same with the other end: I could describe Scott Pilgrim as "totally ninja", but don't feel like it was a 10/10 masterpiece film.

I'm coming from MyAnimeList, where the 10 points each have a non-subjective position on the scale which I use to help me decide on an appropriate rating for the series/film. It helps stop me from rating merely "great" things as a 10 instead of a 9, and from rating shows that weren't too bad with a much lower score.

Is there any chance of the scale using better terminology? It doesn't have to be all super-serious, but terms like "weak sauce" and "totally ninja" carry different weights between different people. I assume that this was meant as fun since most people seem to be able to rate something out of 10 by magic, but I don't have that ability and rely on the attached descriptors to make a better judgement. The most specific I can get without assistance is "really good", "good", "meh" or "bad".

I suppose my solution should be to memorise MAL's descriptors so I get better at rating things. But this is still important to help other people from rating things too highly out of hype or too poorly out of hate.

If I may, I'd like to ask for a slightly more 'forgiving' search engine which gives us humans the opportunity to do what we do best - make mistakes or at least be allowed not to be 100% precise all the time about our input, for instance searches including release years "Life (2015)", forgotten dots instead of space characters "Life.in.Pieces" and even more obvious spelling mistakes, which trakt at this point really does not approve of (= no results).

In my experience the IMDB engine does quite a good job in terms of 'fuzzy string searching' and I would love to see trakt getting there some day.

There should be an option in the settings menu that allows users to choose the tracking level they desire (for example, a dropdown list called "Tracking Level" with the options "basic", "standard" and "data nerd").

When a user sets their level to basic, they will not be required to record watch dates and can view their lists without any indication of the watch date. This will essentially simplify tracking to a watchlist, watched history, collected and rated. The only date visible could be a "date added" which simply indicates when you added it to a list in Trakt.

Reason for suggestion: When first signing up to Trakt and wanting to add a backlog of films and tv shows I have already watched to my history, the idea of entering the date that I watched them is pretty daunting and just defaulting to release date, although providing a quick option, then makes all of your statistics feel wrong and the way in which lists are sorted by watch date really plays on any glimmer of organisational "OCD" you may have. I want to take advantage of the features in Trakt to track all the things I have watched and all the things I want to and to be able to quickly add and move items around in these lists. Having access to show schedules and upcoming releases is also very handy, however I am reluctant to get stuck in as I feel like I can't get my history right. The dates have essentially provided a barrier for me to using the service regularly.

Hello Trakt.tv team,

I have had my Trakt.tv Progress page bookmarked to my home screen on my Android phone for well over a year now. It's so functional that I see no reason for an app, and I thank you sincerely for that. However there is one small but very relevant detail that I personally feel would make your mobile site much more comprehensible; that is having the show info displayed under the episode's visual aid/screenshot, as opposed to the info displaying above as it presently does.

Here you can see that on the mobile site the episode info is above the visual aid and far away from the controls (checking as watched, adding to my collection, saving to lists, and displaying streamable sources): https://imgur.com/a/nZqSZ

I personally especially expect to see the info displayed below because on your desktop site the episode info is displayed left → right (see here: https://i.imgur.com/TXYsdSn.png), which typically coordinates to up → down on mobile. I find this small detail consistently very confusing and less effective as it stands, and I ask that you only move episode details from the top of the visual aid to beneath it on mobile. Thank you so much for your service. I greatly appreciate both your website and your user service.

Sincerely,

JS
