Question about the story buttons

Is there a way to alter the number of times the TARDIS.Guide website thinks I have watched a story? I accidentally made it so it says I’ve watched Snakedance eight times. I like Snakedance but I’ve watched it maybe four times in my life, not eight. If I click on this button, it may remove my rating, but not this number.

Additionally, since the little box on the list says “Unowned”, I never thought to press it till now, since I already own it. Rather naively, I inferred that clicking on the box would confirm that one does not own it! Instead, clicking on it changes it to “Owned”; perhaps there is a clearer way to showing that clicking on an Unowned story will mark it instead as Owned? Maybe “Owned?” with a question mark as a more positive button to press? Just an idea.

Yes! I explain how here:

I’m quoting this part, because I think it’s an interesting point and think it’s good for @shauny to see it.

There have been a couple people misclick the repeat button a few times so I need to fix this - I’ve thought about putting the number on the repeat button as well as the “complete” button, would that help?

Buttons are difficult to name. They can either show an action (like “mark as owned”) which would be clearer but is too wordy, or be a “toggle” (start as “unowned” and toggle to “owned” when clicked) which is what I did here.

As it’s easy to toggle that one on and off, I think the wording is fine as it is? What do people think? Any ideas to change the buttons in general?

It never confused me. But it can have a checkbox at the front to give more clarity

I’ve also never found it confusing, but if some people do, it might need a rethink.
