Story Repeats - on the roadmap

This is marvellous! Absolutely brilliant! I also do loads of repeats so this is very useful.

However, now I have even more cleaning to do to make my diary look right. I wasn’t even done with fixing all the original completion dates yet…

But this sure is a great feature that I believe a lot of people will use!

I did just try it though for the repeat of Legend of Ruby Sunday that I did on the 8th. I love that repeats are a thing, but because nearly all of the repeats that I’d log for this year are from all my bulk adding that I did last year, my autism doesn’t like that I don’t know the exact dates I listened/read/watched a story and thus can’t be accurate. If I relisten to something that I know last year was my first encounter, then I will definitely log it as a repeat. Take TLORS. Because I watched it when it aired, I will definitely log any repeat viewings as repeats. An Unearthly Child on the other hand, because I have no idea when I first watched it or when excatly my last viewing was, it will be marked as if it were my first viewing.

On a side note, it appears that you can state that you repeated something from the story page, but can only change the date of repeats in the Diary. I don’t know if this is something that needs tinkering with or just documentation somewhere. Because the date you can change on the story page is the date of first viewing.

Oh, I don’t worry, I won’t otherwise I’d have to out myself how many Times I did certain Stories as well and we cant have that! :laughing:

The thing is too that the TG callout stat isn t even true because some of these episodes I listened to millions of times before this place began :sob:

Oh you are right… I can’t believe shauny would do such a Thing, he should have made this Site already YEARS AGO!! Typical.. :roll_eyes: /j

It’s okay because TG will last forever so in years to come we can break his repeat counter by listening to some stories 1000000 times :blush:

There should be a Badge at this Point for the most amount of repeats!!! :star_struck:

Do I try logging all my repeats of Scherzo? I think that would dwarf my completed counter

Yeah this is a UI issue, I may eventually add to the Story page a way to view all repeats and edit them there, but for now it’s just in the diary.

This is fantastic! :star_struck: I love marking repeats – in my spreadsheet where I put all my Doctor Who stories I’ve got an extra column just for repeats and it’s fun seeing which stories I’ve listened to the most (Stones of Venice at current count)!

I have one question – would there ever be a way to mark a repeat as going into the Archive? Because for most of my repeats, I know how many times I’ve listened, but not when. But small thing!

(This has reminded me that I’m not actually a Patron yet!! Even though I’ve been planning to be one for a while… :eyes:)

Actually that’s a good point. I’ll look into it.

OK, repeats can now go in the archive :blush:

How’s that for quick turnaround? Worthy of becoming a Patron surely… :winking_face_with_tongue:

A greater display of technological wizardry I have rarely seen! You shall have my patronage within the day, sir!

(Wild that I’m not a Patron already. I absolutely should be given how much I use the site!!)

Any chance I can do this in bulk? I have too many of tv and audio repeats before joining TG and I logged them all one day in August last year…

Will be difficult for me to get the bulk feature working, as it’s 2 different databases, it’s on my list but I wasn’t going to prioritise it right now.

However, as you are a valued Patron, if you tell me the date (and if it’s EVERY repeat on that date) I can do some DB tweaking and fix them all for you.

No! Things are not meant to be easy! We are meant to spend many hours and days on the site, while fixing our stats! That’s the beauty of hard manual labour!

The date is August 8th! Thank you so much!!! :star_struck:

Nooooo! I already spend hours and days on the site, I don’t need them all to be fixing stats!
