Request Name]
A new approach with no Watched/Acquired ambiguity

[Description]
It seemes that many are puzzled by what exactly does "Wacth" and "Acquire" are relating to (or should relate to). For example - I only Acquired the first episode of "The Shield" but in my "Acquire" column I see S04E13. Perhaps I should be aware that the new episode is around, but I also want to be prompt for E02.

The new "Split Status" does not seem to work around this problem

I offer a new design, with "oldest" and "newest" shows appearing for each column. That way you can always tell what you have to watch or acquire.
The image below should give you a better idea of what I'm aiming at

This looks interesting, but needs to be modified.

There is no reason to have the ignore link 4 times, and you are missing the remove button.

Both should be moved under the show name.

Also I don't think it's a good idea to have a watch/aquired link to the newest show, people might click on it by mistake when the really meant to click on the Oldest.

And what is the meaning of Newest? For Aquire I can guess that it's the last show that aried vs. what you have aquired.

But for Watched what is the meaning of newest? Is it simply the last show you have aquired?

If so, then it's just 1 episode before the last one you have aquired, which is already being reported. So it's unnecessary.

You neeed to rethink the design you are suggesting.

This seems to be fixed already, please check the current algorithm, and if you still think there's a place for a request, you're free to refile it Smile
