• The owners have decided to end the Just Watch project and wants to thank the user base for their patience and understanding in doing trials like this in attempts to help improve the site revenue. We apologize to anyone who was annoyed or offended by the integration. We would never let any streaming giants, or any other entity for that matter, ever dictate what we can and can't do on TV Tropes.

Kory:

• New partnership with JustWatch. You'll see a modal on the bottom of some work page images and a "Watch Now" subpage button which links to where you can watch certain shows and movies if its available on a streaming service to watch in your specific region. (screenshot below)

• You can turn this off in your profile settings. (see screenshot below)
• This partnership may be temporary depending on how successful it is so this is just a test run since we've never really done partnerships before.
• You may notice some links to the wrong version of a movie or show with identical names, this is because we don't store the year things are made on our site, something we probably should change if we want to improve the accuracy in such cases.
• There's no way to add more options for viewing things, the only options will be from JustWatch partners.
• Viewing options are region specific, so if something is available to watch in another country or region and you aren't in that region it wont show for you unless you use a VPN.

June 18:

From the site owner:

"We added a concept for a "root page", which is a groupname that is considered more top level than the other groupnames in a title. For example, Series/Smallville which is the works page will be the top level for all the pagse with the title "Smallville" including Characters/Smallville, Awesome/Smallville, etc. so they'll all link back to the series page at the top. This also applies to trope pages where it will be the root page for the subpages with the same title (ie: Main/Wendigo will be the root page for Quotes/Wendigo). A root page is automatically selected based on the following hiarachy.

• 1) Franchise
• 2) Series
• 3) Western Animation
• 4) Film
• 5) Video Game
• 6) Anime
• 7) Manga
• 8) Comic Book
• 9) Literature
• 10) Fanfic
• 11) Main

After that it will just select the first works page it sees. If there is no works or Main page in the title then it won't have a root page. The automatically selected root page can be changed by a moderator. Please let us know if a page needs to be changed. We'll setup a page to make it easier to submit requests if we find many need to be manually updated. A root page will also link to its index if available. For example, Series/Smallville will link to Main/Series to make a clear path from say it's character list back to the series page and back to the index.

The main purpose of this is for google SEO and for newer users to more easily navigate the site."

1. Enable caching system for server - If you are NOT logged-in you'll receive a cached page from the server which can be as old as 3 minutes old. Unless you submit a form then it will bypass the caching system. This should greatly reduce the server load so it doesn't have to dynamically build the page for every pageview millions of times per day. The future versions should cache trope/forum pages for everyone and then rebuild it only when something changes.
2. Remove unused pixels (ie: comscore, retargeting, etc.)
== END: CHRIS ==
