How Does SpoilerTV Work?
New people are visiting SpoilerTV all the time and to avoid people emailing the staff asking questions about how to use the site, how to stay updated etc etc. we have put together this section which explains everything about the site.
If you want to know how to get the most out of SpoilerTV, read this guide...

Working Your Way Around The Site

Navigation of the Home Page - All Content
The site's homepage, spoilertv.com provides a constant stream of TV news, information, spoilers, teasers, reviews &articles from across the globe. The most current item is at the top of the page.

Clicking on a post title will take you to the content of that post as well as giving you the ability to view any comments that have been left or to add your own thoughts.



Finding Show Specific Content
Instead of searching through tons of all the content to find information on specific shows, you can search for that individual show in a few ways.

1. Find the show you want on the main menu bar at the top of the homepage. Shows are sorted by US network, for example 'Castle' can be found under 'ABC':



2. You can also find the show by selecting it from the Drop-Down menu (Alphabetical Order) on the right hand side of the homepage:



3. Clicking one of the 'Labels' that can be found attached to every post on the site:



Searching for Information

It can be found at the top of the right hand sidebar



Simply type in your search and press Enter or click on the Search button.



The results will then be displayed in a popup.



Once you have the search results displayed, there are a few things you can do.

Search Only Images
At the top of the Search Results you will see 2 tabs. One for web/articles and one for Images.



Clicking on the Images tab will display images that match your search.



The Search Engine searches both the main SpoilerTV.com site as well as our Image Gallery.

2) Relevance vs Date
By default the results are sorted by Newest Matches first (Date). This is because we feel that you will want to see the most recent posts, rather than looking at old press releases/sneak peeks etc for episodes that have aired.



However you can also sort your Search Results by Relevance to improve the accuracy of the search. Click on the Sort By field and select Relevance.



3) Further Refinements
You can also further refine your search by items such as Press Releases, Reviews, Sneak Peeks etc



Simply click the appropriate tab.

Submitting TV Scoop
SpoilerTV relies on you, as TV fans to help us bring as much TV content as possible onto the website. To do that you can 'Submit a Scoop' by clicking on the Start or Features Menu and select'Submit Scoop' in the menu bar.



Clicking 'Submit a Scoop' will bring you to a Pop-Up Box where you simply enter name, email address, the website url of where you found the information (for us to validate) and then a description of what you have found. Click Submit and it will arrive with the SpoilerTV staff:
