SpoilerTV FAQ - Getting the most out of the site

Introduction
New people are visiting SpoilerTV all the time and as a result my mailbag gets full of emails from people asking questions about how to use the site, how to stay updated etc etc. So I thought it would make sense to try and create a FAQ/Help Article that tries to give you some information about getting the most out of SpoilerTV.


Working Your Way Around The Site

Navigation
Moving around the site is fairly straightforward but for some new users I thought it would be good to have a quick refresher.

The site, when you go to the homepage, provides a constant stream of news and information with the latest item being shown at the top.

Clickling 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.



You can also filter the homepage to show just the show that you are interested in. You can do this in several ways.

1) By selecting the show from the Navigation Menu

2) By selecting the show from the Dropdown menu in the sidebar

3) Clicking one of the show labels underneath one of the post titles.

Any of these will cause the homepage to reload and just show you articles that relate to that show.

Searching
You can also additionally search the site by using our search tool which is located in the Sidebar. Simply enter your search and press Enter or click the Search Button. You can also see below the search box the most popular searches currently on the site.

Submitting Scoop
This site relies heavily on YOU, the fans. When you find some new info that we've yet to post on the site, please use the "Submit a Scoop" link to send it to our team who will check and then post the info.

Staying Updated
With technology moving faster and faster and people consuming more and more information from around the web, it's very important that we provide you with several ways to stay up-to-date with SpoilerTV.

RSS Feeds
SpoilerTV provides you with a number of RSS Feeds that you can use in favourite feedreader or use in any widgets such as iGoogle etc. To view the RSS Feeds available simply view any post on the site and then in the sidebar you can see our list of RSS Feeds.

Twitter
Twitter is becoming a more and more popular way to stay connected with both Friends and other Sites. Please feel free to follow one or all of our Twitter Accounts below.

Daily Digest
Not everyone likes Twitter or RSS Feeds and prefers a more relaxed and less immediate form of staying up to date. We also provide a simple Daily Digest Email that will email you daily and list all the new content that has been posted since your previous Daily Digest arrived. This is a great way to ensure you don't miss anything or if you are on the road. Simple use the form below to signup.

Chrome Extension
Recently we introduced our very own extension for any Chrome users. This will alert you in your browser whenever there is new content on show or shows that you specify. We already have nearly 2,000 users using this. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

If you've not used the Chrome Browser yet I cannot stress enough how much you should use it. It's the fastest and most secure browser currently available.

Comments and Community
One of the things we pride ourselves on is the friendly community of people from around the world that visit our site on a daily basis. There are several tools/sites that we use to help build this community further.

Facebook Comments/Like/Fan Page
We have our own Facebook Page for SpoilerTV that allows those of you who spend thier time in Facebook to see the updates quickly and to be able to Like/Comment on these stories and articles.

If you have not already done so, please visit the Page and give us a "Like"

Tweet Buttons
When you visit the site you will see on the right-hand side of the post a Tweetme button. This enables you to see which articles are being retweeted as well as being able to retweet the post to your followers.



By doing this you help us to grow and promote the site.

Comments
Each post that appears on SpoilerTV provides you with the ability to comment on it. We love reading your comments/questions and try to answer any questions you have. It's also a great way to find new friends who also share the same interests in your shows.

The commenting system is pretty easy to use. Simply type in your comment and press the Post Button. If you are already logged in then your comment will be posted immediatly, if you're not logged in your will be prompted to. You can log on using your Facebook, Twitter, OpenID, Disqus and/or Yahoo accounts or you can simply post as a guest with an Name/Email.



Also when you are viewing a post, you can see the most recent comments that have been posted on the site in the right-hand side bar.



Please see this post for further details on the comments and community features

Forums
A few years ago we added a Forum to the site and in that 2 years we've had over 500,000 posts, 20,000 Topics, and over 15,000 people sign up. It's a very friendly place to not only discuss your shows, spoilers and news etc but also join in a number of fun other discussions and games. There are also a number of non-tv related sub-forums. Have a look around and sign up... it's free :)

Mobile
We realise that a lot of people now use their mobile more and more to access content on the Internet and to stay up to date. I use my mobile (Nexus One) more and more these days.

We've designed SpoilerTV to be as Mobile Friendly as possible with all the latest smartphones and if you have one of the latest Android Phones the flash videos etc should all work.

Having said that we also provide some other Mobile features for those with older phones or low bandwidth.

Video Playing
Most of the videos we post on the site are standard YouTube videos. However, some sites use their own video players/formats. Most people have no problems playing these videos, however some people do. If this is you here are some steps that might help.

1) What Browser and version are you using?
2) Do you have any Popup/Ad Blockers installed?
3) Have you tried clearing your cache (http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache)
4) Do you have the latest version of Adobe Flash (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP)
5) Does it happen if you use another browser like Chrome?
6) Are you at Work or at Home? If at work, maybe your office have blocked the video.


Things Coming in the Future
We're always looking at ways to improve the site and to provide features that make it easier for you to use. Below are some of the features we've currently got in our To Do list.

Firefox and Safari Browser Extensions
With the success of our Chrome Extension, we're looking at migrating the code so that it can work for users of the Firefox and Safari Browsers.

Customisable Homepage
One of things we've been wanting to do for a while is to allow you to customise your homepage here at SpoilerTV. This would allow you to select in your options all the shows/sections that you want displayed on you page. Then whenever you revist the site it just shows the show(s) that you're interested in.

Android/iPhone and iPad Versions
We're looking at developing native applications for the major phone/pad systems. This should make accessing and using the site a lot more fun


Thanks for making it this far. We hope you have found this useful and as always if you have any questions/suggestions/comments please do not hesitate in asking us. You can either email me direct or you can leave a comment below.
