relations tab

couldn't entries in relations tab be links ? sure would be nice.

100% agree :)

i need to revamp this feature, actually... and also have it be database-driven. i haven't been focusing on populating entries as well. so, if you see something where you know the relations (meaning you know them personally, as opposed to just copying the info from anidb) please let me know!

how it works is i start a thread in general anime discussion with the proposed relations, then once a few people agree i put them up.

34+ views and 4 votes ? looks like most users just dont care. web development is rather time consuming activity and doing it out of ones free should deserves some recognition, your not even asked to post a reply just answer the poll.

i don't think it's really necessary in this case, because i fully agree with you (but yes, most people don't respond on here... i've gotten used to it)

iwill definitely implement links in the future for the relations tab, and try to fill in the blanks on other entries

Absolute, it sounds like a solid addition to this already wonderful website.

Excuse my idiocy, but I don't really understand what's being asked here.

1) find a anime in anireq with relations tab
2) click it
3) select any entry in that tab
4) wonder why it isnt a link

i guess it will be fixed eventually, it isnt very urgent problem

I think the relations tab is a good idea. It's the kind of feature I don't use too often because I'm usually too busy trying to get hold of it and watch it. BUT those times I have used it, it's been an interesting and useful read. Also, for those serieses which are not obviously sequels e.g. that don't have a 2 after them, this is informative. Like I'm currently reading the one on Chobits. It's also another way to make recs, I guess.

I always use the relations tab if there is one. When I watch something, I want to watch the whole thing. I have tried to click the names in the relations tab thinking they were links... but oh well. Its not too hard to just go find it :)

this will basically just be an issue of constructing a new db table and system for relations. right now it's just a bunch of text typed in. what i'll have to do is design a system for linking other anime ids and also information for each. so it won't be difficult, just a little time consuming :) (i have to design and code it, and then go through all existing relations and put them into that format)
