So I logged into Viki and there is a new interface now. The “Coming Soon” is now completely different layout. It’s disappointing because 1) You now no longer see everything that is on “Coming Soon” status and there are no longer pages. 2) I cannot follow any of the “Coming Soon” series or films. The add to Following function is gone. Are other people having the same issues?

@table122000,
Ring the bell :bell: to add shows to your following page. Shows without the bell, can be added to your Watchlist page. Make sure your Desktop Site view is checked, if you’re on your mobile. The functions are less when in mobile/smartphone view.

Thanks for the tips. The new shows don’t have the “bell.” I don’t really like the Watchlist function, I much prefer to use following, so I’m disappointed that Viki is forcing people to use the Watchlist function. However, I’m more upset that the “Coming Soon” area is not listing all of the titles that are liscensed by Viki, so I can’t add them to my Watchlist even if I wanted to. It is very frustrating. I guess Viki does not want viewers to know all the titles that have been liscensed in advance. I’m not sure why. I would think it would be a good thing to let everyone know this information so that people can help spread the news. It really sucks.

Not all, some do, on mobile view the bell is not always visible. Desktop site view will definitely show all functions, once you open that particular show. I am like you, I love the follow page, and not the watchlist page.

I finally experienced the new interface. I don’t understand why, unlike most of the other categories, when you click on “see all” for the “coming soon”, it doesn’t take you to a full list. You only get the small selection in the scroll row and then a whole list of “New” content, even though this also does not seem like a comprehensive list.

Yes, exactly. The “Coming Soon” is not listing all of the titles liscensed by Viki. It is very frustrating. Also, as you point out, it does not make sense. I do not understand why Viki wants to hide the information about forthcoming series and films.

I loved this

Some might think of it as a utopia and some may view it as an unrealistic wish, but if the generation where we care about, understand, and hug each other can grow wider, and our ability to hug becomes greater, I hope viewers will feel that the person Woo Young Woo has shown us can exist wherever, whenever.”

This is how I feel about happy endings too. Our ability to embrace each other does become greater.

That is so beautifully stated.

I think all of us who crave happy endings understand the sentiment. I know I do.

Just wanted to say to all community members who grew up with this lady’s image on their money or her portrait on their wall that I was sorry to read on the Guardian website this afternoon about her passing.

(CNN website)

I myself have a fair amount of English DNA packed in each and every cell (and sometimes I find it in conflict with the Scotch-Irish, French, Welsh, and German DNA that’s there as well), and I am surprisingly sad at her passing.

Compared to others of her family who had the term King or Queen affixed to their given names, Lilibet was a game old girl who took her responsibilities, her faith, and her subjects seriously. Her necessarily insulated life and her sense of duty made it hard to think outside the cultural box at times, and perhaps her worst moment as Queen was her initially unbending response to Princess Diana’s death.

But compared to the man who will soon ascend the throne, she was a remarkable soul.

(It’s too bad that, when Charles and Diana got so nastily divorced, his sister Anne wasn’t allowed to bump him out of the lineup and become heir to the throne.)

At any rate, it’s a sad day. Somebody truly special has left the stage of human history.
