Hi! I understand you're trying to manage your lists on the new version of the trakt.TV app but are finding some features missing, and you wish to revert to the old version. Let me help you out with this.

To start, could you tell me if you are using trakt.TV through the website, a desktop app, or a mobile app on your Windows device? Also, have you tried any steps so far to find or manage your lists in the new version?

Meanwhile, I want to share that many users have reported missing list editing and management features in the latest update of the app or website interface, such as the ability to rename lists, reorder them, or fully edit entries1 5.

Regarding reverting to the old version, trakt.TV generally pushes updates that replace the previous interface, and there might not be a built-in option to toggle back to the old UI. However, some workarounds include:

1. Using the trakt.TV website on a desktop browser and clearing the cache or trying a different browser to see if an older version persists.
2. If you are using a community-maintained app or third-party tool, check if older versions are available for download.
3. Providing feedback to trakt.TV support about missing list features, as they may restore or improve them in future updates.

If managing lists in the new version is essential for you now, I can guide you through the current method of creating, editing, and viewing lists on trakt.TV, to see if any features are accessible or if alternative solutions exist.

Would you like me to walk you through managing your lists step by step on the new version? Also, please confirm how you usually access trakt.TV and any specific list features you’re missing or need urgently.

Using desktop. Have tried 3 computers and 3 different browsers. There are no tabs to manage your lists and reorder the shows in the lists.

Thank you for the details and for trying multiple browsers and computers. That helps narrow the problem down.

From what I see, the new trakt.TV interface on desktop has significantly changed how lists are managed. The classic tabs and drag-and-drop reordering of shows within lists appear to be either missing or behaving unpredictably currently. Some users on trakt forums and Reddit report that while they can confirm "Order updated!" messages after attempting to reorder, the changes do not actually stick upon refresh1. Others mention no dedicated tabs or controls for list management in the new interface, making it difficult or impossible to reorder or directly edit lists2 3.

Here are a few steps you can try given this situation:

1. Sorting via "Default" Button:
When viewing a list (like your Watchlist or any personal list), look for a "Default" button or dropdown near the list's title. Clicking this may show sorting options such as by "Date added," "Title," or others. This may be the current way to reorder list items, even if drag-and-drop is no longer supported2.

2. Check List Settings:
Sometimes list management options can be hidden behind three-dot menus ("⋮") or gear icons on the list page. These may include options to rename, delete, or possibly reorder entries.

3. Try Keyboard Shortcuts or Long Press:
Some users have noted that reordering isn’t intuitive. You might try clicking and holding (long press) on a show title and dragging to reorder, or trying to use keyboard commands. However, this method is inconsistent on desktop.

4. Clear Cache and Cookies or Try Incognito Mode:
Although you tried multiple browsers, testing the site in incognito/private mode can sometimes bypass caching issues that affect dynamic features.

5. Feedback to trakt.TV:
Since these changes seem to be part of a new version rollout, trakt.TV support or community forums may already be aware. Reporting your experience can help prioritize fixing missing list management features. You can reach out via their support email or forum posts.

6. Alternative Workaround:
If managing detailed lists is critical, consider using third-party trakt.TV-compatible apps or extensions that specialize in list editing, where drag-and-drop or more granular controls might still exist.

Unfortunately, as of now, trakt.TV’s own desktop interface has limited or broken list management features in the new version, and rolling back to the old UI is not officially supported.

If you’d like, I can assist you further with locating those sorting options or help explore third-party tools that might restore list reordering capability. What do you think? Would you like me to guide you on how to use the "Default" sorting button or explore other options?

I have spent 3 days trying every tab, button and 3 lines on the site. Nothing gets you to reordering your shows. Just tell me they will fix it someday. Very frustrating and disappointing

I hear you, and I completely understand how disappointing this situation is. Based on the latest information, the current way to reorder shows within your custom lists on trakt.TV is a bit hidden but still possible:

1. Go to your custom list on the trakt.TV website using your desktop.
2. Click the three-dot menu (“⋮”) in the top right corner of the list page.
3. Select “Edit Items” from that menu.
4. You should then be able to drag and drop the shows up and down to reorder them.
5. After arranging the shows as you want, click “Done” (usually appears in place of Edit Items).
6. Click the three-dot menu again and choose “Set Current Order As Rank” to save your reordered list.

This method replaces the old pencil icon and classic tabs, so it’s not very visible or intuitive at first glance but still functional1.

I realize this workaround lacks the straightforward interface users were used to before, and trakt.TV has acknowledged some ordering and list management concerns in the new UI. They are likely working on improvements.

For now, I recommend trying these steps and seeing if this approach works for you. Would you like me to assist you through this process step-by-step on your desktop?

Also, if you want, I can help you give feedback directly to trakt.TV support to emphasize how important restoring full list management features is for you.

Are you satisfied with this solution so far?

Edit items only lets you delete a show. NOTHING is working. Will they fix it someday or give us the old version again!

I completely understand your frustration with the current situation where the trakt.TV app only allows deleting shows from lists, and reordering or editing beyond that isn’t working.

The good news is that trakt.TV is aware of the issues many users are having with the new user interface, especially with list management. However, they have not provided an option to revert to the old UI anymore, as the redesign is now fully enforced on all platforms. Users used to be able to access the old version by modifying the URL or app version, but that option has been removed1 3.

From community discussions and trakt representative responses, trakt.TV is working to restore and improve missing features, including better list management, but it looks like the full set of capabilities—such as reordering shows in lists—is still pending2. Several users have expressed their hopes and concerns there as well.

So while there is no quick fix for now and no official way to revert to the old UI, trakt.TV’s team is actively working on these feature gaps. Your feedback and reports help them prioritize these fixes, so I strongly recommend submitting your input directly through their support channels or forums if you haven’t yet.

If you’d like, I can help you draft a clear feedback message to trakt.TV support to make sure your concerns about list editing and reordering are heard.

Are you satisfied with this explanation for now? Would you like assistance sending feedback, or exploring third-party tools as a temporary workaround?

I'm sure they are hearing from lots of very unsatisfied customers presently. I will wait and hope they fix it. Are they setting it to only working with new OS systems? I run Win 7 but I did try my android box too and it looks the same.

Thanks for sharing your concerns about OS compatibility along with your device info. You mentioned running Windows 7 on your desktop and trying an Android box with the same result — that definitely helps to understand the scope.

To answer your question: trakt.TV’s recent updates and feature changes do not officially restrict functionality only to newer operating systems like Windows 10 or 11. The web version—which you are most likely using on your Windows 7 desktop and also accessible on your Android box—is designed to be compatible across common browsers regardless of OS version.

However, there are community reports indicating some users on older systems such as Windows 7 experience certain glitches or limited functionality since late 2023, possibly due to newer web technologies and security protocols that older OS and browsers handle less efficiently. For example, some users report categories not populating fully or syncing issues since October 20231 3.

Similarly, some third-party apps integrated with trakt.TV (which might run on Windows or Android) have sync failures or UI glitches tied to recent platform or API changes, but these are separate from official trakt.TV website compatibility2.

So in summary:
- No official policy to limit functionality to new OS versions only.
- But Windows 7 users might encounter some degraded experience or missing features due to technological evolution on the trakt.TV platform since late 2023.
- Android box users face similar UI and list management changes because the app/website interface itself has changed drastically for everyone.

As a workaround, I suggest:
- Using up-to-date browsers (like Chrome, Firefox) in their latest versions on your Windows 7 machine, even if OS is older.
- Checking for system updates or browser updates where possible.
- Continuing to monitor trakt.TV forums or announcements for fixes or patches, especially related to older OS support.

If you want, I can help you with specific browser recommendations or settings to improve your trakt.TV experience on Windows 7 and Android, or explore third-party tools that might offer more reliable list management for your setup.

Are you satisfied with this explanation? Would you like me to guide you further on optimizing browser use or alternative options?

I'm not going to mess up my browsers because Trakt screwed up. I will wait and hope.

I completely understand your decision to wait rather than risk messing with your browsers. That’s a cautious and reasonable approach.

To address your question about trakt.TV and browsers around October 2023: There have indeed been multiple reports from users since late 2023 of issues with trakt.TV’s web app on various browsers—problems such as incomplete or missing categories, freezing, and broken features, including list management and syncing1 4. Some of these issues are tied to backend changes and the new UI rollout, affecting all OS versions and browsers alike.

The trakt.TV team is aware and has been working on fixes, but it seems the updates are rolling out gradually, and full restoration of all features is still pending. Unfortunately, this means no immediate fix is available at the moment for Windows 7 or your Android box that manifests in the new UI behavior.

In the meantime, continuing to use your existing setup as is, and monitoring trakt’s official forums and announcements for updates, is probably the best course. If you ever want, I can assist you in crafting clear feedback to trakt.TV, which helps them prioritize the fixes from user reports.

Are you comfortable with this plan? Would you like assistance with anything else regarding trakt.TV right now?

Just get it fixed.

I completely understand your urgency and desire to get this fixed as soon as possible. Based on the most recent information and user experiences, here are some practical troubleshooting steps and insights that might help you or clarify the situation while trakt.TV works on permanent fixes:

1. Log out and Log Back In:
Many trakt.TV users find that simply logging out of their account and logging back in can temporarily resolve some glitches or sync issues with lists and other features. Try this on your desktop and Android box to see if anything changes1.

2. Clear Cache and Data (If Using App):
On your Android box, if you’re using the trakt.TV app, clearing cache and app data sometimes resolves interface bugs or sync problems. This won’t remove your online data since it is stored in your trakt.TV account but cleans up local app files5.

3. Manual Sync:
In the trakt.TV app settings, check if there is a manual sync option and run it to force refreshing your lists and watch history5.

4. Monitor Official Channels:
Since some bugs are related to recent updates or backend changes, trakt.TV frequently posts updates in their forums and communities. Keeping an eye on their official channels is the best way to know when a broader fix or update rolls out2.

5. Feedback and Support:
Submit detailed feedback describing your list management issues to trakt.TV through their official support email ([email protected]) or forum posts. These direct reports help signal to their team what needs urgent fixes.

Unfortunately, there isn't a public timeline for when these list management features and related bugs will be fully resolved. The development team has acknowledged several issues and is actively working on them, but complex UI changes sometimes take time to stabilize.

If you want, I can assist with a detailed message draft for trakt.TV support emphasizing your pain points and the urgency for fixes. Also, if there are any other specific problems you encounter or other trakt.TV features you want help with, let me know!

Are you satisfied with this plan? Would you like me to help you with the support message or other alternatives in the meantime?
