- Most updated. This is the version that carries all the modifications done.
- Original. This is the original version, without any modifications.
- Custom. This allows you to select the text and times are the ones from the original or the updated version independently. In addition, it allows you to select sequences added later on, and the possibility to not show the modifications made by a specific user.
Upload a subtitle
To upload a subtitle, once you are logged in, you have to click "Create new Subtitle" from the top of the screen. You will have to fill a form and select the SRT file. Please, if you are uploading a subtitle, make sure that it does not exist already.
It's a show's episode
If it's one episode of a show, check this box and fill the new fields so that the episode can be found by the list episode for the different shows. Also the title of the file will be generated accordingly the conventions established on the forums , so that everything can be done in a homogeneous way.
Version
It's very important to point the version of the subtitle that you are uploading. When someone downloads an episode from a P2P network, usually it comes with an identifier, for example 'Law.And.Order.S17E20.HDTV.XviD-LOL.[eztv].avi', the version is 'HDTV-Xvid-LoL', or just 'Lol'. It's important to point it out (also the size of the file) because there can be multiple versions of the same file.
State
The State field is very important, because it will determinate if you are uploading a completed file, or just a piece of it, so that someone else can upload another piece later on. If it is a complete file, the length of the subtitles will be read directly from the file, but if it's just a piece, you can specify the length informally.
Uploading a piece of a subtitle
If during the upload of the first part of the subtitle, the person checked in the State field that it was just a piece, later on you can upload the rest of the parts. For that you have to go to the subtitle description and select "upload another part of srt file".
Editing the subtitles
