@hessbri Only for publisher uploads, nothing about sideloading.

@zwabbit I've just added it to the first post. We'll look into it!

When reading a novel on my samsung tablet using firefox can the grid toggle for the font size stay active for more than a nano second? It displays for a very short time and a real challegne to make it appear. When i tap the screen it moves the page forward. Is there a cheat to toggle the font popup?

@chocolatkey Ok ty that seems to work. Unfortunately last couple years my eyesight gone down hill that even with glasses reading on screen text at times is problematic. Any chance of making it a built in feature to the reader with a button/setting option to pop it out to its own tab instead of having use key commands?

I just noticed that the main home page barely mentions the fact you guys have a subscription service (which I absolutely love). It looks more like just a normal publisher site, you'll only notice it if you look at the subtext under one of the headers that the header title don't explicitly have anything to do with a subscription service.

Maybe at a Tab up top to draw attention that you have a subscription service (Linking to How it works). Or at least a dedicated Header instead of throwing it under one of the other headers.

If you came over from like Amazon or something it's entirely possible to completely miss the fact that it exists if you just skim the page.

The forum is pretty much unusable right now for me... Looks like I can post at least but I can't reply to a user, quote, like a post, or access the menu at all.

There are also no dates on any of the post any longer, I can't tell if they were posted an hour ago or a century ago.

I'm using Firefox on a Samsung Note 9 running Android 10.

@xdrfiredogx On desktop, the timestamp for comments have been moved all the way to the right, which is annoying. It might be cutting off on mobile devices.

@xdrfiredogx I noticed the same in Waterfox Classic - spoilers also weren't expanding; but in the latest Firefox for Windows all that works. Guessing it only supports evergreen browsers...

How about updating the novel cover on the series page to the latest volume's cover? This will give an idea about which volume is currently translated. For both the website and the app.

This can spoil events that happen later in the story. The series page needs to be friendly to people looking at the series for the first time, so we will not use later covers as the main series cover.

The new software for the forums is rather annoying. I access this place using my phone and having approximately one fourth of the screen space occupied permanently at the top makes the screen rather cramped.

Add the following to the "Custom CSS" section in your forum settings:

.topic .topic-header {
  position: unset!important;
}

That'll make the header scroll with the page instead of sticking to the top of the window. The down side is that you'll have to scroll back to the top to hit the reply button, since it's in that header now.

Note: you'll need to dump your cache for it to take effect (on desktop this is usually done by holding the shift or control keys and hitting the reload button - on mobile Firefox you do it by push-and-hold on the reload button, not sure how in other mobile browsers - force quit your browser and run it again might work).

Make that the following to make the Reply button by itself float and follow you down the page in addition to making the rest of the header scroll with the page:

.topic .topic-header {
  position: unset!important;
}
.btn-group[component="topic/reply/container"] {
  position: fixed;
  transform: translate(-110%,-110%);
  z-index: 900;
}

Might want to take a look at Elf and Werwolf manga releases for today. Neither one shows the Following highlight and Elf has a wrong version number on it. Toe on the line for website feedback vs general error, but..

Sometimes after I refresh the page when on the release calendar with it set to only show series I'm following, if I click on parts it will take me to a part from a completely different series.

Re: the forum. Why do I keep getting notifs when someone edited their post in random threads?

Rahul Balaggan

@nofairytale

That appears to be new notification option, you can toggle it on and off.

Go to settings here in the forums, and it will be listed under notifications.

It should only be happening with topics you are watching.

@gamen

Yeah, the issues do seem to be specific to Firefox. I also discovered that on FF it no longer recognizes where I left off so it loads what the last part of a thread I've read was prior to the upgrade. So on this thread for example it loads page 24 every time even though my most recent comment is on page 27.

Chrome does more or less function correctly, though I've also had it decide a couple times that it's no longer going to scroll and that I've got to reload the browser to get the ability to do so back.

I've also been hit with some random 502 Bad Gateway errors at times.

On the plus side, now that it works (it didn't exist on FF) the ability to minimize my in-progress comment to go back to the thread is kind of nifty, even if it blocks some of what I'm typing.

nofairytale

@rahul-balaggan thanks. It seems that I've left on the option to watch threads I've replied to, which explains why I got those notifs despite not remembering watching the threads.
