Forum new look?
-
@Rahul-Balaggan Worked to open, but not to close.
-
@Rahul-Balaggan i logged out of jnc and logged in again. I see the notification side bar with 12 notifications with many for new posts. I verified that I am indeed "watching" those threads and they show up in "recent" as unread - in bold and with blue bar on the left. But they don't show up on my unread page.
I still haven't cleared browser cache. Will try that and report here. -
Notifications now seem to work for me on my tablet, thanks JNC for fixing that.

@Rahul-Balaggan Ran into one more today.
Setup for this bug:
- Use a screen wide enough you get the 'popup' post editor instead of the full-screen one.
- Go to a forum page with enough content to fill your screen vertically
- Close the post editor popup (either by making a post, editing a post, or hiding the editor)
Up to 575 pixels wide, the 'your next/last post' shortcut is below the controls on the last post, and the full width of the display.
Up to 991 pixels wide, still beneath the controls, but over on the right instead of full-width.
Above 991 pixels, it overlaps the controls (so long as the forum page you're on is at least 1 screen tall):
I need the render width to be over 1600 pixels before the controls are fully visible again - this last screenshot is at 1615 pixels wide.
If you haven't been through the post editor on that page, the page gives extra space below the last post for the shortcut to go. The post editor takes the space away again, but only for that particular width range.
(I just happened to run into this while commenting on a manga part today - with two windows side-by-side splitting my screen, they each get around 1200 pixels of width, landing me squarely in the unsweet zone.)

@Rahul-Balaggan Unfortunately clearing cache did not help. I have an example. I took a screenshot of my browser page with notifications and unread page. I see there are new posts in "long story short..." but I do not see the thread in my "unread" section. I verified and i am "watching" that thread. Like I said it is not with all the threads but only some of them - as you can that i do have some entries in my "unread" page.
Ok I am not able to post screenshots since I do not have enough rights to post them. Should I Email support?

Hi, you can hold off on the email for now.
I have reported this upwards, if they need examples they will let me know. Thanks. Sorry for the inconvenience.
But we do think that this only affects topics that are being followed.
If you want to see those topics in unread for now. You would have to unfollow them.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@Rahul-Balaggan one more theory if it helps: the threads I see in "unread" are all because i am subscribed to a topic - bookworm. In this topic I see all new threads with new posts in my unread section, even if I am not watching individual threads - ex. I wasn't watching manga p3 v7 but I still saw it listed.
If I am just watching individual threads, I get notifications but do not see them on the "unread" section.

The title bar showing the thread info never rolls away as I scoll down anymore. That top bar alone is a third of my screen height. With the top thread into bar, the bottom bar, and my browser's address bar, fully half my screen height is covered by UI so I only have a 2-inch square in which to read posts. (This is on mobile, of course.)

I just want to know how to turn off the dark mode. I have vision issues that make dark mode harder to read (ghosting) and have my browser set to light everything, but the forums show as dark. Maybe a bug?
Is anyone else encountering this issue and/or have any tips?

You need to change your default forum skin from cyborg to either No Skin or something else you like. If you click your profile icon and select Settings, it's the first thing on the page. Don't forget you need to press the save button after making a skin change for it to stay that way.

@jpwong Thank you so much! I had not realized that setting existed and all the many options it has...

Everything defaulting to dark mode or, in more and more cases, not even having a light mode is such a huge pain in the ass. To avoid eyestrain because my eyes are so bad (something I've been told I need to do by my eye doctor), I use the software f.lux to get a less harshly blue color profile on my monitor and then match my monitor's brightness to only being a bit brighter than the light in my room. But dark themes make that utterly pointless at times. It's frustrating as hell because all these shitty dark themes only make switching to a site with a proper light theme even harder on my eyes because everyone wants a dark theme due to browsing their phone constantly in the middle of the night.
