New Website Feedback
-
Rokujouma's series page isn't loading on desktop either.
-
It might be a small part in the grand scheme of things, but the fact that he calendar menu and its entries use the same style makes it appear as if it there was an alignment error, and this grinds my gears.
As an easy mitigation, I'd recommend to simply make the border a bit thicker.

@strangeattractor said in Beta Website Feedback:
There doesn't appear to be such a setting in the Amazon Silk browser that I am using.
Like most accessibility settings,
prefers-reduced-motionis a system-wide device setting that applies to all apps, including web sites. Individual apps or sites shouldn't have this setting; they should honor the system setting.In Android devices like the Fire the setting is at “Settings” → “Accessibility” → “Remove Animations”. I believe the setting was introduced in Android 9 “Pie”, so it should be there on the Fire 7 or later. (My test device is a Fire 5 so I can't confirm.) If the setting isn't there, or if it isn't propagated into the browser, then it will be time to lobby Amazon.
In other devices the setting is called “Reduce Motion” (Macs & iDevices) or “Show animations” (Windows).

On the titles page where you can filter out particular things, there should be a j novel club filter to remove the heart ones, just like there is a filter for the opposite.

The beta calendar link for WATARU!!! volume 2 leads to a 404: https://beta.j-novel.club/v/wataru-the-hot-blooded-fighting-teen-his-epic-adventures-in-a-fantasy-world-after-stopping-a-truck-with-his-bare-hands-volume-2
I believe it is because the actual link removes the "in a fantasy world" part for some reason: https://j-novel.club/v/wataru-the-hot-blooded-fighting-teen-his-epic-adventures-after-stopping-a-truck-with-his-bare-hands-volume-2

Under the user profile, it's cool that there's a "New" section for the newest releases. It would be nice though to be able to click the "New" and make it go away like it's a notification.
Edit -
Also, can the calendar for previous months be archived or something? It's a bit weird that when I check previous months, it's empty. I just noticed when August is already gone despite it still being the 30th.
-
sadly, trying to log into the beta site just gives me an blank error page, it seems to log me in as it allows me to follow and keeps track of whats already been followed but anytime i click on "User" / "Log in" tabs it just goes white.
tried logging out of old site + forums, clearing cache, and trying in-private to see if being logged onto both sites was the problem. on chrome btw, same thing happens on edge as thats the only other browser i have on pc -

Nothing from September 1st or 2nd shows either, and most of the 3rd as well. Those dates have releases on the old calendar, though.
-
@SoullessMinion Have you bought New Life+ previously? I was having the same issue but talking with Daiz we managed to figure out that owning those volumes would break the new site user profile for me.
-
@Aruseus493 yeah, got all 3 volumes
if that's the issue, i can only imagine it'd either be from starting with [brackets] or due to not being able to pull book info from jp site like other series' do -
@SoullessMinion Yea, @Daiz removed all 3 from my account and that fixed the issue for me.
-
when i log in and im on user profile it has a green "Regular" by my name when im a Premium member also the calendar is not showing everything
-
also on calendar maybe put the time that it would be coming out in UTC or whatnot (Could also put a clock showing UTC time)
-
There's a bug right now where no novels are appearing on the Titles page.
-
On iOS there is no way to go to the desktop version while on mobile, and clicking desktop version in the Chrome app does nothing. This would be very helpful since the Filters tab on iOS is still completely useless as nothing is clickable. https://imgur.com/EucoayI

It's probably due to how the links are set up with whatever javascript or css you have going, but I find it rather annoying that when you're on the page for a series, you can't select any of the information on the left-hand side when it's a link. As far as I can tell, this makes it impossible to copy-paste the information.
For instance, if I want to copy the author's name, and I try to select the text, for some reason, the mouse ends up dragging around a floating box that's the same as the box with the text. I don't know why anyone would want that. I don't object to it being a link (that can be useful), but the fact that I can't select the text is just plain annoying. The text that isn't a link (e.g. the headers like Author or Tags) can be selected properly, but it doesn't work with any of the actual information for the series, because it's all links, and the links won't let you select their text.
-
@Kalessin Links are basically never selectable anywhere, not just the beta site... but yes, the links on the left-hand side take up the entire block, not just the bounding box of the text and icon. Try copying from the line above i.e. if you want to select the author's name, start from after Author, just like you'd select from the whitespace before/after a normal link to get the link text.
-
@Gamen There are plenty of links that are properly selectable on the normal site, though it's certainly possible that there are some that aren't. Regardless, I think that it's highly undesirable that a link's text ever not be selectable like any other text. It's an anti-feature and just gets in the way.
Also, when I just tried selecting the text above the link to get it to then also select the link's text as you suggested, that didn't work at all. e.g. selecting Author and moving the mouse down then selected Illustrator without selecting the author's name at all.
-
@Kalessin My bad, I use Waterfox Classic which doesn't support the unprefixed user-select: none CSS; I see the same situation as you in the lastest versions of Chrome and Firefox due to them styling those links with user-select: none

The calendar is buggy. Not only do past items not show up, but items in the near future aren't listed. Right now (September 13th), the earliest release I see listed is on September 22nd. None of the releases (subscription or digital book) between now and then are listed. So, over a week of releases is missing starting from now.
I would expect items to stay in the calendar permanently, though the current site seems to only list as far back as the previous month for some reason. Either way, the current behavior of the calendar on the beta site is clearly buggy.
