New Website Feedback

Father_V

Having the old site back has reminded me how much I prefer it.

Easy first page access to releases that week/day & countdown in hours & minutes to the next release (refreshable).
In reading mode, easy no mess changing of font size & columns with % counter through the release. In Ascendance in particular I get nervous about how much action they can pack in, but I use it on every release to gauge what they can still accomplish with the space left.

Is there a way for dark mode to affect the entire page I'm looking at? As it is there's a dark square in the middle that I'm reading off of surrounded by white.

Scroll down to the page footer, there's a Theme: Dark Mode button that changes the rest of the main site (not the forums, though). Helps my eyes so much!

I've been using the beta website for awhile and really like it.
I've seen info posted already about it being in the works, but the only issue I really have is the ability to adjust font size to read. It is currently just too small for me.

@cimmadif
I think that update is one of the items on the top of the "fix" list. It has been mentioned by many people in the forum for this to be added so as soon as the I.T. department is back up and running I think they will have that added.

@Elleya If you check the first post in this topic, font options are already planned.

@TheGrimLich said in New Website Feedback:

@quirriff Due to, to quote @myskaros, "weather and power issues" (I'm assuming there was a blizzard-induced blackout or something), they're going to be fixing the new website behind the scenes and they've got the old site up front for now.

My understanding from stuff I saw elsewhere is that their main web developer lives in one of the areas with a power blackout and is looking at close to a week for getting his power back, so he can't actually get online to fix anything. So they switched the old site back in order to pre-empt any show-stopper bugs that he couldn't get online to fix right away.

I'd like to note that I like everything about the new website except for the reader portion. If we could get the font/size options to make the new reader look the same as the old reader, I'd be good with the new site.

@atorbites I am surprised that people reading machine translations of JNC titles on our site, but since it is a valid use case, we have removed the line that explicitly disables Google Translate on our new reader. It had been placed there to counter the auto-translation feature of chrome that can be irritating.

Is there a way to see specifically which translator and editor worked on a specific volume of a series where the translator or editor changed midway?

Glad you guys switched back to the old design, the new website was ugly as hell. Forget the redesign: just add a dark mode to the old site (especially the reader) and go from there.

@pynkbites Yeah, no the new site definitely needs more work, especially on the front page, but it still way better than the current one especially the library and book pages.

I like being able to find the catch up easily from the home screen (though it would be nice if it were a search option too to be uniform with the app).

I also prefer the new reader on the website (with the vertical scroll). I'll be sticking with the Beta site.

@hopebestman Do you have News/Announcements muted? That has all the website announcements that are important and posted by staff.

hiroto

On the calendar https://beta.j-novel.club/calendar, every new release today opens fine, except for https://beta.j-novel.club/read/marginal-operation-volume-8-chapter-2, which result in 404.

Looking at https://beta.j-novel.club/titles/marginal-operation, somehow Vol 8 data is not populated.

@LegitPancake upps. my bad :D

I don't know if that bug was already reported but after buying a book on the new site the "BACK" button stop working and display the pop-up window normally displayed when clicking "BUY" instead of going back to the title list.
