Pressing the Enter key makes it appear and disappear.

Thanks!

Kindle will drop support for MOBI soon. https://goodereader.com/blog/digital-publishing/kdp-change-means-no-more-mobi-files/amp

@hessbri kindle will drop support for mobi uploads. Amazon's backend can convert to and from all the formats necessary to still support older kindles. I does show that MOBI is a thing of the past though

I'm having trouble getting the web reader to display the last bit of text in a chapter. I have two columns of text displaying at a time normally, and if there's an odd number of columns worth of text I have to use my cursor to manually push the progress bar at the bottom to the rightmost position to see the last column of text. The "page" won't turn to the last column if I just press the right arrow key or click on the right side of the "page"; it just stays on the second-to-last page I'm using Firefox 86.0.1 on a Mac OS 10.15.7.

Is the problem with keyboard/mouse page turning not working for turning to the last page of a novel part a known issue? You can work around it by manually forcing the page to jump to the last one via the seek bar, though it would be nice if the other options also worked properly.

@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).

pcj

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..
