@chocolatkey I'm mainly using the old site (I prefer the old LN parts web reader) but I'll keep an eye on it and see if it happens again. 👍

In terms of feature requests, it might have been mentioned already, but just in case:
- I'd love to have a section similar to the Library for the series we are following, ordered chronologically by update date. Since there is a Followed filter, maybe Recently updated could be added as a sorting option...?
- I agree with the feedback on the footer bar; it takes a lot of space on mobile.

Bug:
The calendar page will periodically display one or more days worth of listings incorrectly causing the links to the days content to be unreadable.Issues:
- Date header styling appears wrong
- The listing for the effected day do not wrap and continue to the right of the page and disappear off the page.
- Days without any releases are not appearing
Discovery:
- Days without a release are still generating an HTML header wrapper, however without any content.
- Days without a release are not generating a listing wrapper, which seems to be the main cause of the display issue.
- It seems that some JavaScript code is adding the styling classes and Id attributes to the generated HTML, however when a header HTML wrapper is created without an listing HTML wrapper, the JavaScript code misidentifies what should be a header and what should be a list, applying the wrong style classes and Id attributes values when ever this occurs.
- This issue can occur multiple times depending on the number of days shown without a releases.
- This issue might not be visible if there is an even number of consecutive days without release content. So this issue will only appear if there is an odd number of consecutive days without release content.

Technically thats not an "new site" issue but while you are dealing with the website, can you do something about the membership upgrade and downgrade? I saw a thread today that someone wanted to change their premiumship to regularship but they have to send e-mail or cancel their membership and when membership expires then they can change to regular membership.
In new site, having that option would be nice.
PS: Changing text color also would be nice.

For those of you who are having trouble getting used to the latest forum upgrade highlighting the first post you haven't read yet instead of the last one you did read, I suggest adding the following to Custom CSS in your settings:
.topic .posts [component="post"].highlight { border: 1px solid #2390b0; }This will put the color highlight border around the entire message instead of just underlining it.
To me, the underline always made me think "above the line is what I haven't read, below the line is what I have read". Except now that they highlight the first one you haven't read it means there's one message above the line that I haven't read yet. Changing the highlight to the box gives me a line above what I haven't read yet again.

Here is a minor bug in the calendar page.
As you can see Fushi no Kami Part 1 and 2 were released simultaneously but in the wrong order in the Calendar Page. It should be Part 1 at the top followed by Part 2.
JNC LN Ranking:
1st - Rokujouma
2nd - Realist Hero
3rd - Bookworm -
Just wanted to mention I really like the new calendar and the feature highlighting series at the bottom.

@bartzbb can i also ask why those are shows green? first i thought it was first part release reasons but that wasnt it. Then i thought it was my following things but again that wasnt it so why?
-
@hopebestman They're green because the pre-pub part is available for reading right now if that's what you're asking

Step 1: Click the "Picture" icon.
Step 2: Obtain direct image URL that ends in either .png or .jpg, you can upload for free on imgur.com (and then click open image in new tab for the URL).
Step 3: Replace "image url" in the parenthesis with what you just copied.Step 4: Submit comment.

@legitpancake thanks. i put my link wrong. i didnt know that i had to put .png at the end and delete the gallery part.

Feature request:
When you hover over a released part on a series page, it displays the date the part was released. Would it be possible to add the scheduled date for unreleased parts, provided there is a date scheduled? I don't think there is currently any way to view release dates by book rather than by date, so it might be useful.
I'm talking about this text here,
just adding the same for unreleased parts. -
@falseaim Unfortunately, due to the way our current backend is set up, events (which are the future part dates and other releases you see on the calendar) are separate from actual parts which contain the text you get to read when the part becomes available. That means what you're asking for isn't very easy to implement. We'll keep it in mind for a future update though!
-
@myskaros That's unfortunate. Thanks for the response, though.

The eye indicates a follow (and breaks alignment which sucks).
Weird stuff on the right is because it's currently broken for everyone who isn't in PST timezone. It will be reformatted properly if you navigate elsewhere and back. -
Minor issue: on the dark mode, the screen to update the card details has black text on the dark background, which makes it hard to read.
-
Is there some kind of estimate when the new reader will be usable? It's still not usable for me (can't scroll quickly with keyboard, last page of chapter not viewable/readable, among other issues).

@daiz said in New Website Feedback:
The new home sidebar looks pretty bad, IMO.
You have this whole design consisting of filmstrips, and you slap a sidebar next to all of it?
Why not just add an additional strip? It would look a lot less busy-design wise.
Too many entries? Well how about focusing on delivering more precise and relevant information to the user? A reason many liked the old sidebar is because it provided part release information on the homepage, and that's you could have focused a strip on. How about latest released parts? And if the user is logged in and following series, latest released parts for the series the user follows?
As an unfiltered show-all, the sidebar is literally just a worse version of the full calendar page, so it'd make sense to provide something more focused - and in this case it could be focused on recently released stuff that's already out, as the calendar is better serving the purpose of what's coming up, so link to that for that.
Also, why is the "latest titles" strip limited to just five entries again? It used to show all new licenses. I know there was the issue at one point where it got to less than five titles and the thumbnails got huge, but the solution to that shouldn't be setting the amount of titles shown to a fixed amount but rather just enforcing a max height or something. Or just set it to a five title minimum but don't cap the maximum.
I disagree. The sidebar was one of the best aspects of the old site and should absolutely stay. (IMO they should get rid of the rest of the front page and have just a "news" section and the "coming soon" sidebar take up most of the page.)
A lot of modern site designers have obsession of appearance over function. "Cluttered" is way better than "looks pretty". Websites aren't artwork, they're a user interface.
If you're going to modify the sidebar, personalize it, show only titles that people are currently following, but it should just function like the old sidebar IMO as that was almost perfect (though I'd suggest to make it scrolling and autoload additional titles as you scroll rather than having to click a button repeatedly to show additional days titles).

On the new reader, I really don't like the fact that it is showing two pages side-by-side (or 1 way too large page).
Is there a way to change page width on the reader ?
