New Website Feedback

@bartzbb To further clarify, if we were to update an ebook later today that is in your library, you would see it with an "Updated!" tag like in the above screenshot.

A few small issues I noticed on dark themes:
The texts in chat menu do not show without hovering over them.
There's no indication what this button does.
The post headers on user's profile could do with more contrast.Also there's still the previously reported issue that
codehas a rather high contrast on dark themes which makes it jump on eyes and hard to read. -
The new site is still having trouble applying the correct CSS(?) when opening pages in new tabs. For example:
- Homepage => Left click on CALENDAR so it opens in the same page => All good.
- Homepage => Central click on CALENDAR so it opens in a new tab => The page looks all messed up. (Clicking on any page and then clicking back on CALENDAR, while still remaining in the same tab, fixes it.)

This morning the new-view website is missing all content besides "coming soon" and the old site can't load the content either.
Hard refresh doesn't do anything.

Hello,
There seems to be some maintenance being done by the company that hosts the J-Novel Club website.
Everyone's patience is appreciated until this can be resolved.
Thank you

Where do you find the Japanese titles? I saw there's the extra details tab on the top right of a series page, but I might have missed it.
-
On any series page look to the top left of the screen, it is located above the English title.
On mobile it is on the series page below the English title.
-
The calendar page is still extremely finicky. A lot of times when I go to it, it seems to pull mangled metadata about the ongoing series and then completely bork when trying to render the list. Anyone else getting that?
-
@zwabbit If you can grab a screenshot next time you see this and also provide your OS/browser, that would help us look into this issue!

The "Our Latest Digital Releases" section on the front page on mobile, hitting the right-arrow button to slide the list right once works fine. Hitting it a second time goes back to the beginning (instantly, not a visible scrolling motion) instead of scrolling further right. I know there's more to the right because I can drag the books to the left and have more show up on the right when I do it. Eventually when I get to the end dragging it, the arrow on the right turns to a double arrow pointing left, which works as designed and goes back to the beginning (with a rapid scroll).
The "Our Latest Titles" section actually does the same thing, so it's common to that widget it looks like

Some images / styling desn't load on Brave browser.

@myskaros The updated books feature is a great new feature. It does leave to some rendering issues on mobile though.
Because of the lack of space, maybe the "updated" tag should be removed inside the series tab on mobile and only list the updated books on the top? Additionally you could maybe recolour the "download" button green to indicate the book that has been updated to give the same amount of information on mobile as on desktop but in less space?

This is a bug with the reader on both the old site and the new site present at least on mobile (android) chrome. The margins shift (left-to-right) as the part progresses. On the old reader with the thinner margins, this can result in text getting cut off at the right edge of the screen; but even if the new readers wider margins typically prevent text from getting cut off, the shift still happens (and adjustable/thinner margins is a quality improvement already on the known issues list).
The margin/text shift seems to be in proportion to number of pages (rather than merely %), as it only ever shifts far enough to cut off text on longer parts.

@hatguy12 Could you please let us know what browser/OS this is happening on?
-
OS: Android 10; moto g power Build/QPMS30.80-63-6-8-5
Application: Chrome 90.0.4430.91I just pulled out an older android (8) device and tested that as well; it didn't have the same issue, so I guess it's a rarer version quirk than I thought it was.

My e-reader (Moon+ Reader Pro) can sort by Series, but the premium epubs from JNC don't appear to have that metadata set in them, so they don't show up when using the Series view.
There is apparently a "belongs-to-collection" attribute in the epub metadata which can be used to tell what series a book belongs to, and that's what both Moon+ Reader and Calibre use to sorts a book by what series it belongs to.

@piisfun said in Bookworm Part 4 Vol. 1 Discussion!:
Did anyone else miss that prepubs now stay permanently unlocked if you own a premium copy of the volume in question?
From the opening post of this topic:
- Premium credits can now be redeemed through the website normally even without an active membership.
- When you redeem a credit for a premium ebook, that gives you access to the prepub parts for that book even when they are expired and regardless of your membership status. That means non-active subscribers can use saved credits to preorder a book and keep up with prepub parts! Can't discuss it on the forums without being a member though~

Does the new website includes the forum?
Because I find it annoying that the navigation bar that allows us to move through pages in a forum thread is only available at the bottom.The Bookworm discussion thread has 2700+ post and 130+ pages. As you can imagine sometimes the volume is high. When I'm trying to reply to something and need to got 1 or 2 pages back to find their post, when I press the back arrow, I'm at the top of the new loaded page. If I wish to go further back, I need to go all the way down to access the navigation bar. In a mobile phone this is quite troublesome.
So, please can we also have a thread navigation bar at the top in the forum?
Sorry about the English, but it's a measure of your success that you attracted me in. -
The forums are not part of the new site updates.
The forums were actually not created by J-Novel.club, and is made and maintained by a 3rd party, nodeBB, the following post has more details.
