[Resolved] J-Novel site just broke?

Lily Garden

Good to know it's not just me

I'm having problems too, and when I try to go to the main listing for the LN series, it redirects me to a German language website that says it's broken... I think. I don't speak German.

Pardon the mess.

They reinstalled a pre-Nina version of the relevant software, and it's working now.
It seems it was suddenly attempting to pull the pages from the German language site...and funny thing, the English language titles weren't there!

Life during times of change; I do not envy the J-Novel staff what they're dealing with just now.

@Geezer-Weasalopes I thought everything had been seperated in the code but forgot I had NOT done that for the reader codebase (which is a codebase within a codebase). It's not that much changes, just some links and a new part id format, which is the main reason everything broke.

It's a somewhat massive undertaking.
(I'm telling you this?! Such arrogance on my part!)
My programing coursework was 1980-1982, and I flunked out; I don't do well with Calculus and the other higher maths required for the major.

Structured Programming was somewhat of a new idea at that time, using subroutine and module calls rather than spaghetti code.
Sounds like what happened underlines just what an improvement structured programming was; by it being one module being called you only had to tweak one section of code to fix it when it went wonky, no?

Module may not be the proper term.
But everything was in one place that needed tweaking, not scattered throughout the code.

I hope my terminology makes sense; forty years have passed, and while I still have most of my textbooks I haven't reread them since. (Yes, I'm a hoarder...)

The forum link on the blue page at the end of each prepub part is still going to a 404 type page for iPad safari.

Module may not be the proper term.

Library, module, extension, plugin
Any of those would be correct and understandable here.

Method, Function
Those wouldn't be correct, but again, basically interchangeable.
