Description box looks different

[fleurravenbooks]

I didn't update since November, and now that i did i left link for my novel on forums but description box looks different .
I know it was problem/glitch not long ago (i also saw it on forums) but i think they fixed it.
So my question is, is this glitch or will it look like this from now on?

Read The secret of heir | Tapas Web Novels

Before this box would have description from novel/comic

Looks like mine is doing the same.

I've noticed this as well lmao. It's a bit strange since it always ends with "read more premium insert thing here" even though most of us are community creators, not premium. (I get they're just trying to advertise their products but yeah!)

yikes :S

didnt they do another such weird thing to these text blurbs recently as well?

I summon @joannekwan for explanation

I can see how directing people to the premium content on entry keeps them from thinking Tapas as a whole is reflected by a single community work, especially when the vast majority of links people will see are from authors looking for new readers. The premium works don't have to advertise to the same degree by themselves, the site shows their work off. On one hand, a community work done in bad taste could really sour someone on the whole platform. On the other hand, the premium works can sometimes have lower writing quality, even if they always look pretty immaculate.

But, the app has a Community tab now, so it seems like a fair trade-off.

What concerns me is that a new reader will see a free comic, but think it's premium and then steer away not wanting to pay for it.

This is a known bug and the devs have been notified to fix it!

[fleurravenbooks]

i see, thank you for letting us know

[BlairFujin]

So... any update on this front? Hope this actually is a bug, cause it looks more like something intended baing swept under the rug (cause non-premium authors would not like such change)

I received and update that it's something they implemented after the intial glitch that cause the description box to repeat garbled words. Currently staff is planning how to approach it moving forward.

Hi, I'm sorry to bother you but I have a question. (I would of asked it in private, however I am unable to send messages to other people on normal tapas because I use incognito mode, at least that's my theory based on a few others.)
A person I read has been attacked quiet a few times, people stealing their art and coloring over or just turning it into something horrible. Making fun of vents and also making sexual images off of the art.
I wanted to know how to report someone because I can't use the contact button on the home screen, is there another way to report them and is there something the person I read can do to help prevent this from happening in the future?
Thank you for your time and I'm sorry to bother you again. Hope you have a nice day/night.
