[Site Update] Website Change Notes

[Comicfan0xxxx]

There's something wrong with the tapas site it doesn't have the buttons that it needs like the buttons that allow us to pick up where we left off when reading a comic or a novel and said now we got to scroll through each single chapter and a lot of us haven't read through it all completely

I use the mobile website on Tapas, and I'm glad to see that "Continue From Chapter X" button was just reinstated. Thanks Devs!

One big thing I've noticed on the new mobile website though is that when reading a comics chapter, tapping the screen toggles the upper toolbar on and off, but the lower toolbar (with the favorite, comment, support, and previous/next chapter buttons) stays visible no matter what, taking up a lot of screen space. I'd love to see the functionality from prior mobile website versions return, where I could tap the screen and toggle both toolbars for a fullscreen view. This would definitely be nice for comics with a vertical scroll format.

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread for this, but I don't want to make more of those.
When someone posts a link to their comic and you follow it on a phone, the app is opening on the front page. That's it, no comic from the link, just front page.

[ratique]

Yes - this is the best thread!

Are you on android or iPhone! I'll let the team know!

[Kelheor]

Android! And Chrome browser if this helps somehow.

[ratique]

It is trying to open the app, right? Instead of the Mobile site?

[Kelheor]

Yeah, when I click the app is opening, but it just leads to the front page as if I simply opened the app without any link.

[ratique]

How very annoying - I'll make a bug report. Thank you!

That explains everything! As it's what happens when people delete their comic/novel, I though it was that, but I was wondering why so many people were advertising their work and then immediately deleting it, these times

@ratique Hello! I love all the new features. I also had a question/suggestion. Are in-line comments something the staff is interested in introducing to the site?

Love the infinite scroll being back, btw.

[ratique]

Are in-line comments something the staff is interested in introducing to the site?

I'm probably being stupid, but... what are in-line comments?

[KRWright]

Et voila

Basically it allows you to quote what you're responding to. This is Wattpad's UI.

[ratique]

Oooooooh! Neat! I'll share it wish the team in case they are interested to add something like this in the future.

The current page design is really bad, the previous was much better. my screen is a 720p(768px) screen, and with the browser own bars taking up space, I don't have a lot of viewing space. Now with the permanent nav bar, and the footer, I have even less viewing space. and they don't even auto hide. the episode list style is just them moving from left in the classic tapas to right, so that doesn't bother me, but that footer and nav bar that doesn't hide on scroll doesn't do it for me.
and example

Hey? The Tapas preload logo is interfering with the uploads

[ratique]

Lemme make a report! (iOS app, right?)

I think I saw someone mention this regarding the descending toggle for creators a while back and noticed that it's still doing the following:

I have my series marked to appear in descending order with the newest ep showing first, but for desktop(Chrome) and app(android), if you click on the series it goes to the first episode.

For mobile it works correctly and goes from descending order.

[ratique]

I just checked your series on desktop on both Chrome and Safari - both times the series appear with oldest episode on the bottom, newest episodes on top. I'm brought to the first episodes because I haven't read your series yet.

Can you view your newest episode, close your comic and then return to see where it drops you off that time?

[ryoko]

It worked that time when I clicked on the newest episode, closed, then reloaded. Not sure why it was messed up before. Probably something I did, I'm sure.
