Website update changes

[elleswoop]

I don't even-??? Just...why

[IndigoShirtProd]

Ugh that pissed me off. How are people supposed to know who made the comic they're reading? They rolled this out to fast without telling anybody.

@Yoon I know you and your team are discussing this but please go back to the old format at least until the new format is completely ready and you inform creators beforehand.

[ajcrwl]

oh lol i just noticed too

[mariusthered]

think all has been said i the topic, i just hope the lords and masters listen to what us the creators are saying , words to effect of the new layout sucks! progress is not always a good thing and given the choice i too would go back to the old layout.

Some websites have a togale for more male orintanted action fantasy comics or ramance comics that might be nice

@michaelson @Yoon You have betrayed us. You have betrayed this community and its users. You have actually hurt me personally with this update. I have no pity for you, no forgiveness whatsoever. Say what you want, it will fall on deaf ears.

... holy moly.

okay. i feel like there's a lot of helpful feedback on this thread, and then there's this.

the website is ugly, and buggy, but telling a company they betrayed you personally (and other really uncalled for things in the thread by others) isn't how you get things fixed.

and for those surprised about the update: they also did mention they were doing it! it's in the same email as the update on covers.

anyway, i think continuing to report bugs now that yoon is listening is a good idea. just... don't be outright mean?

[TAMAnnoying]

I mean if they feel betrayed they feel betrayed- feelings are feelings. Who is the lowest pit of hell saved For again?

But in all seriousness I agree that we should continue reporting bugs- I also agree that maybe instead of working with a broken site we can go back to the old one.

[BobbyjoeX]

yes just revert but i still might be ending my comics run on here...

[IndigoShirtProd]

Yea they "mentioned" it. That short little blurb at the top of the email wasn't enough to prepare people for this. It should've been more informative saying when and what was going to be changed. Anyone who wasn't paying attention, me, would've missed that and assumed the point of the email was just about the cover thing!

[BobbyjoeX]

can i mention i never even got the email for the covers and vaguely this clusterfuck of an update?

[TAMAnnoying]

Actually I’m not done yet- I DONT think tapas sould be using it’s community as BETA testers for fuck sake- the amount of problems and the amount of issues I’m hearing from >readers< the people this is supposed to be an improvement for- this is not gucci

[vothnthorvaldson]

I would not go as far as @Cavechan does, but I think the feeling of betrayal is entirely justified. I feel betrayed too. I sincerely believed something would be done to promote the website after the app censorship issue. Nothing was done. Ok. I'm not happy, but whatever. But now getting an update that is clearly ignoring website user needs (at best! Maybe even made to discourage them and encourage them to read on app), yes, I feel betrayed.
I really believed in Tapas, because the communication with creators is way better than the competition.
But at this point, I'm not on Tapas because I love Tapas, but because they are the less bad.

[Iris-Grimoire]

Instead of asking for Tapas Ink, get Ko-Fi gold and change coffee to Ink - genius!

But yeah guys, as much as it's horrible, it's poorly implemented, this WILL fuck us over views wise - it's best to remain civil. Community management and especially the people actually making these changes will not listen and will not care if you start acting violent. Be concise and clear that they've screwed up this, that, that other thing, and so much more, to the point they'd be in the wrong to say nothing is happening. But use really aggressive wording and it just sounds emotional and unreasonable(even if it's completely reasonable).

Also for the love of god let's please not attack each other

[byelacey]

okay, i'm just saying, maybe don't be mean

[BobbyjoeX]

this right here, i will admit i been getting less and less satisfied with every new update but this one was the straw that broke the camel's back

[HRAM]

I don't even use any apps. I don't have a 'phone for it and have no desire to get one.

[Croik]

That blurb totally made it sound as if the site changes and the thumbnail change would be happening simultaneously, mid-March. Why WOULDN'T those changes happen together? And why not warn us we'd be losing all our custom banners?

I and I'm sure many others already prepared new icons, sure would have been nice to know that said icon would be slapped on a plain color banner I have no control over. How is the banner color even chosen? Can it be gamed by changing the color scheme of the icon?

[TAMAnnoying]

I tots agree with you but considering half the people are waking up to this without their morning cup of coffee/Pepsi expecting 100% nice guy is hoping for a lot.

[BobbyjoeX]

go look at Webtoon, they have the same set up where the colour is indicated by genre and no joke, Tapas is using the same colours... only different is that the fantasy tab is a more muted purple and not this god awful adioactive purple slime looking colour

[jensrichard77]

Not sure if anyone said it yet, but italics are gone. Like...the words are just gone.

THIS IS CRITICAL!
Contents are missing!
@Yoon sorry for tagging. But this must be a priority
