Website update changes

[lucika]

The new design is very similar to Webtoon.

Every time there is an update with the interface, it's hard to adjust at first. However, this new design does give me some worries.
Let's start first with what I like:

• For the novel, there is an option to change text font as well as spacing. (I don't remember there is this feature before)

• A series overview page for description and episode list. Before, the description is placed on the sidebar.

• A busy front page.

• The dashboard button.

What I don't like:

• The new scrolling format for both comic and novel discovery page. As people already mentioned, new series would get buried down at the bottom and there is no way people are going to scroll that far.

• No banner. Many series already have a banner. I think it's better if they can try to make it work rather than discard it. I also think that they should have a poll or something before making such a decision.

• The disappearing and appearing nav bar.

• Subscribe button hidden in the nav bar. They could have put it right next to the font changing button or the like button.

I can see that they have a reason for this new design. However, the bad points seem to outweigh the good. I do hope that the developer will listen and improves the interface.

Thank you, because I seriously hate this new layout. My literal brand new banner and donate button got eaten, and I updated them YESTERDAY. It's hard to tell whose comic you are on now.
I really liked the larger left hand side bar with the comic episodes, too. Everything feels empty and brandless. I miss the infinite scrolling, too.
So much less visually appealing. Perhaps a toggle switch for new layout/old layout?
Also please consider a way to customize what comics are recommended and show up on the front page, I am sick to death of seeing romance comics that I am uninterested in.

Next Inksgiving is going to be a massacre, huh

I might just make it a Promote-My-Commissions/Kofi-Weekend instead.

I thought I was the only one tired of them. All drawn in the same style too.

me, imma make an inksgiving ad and then say "dont actually give me ink, just support me directly :/... cut out the middle man..."

[elleswoop]

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

[Kelheor]

Ouch I wonder if they know it.

[spicy_sweets]

novel italics are gone from published chapters? This a glitch? Pls tell me it's a glitch

[byelacey]

my favourite bug of the update is that they mirrored webtoon's "author" tag, but instead, everyone in my comments section is listed as a creator, i love my team of creators

[AWFrasier]

Today, everyone is a creator. Of everything.

[vothnthorvaldson]

Haha! All the sudden, all of us are in charge of a comic studio

[deltastic]

oh no holy crap it IS just gone D: WHAT

[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.

[JackSherwin]

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...
