Hi there! I've only been using Tapas for about a year, and had started to really enjoy the old format, especially the scrolling through episodes feature that the comic was unique for. I thought it helped me get a good idea of a comic before I started reading it, I loved that feature and would love to see it back.
I think generally the problem with the new layout is that it looks almost entirely like Webtoons now, it's very, very obvious.
There's some nice changes, like being able to view a comics tags, but things like, removing the custom banner I had, making it so people can't see the summary of my comic without clicking through, me not being able to jump to a reply someone has made to me from my notifications (it now just takes me to all the comments I have, instead of the reply) and in general hiding replies people have made seem to have lost some of the features I felt were best about Tapas.
If I had to pick priorities I wanted to see back, over anything else:
-Please let me have a banner again!
-Please bring back endless scrolling.
-Please put comic summaries on the front page of a comic.
I think that the front page featuring more comics, having larger icons in the future, and some other smaller things are really nice, and in general I understand that you MUST change a site to keep it alive, but some stuff can be tweaked for sure.
Also, I felt like I wasn't properly warned this change was coming? That was a huge thing.
And is there an ETA for when users can submit to the Mature category? Or is that just something we'll never get to do?
Thanks a bunch for your time. I hope this helps.
