Where ca i find the revert button for new design???? I hate it. Why i need to search for a chapers list button all over the screen and then click it every time i need to see the list?

Personal gripe to add since uhh.. seemingly no one else likes the inclusion of music in comics or novels.. but we have the option to play the song and the option to mute it. I like the fact that it is tied to just one button which is a simple musical note, however there's no way for a reader to find the song itself like there was back then: through a link appearing above the episodes. I personally found a lot of enjoyable music back then (notably from Leftovers) thanks to this feature so..

I think it'd be neat if the songs used from Soundcloud would be included at the very bottom of the description for an episode, or like at the very least in the menu next to the share button. I dunno if that's like.. by intentional design or if that's just an oversight, but I do kinda see it as a downgrade from how the feature was before tbh

The new site makes it much harder to navigate - more clicks and the support button is no longer visible on the opening page. Why did you make it more difficult for readers to support comics? (I'm a reader, not an artist.)

When I go to a comic, there is nearly as much space for links to other comics as the comic I am there to read.

If the goal was to improve aesthetics, you have failed.

Agreed. The scrolling function on webtoons takes away from the "feel" of a page of a comic as part of an integrated whole. The

The chapter update icon no longer shows how many new chapters there are. There is now just a yellow dot. Also I can't sort all comics of a certain genre by date now. That was the way I used to find new content.

YO WHERE THE HECK DID MY EASY "PUBLISH" BUTTON GO? Seriously, guys, who is this update for???

please... PLEASE bring banners back. I see no reason as to why they had to be removed

Hi! This is my first time on the forum, so, hello everyone :smiley: (please be patient with my bad english XD)
I just really don't like this update: for the new layout "mobile style", for the missing features and also because the website is slow, really slow.

Just a couple of things about the "all comics" section.

When you browse the comics by genre/all there is no more way to sort them by alphabet/date/subscribers/likes. The comics are sorted from the "last published" to the old one, missing other ways to sort them like in the old website, please restore them.

The continuos scroll is the worst option for this section. There are more than 60.000 series on Tapas and scroll down -maybe until you die- just to find a new comic it's crazy.
The old "pages browsing view" is a better way to display all the comics: if my connection is not so fast, I don't need to load all the comic thumbails; if I lost the conncetion, with the infinite scroll down I must start from the beginning, but with the "pages browsing view" I can start from the page where I was.

If you scroll until the end of the page (yes I did it in the BL section), as other user report, there is a bug where the comics thumbnails overlappings and you can't see all the other comics.

Here a couple of screenshots

Thanks for what you do for the community! <3

Here. Let’s have some positive vibes.
Let's enjoy the good thing that happens right now on the Tapas redesign.

:+1: From mobile perspective at the mobile web the popup menu is running smoother and not flashing in your face. Still glitchy at the top :upside_down: But it is way better and feels more like using the app.

:+1: in the dashboard when you take a preview of your next episode, there are no heavy loading time.

:+1: your library list can be sorted in comics/novels

:+1: In the question about Webtoon had brought Tapas:

:heart_03:

i can't read everything but i just did a double check and the Subscribe option is still right next to the Report one.

@michaelson PLEASE keep those two buttons as far away from each other as you possibly can. Right now you're just asking for accidents to happen :sweat_01: ( or giving salty readers some bad ideas, lolll) Especially on app/mobile. So easy to click the wrong things!

They're definitely working on it but with all the other issues to fix too it might take some time. There workers aren't machines. They need breaks too and are most likely already overtime on fixing the biggest issues and bugs. Michael has said that they will move the subscribe button

When you click report it doesn't automatically send a message, it opens up a separate menu first.

The button to send a report is also greyed out until you actually select anything, so I don't think it would be possible to send a report by accident

@michaelson I am on a pc and am having problems with the publishing. It is asking for me to upload a file instead of the text box it usually lets me type in. I tried to open my files and it only shows picture files. My other novel will let me add text, but the newest one will not.

If you run into this issue again, can you take a screenshot and add browser information and send that over to feedback@tapas.io so we can look into it?

Also reporting doesn't automatically do anything other than alerting staff members. We try to contextualize every report by looking into the series since, yes, there are often times false positive reports.

Unfortunately, we don't have any current plans to enact this.

@michaelson can I ask why? I mean wouldn't it be more benfical to Tapas to allow more works be seen? Basicaly by not allowing new novels or comics be seen more you are working aginst your selves in the long run. From a buisness perspective it would generate more revenue for the company by putting a few slots in where new authors and artist can be displayed. Other wise they get lost in the translation. Like most of my subs come from other platforms, while i am bringing in more traffic for my specific novel this does not mean that my readers will go look at other novels on the sight if they cant find anything new or fresh. The suggestions i made can all be done by html 5 code with out need to actually have any staff updating it all the time. it can all be automatically updated. These are all things you should really try to pass on to the other staff. As it would realy benifit Tapas by doing so. Because the 4-5 million or so traffic you get a year to the web site could also double in the future as well.

These are just my thoughts.

Hm, there are a variety of different reasons, I don't think it would really be used the way you described - we've tested this feature in the past and did not see positive results as a platform or for the creator community when we enacted it. Because of the velocity in which series are updating on an hourly basis the window on the homepage to be seen is actually quite small. Not only that but we observed unwanted behaviors to try and capitalize on the feature window (i.e. breaking apart pages into single panels and having those episodes published in intervals). It's not really an issue of complexity in coding, it's mainly an issue regarding its functionality and practical application.

I agree that more areas of visibility for newer creators to get a foothold in readership is important, but having these sections is not necessarily the way to accomplish that. Allowing readers to have more sorting options so that they can pro-actively find stories they're interested in is more valuable for creators in the long run as that leads to higher conversion rates of readers to subscribers.

Honestly, this new update just makes the website a pain for me to use. I can't easily go from one comic update to another. I'm not saying that the new design is bad, but it feels like a lot of clutter on the screen, compared to before and it takes way too many clicks and page loads to go from one new update to a new one. I've never used the mobile version of the website before, so I don't know how it relates, but on a regular computer, its a bit of a pain.
