Website updates and collecting feedback

MichaelFig 2020-03-12 20:26:59 UTC #343

@michaelson I'll be honest! I was pretty surprised when I saw the update! I was just on the site a few days before it happened! And I do see what others are saying about copying webtoons!

But! I thought it was a pretty cool idea updating the site! It's good to change things every couple years are so. I would suggest. Since "I feel like you're not gonna change the way it's design" It would be best to at least change the colors back to normal! In stead of the plan white look! Trust me the new design of the site with those iconic colors would look perfect together!

But most importantly we creators have to have our series banners back! That's a must! Banners make our series feel way more on brand! And helps potential readers become more drawn to our comics!

Also just so you know my series ad picture goes on and off between clear and blurry! Just in case that needs to be fixed!

I still love Tapas, but there's still some things that need to be fixed!

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read our concerns, and dealing with all the unnecessarily overboard hateful comments! Keep up the good work Tapas Staff! I have faith!

Added the updated fixes to the parent post.

Not entirely - we did modify the algorithm a bit more in order to hopefully diversify the featured series within that section, however, we are being cautious of making sure that NSFW marked series are still being represented on the web as that prominence is less visible on the app. That being said with every major revamp of the web, the algorithms do take time to gather new data so it's initial selections will be slightly confusing.

Will it be possible to get series banners again?

michaelson 2020-03-12 22:38:31 UTC #346

Currently working on a solution to this.

So glad to see the algorithm is somewhat back to normal! I saw quite the slowdown in the time that it wasn't

Thanks for letting me and everyone else know! Banners are good for us creators series brands.

@michaelson I have another problem with the mature section, although that also happened in the old layout.

I tried clicking through most of comic there, but half of the time I got this:

"not available in my country"? O____o" Whut? Is that a bug on tapas' end or should I blame Germany? XD

ratique 2020-03-13 02:13:11 UTC #350

Blame Germany. Nicht alle comics haben die Lizenz für Europa.

@ratique: Will do gladly u_u"
Soviel zum freien Internet XD;

ratique 2020-03-13 13:51:27 UTC #352

Get a VPN that should help.

Rosso 2020-03-14 11:11:59 UTC #353

dunno if a bug or i'm missing something
but it won't let me reach episode 2 of this

it says March 20, so it should be on schedule i guess. Perhaps make it clear what's a scheduled episode and what isn't, please?

Azifri 2020-03-14 11:42:10 UTC #354

This was probably already mentioned, but when I'm reading a comic on my computer and open the episode list, I can't right-click on them to open a different episode in a new window. It's really annoying I think it's important to be able to quickly check on previous episodes, especially for long comics.

Just wanted to say that today I can't access any of the free comic saturday comics on the computer. It is fine on the app but on the website it freezes up and just shows a greying of the screen without even the options to buy.

Otherwise i've been having a fine time with the website.

Hey so on a very serious note, I was able to read 3 separate comics updates early. When they specifically say the updates aren't available for a few days. You can't access them when you try to click on the episode directly, but when you're on the comic page and hitting the next button...yeah, you can access queued episodes.

None of these comics are mine.

You should really work on fixing that, as it can really screw up people's comics. ><

I second this, just checked my series in private mode and I could access first of the two scheduled episodes (trying to go further resulted in a "the page you're looking for doesn't exist" message)

CarltonIsaac 2020-03-15 11:18:02 UTC #358

That's right. The next tab for scheduled episodes is live. And I have five episodes scheduled until March 23rd.

kurakart 2020-03-15 11:58:45 UTC #360

Can confirm.

Had to delete my upcoming episodes.

kurakart 2020-03-15 11:59:15 UTC #361

I was wondering why you were able to read/like my next week scheduled episode! WTF is this.

On PC

@michaelson There's no way to get the arrows and /Dashboard button tab things at the top to appear when you're in the middle of a long vertical comic.
I noticed I had to use the scroll bar or the arrow keys to make it appear before, but it ONLY would trigger near the bottom or near the top, but not in the middle or too far from the top/bottom sections. Comic that did this : https://tapas.io/series/That-awkward-magic on newest update
I had to go all the way to the top or bottom to trigger the drop-down to get the link to return to the Dashboard or anywhere. Very annoying.

Azifri 2020-03-15 12:21:48 UTC #363

Can confirm this xD I just logged in with a family member's account and I could see and like my next scheduled episode
