Money!I'm glad to see I'm not the only person experiencing this ludicrous issue.
Why did they break something that work perfectly well and intuitively?

rolling back is heretical in webdev dogmaAny ETA on the resolution of this issue ? And why wasn't the problem reverted or rolled back until it was functionnal? There's really no reason to let the issue fester like this, unless it's the intended experience.
Can you confirm users will be able to create the comment section like before, no matter their supporter status ?Hi everyone, to clarify: we haven't put comments behind a paywall. We’re currently testing a new architecture with a small group (Supporters, Contributors, Group Leaders, etc.) to ensure the site doesn't crash under heavy load and to iron out issues before the full rollout.
We know the current bugs are frustrating. We didn't roll back immediately because the new system involves significant underlying changes, but our team is heads-down on a patch right now to address these reports.
That's the plan, yesCan you confirm users will be able to create the comment section like before, no matter their supporter status ?
They can, but you have to click directly on the comment icon next to the chapter listing rather than the chapter title itself. (Since clicking on the chapter opens the external site.)https://mangadex.org/chapter/154a18f3-f427-4827-b4b2-3b1ea44ded6b?comments=1
Another part of the bugs noticed:
On externally hosted chapters, like Mangaplus, comment threads on Forums cannot be started even if a comment exists.
That just leads to the social view, for some harebrained reason.They can, but you have to click directly on the comment icon next to the chapter listing rather than the chapter title itself. (Since clicking on the chapter opens the external site.)
Right, and from there you can use the usual route to start the forum chapter thread (which is currently limited to privileged users).That just leads to the social view, for some harebrained reason.

so you still have to read through the dumb new paywall comments first?Right, and from there you can use the usual route to start the forum chapter thread (which is currently limited to privileged users).
