Manga being removed from MDLists

Hello,

I don't know if it's linked to the current "issues" but as I learned from it, I went to check some of my list.

And I'm surprised to see that the one I made for Thai-made manga being empty.
This is quite particular because I made it just for one manga I really liked and that was The Little Healer.

I thought it got removed following the current situation but when I checked manually, it was still here.

It is concerning if some other are affected like this (not to mention the fact that entries are completely removed instead of just chapters), this will mess up all the mangas I've been tracking which I already took times to reorganized and remember what I've read long ago...

I don't know if it's a bug but If it's like this, I have to find some alternative for tracking purposes.
Because back the early days of MD, there was a possibility to write manually the last chapter number we read (and that would change automatically when reading a newer chapter).

This was never implemented back after the attack and the implemention of the new website version.
I would have liked to have that back.

Especially when groups can remove without any warning like that series Haimiya-senpai wa Kowakute Kawaii.
I read some, waited for more release so I can read in one shot, then all chapters are removed by Setsu Scans.
Luminare Translations took over some and started translating early deleted chapters and now I've been checking again, Setsu Scans put them back.

The frustrating thing is I don't remember which chapter I read last time since all the reading icons are reset so I gotta re-read everything again and this is just time consuming...

There is/was a bug that caused lists to be wiped under certain editing conditions:
Saving a custom list before the manga data is loaded puts a new value, wiping the user's custom list.
This seems more likely the cause than any other recent site issues. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to restore the list data to its prior state. On the plus side, the individual chapter read statuses should be unaffected, so you won't need to rebuild those.

[Redacted comment about how fixing this bug would have been a more valuable investment of dev time than launching a social feed]
