MangaDex Development Update - March 2026

I strongly dislike social media style comments, and if that leads to the death of forum discussion threads because it's no longer easily accessible because it's no longer directly linked and people are too lazy to look for chapter threads within the forums, then I'll probably just disengage from discussions entirely, and I don't think I'll be the only one to do so.

Would it be possible to show a screenshot on how the new comment system looks?

Chances are, it'll probably look something like this:

Chapter comment UI in NamiComi

Series comment page is NamiComi

My main concern with the comments on the site replacing the forum posts is what happens if a chapter or series gets deleted?

The way it is now, the forum posts about a deleted chapter remain intact. Will the same happen on the comments-style?

It's important to keep all comments history both for information and preservation.

I hope we can still quote posts because limiting reply links to a "@Somebody" like in v3 made conversations very hard to follow. Or at the very least, we can have nested replies.

That is the current plan. Quote:


I have no idea if that's even feasible so I'll let someone else comment on that.

Nope! The forums will remain open

Thanks for answering.
I have one follow up question

Will there still be a link to the forum posts from the chapters on the mainsite after the new comment system is implemented ?
