MangaDex v3 is live, and a general site update!

[Harry_Dong]

@Holo
Yeah, guests commenting was a bug, lol.

Lol. Whelp. You can just do what other tech orgs do and just call your bugs "features"

 

[DanYHKim]

"Exclude" feature in search is very welcome. That's a big help for narrowing searches!

 

[crazybars]

Yeah, that was a really nice feature.

Also liking that we can still use the legacy reader. Just works much better without any frills, IMO. Loading all images is also really useful for my crappy overpriced internet connection.

I'm curious as to how the logic works with this, especially if you think your connection is bad. You're loading the exact same amount of data regardless, but on legacy you're forced to download all of it at once and with no regard to the order, which means the chances are you'll end up having to wait longer than you would on the new one in order to read the comic sequentially.

Hello, can you please tell me how I remove certain groupo from appearing in follow list, I see same chapters posted by other groupos but I only want read the one groupo I always read, gets very very angry when I see new chapter post BIT IT SAME CHAPTER I already read from the groupo I read, please tells me how to remove groupos from posting to my follow list. please and thanks

If it loads the whole chapter then you can open the first page and then wait as your crappyy internet downloads the rest of the pages before you start reading. If its only loading the next page then you end up reading a page and then have to wait for the next one to load, which is really annoying. If your internet loads pages faster than you can read them then this will never be a problem, but unfortunately thats not always the case.

The update release list why the upload time not seen?

 

[Zario]

Can't read any manga chapters is it still updating or is it just me?

 

[Plykiya]

@Zario Are you on mobile or desktop?

 

[angel06]

All manga I try to read ends up with a blavk screen. Is it supposed to be that way?

 

[Keppu]

I don't like this new update. x_x Why fix what isnt broken? (Unless it was broken and i just never noticed)

And the way your follows show up on mobile x_x The line break between the title and the new chapter is the same line between each chapter. So it's damn near impossible to tell if "Ch. 11" goes with the title below or above it. You should just get rid of the line between the title and the new chapter number. (Edit: and clean up the formatting)

I'm not a fan of how the title, chapter, translator group, name of poster, and viewed status got reshuffled for mobile either. But I guess that's more of a me getting used to it change, which i dont like either.

I also dont like the new settings side bar when you're actually reading a manga, I feel like that change is really messy and just adds to confusion.

Edit: Question answered

 

[Renko]

This new update is simply AWFUL in mobile for me.

The whole thing doesn't even make the site "better" in my opinion and it simply adds difficulty to reading and browsing manga.

I have to put the site on Desktop mode just to make it bearable.

Just why? Why?

 

[Bastadon]

will there be tags specifically for H-works or are there already and i'm just missing it?

There are tags for Hentai. Note the red H next to the titles most everywhere. Holo still has to implement a fix for when it gets pushed off the screen on some list views (caused by the title being too long).

 

[Bastadon]

i mean like, specifically for detailing what the thing is about, not just if its hentai or not

If you mean genre tags specifically for Hentai, that has been suggested and approved for implementation 2 months ago. Your guess is as good as mine for when it will be added.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

@rdn yeah, there's nothing like it under the cog

 

[elephantNo5]

Your update is killing children. Let me hold my spacebar in peace! Just give us a legacy mode! (oh, we have one? okay. back to holding the spacebar.) ?

TL;DR
My internet isn't slow...just frequently disconnects between 1/4 to 1/3 of the time, which is a real headache during something simple as watching a youtube video, or uploading a chapter and internet dies halfway through, forcing me to reset it, sometimes multiple times a day (happens more on holidays, weekends, and in the middle of the night at 3am).

With the old reader, I just have to wait until I'm in the green and load any manga chapter page, the browser loads all images in an instant (less than 2 seconds), and I'm good even after wifi drops in the middle of reading, which again, happens a lot. By the time I finish reading a chapter, the wifi should have been back up (if I didn't reset it first) and good to read another chapter. But with the new reader, I can load max 5 pages, read all pages, wifi drops, then I have to wait several minutes until it comes back on before refreshing and doing it all over again. I tried getting used to it while it was still in beta, but just couldn't get myself to like to more than the simpler legacy reader for that reason.

Plus, the old reader just looks better on my monitor and tablet, in my opinion.
