>1. No search result filter, like not being able to sort by higher rating first when I do an advanced search.
>1. We cant search with popularity/like etc

You can sort by rating and more if you change view mode in the top right to simple or expanded list. These are the only two view modes you can sort with.

@Kryon_PL
>2. It would be awesome if there is a way to see more of latest updated manga on mangadex.
>3. It's okay if it's just a page, or a section somewhere on the Mangadex website.

You can see more of the latest updates by clicking latest updates on the front page. It goes back to five days ago.

@ThinkPositive
>3. When clicking through pages, the page will sometimes go backwards (from p15 to p14 and not to p16) but it does not happen when pressing -> on the keyboard.

If your reading mode is set to left -> right, clicking on the left will go back, clicking on the right will go forward. You can change reading direction or you can set it so that all clicks only make the pages go forward instead of forward and backward. Also, no comments about the reader in this thread.

@ona5200
>1. The "Fit width" option on the reader doesn't zoom the image to fill the width of the container like it was doing in beta.
>3. Not a huge problem, but the "Fit height" and "Fit to container" options on the reader are redundant since they both just fill the image in the container to it's max vertically (unless it does something different on mobile).

Fit to width never zoomed in images. If the image is large enough, it will fill the entire container. If not, there will be empty space. Zooming in will cause loss of quality. The reader will at most shrink images to fit the container, not enlargen them to fit the container.

Also, read the first post. No reader comments.

@Thorindar
>2. The updates no longer show multiple recently uploaded chapters.
>3. On mobile, when trying to scroll down in the long strip view, sometimes when accidentally swiping to the left changes chapter (thought that could just be me being an idiot).

You can change the front page to show multiple chapters by going into profile settings -> latest updates -> grouped chapter listing.
Turn off swipe in your reader settings, it's bugged and will be fixed in the next update. Read the first post, no reader comments.

@ramonkahn
>2. On mobile, it's almost impossible to read manwha - the images jump up and down, and scrolling does not work.
>3. Navigation back (by clicking on the left of the page?) is not very intuitive. In most cases it's enough to navigate forwards - would be preferred to by default / by configuration only have navigation forwards.

Swipe is broken, will be fixed in the next update. Disable it in your reader settings. You can also change it in your reader settings so that clicks only move pages forward already.

@dodibones
>Using mobile ver. and setting it to long plus no gestures and such. But just by scrolling down makes it go to the next chapter. Very frustrating to use on long setting.

You can change it to long strip and disable every single other way of changing pages so that you can just scroll through chapters.
Also, swipe is broken. Disable it in your reader settings until it gets fixed in the next update. Also, no reader comments. Deleted.

@bracket
>1. Why do the H filtering options require an account?

H filtering is locked behind an account because pornography is banned in Indonesia, our 2nd largest source of traffic. mangadex.com was banned, we learned from our mistake and changed our url to mangadex.org and hid the hentai this way. We haven't been banned again.

@CraniumAmbiguity
>3) Would like a special reader view for Webtoons to link all "pages" as one long scroll so they can be viewed as they were intended.

If an entry has the "webtoon" genre on it, the reader will default to long strip (native) and fit to width mode. Exactly the way it was intended to be viewed.
If it doesn't have this, report the manga using the flag on it to get it added. You can change your reader setting to long strip yourself as well, to read all manga in the same fashion.
Also, no reader comments in this thread.

@chokanion
>No easy way to request a cover page update for a certain title

There's a report button on the manga page you can use.

@Le_Butters
>On mobile when sliding on a long comic strip it causes the site to jump from image to image skipping some images as it counts taping and sliding as a seperate action. I would like to have an option to slide left or right to change page or chapter as it's on a long comic strip

Swipe sensitivity is broken right now, it's being fixed in the next update. Disable it in your reader settings until then. Read the first post, no comments about the reader.
Sliding left or right to change page is exactly how swipe is supposed to work when it does.

also, oops. double notification.

@kindaguy

I'm not supposed to make comments about the reader? No wonder this site is bleeding users, decisions are made by a Discord circlejerk and you guys aren't good enough at webdev to use anything besides Bootstrap.

"keep comments abuse free or they will be deleted on sight"
I consider Resetera-tier moderator abuse to be abuse tbh

We're completely open to feedback about the reader and will respond to every message. You can give your feedback in all the other threads we made, you can DM Teasday yourself, or you can come onto the Discord channel to ask them directly. The reader gets updated basically every week and it's highly likely that people's requests are already addressed in the next update. Most people's issue is with long strip/swipe and we've already told just about everyone that it's going to be fixed.

The point of the announcement thread is to gather feedback about existing features that people want changed that Holo should focus on. Deleted, anyways.

3. There is no way to "unread" a single specific chapter.

Clicking the eye next to the chapter will make it unread.

@Harry_Dong

1. Author/artist field limit. (Capped at 256 characters, unless my info is outdated.)
2. Searching for an author with a short/common name also shows other authors. Since the author column cannot be sorted, I have to look at all results to check if I missed any work.

2. Speaking of multi-lines, my biggest gripe is the authors and artists section is still only one line each with no easy way to seperate them (batoto used to use semi colons which made each different name its own hyperlink), Right now it’s ok for one artist/author, not so much for multiple artists or multiple authors who worked on the same series, where it would affect search results.

Author and artist pages are planned so this will be updated then.

@jesusdeath14

1. why have 2 follow pages, its just wasted space you could have used for something else

The follows tab on main page is intended to be a snapshot of recent follows only. While the actual follows page allows more options - sorting by status, chapter follows, manga follows, group follows and is generally more detailed in a way that the front page tab can't be.

@Bainhardt

2. The Edit button for comments made by yourself is large and expands the vertical size of even the shortest of comments.

Got a screenshot of what you mean?

 

[Bainhardt]

If you compare the space below my comment to the space below the preceding comment, it leads to unnecessary padding.

Spoiler

Not really a huge deal to be honest, but if you guys were planning to implement other features like flagging comments, upvoting/liking comments, or anything like that, it seemed to me like you could fit smaller buttons using icons in more places. Lined up below the user icon? In the header next to the timestamp? Idk, but there are possibilities.
When I say "buttons using icons," I mean like this one.

Thanks for the follow-up question! Really makes this feedback feel like a dialogue.

 

[ixlone]

Ah, I see. All posts have edit for me, so never noticed!

@morichiro

2. Can't zoom in/out on mobile making uncomfortable to read because it's either too big or too small.
3. Even when I read something, the "eye" doesn't appear.

Zooming works for me on mobile Chrome. Some older devices and iOS support is still being fixed though. So this might be updated and start to work for you soon.

The eye only appears on chapters for manga you have set following:read.

@y5noone

2. Reading the manga has a small challenge to it as a small border allows for moving up and down the screen. Now that they are gone I consistently move to the next page unintentionally.

Try disable swiping in the reader settings, see if that makes it easier.
