    It's fixed.

    This is fixed too.

    From NUF? Not at this time but I plan on editing the current 'Reading List' link to go directly to a person's profile. From there, you can click on the 'List Created' tab. For example, https://www.novelupdates.com/user/3/Tony/?rl=1 will go directly to my reading list.

    It should add the novel to the end of your current list. If it doesn't, do you have javascript disabled?

    Nope, I'm 2-3 years behind on ATG. As for LMS, 4 years behind as I dropped it when I got busy with NU :sushi_dead:

    Then nope! There's no need for a maintenance for this feature blobmelt_thumbs
    If you're having trouble then you either have cookies and/or javascript disabled. Please re-enable them and try again. If it still doesn't work then it might be an addon blocking it.

    1. I thought of allowing personal tags too but having a messy tag system will make it harder for others to find stuff. It'll just be thousands and thousands of random tags. It's better to have a set amount of tags imo. As for a sub-list, I'll have to think about that later.
    2. There's no alerts system for NU yet. It's something I want for NU in the future though. It's also the reason why I redesigned the profile pages and the account settings. It's to prepare for the future.

    To everyone else, I'm still in the middle of fixing bugs. If I didn't quote you, it means I haven't fixed it yet. I've read everything in this thread and will continue to do so. With that said, please keep reporting bugs if you find them!

    How do you sort the list on mobile? Either I'm unable to do it or the (click and) drag system doesn't work on mobile.

    I can confirm that it's bugged on mobile. I'll fix it as soon as I can but for now, you can press the "Edit" button located at the bottom right hand corner then manually enter a new ranking number. Sorry about that :sweating_profusely:

    Now I just need to figure out how to recommend a novel beyond "I like(d) it."

    Now on the novel pages there is the "List" section. So are the lists that go there ones that have the said novel in that list or would it be random?

    Nice, it looks great!

    As a side note this thread has reminded me of a feature I keep forgetting to bring up but never remember to post anything about... I hope one day we wont see forum posts in the top nav from people we have blocked/ignored... the number of times I have gone to a post only to see a non sense second post responding to the blocked person is quite high... then again that might be my fault for blocking a frequent/prominent forum poster who likes attention. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, like I said I usually only interface with the forums via the top two posts thing (or three when it is an announcement) so I dont normally go directly to the forum.

    Just found out the wrong apostrophe (the one from Microsoft Word, probably) when used a title makes it hard to search.
    Was confounded on why I couldn't search for "I'm a Spider, so what?" and it turned out to be the apostrophe.

    Updated alternate title and search worked fine after that.
    https://www.novelupdates.com/series/kumo-desu-ga-nani-ka/

    [edit] I take it back. Updating the alternate title on the novel page allowed the search to work, but when I click the English, it doesn't select into the novel search box. I can still use the japanese romaji title though.

    clicking the Engislh search result does nothing:

    I'm guessing this is a problem handling (normal) apostrophe.

    [edit] Trying to search for

    Crossing to the Future, it’s Not Easy to Be a Man
    doesn't work either (same problem as screenshot above).

    so I tried going to the novel page and copying the chinese text.
    https://www.novelupdates.com/series/crossing-to-the-future-its-not-easy-to-be-a-man/
    穿越未來之男人不好當

    I can see that as a match and choose it to search for, but when I search, it takes me back to the original list page without showing me search results.

    https://i.imgur.com/JCigPLn.png

    just takes me to https://www.novelupdates.com/recommendation-lists/?st=1

    Ouch. Dropping stuff because you got busy creating the website for the community that translates them.... That's depressing in a way.

    Is this the correct default report text? @Tony
    Not that I really wanted to report yours, just wondering...
