    It would be better to make the LCD icon in the front page and the novel page to be more obvious. Some people might not realize what is it for.

    could it be...

    the red arrow points to novel with LCD linked
    the blue arrow points to novel without LCD
    -notice the different color of dialog bubble? it is clickable
    red X is the one you're saying, perhaps?

    Try making the highlights that mark the reading list novels on the main page a tiny bit more distinct.

    Being here for a year(with just this account) and not knowing that is inexcusable though.

    more community-friendly reading lists --> something like a forum with the best/upcoming user reading lists. It would help with the endless flow of 'give me recommendations' and give a better exposure to less known novel. I think it would help the entire communauty both for us veterans and the newbies.

    There are still more crucial changes that can be made i know but starring system is a lttle bit misleadingand unfair since it includes everything you think of a novel. if there was 3 or 4 different star ranking could be more efficient under the average of all that .
    Like:
    Novel av. rating 4
    Ch. and world dev. 4
    Translation 5
    story 3

    Some just wouldnt like content of story (go read whatever you like right?) or just feel like mc s backstory is too weak too much to be curious of but doesnt have an answer and give it 1 star av. but on the other sides of these it deserves 4 or more. Everyone can relate i think.

    Would it be possible to add icons/notes to translation groups(privately)? I won't name names, but there are a few groups that are either peppered with advertisements and have adblock killer, mobile redirects with adblock killer, etc. These icons would help me remember what sites not to go to on mobile and whatnot.

    Before I receive any hate for the adblock, I whitelist if the advertisements are reasonable. I report problematic advertisements to the website in question, but it falls on deaf ears. Hell, I was even "banned" from commenting in one group for pointing it out in a polite manner.

    Ummm, is a thing !!
    IMG_4146.PNG
    !!
    You have to make a new separate list and edit the settings.
    You use the "Edit Lists" feature for this
    IMG_4147.PNG
    IMG_4148.PNG
    Good luck !!

    1. The current focus is on core issues, but I hope we can increase integration in the future!!
    2. We have it!!
    IMG_4150.PNG
    It's hidden in settings on the user profile. :)
    IMG_4151.PNG
    See... I'm not the only one who wants it @Westeller !!

    How will it be kept up to date? Users? Too easy for someone to randomly change it to troll.

    Highlighting for releases by translator groups? How about an "add all from this group to [x] list" which would have all your settings you already custom set up ^_^

    Uhmmm... I don't get the reference psyx~
    IMG_4152.PNG
    But here. "Hide from public reading list" ;)

    You can make a second list and move it there manually once you finish ^_^'

    1. The reading list feature. This entire post is examples >_>
    2. You can edit reading list icons IMG_4148.PNG Just make sure you edit the setting to make it show on the main novel page.
    IMG_4152.PNG
    This setting is per list so it... can seem buggy but is probably user error / no good tutorial (yet)
    3. I would like it very much! I wonder how @Tony would implement it to output the range though... it definitely would need to be flexible.
    Example: c1024-1025 are released at same time. The tab would need to update to show only 1025. Not [1020-1024-1025]

    4. We've argued good ways to sort multiple groups before. I think this is a really good way to handle it!

    5. Ahhhhh skipping past that would be nice. At the very least when you are going to page (x). Its a pain to try to get to page 20 of 50. Click 7. Scroll scroll scroll. Click 14. Scroll scroll scroll -_-
    This @Tony !!

    6. Exists!!
    IMG_4154.jpg IMG_4153.jpg
    That little talk bubble is the LCD link.
    Use this thread if an LCD exists, but it is not linked on NU

    7. That would be nice

    8. If it's not on your reading list, it can't be rated. You must be a user to enable the reading list.
    Here's my feature request @Tony !!
    Ability to hunt down and review ban nu users! That guy with 200+ one star reviews is crazy!! We need the ability to stomp that Q-O

    9. +1

    10. A way to feature something from the translator would be cool. Would they use it though? We would need to verify the translators account and make sure they were the ones posting it, or make it so only mods could edit that in. This seems difficult.

    11. Shhh, huge secret! It's ok ;)

    IMG_4154.jpg
    http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/latest-chapter-discussion-merge-request.4332/

    +1

    Rather than a way to fix the mistakes, a way to not make it in the first place!! Nice.

    Just create a custom list titled dropped.
    Reading List Tutorial (See: How Do I Create a New Custom Reading List?)
    You can hide the novels on that list from your front page. (See: List Settings)

    Don't know if someone already answered you already, but you can use the following link: http://novelupdates.com/getrandom.php

    You mean this? http://novelupdates.com/getrandom.php

    Use this http://novelupdates.com/getrandom.php

    Create a custom reading list and be sure to enable "Hide from Main Releases Page"

    You used to be able to uncheck, but too many people unchecked accidentally so that feature was removed.
    You can also click on the novel and do delete them this way:
    [​IMG]

    Everyone can already do this through the series finder.

    Result of image above: http://www.novelupdates.com/series-finder/?sf=1&dt=12/15/2016&mdt=max&sort=abc&order=asc
    And you can refine it by genre, reading lists etc.
