    first, try this.
    https://www.novelupdates.com/reading-list-logs/
    see if there's changes logged

    however...notification app ? as in mobile phone app? :hmm:
    you'll need to direct those question/report to the app's creator then. NU doesn't have an app.

    I'm so confused about this. First, why remove the icon we use, and not the "Show me chapters I have not read" one (only useful when there are more than one, but also made redundant (takes exactly as many ui-interactions) by the fact the title-column links to the novels own page)?

    But more importantly, why were there a need to "make room for the new feature"? There is easily room for two more icons without changing any kinds of margins, and if you do change the ones inside the table you should be able to cram in 9-10 more without even changing font-size, icon-size or the width of the title-column. If the l-submain-h has its max-width removed (or changed, removing entirely gives too much free space inside table and too little margins) (both the "(index):226" one and the "motioncss?ver=3.85:1" one) you end up with far more room to cram features in, albeit admittedly only for screens that are sufficiently large (responsive design perhaps?)

    Thank you for all of your hard work and for keeping this site going.

    I am very happy about the option to disable this new feature. Thank you.

    I agree with evlbb2. Because the icons looked really nondesript, I thought my computer was just having problems properly loading the icons or something.

    Quick question, is there a convenient way to Temporarily make the main site only show updates to novels on your reading list, or should I make a post in the suggest features thread?

    If you don't like the new display, just change the settings as listed on the first edit of the first post, it will turn back to the old display.
    That's only for desktop, there was no space for it on mobile.

    Also, many users had already complained about the positioning of the "I've read the latest chapter" button because of missclicking it on mobile.

    So, it was for the best to remove it, I honestly don't understand why anyone complained about it, but you can just disable the setting if you think 2 clicks to update your latest chapter is too much.
    There is none, but you can create a new list and change its setting to not show on the main release page. You can then start throwing all stuff you'll never read on it, this will make your homepage pretty clean.

    Mine usually has 0-3 releases visible, with 0 being the most common one.

    Oh hey, didn't know there was a way to put the old display back in. Thanks! I like the idea of the notes feature, but it's just not worth losing my easy access to "mark as read", haha. Hopefully you can get more'n 2 icons to show up or something later.

    I agree with the clicking twice but when you read a lot of latest chapters it gets very annoying very fast.

    It wasn't the extra click that I was complaining about, it was the huge column of lines and boxes. I have vision problems that make it very hard to look at and read. Sorry I didn't really make that clear in my previous post. I'm glad that there's an option to change it back now.

    I support the translators by reading on their websites and commenting telling them how much I enjoy the series and appreciate their hard work. The only thing I use NU for is to see if there's been an update, and the change to the reading list made it almost impossible for me to do that. I have a condition called visual snow, looking at tiny black lines while seeing tiny flashing black dots on top of them is not fun.

    When I made the post you couldn't disable it yet. This has strangely been the most popular thing I've ever posted on a forum...

    Ahhhh, Black spots like when you stare at a light too long? It must be frustrating to have it consistently :(

    I hope you feel a little better about NU now that the option is available?



    Also, @Tony, might a hybrid mode eventually be available where the latest chapter button is placed to the right of the notes icon? I prefer to keep it as is since I use the little book to open my chapters 90% of the time, but it seems a lot of folks would like to have it as an option.

    I love that it's revertible, since the previous system was more convenient for me.

    Also, it seems that long titles are now handled differently in the lists (at least on mobile). Instead of breaking over two lines, they are now on one line with a triple dot to indicate the title is broken off. Neat!

    Sorry about the stupid question, but i am still confused about the "I've read the latest chapter" icon.
    i've searched for it everywhere but i still can't find it ('^-^)
