    So I have been reading on quidian recently, mostly originals and while it never was the best design app, it atleast saved on what page in a chapter you were. but now it seems that that feature is gone? or atleast most of the time. does anyone have any information on this? I mean with it sometimes saving it makes it seem more of a bug than a removal of the feature. and with the constant half crashes that have begun to pop up with the last few updates it seems like qidian is becoming worse than it already was. so if someone could tell me whats up with this that would be great, thanks.

    It only really saves your reading progress if you're logged in to an account. If you're not logged in, it will only save your progress on your current device (e. g. if you're reading on a pc, it won't save where you're at if you then read on a phone), but it's also fairly unstable, i'm pretty sure logging off wifi and stuff wipes your progress, and it also does it randomly from time to time.

    @Tony, it's time to create a script that during threads creation detect the word qidian and create a pop up with the following
    Have you tried qidian forum
    Have look around the forum or are you bringing fresh news that everyone knows a week ago
    Are you a bot
    (Same one in chinese)
    If you answer no to all of them you may procced

    This would solve a lot of this threads

    that is kinda wierd. you would think if they knew about novel updates since 2016, they would know where to look for info about novels or their sites. its usually noobs who just started reading novels recently and are maybe using aggregate sites who just learned of novel updates to ask these kind of questions?

    Sounds like he is preparing for the eventuality of posting on qidan to require their currency as well. Just imagine saving up to read a novel = same as posting a comment. The horror! :blobfearful:

    Yes I know that I should have gone to the qidian forum to ask for this but i've had problems there earlier and so i went to the place were i used to look for novels, thinking that maybe some of the older readers knew something. though I dont know about active member since im not on here that often anymore.

    I read on phone (webbrowser version not app) and it has gotten way better at not throwing me 15 chapters back adter tabbing down. In fact it hassnt happened once in the last 2 months or so. I think it helps if you are actually logged in

    Yes and no.
    Yes it's bad because when a novel goes premium unless you have ample amount of excess money to spend on unlocking chapters you will have to drop that novel. Or they are twats and cause a translator to drop a novel you love like king of hell that I was reading

    No since the app is really good and easy to use and most of the novels they have are decent

    Preposterous! A company selling it's books instead of giving it to us for free! We should sue them! Wait... It's actually their right to do so? Oh...

    To be atleast somewhat helpful:
    There have been a lot of reports about server / login issues and problems with the library recently...
    I guess they will fix it soon... I personally have been spared so far.

    I think this happen to me once when the app is updated. the saved bookmark somehow got reset after update. if not, you might accidentally delete the data for the app the when you clear your app cache.

    I mean if you've already bought the chapters and qidian throws you back, thus deleting your progress, is it really their right to ask for that cash again just so you can figure out where you were?

    I only get that issue when I have the browser open on more than one device, but if I leave the novel on both and come back it does remember that I bought those chapters, even if it thinks I went back to a previous chap. I just click on the last one I unlocked.
