    This is fixed.

    Oops. This is fixed.

    With that said, I fixed all reported bugs. If you find any other bugs, please report them!

    @Tony Small feature request. Could we get an undo button on the novel chapters. I keep pressing the checkmark when trying to scroll on my phone and then I lose what chapter I was on and there is no way to reverse it.

    My suggestion is to use the sessionStorage and keep the previous chapter number when you click the checkmark to update the novel chapter number. The Undo button will then revert the chapter number using that sessionStorage info. The previous chapter info is then removed when the session is closed which is fine with me.

    I know you are busy but whenever you get the chance this would be amazing :blobsmilehappyeyes:

    You could just check what chapter you were in by looking at the logs? It's at the top left of the Reading List page.

    @Tony

    There seems to be no notification when someone commented in the created list. Or is it something that can be configured?

    It hasn't been implemented yet. Tony needs to write more code for it. He opted just to release the feature instead and worry about it at a later time.

    It's fixed. Thanks!

    It'll take 24 hours before your list shows up under 'Recommendation Lists' for those novels. The only requirement for a list to show up is to have at least two novels added to your list.

    It's pretty hard to find NU users from NU at the moment. It'll change when I add more to it. For now, you can just click on his reading list link and it'll go directly to his profile.

    The forums (NUF) and NU weren't created at the same time. NUF was created on Oct 19th (or close to it). Around Oct 19th, everyone who logged into NU at the time was also granted a NUF account. The problem is a ton of users weren't active and didn't get a NUF account. This means a lot of numbers were missing on NUF since not all NU got a NUF account.

    @runsing showed up later, created a NU account, logged in and got an earlier account # on NUF.

    You can find all lists (public or private) you created via your profile: https://www.novelupdates.com/user/54416/CodeTime/

    I rec you make an announcement to ping thing so that when something new is posted, we get pinged. Then again, I prob would’ve known if I followed you. Oh well *shrugs* I know now.

    Anyway thanks for the hard work :blobhug:

    Ooooooooooooooooooh, that's a lot easier than my method of comparing user number on NUF and NU and making wild bets of what his number on NU would be and keep comparing it until I found the right one... Teeheehee~

    Glad to know~
    That makes plenty of sense! No wonder they're different! \(^^)/
    You can always watch the announcements subforum~

    Right. I’ll probably miss the notification. But I’ll do it anyway. Thanks >.<

    I can't find the Recommendation Lists I've followed.
    How can I see the lists I've followed?

    I thought Shounen Ai meant no sex or if they were of age and in a sexual relationship other than kissing it would not show it just imply and yaoi showed it soft yaoi being less detailed than hard yaoi I'm writing about manga with novels it is kind of the same reading Dodge the Ball from Foreign Devils there was intensely looking, kissing then waking up for the uke with a sore waist :blobsmirk: the thing with Bara I like it depending on the story again talking about manga and I know I'm not the only female who thinks that

    That's how they're kinda used on the west, but in Japan Shounen AI isn't even used anymore, but it used to mean that it portrayed underaged characters.

    Also, most readers don't even know that Shounen Ai exists.

    Basically, Shounen Ai is a dumb term that should cease to exist because people don't use it right and its meaning isn't coherent with the source language.
