    Wasn't sure where to ask this, so forgive me if this is the wrong place. (Also not a bug report, so I didn't want to submit one via the form.)

    Anyway, is it possible to change the release date of an already posted translation? Specifically, I'm referring to the oneshot I translated last year Depth Charge. Back when I translated it, I couldn't find a chunk of the story since the author had deleted it from their post. Now, a year later, I decided to look again and actually found it (or more like some kind person posted it). I've since updated my translation with the updated chunk, but now I'm wondering if it's possible to alert people that it's been changed, hence updating the release date, since the newly added bit is actually a decently significant moment in the story.

    If it's not, that's fine too! Thanks in advance for any help/insight!

    what date do you want it to be? (take note that it wouldn't be on the front page, even if the date is changed to today's)

    btw, this is exactly something to use Report Problem form for >.>

    That's fine! Can I have it as today's date?

    And, ah, OK, I'll use the form next time!

    How do I stop a conversation from sending me emails? My inbox is being flooded with an email for every message from a conversation.

    I have a question, how can I post? As you can probably see, I am new, I only got around to making an account because I am trying to look for a novel I wanted to reread tho I don't remember the title. I saw in the FAQ forum that you need to have 1 post or you need your account to be 24 hours old, and I don't really wanna wait 24 hours, but I don't know how to make a post.

    Does anyone know what the Year section on a NU novel page is for? Is it the year the novel was first published?

    yes. published / first available to public - is the primary usage.
    though you can also put the range of years during which the novel was originally being released if it is completed. (i.e 2015-2018)

    Is there a way for a thread to be unlocked? I saw an interesting thread, but people unfortunatelly went off topic and a mod locked it... Is it allowed to ask a mod to unlock it or is that thread a goner?

    Make a new one. If there were no replies for 90 days any following replies would be locked/deleted anyway with the same suggestion.

    Sorry if this is somewhere buy my search if failing me for once.

    I was just wondering is that a policy about people putting translations of chapters in threads. Not snippets of quotes, but the entire chapter either copied and pasted from some translator/aggregator site, or running the chapter through MTL software and pasting the result into a post.

    I just happen to be noticing it more and more in spoiler threads (possibly due to the threads I look at changing over time) but was wondering since I keep seeing it in threads for Korean novels, and not always in spoiler tags either.
