    is there any way to get email notifications of novel updates? or we should check the lists periodically?

    You can use the Reading List feature, so you won't have to check the site regularly but can check your reading list when you have the time.

    I think e-mail isn't possible, but you can subscribe to Novel Updates RSS feed to get notifications of it...

    You can also follow this tutorial to get push notifications from it.

    Hi, so sorry to bother anyone, but this looks like a really helpful thread, so I’m hoping you all can help me too. If this isn’t the right place to put this, please let me know and I’ll change it, but I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or there really is a problem. Well, there’s like two problems.

    1. So, I’ve got my releases at the top of the page and the list/global settings show that the highlight colors should be on. But they’re not showing up.
    2. When I click the little box that signals that I’ve read a release, it’ll click at the moment with the proper highlight, but as soon as I refresh the screen or if I go to the series page, the box is again unchecked and no highlight either. And my reading lists aren’t updating with the chapter numbers I’ve read.

    Does anybody know what’s going on? Have I done something? I don’t even know if I make sense. I can include pictures if needed.

    Edit: Am I an actual idiot and missing something obvious? That’d be embarrassing...

    Seems like an issue of slow internet connection? I can't think of anything else... If you refresh the page before it finishes loading, it won't mark...

    I’m currently using my iPad, but I tried it on my laptop and it was doing the same thing. So I don’t think it’s a problem with my equipment. Thanks anyway.

    Nope that’s not it. I asked my sister to login to her account on my iPad and it was working fine. So it’s something specific to my account. Thanks anyway.

    Any other ideas? Or somewhere else I should post this?

    You can try comparing your sister's Reading List Setting (both Global and List setting) to yours, if hers works fine. If you have a problem regarding Novel Updates that you think is a bug, just post at Suggestions & Bug Reports subforum.

    Oh, oh I’m really an idiot. I did this and figured out that I had accidentally checked the “Enable Manual Reading List” button. That’s why it wasn’t working. Thank you!
