It works fine if all resources are fetched with 200 status. But sometimes it shows 503 on js/html parts. https://ibb.co/7WTkQTB 204m13

Ah,

I forgot to remove some of the DDOS mitigation stuff from our cyber attack on Sunday. I've removed it.

Please let me know if it's better.

Yes, works fine now.

Hi, did something change with pending=true?

I'm sure it used to work before, and it showed pending series along with approved series. Now it shows nothing if you're logged in, and only approved series if you're logged out.

From my memory:

• Cover was: N/A, NO COVER, or NO IMAGE
• Description was something around this line: "This series is pending and is awaiting approval"

It should show you any series you've added that are currently pending.

I don't see any pending series from you? If it worked before, that's definitely a bug we need to fix.

It should show you any series you've added that are currently pending.

If that's the intended purpose, then it's not a bug.

I used to be able to see both without even having ed/logged in to the site. And I found the parameter quite helpful since I could see new series ahead of time.

If possible, I'd love to have it back, maybe with two separate parameters: pending series (from you), and pending series (from everyone). But I don't mind otherwise, though.

We will be improving moderation tools to enable the community to help in the process. When that happens, you'll be able to see pending items like everyone else.

Hi. When adding a release with chapters starts with "0" like "0-3", it displays as "-3" while pending. This forces me to write a comment to clarify every time.

Hi. When adding a release with chapters starts with "0" like "0-3", it displays as "-3" while pending. This forces me to write a comment to clarify every time.

So, I went down the rabbit hole of trying to figure out why this is happening. For non- s, we have a "clean" function that removes certain prefixes that s add like "Ch" or "chapter" or "c", etc. In there was some code the removes "0" if it is the first character in a volume or chapter.

I was curious why we did this, so I tried to find the commit in our git history, but found it was added before we started using Git 8 years ago. So, I found our old subversion files, figured out how to import them into git, and discovered that the code actually predates our usage of subversion, starting in 2008.

So, your guess is as good as mine as to why that's there. I went ahead and commented the code out.

Edit: Lambchops let me know about the errors of my ways. Apparently it was added because lots of people add releases prefixed with zeros. I re-added it back with a new exclusion to ignore "0-".

I found bugs:

• Advanced search: Only show completely scanlated manga with no releases
• Advanced search: Only show completed (including oneshots) manga with no releases
• Items Per Page setting on Edit Profile is not working.
• (For Mobile) Rating and Average are nowhere to be seen in your list, only the Date Changed is displayed.

And I have some minor suggestions for the site.

In the API docs, there are multiple sorting options for the search function, but only Title, Year, and Rating are displayed.

- score
- title
- rank
- rating
- year
- date_added
- week_pos
- month1_pos
- month3_pos
- month6_pos
- year_pos
- list_reading
- list_wish
- list_complete
- list_unfinished

It would be better to use a drop-down menu for this. And I also noticed that there are some sorting options available on the Complete List, but not on the other lists; these should also be replaced with a drop-down menu.

Other

• Comic type in the advanced search should be a multi-select option.
• Title/Description search in the advanced search.
  • And a checkbox to "Apply the current filters"
• A checkbox to prevent the current filters from being reset when using Title/Description search in Series Info.
• On-hold count should be included in the List Stats as well.
• A way to underline text with the markdown when posting on the forum (maybe I just don't know how.)
• Include the series ID in the RSS, or somewhere in the Manga Info. For example, the ID for Parasyte is 1000

Issues:

• Resolved the issues with advanced search
• I was able to set my default to 100 and view the series page, where I saw 100 items. What section of the site is not working for you?
• On Mobile, it's working as designed. Perhaps we should change the completed list to show rating and comment instead of Date Changed?

Suggestions:

• That same API method is used for the series stats, list stats, and what's new pages. The extra options aren't hidden, so much as they're just used on those other pages.
• Which sorting items are on the completed list and missing from others? I know there are a couple more for the reading list.
• 1000 is the old pre-update ID system. They are deprecated and will eventually be removed.

I will review your other suggestions.

Thanks for the response

• I was able to set my default to 100 and view the series page, where I saw 100 items. What section of the site is not working for you?

Looks like it's not working here. In the Series section, when you click the brackets, or the numbers, only 15 series per page are shown.

• On Mobile, it's working as designed. Perhaps we should change the completed list to show rating and comment instead of Date Changed?

It would be preferable to show the Rating and Average only when the list is sorted by Rating, and to show the Date Changed when sorting by Date Changed

• That same API method is used for the series stats, list stats, and what's new pages. The extra options aren't hidden, so much as they're just used on those other pages.

I checked it, but there is no way to filter out any genres you do not read. We have more freedom of options when we just use the advanced search instead.

• Which sorting items are on the completed list and missing from others? I know there are a couple more for the reading list.

On-hold List are missing these:

• By Date Changed
• By Latest Release
• By Unread Releases

I will review your other suggestions.

One more thing, I did not include this in the list because I thought it wasn't a 'small' change at all.

I have a problem regarding the search engine — I think it is outdated. Sometimes, it's really hard to search for a series. For example, I want to search for "B is for BOSS", but it tries to search for ["B", "is", "for", "BOSS"]; too many results.

My suggestion would be to use a more modern search engine and sort the results by popularity by default. I have an example of this in practice, but unfortunately I cannot share the website here.

Edit: Oh, wait, I found the series immediately lol… I don't when this happened, but, uh… my point still stands. I still think we need a better search engine, though. And It's also really hard to search by description because it uses the same mechanism.

This is hopefully a minor quibble from pre-code update, but you can't move a series to your unfinished list from the series page itself, only from your list.

It's always been like that. You have to move it to On Hold first, then you can move it to Unfinished.

Found another bug

Some commented with a code block, and it messed up the UI. The text is cut off on PC, but it messed up the screen completely on mobile.

• https://mangaupdates.sitesdebloques.biz/series/1zitx1c/kingdom

Second bug (?)

Go to any author/artist's page

Click the Series Title (Click for series info)

It does nothing when you click Series Title. I think it's supposed to take you to

https://mangaupdates.sitesdebloques.biz/series?author=[hid]

Similarly, when clicking "Series" or any year in the publisher's page, for example 2025, it should also take you to:

https://mangaupdates.sitesdebloques.biz/series?publisher=[hid]&year=2025

Same for scanlator's page.

And this one should urgently be fixed: when going to a certain big publisher's page, for example Shueisha, Naver, etc. It takes a long time to load the data all at once; it's very inefficient and abusable.

• Resolved the issues with advanced search

Looks like oneshots with a release are still considered as "no releases". It can be worked around by selecting the "Exclude one shots", though.

Other suggestions

• An option to filter only by a certain scanlator/author/artist/publisher in the advanced search. I think this already exists? I'm referring to the 2nd bug.
• Advanced search: Fuzzy search
• Advanced search: Show all manga in all of my lists
• Advanced search: Maybe a way to filter series with no description/tags so Updaters could easily find and update it?

Bump:

• Filter by year range (e.g. 2016-2019)
• Filter by status
• Filter by chapter count (e.g. <=15 / >90 / 20 / >=20 <=52)
