WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
Did you roll out updates for the mobile site as well just now? I don't use the mobile app. I wasn't sure if this belonged here or in a separate thread, so I decided on both. below is a repost of my feedback from the thread I created

I noticed the mobile website just changed on Firefox for Android. Not using the mobile app. I'll be listing bugs and criticizing it below.
List of currently spotted bugs:
1. No forums button to open forums page.
2. 'New to Webnovel' section is mislabeled as 'Trending Original Stories' The section has non-original novels. Should be called the 'New to Webnovel' section just like the desktop version.
3. Rankings does not work properly. The 'original' option is greyed out and unselectable.

Other feedback:
1. New novels section is confusing. Doesn't seem to actually display newest novels first. What is the order going by?
2. Just like #2 mentioned in previously, the new way of selecting original is cumbersome and hidden. It doesn't currently work, but if it did then I'd have 3 steps. Tap translation, then tap original, then tap done. Three steps under a barely noticeable drop-down menu. It's bad design.
3. The new version of the 'updating' section is ugly since most new novels don't have covers yet.

Another random note on the website in general for both PC and mobile.
1. Why not move trending originals near the top after the Recommended section? It seems weird how Ladies Pick is up so high.

    WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I had the same message pop up on android too when I went to unlock a chapter. Something about account security and needing an update in broken english. I didn't click on it and checked for updates manually and found none. I can't reproduce the problem, but I can confirm it happens.

      Yet another bug on Firefox android. Scroll to the bottom of the last chapter of any book and an error will occur. No error number. Just a generic page that says "We might have some troubles to find out this page. Please TRY AGAIN or BACK TO HOME

        Found forum in the sidebar. Bad not to have it on front page too though. Only reason I ever made an account was because I explored the forums and saw the writing contest. If that button hadn't been there then I wouldn't be a writer right now.

          WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I got this problem that everytime I read the Latest chapter it Crashes and it only crashes on the latest chapter. Im using Sony Experia and I didn't have this problem before the update...

          Opinions:
          - I still prefer the old version where you can access the forum page easier as
          compared to now, it's quite troublesome.

          • The 'Comics' function is okay and is better than wasting a whole column just to
            place 'Featured Comics'.

          • What kind of irks me though, is the placing of the "What's Next" and "Ranking".
            I'm so used to the previous position of the "What's Next" that I keep pressing
            on "Ranking" instead. Though there isn't any bug in this area.

          • Overall, the four icons; Genre, Comics, Rankings and What's Next have no errors.

          • If there's a "Ladies' Pick" why isn't there a "Guys' Pick" or something? I mean
            coughs why promote romance stories so hard kek. (I'm a girl who just wants more action than romance xD)

          • If there's already a "Ranking" icon at the top of the page, then why is the "Power Ranking" still existing? It's the same thing isn't it? Let's not waste space and just replace it with the "Latest Updates", alright? Q.Q

          • Again...there's a "Ranking" on top of the page then there's another "Power Ranking"
            then another "Ranking". (Why waste space...) Why not just dedicate a single column
            to "Ranking"s instead? Instead of splitting it to like: 1, 2, 3! [Ik each Ranking
            functions with different 'categories' but at the end is still the same function
            is it not?] | You guys really love Rankings huh! xD

          • When you scroll to your right, an "Updating" section appears. Well, I kinda see
            nothing except for No.3, yeah :')
            [Tbh...till know I still have no idea how to insert screenshots here...so uh when I find a way, I will insert it x'D]

          • Scroll right again and you be seeing "New Novels"... I have no comment on this one.

          • Remember how there's like a banner slider at the top of the 4 round icons? Yeah...
            I can't seem to swipe it! Kinda miss this function, hope it comes back :3 | Lemme access forums easier too!

          Similar Type of Novels Recommendation (Right under 'Ladies' Pick')
          - The idea is nice. Yep, can recommend more similar books to readers and they don't have to one by one knock from door to door from the searches or tags u-u

          • The share button to share the topic works perfectly fine and there's no error in it.

          • Although when I tried to press the "Read" button so it will directly direct me from the topic page to the book reading page, it didn't work.

          [I think...besides the final point....I didn't really encounter any bugs lol.]

            ChaosDemon Also is not being able to send screenshot a bug too? I want to send a screenshot of my new chapter exp problem (Like what you replied to me) since it's already been 2 days. However when I press the 👁format, pic & video guide on my android, it just grey square outline my texts reply (became uneditable) and below them has the blue rectangle with the topic of this post and on its right side with the 'x' to exit. I can't choose the pic to post because there is no indication on how to do so nor was the gallery opened. How am I supposed to prove both of my cases 😭

                I just want to give my opinion, can webnovel keep 'recently update' fiture, because you know i have much novel that i want to read with the new original if i like, but for this update i still don't like with the new webnovel, i hope my opinion can become a reality

                No longer able to see Latest Updates. I NEED that feature.

                  How do I send a Screenshot here or where? 8 have several bugs to report.

                    I've been reading new chapters, but still cant get epx for catching up on the newest chapter☹️

                      BookKitty I miss the forum function and the latest updates column T.T
                      And does anybody know what is the purpose of the "UPDATING" ranking?

                      @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I can't seem to rate any of the chapters through the app and I am using the updated Android version for the app too.....it has been going on since the previous update.......do correct this error. Thanks

                        I can't get exp for catching up to newest chapter.

                          1. Buffering chapters.
                            Buffering of the previous chapters right before the locked chapters is common in my library those having 900++ chapters. There is also buffering on the unlocked chapter, which is in between the locked chapters.
                            📖FMHM... ch1-946 can be read but when scrolled to the next chapter 947 until before the locked chapter (last read before update), the screen is buffering since yesterday.
                            📖GEWW, buffering starts at ch231 upto the last read before the update.
                            📖TKA, buffering starts at ch984 upto the last read before the update.
                            📖AGM, buffering starts at ch1003 upto ch1151 whether locked or unlocked chapters.
                            📖Mr. CEO...100%, buffering starts at ch571 til where it was last opened before the update.
                          2. Re: contents
                            ▪Scrolling the contents
                            When scrolling up/down the contents, the highlighted (blue text) chapter would return once to its position when it disappear from the screen due to scrolling. Thus, if you are at 946 you would see the highlighted chapter to scroll down twice when you fast scroll downwards.
                            ▪Selecting a chapter in the contents
                            If you select a chapter(Y), it goes to that (Y) but when swipe back to the contents the highlighted chapter is the previous chapter (X) before selecting the (Y). This happens after the 100th, 200th chapters. But it was good when you just scroll the previous/next chapter as you read it.

                            I found a bug. After reading the latest chapter of my book I can't receive the "catch up to the latest update" exp. Please help.

                            Found a bug but this forum was gone from the list of forums I have a screenshot and everything but How do I send it??? Oh and I found a chapter with no comment section T.T

                              IntrovertScribe Same issue. Both the daily mission to "Catch up on the newest chapter" is not triggering as it used to and the "attach screenshot option" is unavailable. Or so well hidden that I cannot find it, which I guess is a different type of issue but probably also still worth taking action on. Assuming this site wants more people to attach screenshots.

                              @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL The daily mission issue has been for the last 3 days. Not sure how long "attach screenshot option" bug has been going on for.

                                DaoistWolf I actually had trouble with posting a screenshot, even the tutorial guide didn't help me...I just posted a link to the pic I put on my google drive 😂 you can check how your comment looks like through an eye button bellow while commenting
