Major Visual Change

Lazeez Jiddan (Webmaster)

I've been working for months on a new way to display pages on the site, so that I can do more radical themes.

Today I've deployed this new code.

However, since the change is so massive, I've been unable to check everything personally. Especially that it's mostly visual.

Please use this thread to report bugs and visual bugs.

When reporting a visual bug, please start the message with:

1 - System in use (Window, linux, Mac, android phone, iPhone, etc....)

2 - Browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox etc...)

3 - The theme you have selected

4 - Page url where the problem manifests itself.

5 - As accurate of a description of the issue as you can.

Android tablet, Chrome browser, dark theme.

The My Library page now has a bright yellow background in the chapter column when a story has new unread content. This used to be a soothing green. The yellow is a bit jarring considering it's supposed to be a dark theme. Can it be toned down a bit please?

The actual main reading pages look to be fine still and that's where I spend most of the time.

Same, definitely prefer the green.
Banner about the change was the same.

If it matters, I use a dark theme on the website

Linux, Firefox 142.0.1, classic theme.

Home page seems unchanged, New stories displays as usual with a centered column and space on either side, but Updates spans the whole page.

No other changes noticed, no big deal.

Win 11 - Chrome.

When I'm reading a story, the column with the text appears even narrower to me. I've always favored a little wider than we had, but I can live with it. I don't remember the link to the previous and next chapter in the header before; that's a nice touch. However, it could've been there all along, but I just realized it.

My two abandoned stories are still glaring at me with angry, bright yellow. It reminds me I lost my way on them... Good work Laz!!!

All in all, the changes are pretty nice.

No visual issues or even noticeable changes in any screen I have went through as a reader, and as a writer. All checked after a computer reboot, then using Ctrl F5 to clear the page and force a reload. Looks great on my side.

Pixel phone. Android. Dark mode. Author page Carlos Santiago last update in 2025 is displaying white text in yellow box which is illegible.

Mac, Safari, I never changed the theme so I guess it's classic.

The "Chap" column on the My Library page is really bright yellow. Too bright.

Windows 10, desktop, chrome. Annoying yellow previously mentioned in the active serials page where I spend most of my time. If possible I would prefer an option for things to remain the same. Then again, I suppose progress moves on.

My Library page light gray text is small and hard to read.

Had some more time to root around, and all of the links on the left of the homepage (ongoing serials, complete stories, older stories) open up full-width like the updated stories list.
