For some reason, the option for "Show all (Some hidden)" for manga categories does not work, it just resets the page on the manga page so I can't see what categories a manga has except for the ones already shown. I use safari on my phone, and even google but this issue is still there. However if I use opera gx on my computer, it works fine. Also whenever I open a manga, it says "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If this continues, please notify an administrator.". I can reload the page but every few seconds, it pops up again. Also I cannot add anything to my reading list, as it just shows "Something went wrong".
What version of Safari are you using?

1) I can add tag, but i cant remove my own tag (so far i tried multiple times but it worked just once)
2) I cant use enter in [add category] field
3) After closing "voting" option categories fold up instead of staying unfolded
4) May i know whats up with that blockade on background-image userskin code? Is it intentional and i shouldn't use any custom skin on site or it's just coincidence and mayby can be fixed?

This should be resolved.

Can I have more details about this?

This should be resolved.

It's due to a strict content security policy we have in place now. I'm considering relaxing it, as others have requested this.

- I usually only fill in a few of the same tags (mainly "full color") en masse because I only read one genre/type, so I have "Full Color" (and/or others) in my notebook, which I used to paste into the field, press enter and the page immediately added it to the list of tags, and now using enter doesn't work.
I also have a problem when I don't enter the whole name or want to correct it after switching to another tab - what I entered so far simply disappears from the field.
- Oh nice, so its allowed to have customskin, right? (I know two sites where its banned and if you post any screen with any customskin you can end with ban on account) I really loved that painting as site background ^^ ana i wonder why it was possible to change backround color but not add image?
btw Have you thought about adding a dark skin option sticked to a logged-in account? I know that people love dark versions these days ;p

Would it be possible to redirect from old search to new search?
Previous search url example: https://www.mangaupdates.com/search.html?search=nihei
New search url example: https://www.mangaupdates.com/site/search/result?search=nihei
There's a couple of usecases that depend on the search url (eg: duckduckgo bangs, firefox custom search engines, bookmarks, extensions, and few bookmarklets & userscripts). I've tried to update the ones that I can but for most of the others, there's no way to guarantee that it gets updated and might just remain broken...
The new search definitely feels snappier on mobile and so, I am not sure how easy it would be or how much complexity it would entail, but I'm hoping that it'd be possible to redirect search (similar to how old series url are redirected to new ones)
PS. Sorry to piggyback on this reply; it was the most recent relevant message I saw on the thread

I noticed that on the manga page, the name of the list you put a manga onto is missing. For example, let's say I have a custom completed list called "Completed Shounen Manga". If I put a manga onto that list, it only says "The manga is on your completed list" but not that it's on the "Completed Shounen Manga" list. It was different before the update. The icon is shown correctly though.

I am having difficulty replicating this. It shows "This series is on you XXX list" for me. Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong place?

If you visit the manga page of a manga which is on a custom complete list, it says "You have completed this series Or maybe not...
Move to:". With the list it is currently on even being listed.
If the manga is on a custom wish list, it says "This item is on your wish list". In both cases it doesn't write the name of the list. It should be something like "This series is on your #custom name# list" or "This item is on you #custom name# wish list" instead. I was sure it was something like that before 🤔

This is what I see...

It looks different from my UI 🤔 https://imgur.com/a/qLqV6FH
This manga is on a list named "Shounen Ai Completed". The only way to tell is by the icon though.
Btw I'm using the mobile version of Chrome.
