Welp, too late.
Kinda waited too much for it to be fixed, it stopped moving weeks ago and i kinda remember the most important stuff that i had so I'm fixing it myself when i have time.
If it fix itself,good, if not and it's true that only rated ones are going to come back I'm fucked. Never rated anything intentionally.
Appreciate your work in trying to help Xander, your efforts are clear. Problem is, aside from you, Sujin and perhaps a few others sharing information from the devs, we're not getting clear communication. There's definitely gonna be a few fools who still don't read a banner at the top of the site, but a majority of us would really appreciate an announcement of some kind. Otherwise, it's not clear what to do with your information saying it's not all gone, but others saying that it is gone. I understand your frustration, but one announcement, in clear words, clearly made from the devs themselves, would tell me what to do.
Way too late for this tbh. I guess we are just frustrated at the moment not at the dev but because our list our gone, mixed up, and same with our note we are never getting those back. Most of our work will never come back because they are not rated or tagged, that’s like half of my want to read. There is no timeline to when everything will be fixed, so it like a waiting game. Fix it yourself or wait until it be fixed?
All love to the devs though, I know they are trying their best
there were announcements when it first happened. sadly they got buried. also they are in the FAQ's section. though there is someone there pretending to be a dev and they aren't. so take that one with a grain of salt. they do parrot what the dev's did say in the original announcement a little, so it's not totally a miss.
sadly when it's equipment that fries vs software, yea the timeline for things extends. and when people don't listen to the "do not mess with things" that time line stretches even more. hardware frying takes longer to recover vs software because you are dealing not only with issues in the software, you're dealing with a damaged unit. an item that will only work so far before going "nope not thinking no more" were software you can sometimes give it a little time to think slowly and then it goes 'oh ok i got you, here this is what you're looking for"
Haha I know, I took some computer classes in high school. Just saying for people who don’t know about it they probably wouldn’t understand and just seem to think manual putting the list back together is good enough for them. For me I just want my notifications to stop being bomb with messages of things I want to read being in the already read section, which is causing a mix up in my noficaftions
oh thank gods someone else that understands computers on here and not just me and 1 other!!! as for the notifications, they can be turned off and on as you like on the notification section instead of on your list. at least that's how i did it before, unless they've changed it since then. i don't know anymore cause i've stopped bookmarking my stuff using the lists a while ago, i bookmark using firefox now
Fml love, I've been telling people to not edit stuff and then I'll go check their account and its mass edit + mass edit
I know I shouldn't lowkey act like a bitch about it but damn ヽ(`Д´)ノ
I also am concerned about my mass posting and I really want to stop knowing that thats just more packets for the site and shit but people just lowk do not listen
I've also sadly been skeptical of you and included that in some responses that I'm not sure if the info was 100%, but thats cause that Doll mf scared me to death fmlll
And even if the info wasn't 100% I still told people to NOT TOUCH THEIR LISTS
And what do I see when I enter their profiles??? ╥﹏╥
i have never said nor will i ever say i'm a mod or a dev of this site. unless they hire me and they haven't. i even corrected several people in several posts when they called me a mod or a dev before. and i will keep correcting people. all i do is gather up what i've read in the FAQ, what i've received from others (no not doll) and what i've received myself. figure out what's going on by that and what i've dealt with computer wise myself in the past. yes, i have gone to school for computers and business with computers so, there's a lot i do know about them. do i know everything there is to know about computers? no and oddly enough no one ever will because 1. they change almost daily now. 2. no matter what anyone says old or new, computers will have a mind of their own! 3. depending on how you treat a computer, it can last a lot longer than even the manufacturer says it should run for. more so on the newer ones that are built to only last a few years now.
Its ok I know you're not a site mod, I just meant the trusting if lists should/ should not be edited suff
Cause the site isn't 100% back up + a crash could happen again that I've been unsure to spread the don't edit stuff
Regardless it is good practice to save off site
And I wrote ts at fuckass o'clock so I was tired asf lowk rambling
Moving forward now, does your opinion on still advising others to not touch lists stand? I saw some people say they still got their lists edited these last few days so I'm lowk still advising against editing
That and with increased traffic and everyone mass editing their lists, it could cause issues
yes, the suggestion still stands. just remind them that if it glitches because they edited it's on them, others warned them. most of us that were around week 1 and part of week 2 have pretty much just walked away now. because why should we keep repeating the same things over and over again to people who wont listen? at the end of the day if their lists glitch on the final pass and they have to redo things, all we do is say "told you so" and walk away ::: shrugs :: though that is getting a little old too >.< ::: counts ::: let's see this started....January .....we're looking at 3 weeks now?? @.@ i've lost count ::: shrugs :: but now you see why the devs made their comments and left them in the FAQ's, put a bot response to the emails and have pretty much ignored everything else now as they work.

let me give you all one last heads up. Some of you out there are stating to go ahead and mess with the lists because they aren't locking you out anymore. please ignore those people. Here's why. They really don't understand computers, software and websites apparently. If a hardware piece of a computer, in this case the server goes down (aka fries) you have to put new software into it. then have to make it connect to the other parts of the server. then you have to make sure it can link with the website. after that can you start to try and get back the information from the fried server part. ONE PAINFUL FILE AT A TIME!!!
Locking everyone out of their lists also locks the devs out. it doesn't work having to lock you out, work on the page unlock it, check it, go back to locking it, pull the file (in this case a manga) put it up on the list. unlock check to see if its there, lock the thing again and repeat until all the files are pulled.
it's easier to leave things unlocked and pull and just going back and forth to check.
IF the devs REALLY wanted to be jerks, they'd lock the whole site to everyone and hey guess what, none of us would be able to read anything until the glitch was fixed. So be happy you can still read mangas right now AND LEAVE YOUR LISTS ALONE!!
