FAQ STARTED FEB 16 / UP TO DATE MAR 10/ LAST EDIT JUNE 7
Changes: I'M NOT UPDATING THIS ANYMORE UNLESS THERES A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
YES YOU CAN EDIT YOUR LISTS NOW. IF IT HASN'T COME BACK YET IT'S LOST
DEVS DO NOT SEEM TO BE EDITING STUFF ANYMORE THIS FAQ IS VERY OUTDATED
AND NO I AM NOT COMING BACK TO EDIT IT ANYMORE
I HAVE LOWK QUIT THIS SITE BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION
SUMMARY:
・ONLY RATED/TAGGED IS COMING BACK. THE REST IS NOT. (disk crash/ info loss)
・NO. This was not done on purpose. Don’t send hate to the developers!
・Please be careful when editing your lists! More info below.
・The only way to recover the rest of your lists now is to do it manually.
・Make a back-up of your lists off-site! (spreadsheet/ mangaupdates/ etc.)
ㅤ‣ 'lists' will refer to your 'read/reading/already read’ lists
ㅤ‣ while 'custom lists' will refer to these lists: http://www.mangago.me/listtag/
Disclaimer: I AM NOT A MOD OR DEVELOPER! Extended disclaimer below.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A QUESTION DON'T REPLY TO THIS THREAD PLEASE
The list recovery info is outdated now, but I recommend you read Suujin's FAQ too!
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080691/
=~=~+~=~= WHAT HAPPENED =~=~+~=~=
Q: What happened? Why is my read/ reading/ want to read list gone?
・EVERYONE'S lists disappeared after MGGO crashed JAN 26 likely due to traffic
・The developers were recovering lists, but the disk containing list data crashed + data was lost.
ㅤ‣ Proof http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21155166
ㅤ‣ Photo Proof http://www.mangago.me/home/photo/50674750
・They can only recover stuff to your lists via rated/tagged receipts after ~Feb 4
ㅤ‣ Before Feb 4, you may have gotten unrated/untagged works back.
・This data loss is likely why the site recovery is taking longer than usual.
Still don't understand? http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21091022/ (ty seabi)
In regard to the site future: http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21014248/
・The situation with THAT SITE is scary, but I believe this site will stay up as it always has.
・Just remember, this site isn't legal anyways, so it’s a good idea to back stuff up!
=~=~+~=~= EDITING LISTS =~=~+~=~=
Q: Can I edit my lists? (Yes? but…)
・Yes, but be careful please and make a back-up off-site. I have seen users have issues
・You may have issues, you may not. But I wouldn’t say everyone is 100% safe
・A common issue is stuff disappearing after you added it, so follow the advice below.
・If you’re recovering your lists, I have suggestions in [OTHER QUESTIONS]
・Devs may still be recovering stuff. If you re-add something it overwrites the original date.
When editing/ adding stuff please:
ㅤ‣ After adding an entry, go to that list to check it is there.
ㅤ‣ If not, refresh after ~10 seconds. If still not there, add it again.
ㅤ‣ Update your off-site backup whenever you change something.
ㅤ‣ If it still gets deleted after you confirmed it was in your lists, DM me.
List of issues I’ve seen here: http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21451186/
EXPORT: User Gurl (www.mangago.me/home/people/3402357) has created a way to export your lists

=~=~+~=~= MORE ON LISTS =~=~+~=~=
Q: But I heard we were getting everything back? (OUTDATED)
・After list data was lost, it was confirmed we're not getting EVERYTHING back ANYMORE.
・They managed to recover up to early 2022 before the disk crash last I heard.
Q: Why is everything in ‘Already read’ + Why is deleted stuff back?
・Everything was seemingly being added to 'already read' before list data was lost.
・SPECULATIVE: Unrated but tagged: goes to “Want to read.” If both: goes to “Already Read”
・They are likely recovering stuff to your lists if it has ever been marked as being in there.
・A user had works recovered to their lists that have been deleted off the site.
=~=~+ COMMON ISSUES + SITE RECOVERY + NOTIFICATIONS? +~=~=
Q: I commented OR added something to my list/ custom list/ album why is it not showing up?
・The database + what you're seeing aren't synced due to the site recovery. (Suujin's FAQ)
・You might need to wait ~20 seconds then refresh to see if it's updated.
・If it's not there, try again + refresh again. Sometimes it just won't go through at all.
・Sometimes, the entry just won’t go through. (CAN HAPPEN TO LISTS)
Q: Why am I constantly getting logged out?
・This seems to be a mobile-only issue. Maybe read on PC for no interruptions.
・Something about the login session not being tracked properly. (see Suujin's FAQ)
Q: Are they still recovering my lists? (Maybe)
・As long as the works were rated or tagged. With no announcement, it's safe to assume it's ongoing.
・Even if list recovery is over, the site recovery is still ongoing
・Why I think so: a few users have books added years ago in between recent entries. Likely recovered.
・A user had a 2011 entry in between Mar 6/26 entries. They think it might’ve been recovered.
・If you *know* you tagged/rated stuff and it’s not back yet, you may just need to wait.
・If they aren’t back AFTER they announce everything’s ok, maybe send them an email.
Q: What about my notifications?
・Stuff is not in your lists (notifications only come from 'reading' and 'already read')
・The notification system is just not working properly. (Seems so after Mar 9 issues)
・You aren't subscribed to the title.
・You might not get notifications sometimes, so I suggest:
ㅤ‣ Checking your history and looking for the "have new update after your last reading"
ㅤ‣ Remembering the update schedule of your favourite works/ check them weekly.
=~=~+~=~= OTHER QUESTIONS =~=~+~=~=
Q: What can I do to recover my lost titles (MANUAL)
・Go through your comments/ on-site history/ lists, etc.
・Check your browser history. Most browsers only save up to ~3 months of history.
・Go through lists with tags you're interested in (www.mangago.me/listtag/)
・Ask for some stuff in the questions section! Some people have lists they'd like to share or remember titles you've forgotten.
Q: What about the comments section + my personalised comments?
・There is no information on when/if this is coming back. They might not.
Q: Can I email someone? (TLDR: DO NOT!!!!) + Uploading new manga
・I suggest not. The developers are very busy and haven't been responding since mid Feb.
・It's expected as they're a small team and this is a big site.
Due to this, uploading new manga is seemingly on hold, but here is a guide anyways
http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/1077438/ (Method is in page 7 of the comments)
You might need to email them again after they announce they’ve stopped working on stuff.
=~=~+~=~= REMINDERS =~=~+~=~=
・We do not know what state the devs are at with site + lists recovery, especially after the disk crash
・There is no confirmation if recovery is over
・There is no timeline as to when stuff will be fixed
・The site is still unstable - you may come across issues.
・I am not a developer/ insider - I can't fully confirm/ deny things
=~=~+~=~= DISCLAIMER =~=~+~=~=
I’ve seen people saying… things about me so I made this disclaimer.
This FAQ is created based on user’s experiences + theories from users with backgrounds in IT. I’m trying to make sense of stuff based on what little information we have and hopefully provide answers to confused users. I never said my words were strictly the truth. I always say 'maybe’.
I can't confirm nor deny if lists are safe to edit. I’m not a developer. It’s been a month without major issues, so I’ve changed my opinion. But based on recent user experiences, I still advise people to be careful
=~=~+~=~= THANK YOU + QUESTIONS FOR ME =~=~+~=~=
I'll be editing this to include answers to more questions I've seen + any new info.
After an edit, comments get wiped until someone comments again.
Also thank you to everyone sharing this link + other's links! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
If anyone has any other information they'd like me to include + want to share, DM me!
If you think something isn't explained well/ I need to re-write for clarity + you have something you want me to add, DM me through the site.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A QUESTION, DON’T REPLY TO THE THREAD!!!
=~=~+~=~= RECENT UPDATE =~=~+~=~=
MARCH 10: I’ve made major edits here. If you can’t understand it anymore, please let me know
Please don’t get mad at me for changing my opinion on editing lists. I’ve been thinking of changing my advice since the end of February, especially as some people have been okay. But as others faced issues, I was torn. I was also scared to change it because I would possibly face backlash, and it went against someone’s advice. I’m sorry. You’re allowed to be upset with me, just don’t attack me please.
This situation has overwhelmed me. I might take a few days off from the site, so if you need to contact me, please DM me.
Someone emailed the devs and apparently got a response saying it was okay to edit lists. This was a while ago. I don’t know how I missed that information. I'm sorry. I still advise you to be careful though, due to the issues I’ve seen.
MARCH 22: Yea, I've been really happy lately now that I'm not dealing with this, so I'm going to completely stop keeping track of the situation. Ts genuinely ruined my mental, even though it wasn't that serious (〜￣△￣)〜
Fantasy × Supernatural
D-Done

L-Later
Not me trying to regenerate my reading list, I had at least 3000 already reads in there. What happened?
Does anyone know that yaoi where a buff uke dies and gets reborn in a game where he falls in love with the demon lord who's a twink?
This chapter just took a real big ass turn, think y'all got a lot of explaining to do comment section crazy fr fr
Y'all, there's thousands of yaoi made and this is one of the sweetest stories I ever read, why isn't there so many like this one I'm sobbing I need more ╥﹏╥
I'm totally crying, when the daughter started talking about the miscarried baby nah I cried a river, my heart melted with the ending of this story. The beginning was super cliché but the ending was really niche.
WHY WAS THIS SO GOOD OMG I LOVE THIS, THE ARTWORK, THE FREAKING PLOOOT AND THE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP??? I'M SORRY BUT IT WAS 1000/100
Gurl gave that whole goddamn sad violin ass spech to explain why she fucking put him on a dating site??? Exfuckingscuse me girl ure just a weird ass homophobic? Kind of? Idfk. but like why the fuck did you go meddling in in OTHERS PEOPLES BUSINESS excuse me then give a whole "oh my gosh I have a sad backstory" ahhh speech and then say "oh actually I don't support you guys hihi"
Ayo, yall know the name of a manga that is a man that served in the military and has a baby and goes to the a village where he mets a dude that runs the village. It's a yaoi.
Totally forgot the name of a yaoi, where there's like this ex military guy who has a daughter and the mom left and he goes to the country side where he meets another dude, super tall and they're already dating in the last chapters, and I wanted to see if there's more new updates but I can't seem to find the manga （/TДT)/
I dare you give me a good yaoi recommendation that I haven't read yet.
First the plot is horrible, but I was already expecting that, just love that everyone got traumatized in the comments with something that for me it's just another Sunday, bro I read almost everything in here and I've been shocked so much that this is nothing anymore.
This is so frustrating, just date already, or at least see that u guys have feelings for each other bruhh, and how I'm the hell is she straight, If I asked a straight girl, "hey can I touch your boobs?" Gurl would call the police on me right away, like uhm I'm sorry what, how can she assume that she straight, that's what I hate in gay romance's, it's so cliché, and the facy that it makes me feel 100% single asf
Give it a rest yall, you can still wish for a special present from Santa Claus, ahahah yall made me do it, you guys are a bad influence on me.
For the people that want to read more of that manga, so they don't have to wait here's the link in Portuguese:
https://3xyaoi.com/bl/dead-or-alive/
SPOILER:
For the people that can't read Portuguese, the next chapters is that Calahan finds out that
Johnny was running away, did not quite understand that, but I don't think that his guilty, but it looks like he robbed opium? Idk if I got that right, then he gets tied down in the house, when Calahan fights someone in the street, then some guy's that were from the gang from the partner that Calahan had, (and he killed him) kidnap Johnny and leave a note to go to a hill, they all die, except this guy that makes Calahan get naked and they get to a part where Calahan tries to distract him and, him and Johnny jump to the water, but then Calahan gets pushed by a big stick and gets sent away in the river, then Johnny starts hallucinating and gets rescued by a villager, then he gets a job that is to kill a chupa cabra, but its a monkey and Calahan, that got rescued by monkeys, then they ran, and have a depressing conversation, where i didn't understand shit, just that his still gonna give him up to the police or whatever that is, then they have sex in the train, like a goodbye.
