Product Updates & Casual Natively Discussion

On My Books, filtering by Audible JP provider doesn’t seem to do anything… Or at least it’s returning tons of results that don’t have an audiobook (manga included). It works fine on the main Books search/browse

Also filtering by video for the Activity feed on the homepage still include book gradings. Filtering by books works correctly though.

Minor bug… I have finished 9 volumes from 百合姫 | L25 , however My Books shows it as only 5 finished. I’m pretty sure that this is because I finished 4 of them (4, 5, 7, 8) before they were added into the series page. Not really a big deal, I just noticed it by chance a few minutes ago

Hey all! I know there were temporary outages in the last hour or so, apologies on that! One of my servers was acting up (had too much cpu load and it crashed… strangely).

Should be resolved now~

@brandon I’m seeing a weird caching bug. 箱入りドロップス 2 | L20 on my list is showing in my “Reading” section even though I have marked it as “Finished” and on the book page it correctly shows as “Finished”. This appears to be a server side issue because even opening my list in a private browsing session still shows it wrong in my list.

It’s actually in both statuses in my list. :joy:

It looks like the search imperfectly romanizes Japanese text and then returns results for that instead of using the actual search term… has it always done that?

Searching for “人形” (ningyō) also returns a ton of results that contain “人魚” or “にんぎょ” (ningyo) and vice-versa, instead of only matching the provided kanji (or at least respecting the vowel length in the reading).

Some parts of discourse seem to be acting up. Like user profiles, activity and such.

I’ve noticed a while ago that there is a certain book that seems to give me this error whenever I click to go to the second page on My Books and it stays on the same page as before


After investigating it seems to be something on the 53 page when I search for books and then I also get an error, so I’m not able to find out which book is causing these problems

I did a bit of additional digging as well. It seems to be a level 24 manga with a temporary rating. I couldn’t find any tags that it does have, so it may not have any. It definitely does not have any of the following tags:

It also has links to Amazon, Bookwalker, and CDJapan. It is not “free”, does not have a book club listed and is not showing that it has won any awards.

My guess is that it is a new manga that was added recently, but I can’t verify that. Even with my best filtering attempt, there are still 40 pages worth of manga that fit the criteria so no idea what the culprit could be.

Edit: When ordering my filtered search by “recently added”, the error appears on page 14, which seems to put the date added sometime in March of this year based on the first activity in the activity feeds for manga on pages 13 & 15.

You know I think this may be the same issue I brought up earlier regarding the 本好き manga not searching. I had requested Part 4 or 5 (I forget) last March and it ended up being a duplicate and caught by the tool, but ever since I’ve been unable to search 本好き if any manga are part of the search (works fine if manga is excluded from search)

That sounds like it could be the culprit. If it was quickly caught then it probably wouldn’t have any tags and would probably have a temporary rating of 24.

I searched “好き” for manga and ran into the same issue on the 2nd page. I searched for “bookworm” and did not run into the issue at all. It seems like the title didn’t get translated in the system before it was caught, which would explain why English works but Japanese causes problems.

@brandon to make sure he sees all the good detective work here.

Is anyone else having trouble right now? Just getting this loading spinner ad infinitum when I try to go to the home page:

And if I use any direct links to a specific work I get this:

ETA: Well, the loading spinner stopped but this is even weirder:

Works fine if I use another browser though… so I am sure it’s on my end. Very curious though!

Something weird with the certificate too:

… I’m not seeing anything like that :sweat_smile: what does it show in your address bar? Do you see anything in the inspector that shows a redirect or something? I’m intrigued

I was getting errors this morning when trying to connect but I was also having local internet problems so I’m not 100% sure whose side it was on. It did sort itself.

I feel like this is something local to you. I have tried three browsers (chrome, arc, safari) and can’t replicate. Unless @brandon has suddenly done something very very strange and it’s still making it’s way through to everyone :sweat_smile: I’d love to know what’s going on though, so weird!

Yeah, I am pretty sure if I clear the cache or cookies or whatever it’ll probably be fixed… but then we wouldn’t be able to solve the mystery anymore! :stuck_out_tongue:

ETA: Yeah, if I open up an incognito window it works fine.
