Am I misremembering or did it used to fade out the chapter titles when you've read them?

No, you're correct. They took that out and added back the eye icon that they had near launch (which never seemed to work properly) and took out shortly after. I didn't even notice the tiny blue line before it was mentioned here.

I'm a great fan of the language filter being tied to a cookie that gets lost when it randomly decides to log me out.

Anyone else having issues with long-strip formatted comics on desktop? They work for mobile but I get maybe one image in the entire comic to load on my laptop with nothing but white images for the rest.

finally got a vpn and logged into mangadex, did they remove the ability to hide certain series automatically from things like the latest updates tab and such? there's far too much manhua etc clogging up the update lists, so I'd prefer to hide'em across the site.

There is no problem that cannot be solved through sufficient application of lasers and friendship.
There's an original language filter in settings.

*edit*

It'd be nice if it could be set by group since 95% of the Chinese stuff is just bilibili pimping their own offsite stuff.

aha, thanks! didn't notice that.

edit: is there a similar option for genre/theme tags? it works in advanced search but not in recent updates from what I can see.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.

Did new Dex remove this feature? Blocking specific groups was a big feature of old Dex because of prolific troll groups.

New Mangadex is in open beta, and not the soft launch sort, the "okay, the back end mostly works now, time to get the public to break our front end repeatedly" sort.

Filtering groups is on their to-do list (along with every other feature the old site had) but who knows what they're prioritizing or how fast anything will move.

I never really use the front page for discovery since there's so much trash, I'd rather they focus on the community features like restoring the user score database.

It's always fun to browse the front page and find a cover or a title or a plot description that just shouts "THIS is special! THIS is a thing I need to click on! THIS has something amazing/hilarious/weird/:wtc:-inducing that the other guys don't!".

It's basically how I've found the absolute best and worst titles on the site.

User score never has seemed useful to me, stuff like higehiro gets rated 1 star because the heroine is SOME KIND OF SLUT THATS SLEPT AROUND, though I think that got less bad after they changed how the rating system received 1/2 and 9/10 scores.

They're enough of a crapshoot that their reflection of any actual quality is pretty random. I think the Legend of Koizumi sequel only had like a 5.5/10 when I found it, and that has Anime Mahjong Saiyan Donald Trump in it. Anyone who doesn't immediately give that poo poo a 10 on description alone belongs in a trash can.

It's not even a flattering portrayal. His limo driver is the goddamn HAMBURGLAR.

They say they found a way around the block, but there's no knowing if Verizon cares enough to keep blocking mangadex specifically or if it was just a casualty of shotgunning DDoS-Guard sites and they won't bother again.

not any direct mangadex news, but fyi black cat scanlations (an offshoot after jaimini's box died) and catmanga.org are done, the series they were working on were mostly high school romcom stuff:

-Kanojo mo Kanojo*
-A Couple of Cuckoos*
-Ranger Reject
-Goddess Cafe Terrace
-My Charms Are Wasted On Kuroiwa Medaka
-Matchmaking of the Amagami Household
-Getsuyoubi no Tawawa
-Boy's Abyss
-Dog and Scum
-I Shaved. Then I Brought a High School Girl Home.*
-The Irregular of the Royal Academy of Magic
-Sakurai-san Wants to Be Noticed*
-Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi*
-The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length
-A Rare Marriage: How to Grill Our Love
-Doujima-kun Won't be Disturbed (axed, but someone else on reddit completed the scanlation)
-We Shall Now Begin Ethics
-Ase to Sekken*

Supposedly they had been doing what JB had been caught doing previously (releasing chapters ahead of their Japanese publications) which if that's related to their supposed legal issues then lol. I think also there was some drama with the Boy's Abyss author.

Getsuyoubi, Dumb Prefect, Uzaki, and Sakurai-san I hope get picked up elsewhere

A bunch of erstwhile Black Cat manga got huge dumps on the 'Dex hours after they imploded. It looks like BC's scanlator groups are all going solo.
