[Custom Lists] I'd like to have extra icons to assign to custom lists 1y5g4g

For example, an X for "not interested", a ? for "might want to read", a green star for "one of my favorites", an H for hentai, etc. 405k6s

Furthermore, if possible, I'd like the "choose a list to assign to" dropdown box to always be visible, so I don't have to go from Wish->Reading->Unfinished using the buttons. The dropdown also having the icons would be ideal, but... probably not worth the effort

Anyway, thank you for reading. (:

Bump. Any chances of this happening?

Another bump, for which I apologize. Do feel free to tell me off. I'll be back to bump it up again in another 1.5 months or so.

And so 1.5 months have elapsed, and I have come around once again to bump this topic, in the hopes that my voice will be heard.

Honestly, just the ability to add series to a list with an X for uninterested, and have differently colored want-to-read markers for degree of my interest in it, and purple variants of icons for hentai, would be amazing. 🙁

EDIT: Btw I'll be back in around 2 months to bump the thread again.

Another regularly scheduled bump, after 2.5 months. I'll come back in another 2.5 months or so.

I believe Novel Updates has a feature like this. Pretty neat. I'd love to see this here.

Even the ability to chose from the pre-existing icons would be nice.

Huge thanks, this is great! I think that by now my only wishlist thing for the site would be a column for chapter count and ability to filter by it, so that I can properly search for longer series.

And perhap making manga search search titles, rather than releases, which makes no sense to me.

EDIT: Also, there's a lot of useful Unicode symbols that are not emoji, which are all that is included in the link you have on custom lists page.

On the series page? or list page?

Both there and when searching. In general you have some inefficient UX around, in my opinion. Like I think it should be easier to access the advanced search functionality, or even better, add new conditions on the search results page itself. Also while it's not major, the radio options in genre search could well use being checkboxes instead, would be nice to have tag autocompletion, saving default options, and the ability to add manga to lists directly from results page. And I did mention that I believe manga search should search titles, rather than everything else, by default, didn't I?

Also, possibly quite importantly, the titles of baka updates tabs are kinda useless - since every one's title starts with the lengthy "Baka-Updates Manga"(rather than end with it), it makes it harder/impossible to quickly identify various tabs by title.

Anyway... this would be I think all the complaints I can think of at a moment's notice. Oh, ability to access custom list editing through too, since that's a kinda intuitive place to look for settings.

Thank you for your ideas.

Most of the code is from 2004-2006. Unfortunately, most of the design principles/standards and UX concepts are from then as well.

I'm working to improve the code base, but hope to get to your ideas soon.

Is it possible to get all Titels of this site in a List or does this result in a problem (too many stored)? Is it a problem, if too many people do this?

It´s like i wrote before i "always come across the same i already looked up" for example in the search for Categories and since not every Genre is displayed when i look them up, yeah well.... (While being in one Titel i click the Categorie "Animal Sidekick" and well ... "Yaoi" or "Hentai" )
So i want to mark them with "X" for example. But then it´s a huge amount of Titels in a list ...

I would do this (when no Problems accrue) but easier would be if i could exclude them while looking up Categories (stuff like "Hentai" )
