Strange, I haven't noticed anything...
Well, it looks like it's working now.

Thanks for the notice nonetheless.

I noticed this too

seems like the site stopped updating

nevermind, after a good night sleep I realize I'm an idiot.
I was expecting stuff from a week ago being in the first page... sorry :P

Seems to work for me - the operator is only recognised by Sphinx, so you have to enable that
Example: https://animetosho.org/search?q=subspl...|erai&qx=1

What query are you trying to do?

is the "|" operator working? I tried searching A|B, but it only gives one between A or B, depending if I enable "Search using Sphinx" or not.
A and B are groups, I'd expect to get both group listed

Unfortunately, no.

Just use Stylus to make your own local themes?

I would suggest Himuro (2023 Q1).
Its gray/dark gray palette is easier on the eyes than darker themes like Gen (2025 Q3).

will you consider recommendation for future themes please?

If you're referring to the site's colour scheme, you can try changing it on the left ("Style" dropdown) to see if one of them works better for you.

Can you just make it black its hard to see what file you view before because it blends in the bg color

Update : Thanks !

Thanks for the suggestion.
This site wasn't really designed for mobile use when it was made, and I can imagine the comment nesting doesn't look nice if they're deeply nested. Switching to desktop mode might help.

A redesign has been on my mind for many years, but I don't know if I'll ever getting around to it.

Well mine's 6.4" and the comments section still look constrained lol

Alright, thanks... but the main point still stands. The comment section on mobile is a pain to use.

You might want to consider improving the mobile experience specifically.

There's a "X comment(s)" label above the comments - if you click that, it'll collapse all the comments, and subsequent page loads will keep it collapsed.

There's no "mark as read" feature here unfortunately.
Your browser keeps track of 'visited' links and marks them with a different colour - I assume this is what you're mistaking for a 'read' feature (if you clear your history, you should see the link colours revert).

So to have what you want would require implementing a 'read' system, which I'm somewhat reluctant to do as the commenting system here isn't really meant to be a fully fledged discussion platform.

But thanks for the suggestion nonetheless!

Displays just fine, get a phone with a screen larger than 5" or from this century and you'll be fine.

Works fine on my ancient Chinesium phone.

Works fine for me. Must be some sort of skill issue on your end?

Have you seen the mobile version of the site? I have, and the comments don’t display correctly.

Oh and : Troll.

It sounds like you want to use a rare occurrence (trix/aura argument) to justify a global change that benefits you (wanting to hide comments pointing out your encode issues).

* and soon you'll hear why it won't be done.

Can't and won't are 2 different things. I'll accept what ever the Admin decides on.

"But keep trying for another excuse why it can't be done when it can."

and soon you'll hear why it won't be done.

Normal people would just skim and move on. People with too much free time (read:chronically online) would complain about mundane stuff like this.

It doesn't have anything to do with bookmarking threads. I like to see what all the new comments are about anything from the last time I checked. But keep trying for another excuse why it can't be done when it can.
It's just a pain to click on a bunch "threads" to have them marked as read.

Yeah thing is this site doesn't work that way. If you're really interested in certain convos just bookmark the damn thread.

Try opening the "Trix vs Aura" page on mobile using the default mobile view (not the optional "View as Desktop" that some browsers have built-in). You’ll see that the comment section is constrained and doesn’t function properly... you can’t even post a comment, especially when replies to a message start piling up.

The comment section is simply not designed for mobile use.

Strongly against this being a default.
Currently AT is very much usable without enabling Javascript on any browser, even very old ones, needing JS to change what to display would suck.
If you don't want to see comments you could configure your adblock addon to hide #view_comments (id) for all comments or .comment (class). A compromise would be some option somewhere (like a cookie).

Not really considering that info is held in the cookie I assume because even after a reboot it indicates the ones I opened to read have been read.

@Admin:

Would it be possible to hide comments by default on all releases and add a "Reveal" button or something for users who want to read or post comments?

This would help avoid loading very large comment sections (for example, 180+ comments on some releases, such as the recent "Trix vs Aura" one), which can cause lag on certain devices and increase page load times on mobile. It would also reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage, even if the savings are relatively small.

I’d also like to point out that the current comment layout is not well suited for mobile viewing, and makes reading or posting comments on mobile quite difficult. Hiding comments by default would prevent unnecessary components (in this case, comments) from being loaded on those devices as well unless the user chooses to load them.

I meant the "marked as read" feature. It's hard to implement that for the anon commenters.

Top right of the home page where it says "Latest Comments [view all]"

Is that even a feature here? Not sure what you are on about.

Not really. I mainly use "View All" and open the ones I might want to reply to or for context. Now if I'm away for a day or 2 I don't know where I left off at. Having the ones I've seen marked as read saves time.

Can't you just... ignore them?

Admin, could you possibly add a "Read All" button for the comment section? It would be easier than clicking on each comment to mark them as read. Thanx.

Our admin seemingly has a thing for waifus from underrated/lesser known anime :)

2025q1 was the last site style that isn't an eyesore

That's Aki from Scum of the Brave as the new mascot girl this quarter, right?  Good choice - she's makes me laugh, and her Japanese voice actress is one of my favorites.

Can you add The Prince of Tennis 2001

I made a change recently where if a TT entry links directly to Nyaa or nekoBT, it gets ignored, which means that the Nyaa/nekoBT listing only gets shown.
This ensures that the metadata shown matches the original listing as opposed to what TT shows.

Hopefully that explains your query.

Thanks, should be fixed now.

damn i forgot every website is dependent on AT for mediainfo and images lol

it likely has more requests than the entirely rest of the site combined, it's a VERY popular and "abused" api

i didn't know AT had an api
