New Literotica Story Page Feedback & Comments

I do like the new page, but the change did wipe out probably the best feature for mobile (at least iOS, across all the major browsers as far as I can tell)…I read stories in reader mode, and at the end of each page, I have to switch out of reader mode, scroll back to the bottom of the page (because toggling out of reader reloads the page at the top), select the next page (either by tapping on the page number, the page dropdown, or the next button, then re-enabling reader after the new page loads. That’s a fingerful to type, and even more annoying to have to do.

The old page automatically loaded the next page at the bottom of the current page you are reading, without any action on the reader’s part. Any chance you could enable that on the new page?

A few other thoughts on the read/bookmark indicator - it’s a challenge because when you’re choosing a story to read, the info you see depends on WHERE and HOW you look. If you’re on an Author’s Story Submission page, you see the vote score, category, and a summary, but not the bookmark indicator…so in that path there’s nowhere that indicates if you’ve interacted with the story before. If you do a story search, those results have a little more information, showing average rating, # words (I think, or it could be characters?), # who favorited story, #of comments, category, data, and a single bookmark indicator (another side note…some of us try to keep up with what we’re read using the bookmark tool, but it’s not really suited for that purpose…).

I guess my first rambling point is that it would be nice to see all the things, no matter how I’m searching for a story, and my second point is that it would be nice to have a way to mark a story as read and to see that, along with my rating (if applicable) at the top of page 1 of a story.

I've found something a little annoying in the new interface. Any new authors that publish their very first work (for example, author JoeyD9 has published a story called "The First Time" today. I accessed the story by looking at the "New Exhibitionist & Voyeur" link (https://www.literotica.com/s/the-first-time-184). When I try to access the author's page (the new link https://www.literotica.com/authors/JoeyD9), it doesn't show a link for "Work" available. The same doesn't happen for authors with other works published, as you can see with VanessaEvans (https://www.literotica.com/authors/VanessaEvans), who published a new work today, "My Perfect Woman".
By the way, aonther new author (shamescenes) also published their first story today (Maddie's Underwear Humiliation), but there is a "Works" link at their profile. Go figure!
