The front page currently displays releases based on scanlation date, not book release date, nor upload (to Dynasty) date. The date you're referring to is meant to be left at default (the current date) unless uploading something that has an old scanlation, but for whatever reason never made it to Dynasty in the past. Theoretically, the division you mention is intentional. Does that clear it up or address your suggestion?
Therefore, the "Released on" were meant to be the scanlation release date after all? Not original book release date.
That clears up my not knowing what "Released on" meant, but I got confused in the first place because the term isn't clear enough, I suppose.
Also in admin panel > chapters, there are columns for "Released on" AND "Created at". If the second is scanlation release date determined when the chapter is uploaded, wouldn't that means it's scanlation release date, and the "Released on" was meant to be the original book release date? When I entered 2017 there, I got the release not showing on the front page instead.
Suggestion1: Edit the text for "Released on" to be "Scan release date" or some such.
or
Suggestion2: Front page (and list of upload when browsing tags etc) to display books based on "Created at", and edit the text for "Released on" to be "Original release date" or some such, meant only for informing readers.
Thanks.
