Bugs Chapter Upload and Chapter Sorting Issue

[Kitsuna]

When I upload a new chapter and then use the 'save sorting' feature to reorder it, the chapter disappears from the 'latest' section. Weirdly, the most recent chapter shown in the 'latest' section is from 2/3 hours ago (basically the chapter right before the new one I uploaded) instead of the one I just added. Plus, if I use 'save sorting' before uploading a new chapter, the new chapter doesn't show up in the 'latest' section at all.

For example, I'm in the middle of a rewrite, and I scheduled a chapter for publishing, but then I deleted the old one and sorted my new chapter down the list. It never showed up in the latest updates. When I tried again, publishing it first and then reordering it, it showed the last chapter of my story as the latest update instead of the rewritten one, and for some reason, it said it was published 3 hours ago.

I even tried updating it normally, placing the new chapter at the top of my novel, and it worked just fine. But as soon as I use the 'save sorting' feature, it disappears and the latest update goes back to 3 hours ago. It's pretty confusing, and I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen.

Ah, this thing.
Unfortunately, it isn't exactly a bug, but rather a side effect of an intentional feature.

What you are tripping over is the "main page anti-cheat" function, which was implemented to prevent authors from hogging time on the main page by constantly deleting and re-uploading chapters. It also triggers when resorting chapters.
