Did I tag the Forum Admin (@Jeremy) ? If I didn’t, I did now. If you are reading this, please explain if we will eventually be able to change the color of the speech bubbles and if so, when.

@Jeremy Nevermind. I saw your other post. As I said, I guess when you have information, you’ll post it then.

Booklady1017 · June 29, 2018, 5:38pm

I also reread the announcement and it seems we are only getting the larger text now, not the option to change the color and style.

Hi @Booklady1017. I’m sorry but the moderation team has nothing to do with the productivity of the app. We are in charge of the forums. Sorry we couldn’t be any more help with this but you might be able to submit a ticket to see if the support team has any additional info that we might not have. Thanks a bunch!

As far as I know, they are just slowly releasing it to the readers now (to the app), and when they will fix all bugs, then they will release it to the writers (to the writer portal) and then you will be able to choose the style of the speechbubbles in your story (read it somewhere on the forums, don’t remember where)

Using [YOU] in toasters and Speech Bubble Style Update

UPDATE: Speech Bubble Styles

We announced a few weeks ago that we were nearing the end of our Speech Bubble Style beta and since then we have been incorporating the testing feedback into the feature. As of today, 50% of readers are seeing the new speech bubble styles in the app. Once we roll out the tech to all readers, we’ll then start to roll out the feature to more authors as well. The main reason we’re coordinating the move in this way is because the most significant changes to the tech happened in our app. Plus, in order openly let you change your story’s speech bubble style, we also need to make sure that your readers can actually see (and enjoy!) those changes. We know it’s been a long time in the making, so thanks for continuing to be patient!

For writers, we are still looking into issues that were brought up during beta testing. Specifically, we want to make sure we are addressing concerns with the name badges so that they are easy to read but not intrusive in stories.

Stay tuned for more on this in upcoming updates!

As always, we’re excited to get these released to you and would love to hear your thoughts below

Is this out already, for the web previewer?

EliseC · June 29, 2018, 10:43pm

Looks like it’s out now. Or at least rolling out.
Just noticed this when I logged in.

Edit: Just noticed that they officially announced it

Booklady1017 · June 29, 2018, 11:52pm

No problem. I kind of figured out what is going on anyhow. I think. Thank you anyhow.

Booklady1017 · June 29, 2018, 11:52pm

Thank you. This was exactly the information I was looking for!!

Tessx · June 29, 2018, 11:53pm

No problem

Booklady1017 · June 29, 2018, 11:53pm

Thank you!!

I love them

EdwardNorton · July 11, 2018, 11:58pm

YES!!

Chichi95 · July 14, 2018, 6:24pm

Why I only have the new speech bubble but not the episode feed where you can interact with followers and Authors?!

Apes · July 14, 2018, 6:27pm

It’s not out to everyone yet

Chichi95 · July 14, 2018, 6:41pm

Oh how long you think it will take for everyone to get the episode feed?!

Booklady1017 · July 14, 2018, 7:40pm

I heard nothing about any updates for the feed. Are they still testing it?

Apes · July 14, 2018, 8:25pm

I have no idea, it’s still in a testing stage.

ioanna · July 15, 2018, 12:02pm

How large is the script?
