This is quite minor, but the ptr bar color is stuck on gray/white, and won't turn to the color I prefixed for it. What might be causing it, and how can I fix it?

Check it again, it isn't grey/white anymore.

The reason why the PTR bar is grey/white instead of whatever color you've preset is simple: you haven't updated the chapters/volumes so as to allow it to have said preset color (that is, of course, if you have even started reading said manga), so...

That seems a bit confusing to me...so the ptr color won't show up unless I start reading it? Isn't that a bit redundant?

Correct.

Nope.

If you plan to watch an anime and/or read a manga, why would the PTW/PTR bars on your "Last Anime Updates/Last Manga Updates" sections on your profile have color when you haven't started watching said anime and/or started reading said manga yet?

You need to start updating said anime/manga details for the color to take effect. It's as simple as that, really.

The bar underneath whatever anime or manga title is meant to show your progress for that series. If you set the series as PTR, you haven't read a single chapter yet, hence your progress is zero. Therefore, there will be no colour for the title in "last manga updates".

I'd also like to add that if you set a series as "currently reading" but haven't clicked on +1 chapter/volume, there will be no colour either. The reasoning, of course, is that although you are technically "reading" it, you still haven't made any progress, so the site will treat that scenario the same as if you had it on PTR.

@RedKitten13 & @!MysteriousAura Thanks for the explanations! It makes more sense now.
