Can you elaborate on that?

Huh, weird. Mine works.

It has been fixed.

Question: I'm just wondering if you've thought of changing the background color (which is white ATM) to a different color like gray, black or something that is of a dark colored tone.

That will be user specific and is in the works, it will be implemented soon.

That is news to me, I have no plans for that atm.

I could have sworn that background color in user preferences was on the "To do eventually if I have time and nothing else to do" list.

Bottom of the barrel doesn't mean in the works and soon.

Cat Ears And A Restroom And The Club Room After School

Note that four of the pages are out of order (in the original they were too). pgs 08 09 10 11 should be in the order 11 10 09 08.

What does the childification tag mean? And, just a thought, instead of lots of sex tag, moderate amounts of sex tag why don't we just flat out add a 'hentai' tag? Because, really, moderate amounts of sex? What comprises a moderate amounts of sex tag? Wouldn't it be subjective to say a manga has "moderate amounts of sex"?

EDIT: also, I suggest we oughta have a one-sided love tag. (E.g. A lollipop and a bullet)

-I also think there are lots of "useless" or non-sensical tags that should be removed.

1. Hair tag. Srsly, there's only one manga that has this tag.
2. Blushing tag. Almost ALL mangas and doujins have characters blushing. I think it's unnecessary.
3. Creepy tag. Isn't this synonymous to WTF am I reading? tag
4. Communism tag. Again, only one manga has this tag.
5. Feet tag. Really? Feet?
6. Zombies and Ghost tag. Synonymous to Supernatural Tag.
7. Wishful thinking tag. Lol, what is this even for?
8. Pegging tag.

There are more of these unnecessary tags, but I guess it's obvious what I'm implying; there are a lot of nonsensical tags that should just disappear.

To respond to your last post first...

Why het?

Essentially, the reader is for "yuri, Touhou, and whatever-the-heck-else anyone with uploading privileges wants to upload". If it's "good" or considered share-worthy, then there is always room for it on the reader.

What does the childification tag mean?

An adult character being turned into a child, whether by magics or for the purpose of telling a story (See: Mamange).

Sex tags

This one has been up in the air for a while..."moderate" is typically the way of saying "sex, but not exactly hentai". We'll improve this at some point.

EDIT: also, I suggest we oughta have a one-sided love tag. (E.g. A lollipop and a bullet)

Feel as though this could ultimately be a spoiler, but...I do to some degree agree.

1. Hair tag. Srsly, there's only one manga that has this tag.

shudder No. This tag is absolutely necessary as a warning/fetish.

1. Blushing tag. Almost ALL mangas and doujins have characters blushing. I think it's unnecessary.
2. Feet tag. Really? Feet?
3. Pegging tag.

Fetish, fetish, fetish. It's not like every manga gets the blushing tag. Only ones that have excessive levels of blushing.

1. Creepy tag. Isn't this synonymous to WTF am I reading? tag

No, actually. While they can fall into each other, there is quite a bit of separation between the two. See these two links for creepy, but not WTF-worthy, stories; http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_visionary_replay_of_homuhomu http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/yukkuri_balloon

1. Communism tag. Again, only one manga has this tag.

Well, we don't want to take ourselves too seriously...

1. Zombies and Ghost tag. Synonymous to Supernatural Tag.
2. Wishful thinking tag. Lol, what is this even for?

I suppose someone else could comment on these ones...

I guess it's obvious what I'm implying; there are a lot of nonsensical tags that should just disappear.

It's on the list of things to do. We'll really get there someday, probably.

Wishful thinking is similar to Dream Ending.
Something with plot inside imagination of a character.

Its to categorize on the amount/explicitness of sex contained. Having a 3-4 page sex scene at the end of the chapter is much different than a 20 page PWP of fully explicit sex. The difference between the two is subjective, but there is nothing wrong with that.

1. Hair tag. Srsly, there's only one manga that has this tag
2. Communism tag. Again, only one manga has this tag.

It is totally okay to have a tag that only applies to one chapter. The purpose of tags is to both describe the chapter and to find similar chapters.

1. Zombies and Ghost tag. Synonymous to Supernatural Tag.

Its for stories where Zombies or Ghosts are the only supernatural element, to be more descriptive about what it contains.

I also think there are lots of "useless" or non-sensical tags that should be removed

We're not running the New York Times, here. The tags are meant to be fun, descriptive, and help people find what they're looking for, and they do just that. If you find a tag which is terribly confusing or misleading, then there might be grounds for changing or removing it.

Blushing is very important.

1. Zombies and Ghost tag. Synonymous to Supernatural Tag.

Its for stories where Zombies or Ghosts are the only supernatural element, to be more descriptive about what it contains.

And seriously, since I cannot handle zombies for some reason, I appreciate that there might be some warning before getting some Walking Dead doujin or something.

I want to make suggestion about forum.
The thing is, I participate in a few forum, like commenting about the story and whatnot.
But overtime, I tend to forget whichever forum I've participate in and I think that it'll be sad if there's someone responding to my rants(maybe they're too bored or don't have any friend IRL).
So, can you make it so that we get notification on the posts we (post? that sounds like a joke.)submit?
Or maybe, put a list on our profile that we've participate on these forums? Like, "Forums you've participating in:"

Thank you for the explanation.

This one has been up in the air for a while..."moderate" is typically the way of saying "sex, but not exactly hentai". We'll improve this at some point.

Then how about a rating system similar to yuri-ism's. 1-5.

1. Hair tag. Srsly, there's only one manga that has this tag.

shudder No. This tag is absolutely necessary as a warning/fetish.

I just feel like this site will turn into a porn site if we add them tags like "oral", "big boobs", "flat-chested", "foot job", "scissoring", "creampie" <-- these are all fetishes. (With some exceptions, like oral is a type of sex, foot job, etc.)

1. Creepy tag. Isn't this synonymous to WTF am I reading? tag

No, actually. While they can fall into each other, there is quite a bit of separation between the two. See these two links for creepy, but not WTF-worthy, stories; http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_visionary_replay_of_homuhomu http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/yukkuri_balloon

Ah, so it has a certain degree of creepyness but is not worthy of the wtf am I reading tag. I see. So, again, I propose that we have a grading system for creepyness/weirdness of a manga/doujin.

1. Communism tag. Again, only one manga has this tag.

I never said there was something wrong with the two having differences, but I agree. It wouldn't count as hentai if only the last (or the beginning or the middle) four pages had sex scenes on it. Hey, since we have the dicks on page XX tag, why don't we add sex on the four last pages tag or sex on the last pages or better yet, moderate amounts of sex on the last four pages. I'm kidding.

I agree. I just thought that, it would be hard to classify/organize mangas if we create too many tags. I personally prefer more generalised tags like: yuri, romance, shoujo, shoujo-ai, supernatural, comedy, etc. but not blushing, abandonment issues, pregnant (seems like these tags are spoiling the plot or a part of the story to me). But of course, this is just my view point.

Its for stories where Zombies or Ghosts are the only supernatural element, to be more descriptive about what it contains.

Then there is no real purpose for the supernatural tag because, vampires, zombies, ghosts are all sub-categorization of the supernatural tag. If we are aiming for specificity, we have to make it straight to the point.

Splitting the stuff up into 5 different subcategories is not only a lot of work, but doesn't really add much to the searching. We already have a psuedo 1 (not tagged with sex), 2 (nsfw), 3 (moderate amounts of sex?) and 4/5 (lots of sex). The improving bit we're occasionally thinking of is helping the searching be more helpful. At the moment we need to shave down the two tags (either by renaming/re-purposing or whatever) into being more specific since right now they're really subjective for the uploader/tagger.

1. Hair tag. Srsly, there's only one manga that has this tag.

It's already an 18+ site. But we're not going to go that deep in tagging stuff. There's a reason these unique tags only have one or two stuff added to them (mostly for warning).

I don't feel that the amount of effort to do that would prove much usefulness. Maybe this would need to undergo the shaving we're attempting for moderate/lots of sex but it wouldn't be a high priority in comparison.

We're not aiming for too many tags either. Pregnant serves to be a warning for that LWB dj; it won't be attached to anything else (that'd be super rare as heck anyway without magic or science babies). Abandonment issues could possibly be removed. I would have to read/re-read the few things that are tagged with it to check whether it adds anything to a search in comparison with other stuff.

Then there is no real purpose for the supernatural tag because, vampires, zombies, ghosts are all sub-categorization of the supernatural tag. If we are aiming for specificity, we have to make it straight to the point.

Sometimes there's supernatural stuff without a sub-categorization like that. If someone wanted something out of the norm, they'd search supernatural. Separating the ones without the zombies and such from the "normal" pile seems more beneficial than not IMO.

What do you mean?

Means we're not trying to be wikipedia or exhentai and whatnot. Sometimes we'll make joke tags like tracing because we find it tickles our funny bones.

Tracing will never not be too soon.

Given this daily download cap, how about a 'download cart' that one can use to select multiple chapters, and possibly have the system zip them up into a single download (allow one or 2 a day maybe)? It's not fun having to wait to get the last chapter of a series because you downloaded the latest single chapter of another one earlier that day (as in, before several chapts of the new series were put up in a batch). And btw, what is the daily reset time in Eastern?

Nope. We are not a download site, we are not aiming to be a download site. You can find almost all of these chapters by Googleing for them. The downloading we offer is mainly for convenience for the few chapters you can't otherwise find.

It doesn't reset at any particular time, it just 8 in the past 24 hours.

In case it hasn't been suggested, what about a general prev/next button on the images? If you wanna just take a look at all (new) images after another you constantly have to go back to the overview site (which is nice, btw, good layout, tagging highlights).

Yea I want to do something like this, but haven't decided on the particulars yet. Since would also would like it be able to view one images with the same tag one after another.

Ah, yeah, that's probably a little more complex. I'd suggest a two part nav bar under the image then, with the second part basically holding a tag cloud spec:

(image)
<< < > >>
<< < (tags) > >>

The tags could then be added to the second part via a search field, pretty much like it's already done in the site wide search. Or dragged from the image. Basically it would be a dynamic list. I know it's probably a lot of coding, though, so feel free to ignore my suggestion. (Should not be necessary to say that, but I know how demanding "customers" can be ^_^)

Suggestion: how about adding a Like button or a favourite button for images. And then have a page where it will show all the photos that you've liked.

That is what the reading lists are for. There is a default Favorites reading list, or you can create your own custom ones.

Ah, I see. Thx.

Is there a way to upload stuff in a webcomic fashion? I've been typesetting a few 4koma series from pixiv with translations taken from danbooru and I find that they don't really have any place to go.
