To start - I have absolutely no clue about what tech stack do you use at dynasty, or what infrastructure you have. I also believe you already tried it, but maybe for some areas like pairings, authors, where content is not changing very frequently, maybe you could just cache those requests? (assuming they're mostly GET - that wouldn't be very tricky I think)

Thank you for the suggestion! Part of the motivation for the database changes and some possible future changes are based around the use of more aggressive caching. Reducing the load of single requests, and reducing their burden after first access (with more caching) are, I imagine, the easiest ways of alleviating some of our fringe performance issues. I'm not the one to know all the details front-to-back, but I think we're on the same track here!

I can imagine you have to also deal with bits of tech debt before going forward, so best of luck with whole process. :D

When I had to deal with caching stuff I usually just opted into using managed Redis instance, or if cost was more important, some self-hosted Redis (usually as Docker container). Option that I used in my Bachelor's thesis to improve GET performance, was splitting data into read/write models and storing read model in something like Elasticsearch (in my case it was Azure Search, but they work similar in that use-case), but that was aaages ago.

But that are just my 2 cents on this topic, I guess your team will know better what will fit into your needs (inb4 you already have this and I'm just making a fool out of myself XD),

Is there a way to get notifications (emails) when someone replies to or quotes your comment? Also, what’s the best way to include a link to a comment when quoting someone on mobile?

Since Rivals is a tag since I don't-know-how-long, shouldn't these couples have it?

Eh, pairing tags usually aren't tagged themselves outside of the series/doujin they're from.

Regarding a Tummy tag, we do already have Navel Play but that's kind of a different thing, so maybe?

I understand that, but what about the posts of those pairings?

It would depend on the doujin/picture and whether them being rivals comes up at all. For example, most Gloria x Marnie wouldn't really fit the tag, but this picture does (which is why I added it just now).

I agree, and maybe just a notification on site (of course toggeable for those who dont want any).

Good day
When I tried to make a tag suggestion it doesn't appear on my suggestion status.
What's happening?

This isn't a very big thing but... I just noticed that Reading Lists are now in alphabetical order. Is there any chance of getting that back to chronological? The new order no longer really helps find things I can't remember the name of, which is 95% of my searches. I can generally remember roughly how long ago I've read something, so the old ordering was more convenient.

I feel Machikado Mazoku could also have the rivals tag.

You should probably amend this to ask for the option of chronological sorting. This is a change that quite a few people have asked for for quite awhile.

Another spammer.

Edit: no spam here yet, but this thread has several suspiciously-bot-lookin' posts.

I don't know if there are many instances of it in the site, but shared scarf could be a nice tag.

Edit: Since the Idol tag applies for voice actresses too, should it be added to chapters of Tae-chan and Jimiko-san which feature Itsuko Shibui?

Hi, I'm having an issue with my "To Read" list for some weeks now, probably that's the same bug described by majorawake a few posts ago.
The number of chapters it's always two more than the actual chapters in the list, even with an empty list the counter still marks 2.
I tried to fix it adding and removing the chapters I had in the list when the bug started, but with no luck.

Hmm... I wonder if you could have chapters previously added to your list that have since been removed from the site?

Will follow up on the rest tomorrow, but: if you've made a request and it's been delayed since last week, it should be fulfilled tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.

Looks like a spam or bot here: https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/topics/9125-isn-t-the-moon-beautiful-discussion?page=16 for user ID littlesixxx.

Also here, same user

Yeah, you're going to find them all over the place. Looks like litlesixxx spammed 22 of the same post:

If you want to scam someone, at least take some effort... How conspicious can you get.

Oh, the irony. A spam account posting copy/pastes in the forum where we notify the admins of spammers. Way to avoid notice there!

I dont understand, was this user you linked someone who replied to my previous comment with "hold my beer" and turned out to be a bot? If so, this would be quite amusing.

They might as well have. It was a spam user, and they had two posts (since deleted) right after yours that were straight up copies of posts further up the page. It's a bit like trying to stay inconspicuous by perching on the radar.

Virgin's Empire has tags designated to specific couples like Ai x Chie or Elisha x Honoka. Maybe Yuru Yuri should have the same thing since it's also about a bunch of different intertwining ships.
