I think the real issue is that we don't have a dedicated forum moderator, to keep the peace and enforce some basic rules. We should probably look into finding one.

What do you think about separating entry in "Recently Added Chapters" into series and chapter part?
So that you can go to series page directly from "Recent".

For example, instead of Aiura ch15: Dream it would be Aiura ch15: Dream

I think it would cause more issues then it solves.

Can you guy allow to read all image in once time?
Ex: When I open a manga, I have loaded single image. It make me wait... can u create a mode that allow to load 1 image or 5 image or all image in manga?
Thank you for nice topic :)

Probably not. The issue with images loading slowly is there is just not enough out going bandwidth on the server. With this change more images would probably be loaded overall, from people who start reading a chapter and don't finish it. The only upside is you would be able to open the chapter in the background, and then come back to it a little bit later with no load times. Overall I think it will be a net negative for loading speed.

A most popular list is something on my To Do list.

We already have "Staff Recommendations". On the homepage their is a Featured Series/Chapters section, that has been personally selected by the staff and changes once a week.

I do find that type of feedback very useful and agree with some of the issue laid out, but I don't agree with your conclusion on how to fix it.

I think tucking it under the username dropdown will make it much harder for an average user to find. Will also prevent a unregistered from knowing that a "Lists" feature exists, even if they must register to find out what exactly it is.

I am not 100% happy with the current name of the navgation item, but I can't think of something better. Bookmarks is a bit more clear on what it is, but it also implies a narrower scope than what the functionality actually is.

You can already search for status tags. http://dynasty-scans.com/search?q=&with%5B%5D=3668 for example.

How about a subscription on a forum topic . Once you subscribe, whenever someone comments (or replies to your comments), you get notified.

Note: not notified through email but directly here in this website. A notifications center.

Maybe, but probably not. Would require adding a lot of extra functionality just for that. So would only be a part of a larger notifications overhaul, which I have no plans for atm.

On my list is to add a "Participated" filter to the forums. So you'll be able to show only topics you have posted in.

Don't use a download accelerator. They are purposefully not supported.

Be civil to each other, no reason to insult other people. Don't let it happen again, or you will lose forum posting priviledges.

Isn't really a priority atm, there are a bunch of things higher on my to do list.

If you think something deserves a tag that doesn't exist, post about it in this thread.

Is there going to be an upload interface specifically for image uploads?

The plan is to allow anyone to upload images, but each image will have to be approved by a moderator before they are displayed.

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.

That sounds like something that could go into the images section. When you are done you can submit an Upload Request for them.

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

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.

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.

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"?

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.

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.

"Suggestions status" is down

Can you elaborate on that?

It would be great with the ability to subscribe to tags in the image section(atleast "Doujin" and "Pairing" tags").

This is something I plan to add.

This site is default NSFW. You shouldn't be on here at work at all.

Yea, they are frequently extremely NSFW chapter covers on the home page.

Playing around with the images section, it might be nice to have the tags pop up when you hover the mouse over the thumbnail. Especially with the comics, it's not always clear what's going on.

Done.

Please consider a monthly batch torrent of all of the Yuri Manga that month. Because I can't read the Yuri Manga's I wan't to read because of my slow & limited Internet connection ;(

We have considered and talked about it before. My main issue is if there is enough interest in it. Since if we don't get a good amount of seeders, it would probably hurt our bandwidth overall.
