On Opera 11, the "Toggle Resize" button in fullscreen mode doesn't work.
(The reason seems to be that image.naturalWidth/Height is undefined.)

Will get someone to look into it.

Is there anyway to go from Fullscreen back to normal view?

There's a circled X button in the upper-right area of the page that will take you out of full-screen.

We do not have the raws for the first chapter (TEA-scans did the first chapter), so we're unable to check on the translation.

Forgot coffee. Derp.

Sorry about that, they should be fine now.

You heard wrong.

It's just the "rush-hour" invasion that we (used to?) worry about, not the average re-reads/checkouts.

And I'll attempt to finish off the banner voting process over the weekend (saying it here so that I can shame myself into not forgetting >_>)

Edit: I didn't feel like making an entire new post so I'll put it here.
Since I upload nearly 95% of the ongoing stuff on the reader now, my new personal policy has become semi-official.
We will wait at least 24-hours before uploading another group's releases onto our reader in order to encourage readers to visit their site/forums/IRC and show their support.
Side effects of this policy include potentially lower impact on our reader's server (although it has been upgraded, so the impact may be minimal), and covering my ass when I upload things late :D
This may be subject to change whenever we please. After all, it's self-imposed.

Edit Edit: To clarify, this only really applies to me. If someone else uploads something, I'm not going to stop them. This most notably applies to Lililicious, since they have access to uploading their stuff onto the reader. But for most of everything else, expect the 24-hour (or more :P) delay.

Romance wins!
Because when someone gets into a relationship, it immediately means the ENTIRE SERIES IS ROMANCE RIGHT!?

Still some more cloggage.
Hopefully we can clear the clog away soon...ish.
Sorry for the wait AE!

Couldn't find a way to stop the glass on my glasses from reflecting the laptop since I don't have an actual camera.

When you say you need editors, what specifically would this group's editors need to do? In different groups, editors' job and skills vary so I just want to be clear if I ever were to apply.

For us, editors typically both clean and typeset the pages, it is very uncommon for one to only clean and another to only typeset (although this has happened before).
The editor can optionally proofread the text he/she typesets if his/her English is fluent enough, but they do not Quality Check their own work.

We're an IRC heavy group, but we can communicate through other means if needed.
Feel free to ask questions or for tips on the forums or the IRC.

Oh boy, we seem never do this (or used to, anyway >_>).
Got several things in the chute for our surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly) slow process that is quality checking (thank an aussie and a dictator for that).
We'll try to not let this month slip by with just the petty crumbs that is Sasameki Koto.

As for the banner contest, we have not (completely) forgotten about it.
Still trying to decide a clear-cut winner, as ties keep happening after the votes are tallied up, which is always hard to solve without trying to gather more votes (which give us more ties, hooray).
If the voting process continues to be at a standstill, you may see a change in the poll (which is currently really old) asking YOU to help.
This may not happen (and hopefully doesn't have to), but it's an option we're considering.

And lastly, we need editors.
Unless you're fine with the pace that we're currently chugging at, more editors who are very willing to learn (and not run away after a short time period) will help increase our release speeds.
...Although, that applies to most groups out there, too.

In other news, I'm completely dominating the front page~

Haven't heard anything from Casusby about this yet, not sure which of the staff members you sent it though.
At the very least, send it to me (mrengenious@gmail.com) and I can pester him with it.

This is the first time I am hearing the word vocaloid. I really wonder what it means. Today I searched on the internet but couldn't find the exact meaning of it. I hope that someone will help me by providing information in this regard. Regarding the link provided by MrEngenious (the spelling seems rather strange) I am sorry to say that I couldn't follow what is written. I think it is Japanese.

The term "vocaloid" typically refers to the voice synthesizer programs from Japan like Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka that have had quite a bit of popularity and fanwork. I'd say it's similar to the "touhou" series in that there has been very little story/basis for most of the fanwork that is out there today.

...and I suggest you use a better search engine (I suggest Google) since Googling "vocaloid" provides a first page that adequately informs you both with links to the technical program (thanks to Wikipedia) and images and youtube links to the actual programs themselves.

And yes, Pixiv is in Japanese. The hypertext links, however, are in English. If you hover your mouse over the links you should see the hyperlinks in English in the status bar of your browser (my browser shows it in the bottom-left). It's not going to be the most fun way of navigating, but it's doable.
If you're using Firefox, install the greasemonkey extension and you can use the developing Pixiv translation script for easier navigation instead: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/65644

Well that fits amazingly well.

The pinwheel may be referring to the Mac OSX spinning wait cursor when the system is not responding.

Page 9 will have to be fixed later because I derped when I should've herped.

Edit: Fixed.

It comes from one of the comics made by http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=174190
I highly suggest you favorite/bookmark this guy (hopefully you have a pixiv account) since he's been doing this for YEARS and is STILL GOING to this day.
Hundreds of 4-komas about the major vocaloids in a make-believe world.
If the Pixiv layout confuses you (even confuses me now since they changed a buncha stuff), the links are in English, so you can hover over them all to see the link and navigate that way.

You'll realize how important it is to read ALL of the news once you hit the age of adulthood.

So.... who won anyways?

Won't know until our almighty Kim Jong Il dictator gets to doing stuff.

The first chapter was done by Endless-Abyss, not Kawaii-Scans.

Edit: First chapter now up.
