Thanks for these. I have been fighting with a bad cold since last friday, so I haven't had a chance to put them in yet.

Really dislike this author's art style, totally unreadable for me.

On the series page, chapter 49 is sorted into April Fools instead of Volume 9.

Fixed

You can now select a time zone in your user profile, to convert displayed times to.

I did some digging.

The answer is yes, you are legally responsible to put one up or you are liable to be fined $50000 USD, imprisonment of up to but not more than 6 months, or both.

That website seems to be from 2000, something more current would be much more useful

Content providers should take steps to avoid providing such material to minors. One way to do this is to have a warning page where viewers must click on a statement certifying that they are over the age of 18 or 21 and will not hold the site responsible for violation of community standards. No court has yet decided whether this type of warning is sufficient.

According to itself, there is no evidence that a warning page does anything.

I didnt see a post for missing stuff- dont you normaly leave a 'footprint' when you remove something like if it got licenced?

Previously that wasn't the case, but we have one now (example)

This is from Rinne no Lagrange. Please change the series?

Yea, I just did. It has a character named Madoka in it as well, which probably caused the mix up.

You should probably put a disclaimer on the front page that some work on the site is 18+ or etc etc in your country, that should negate the legal responsibility that exists by hosting pornography.

Does that really negate any legal responsibility?

I always find those extremely annoying, and I have see many other porn websites that don't have them (e.g. e-hentai). So its very unlikely one will be added unless someone can give more definitive proof of it being required.

Blacklisting and whitelisting tags for the recently released and the recently added page (and their feeds), has been on my long list of features to add. I will probably give it a higher priority, so you should see it soon™

I also might add a feature so you can hide covers/thumbnails of items tagged with NSFW.

Um, can I request a messaging system too?
What I mean is can we have a a way to contact the staff?

This isn't going to be added, it was rarely used before. If you need to contact the staff you can find us on IRC at #dynasty-scans on irc.rizon.net

How is chapter linking (as in, where you go when you click "Next Ch.") handled? I just noticed that chapter 1 of I Want to Be Honest leads to chapter 4 of I Fell in Love for the First Time, because they're both from the Girl Sanctuary anthology. Obviously, it should lead to chapter 2 of I Want to Be Honest.

You can switch which one next chapter should go to with the dropdown in the top right. Though it probably should always default to series.

Throwing a suggestion (maybe it was suggested earlier so sorry for spam :P) - in the "Directory > Series" page (and on the author page, can't think of other where it would be useful) maybe you could add some way to filter the series by their current status - Completed/Ongoing/etc (in whatever way like filter by js code, or by font-size: completed - bold, ongoing normal, etc)?

I do plan to add filtering / more view options to the directory page.

One of the things i sort of long for now and then, would be a "Oneshot" tag, for individual one chapter stories in magazines and anthologies which aren't part of a continuing narrative, in any way shape or form. Since there are quite a lot more stand-alone stories that the Oneshot category (under anthologies) encompassess.

I don't really think this is a good idea. There are just too many one shot chapters (1187 atm) for this to be really useful. What I am thinking of doing is adding a "one shots" tab to the view tag page, which will show chapters with that tag but not a part of a series.

I have readded a button to "download page" in the top right toolbar. It seems that feature was used a lot more often then I initially thought.

are you still accepting new suggestions?

You can submit suggestions to http://dynasty-scans.com/requests

I added the ability to set a user as belonging to a scanlation group, so your group name will appear below your avatar.

I set it for the users I know of, if I am missing anyone please post in here.

Note: I tried to make a new thread, but apparently, my request was "invalid"

That is fixed now.

The Dynasty app on my iPod doesn't work. When I open the app I get an error.
"Network Connection Failed. Expected status code in (200-299), got 404"
I have no idea what this error means...
Does anyone else have this problem? Or can anyone help me solve this problem?
(I don't know if this belongs in this topic, but I can't create a new topic)

I need to re implement the JSON API the iOS app uses to communicate with the reader. Its been a low priority because of the low amount of users of the app.

Somehow "Recently Added" list shown on main page isn't synchronized - you need to go to "added" page to really see the latest additions. For example, right now it doesn't show latest Yandere Kanojo chapter.

This is done on purpose. The "recently added" on the homepage doesn't show items that are also on the recently released list.

And I would love to see return of "random" button, I'm not sure if it was widely used or not, but I liked it. I noticed it's on front page now, but refreshing front page for it fells kinda wrong.

I might add a link below the chapter for it. But what is wrong about refreshing the home page?

I that case, can I resubmit...this?

Updated, thanks.

Aletto, I am not really seeing what you are trying to improve by those changes. Is it that there are too many results on http://dynasty-scans.com/tags which makes it hard to browse tags?

All right, I just think that tags created for one specific series are kind of pointless, they should target describe a common trait of a group of series.

While for the most part that is what we are striving for, there will always be exceptions. Some chapters/series have something quite unique/different about them that is worth their own tag to inform the reader beforehand.

Oh and do you intend to do something about the pairings tags?

What do you think needs to be done about them?

Which leads me to another idea how to improve the reader. A lot of the series, let alone the chapters, don't have summaries. Maybe you should open a thread where motivated readers can post their suggestions. Or just copy it from mangaupdates.

This was always really an issue of having someone actually input all the descriptions. I implemented being able to suggest a description to the tag suggestion feature.

I plan to make more mobile improvements (including bringing the select box page navigation back). I just been busy on improvements on the backend, and minor bug fixes.

Even though I want as good mobile support as possible, it is always going to be a lower priority.

edit: I just noticed a bug. If you go to a series, the tags won't show up. They'll appear if you switch to another page (apart of the home page) and back to the series. This happens in the mobile site, I don't have access to PC right now.

I am not really sure what you are referring to, I see tags just fine on series pages. Could you take a screenshot of what you are trying to describe please.
