Thank you, I'll take care of them shortly!

All's well, you have a good weekend too.

I will simply repeat my previous conclusion. Different users are interested in different discussions. If a user does not see merit in a given discussion being had, they would do better to avoid it rather than engaging in unproductive behaviours like mockery or dismissal. This particular thread covers a vast range of topics related to the manga, surely there's no need to lament one small conversation taking place within it.

I came here hoping to find discussions about the place we're at in the story, but once again I find only discourse... why can't we have a normal comments section...

Hi. You can actually find a great deal of discussion of chapter 18, starting back here, and more of it is always welcome. The "discourse" takes up perhaps 1 page out of 6, by my count.

Would it be possible to tidy up the volume/chapter numbers for Ohana Holoholo?

Following MD the volume chapters are:
Vol 3: 13-19
Vol 4: 20-26
Vol 5: 27-33

And for those that are interested the volume covers can be found here:

Yeah, thanks. I'll add the covers later on!

I don't know if I need to provide more detail/specify pages and specific fixes? Still figuring out the process here. Will provide more detail if needed. Thanks in advance.

Sorry to pipe up again, it's been almost a week so I'm figuring my post probably got looked over due to the discussion that started right after?
I've been looking through the chapters for the series I translated that are on here to find stuff that's been changed/fixed. Besides these I have some chapters for Yuugai Shitei Doukyuusei as well, but I still don't know if more detail is required or just saying the chapter needs it is enough.

You're perfectly correct, yes. Thanks so much! You've provided all the info we need, and I'll update these presently.

Edit: They've been updated. As Dynasty uses rather aggressive caching, a previous reader would need to clear their browser's cache to see the changes applied.

nobody is preventing anyone from discussing anything they want in any way they want.

If you feel I made this claim directly or by implication, I'm happy to correct the misunderstanding. Myself aside, no individual participating in this conversation is capable of preventing any other poster from posting whatever they please. Though, given that you brought it up, I will add that it is entirely possible to dissuade other posters from participating by engaging in undue aggression, ridicule, or more direct pleading.

Some people think discussions are most fruitful when the commenters engage with the story itself rather than if the story or characters were something else

Sure. I'll ask again, more simply. Who is engaging with this manga "as if the story or characters were something else," and where? Barring any attempt at specificity, I fail to see how voicing personal frustrations about generalized "Dynasty readers" ("dynasty forum members," "people," "some user's," etc.) amounts to fruitful discussion of the story, either.

I'm currently left with the impression that if particular comments are not considered fruitful enough for a given poster, that poster could avoid engaging with them, and instead focus attention on the comments that better meet their standards.

Cogito posted:

At certain points the arguments in this thread have been less about the manga and more about a moral disagreement tangentially related to the manga.

And yet, the tangent suggesting other posters are not discussing manga correctly has unsurprisingly much less to do with this manga than the posts being vaguely referenced.

Stories can be a great way to approach real-world issues. But to do that, you need to first understand the story on its own terms (otherwise you're not actually talking about the story at all), and it's that first step that's often missing.

Who determines what it means to "understand the story on its own terms"? I'd challenge you, or anyone taking issue with this discussion, to explain where Uranusandetc or flowsthead have committed wrongs in their character interpretations, with a lack of story understanding in mind. Failing that, I'm really not sure what value such meta discussion brings to this thread.

So I've been trying to post my thoughts on the latest Whispering You a Love Song chapter in that forum, but my post gets blocked as spam. How do I stop this from happening?

Should be fixed for you now. Please let me know if you have any further issues.

Masatsuka sensei (mangaka of this series) has recently lost their income due to depression while suffering from stress-induced deafness, and has been struggling financially for the past year and a half: https://www.reddit.com/r/yuri_manga/comments/wu5trs/masatsuka_sensei_of_hikizan_tautology_has/

E-mail may be broken again, I haven't recieved an e-mail for months, and I have specific Gmail rules to make sure it's not marked spam.

I wish there was a way to see the latest of subscribed stuff here so I could at least catch up. I have no idea what has new stuff and what doesn't.

Want to bump this as it probably got buried after the tag derailment.

I definately would like a page to see subscribed chapter somewhere since E-mails continue to fail which means I'm missing out on uipdates to series I really enjoy.

Thank you. I'm sorry to say the issues have been ongoing. Please continue to monitor this thread in the next few weeks, I'll post an update as soon as I have one.

Lepancho24 posted:

Hey, so, I don't know if this has been suggested already but i was wondering if a "cascade" display option for the pages of a chapter could be added.
I have mainly 2 reasons to be suggesting this:
1) I, personally and probably other people too, am used to reading manga online in this format, for easy navigation since you can use the mouse wheel (or 2 finger on a notebook) to get across the whole chapter with ease (also i do a lot of backtracking when reading one chapter)

2) In my opinion, it works best for loading pages. If i am not mistaken, the site currently loads the page you are at and the next page, but it won't load a second extra page. I think this is probably for optimization of resources or something like that (i don't know a lot of websites and stuff) but when it comes to having a weak internet, as i do, it can sometimes become inconvinient since you have to read 2 pages and wait until other 2 load while you do other stuff (yes it gets that bad) and you don't have the option of leaving the site loading the whole chapter.

This is a small suggestion since there are alternatives, like downloading the chapter, and i don't actually have a sense of how difficult this is to implement or what consequences it might have on the site performance, which works just fine already.

So yeah, this is just a little quality of life thing and wanted to talk about it a bit i guess. Thanks for reading.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. It's a welcome one, but I can't share any news or plans to have it added to the site (for now). All hope isn't lost, though! I'll paste from the plugins thread an alternative route you can use for the time being. Happy to help if you run into any issues using it!

Dynasty Scans Preload + Long Strip (author: Nobody)

Last Updated: December 26th, 2021

Overview:

I got annoyed by page load times recently and, being an engineer, spent a few hours making something to save a few minutes. I present: a bookmarklet that preloads an entire chapter. Just navigate to any page of a chapter, run the bookmarklet, and the single page shown in the reader will be replaced by a vertical scroll of every page in the chapter. (As a happy accident, this also stitches together longstrips.) Feel free to use and modify it as you please; also feel free to ask me questions, give me feedback, or let me know of any bugs you find.

How to use:

Create a bookmark, but where you would normally put a URL, instead put the "formatting-stripped bookmarklet URL" from below. Then, while on any page of any chapter on Dynasty, click the bookmark. Instead of navigating to a page, your browser will run the code you copied into the URL field.

When things go wrong:

-It will fail to load pages with a different page-to-filename relationship than the current one. For example, if the current page is "001" and "page001.png", it will fail to load a page of "credits" and "credits.png", as it will instead expect "pagecredits.png". (It will, however, try a few different file formats, so "1.png" and "2.jpg" will still work.)
-If Dynasty is in the middle of switching pages (you see "Loading..."), wait until it finishes. Running both scripts simultaneously may cause incorrect results.
-Any pages that fail to load will be displayed as text, so you can navigate to them normally in a different tab.
-Since all pages are loaded in parallel, it's possible for some pages to load completely before others even get sizing info. This can potentially cause page N and page N+2 to appear adjacent, visibly skipping page N+1 until it loads. Waiting until all visible pages are done loading makes it unlikely for this scenario to occur.

Mod Note

The pedophilia / lolicon conversation is over. The only posters allowed to participate from here on are myself, OrangePekoe, and Roodypatooti. All other comments on the topic from here on will be removed from this thread, repeat offenders will be removed from the forum. Thanks.

DumShork posted:

This is not okay - https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/posts/803316

DumShork, thank you, I agree. They've been banned.

Roodypatooti posted:

This is not okay - https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/posts/803316

How is anything this person said incorrect though?Please, explain it to me.

A decision to allow Lolicon material was made long before the rules were. That decision is not going to change. The rules are concerned with encouraging constructive discussion and reducing conflict. As such, I don't see any benefit to allowing or encouraging users to have this discussion, which inevitably spirals into offense and indignation. For this comment in particular, I'd highlight the following:

CallieWallie posted:

This manga brings me nothing but disgust and disdain. It's a story revolving around an adult being attracted to a 10 year old, but it's loosely "justified" for some reason because she has the big booba. It's just as bullshit as the "I'm actually 3000 years old I just look like a child" excuse. You're all pedophiles. Adults being attracted to 10 year olds is fucked no matter how they look.

The user in question, CallieWallie, had already made a comment on this specific manga a year ago. They could've stopped when it brought them such disgust and disdain the first time. By not doing so, they violated Rule 10*, and made a post that declares to any passerby that they are "all pedophiles." I don't know how to frame this more concisely: the post is bait. Intended as such or not, it will inevitably bring the same offense and indignation that has been played out here hundreds or thousands of times before. It's not useful discussion, so such posts are not allowed.

If you wish to discuss the rules here with me, right here, you're welcome to. Otherwise, I'll expect you to refrain from having this discussion in this manner in the future.

(*Rule 10:

Tags are meant to inform users so that they may interact with works that appeal to them, and avoid those which do not. Avoid making repetitive comments on works with tags you wish to avoid. Repeat offenders may be disciplined as necessary. This rule also applies to pairing tags. Do not engage in "shipping wars" in doujin threads or image comments.)

CallieWallie, banned for a month. Next time will be permanent. In the future, you're welcome to avoid interacting with work that offends you. Thank you, take care.

This is great

I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct place to do this, but wanted to report an error.

There are 15 chapters (10 to 24) of Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku that are incorrectly marked as having been done by this group. I'm the guy behind that group, so I can attest it was for sure not me, a Mangadex user known as Furuishi did those.

edit: Also noticing that chapters 59, 60 and 61 are repeated. The second set seems more up to date.

Hey, thanks so much! Have fixed those issues now.

Bro. I need some pairing tags for this this manga like how they do it with Fuzoroi no Renri. Make it easy to locate my favorite pairings at the moment like this one

Given the scanlator's last opinion on it, I don't expect that to happen now or in the future. My apologies for the inconvenience.

However, their webpage has a very nice character filter. Just go to School Zone > Chapters > Filter by Character and you can search very freely by character.

Enjoyed my stay here. Good luck to the staff, scanlators and readers on Dysnasty!
Please delete my account and thank you.

Thanks, take care.

They both look so lonely on the last page...

Ok yeah that is pretty cool but imagine how awkward it would’ve been had she missed

That would have been a 200% better outcome; the awkward moment where you know she's for once deliberately tried to impress and then couldn't. Would have indubitably be fiendishly cute.

Wow that's so genius. I'd love to see a similar subversion in the near future.

Dynasty Scans First Page Viewer (Extension for Chrome) (author: Tosiaki)

Last Updated: December 16, 2021

Firefox is not currently supported.

This allows the the first page to be shown upon hovering over a chapter on Dynasty Scans and adds a grid view that shows each chapter with its first page.
