I am unable to read this last group of chapters.  It seems the scanlator has tried some experimental method of getting the pages to load quicker and its not working at all for me.  All I get is an all white page with a gear-like thing in the middle and the scanlator's logo down at the bottom.  I am using Google Chrome.  Would another browser work better?  Please help!

I haven't had problems with it,and i'm with chrome too, you just gotta wait for a while and the image will load, at least in my case.

maybe you have slow internet conection? any way good luck~!

It's not a method to load quicker. It's a method to hinder their releases getting stolen by sites without permission, and removing the credits pages.

 

They put each page in a gif with several frames. And the actual page is one of those frames.

 

When sites try to load those images through their compressors processes to turn them into low quality jpeg files, they will read only the first frame, and get a gear image instead the page.

 

Not only doesn't really work, as those sites will simply adapt and either manualy take the images with a program able to edit gifs or use a batch image processor to split the gifts and then pick the ones they want, it has a rather annoying side-effects for some people. For example: In many image viewers, arrow up and down that people would normally use to scroll down when viewing files from their computer will change to the next image when the image is an animated gif. Making reading after downloading from their site quite tedious as they have to either find a viewer that doesn't do that, or read zoomed out. And in some networks, huge gif files are screened, and given reduced bandwith as those are mostly used for memes and ads and are given little priority. It doesn't help when they have increased sizes because of lack of compression or optimization.

 

If you are under one of such networks, and I don't know of any way to test that, there's nothing you can do. If you keep having this problem from Batoto, you may want to go directly to the source and get their releases from there.
 

 

There's nothing that can be done from here, as Batoto simply distributes releases people put here.

 

If you have isses with the releases themselves, the only thing you can do is go to their site and try to reason with them.

If this weren't so close to ending, I'd have given up on reading it on Batoto with this 'feature'. If they release anything else I read...well, I'll wait until someone figures out how to rip them off and read it elsewhere without the headache.

Yes, unfortunately I am on a slow connection.  Unless someone comes up with a way to fix this issue I will never get to read the last 5 chapters.  I have tried Chrome and FireFox, neither seems to be able to get me to the real content.  I just get a mostly white page with a gear-like thing in the middle and the Kisu-Kissmanga logo at the bottom.  I have tried to access their website but I just sit and wait until my patience wears out!  It must be really busy or they are on very slow servers!  All this is very annoying...
