Next on the list...

• Fix watchlist to work with follow instead of watch (Part of how IPB gave me more work - while on the topic, reading tracker)

• Age Rating System

In no particular order...

The zooming thing doesn't work that well. I think it still shows the big image then you zoom in and it centers it instead of it extending all the way to the right.

[Uroboe]

those links are really fugly i hope they make them simpler, is it really necesary to know the realease number of the scanlation group and web?

[Grumpy]

Image preloading added. Yay to fast next pages!




Also @ uroboe, because Batoto allows much higher dynamics (multi-lang, multi-group, combination on a single chapter which may not even have a chapter or volume associated) in what can be hosted than most other online reader, the need for more information is inevitable. However, all that info is actually contained in the release number (which was added at a much later date compared to others to solve the mentioned dynamics), so it will eventually be made shorter.

[HereticWilson]

Well, I guess I don't have to post a thread asking for the Watchlist to show the last chapter read. Glad I checked here before making myself look like an ass with my first thread.

[jeezor]

I'm using Opera and the zoom pisses me off. I now have to press Z every time i change the page on some mangas because the downsized image is so blurry. Would it be possible to make it optional?

[Grumpy]

I'm using Opera too, but I don't see any problem with the zoom...
Can you be more specific as to where you're having these problems? What about your specifications like resolution?

[jeezor]

Pages like this one are slightly downsized and that makes them blurry. Reading manga on my laptop at 1280x800.

[Grumpy]

Just added google custom search to homepage.
I realize that the forum's built in search really sucks... In the meanwhile of building something awesome for search, google custom search will have to do.

[HereticWilson]

Wasn't the ability to keep track of the last chapter read of a comic on your watchlist on that list up there?

[Grumpy]

I think you're referring to the watchlist which keeps track fo newest chapters for select comics. It has been implemented, though, will change due to IPB3.2 changes.

[Yu Han Sung]

Will it be possible for us to keep track of all the series and oneshots we've uploaded?

This is getting a bit out of hand for me.... I don't even remember what I uploaded anymore.

[Loki]

yeah , i think list with everyone that has more than 20 uploads or something similiar to avoid ppl that upload 1,2 things and dissapear into nothingness , would be pretty nice implementation

[aku720]

i agree, we should have an option to keep a track of all the materiel we uploaded
an option which should be available at our profile pages like this

S.NO COMIC(NAME) VOLUME/CHAPTER DATE/TIME ........etc
1. ......................
2. ......................

something like this will be better
this way we can check the quality and quantity of work done by the up-loader as well

I'm referring to something like a bookmarking system, where you can mark where you left off when reading a title, to resume at a later date.

[Aboutblank]

How about a way to hide uploads from groups that you don't like/hiding certain manga.

Example:
I don't like Red Hawk so I can choose to hide all uploads from them from the main page.
or
I don't like Bleach so I can hide updates of that specific manga.

[Yu Han Sung]

I'd like to add onto AboutBlank's suggestion and expand it to allow people to filter certain demographics or genres. Some people don't want to see any yaoi or yuri or shounen-ai or shoujo-ai on the site. Or even shounen or seinen... or shoujo or josei and so on. Or mystery or fantasy or yadda yadda yadda...

And most importantly? To allow people to filter matured content. Saying this 'cos even shoujo or shounen can have matured content(Shinjo Mayu in particular, comes to mind). And there are some who do not want to see such titles.
