    More Amazon Anime and Manga bans. Japan now very worried.

    A quick glance over the YenPress and JNovelClub LN titles Amazon US has banned so far, suggests they are targeting those which have nudity of young girls in the color illustrations (often available in free previews). This is just an assumption, from checking the LN previews of No Game No Life...

    Improvements to data saver option, servers and recruitment for a dev to work on...

    The situation is pretty bad for uncached old chapters. Most things a few months old have been downloading at less than dial-up speeds from NA, or sometimes throwing server errors. Popular cached content always seems to load quickly by comparison, sometimes instantly. A direct implementation of...

    New servers and file optimisation request!

    The recommendation to use Save for Web (PNG8) is generally bad, since it will produce an Indexed PNG which is only 99.6% lossless, not to mention some viewer software scales it horribly. Reducing colors below 256 with Indexed PNG also has a tendency to murder screentones and create horrible...

    "The more you preach [piracy], the more Japanese artists lose faith in the foreign market."

    For context, the tweet is implicitly referring to people being upset by the mass takedowns by Fakku publisher Irodori which releases uncensored h-doujins in English. It's likely similar to the past when people were upset about everything published by Wani being DCMA. So while the subject on...

    Scanlators! Optimize your PNG's to losslessly decrease file size before uploading!

    For Windows/Linux, pingo/pinga (the successor to ScriptPNG) set to Lossless(Web) Extreme is what I'd recommend if looking for a modern multi-threaded option. It losslessly optimizes colorspace (RGB to Grayscale if no color, remove Alpha if empty, strips metadata if desired) and offers...

    Downscaled images are blurred in Chromium-based browsers

    Does the same thing happen with a different GPU settings chosen in chrome://flags? It's also possible it could be related to DPI or Device Scale Factor if not using 1:1. When I test this on Windows 7, Chrome 81.0.4044.129 is softer than Firefox but nowhere near the level of your screenshots...

    I can't click setting, menu bar, etc

    I can confirm. After clearing my browser cache, now both www.mangadex.org and mangadex.org seem ok. Dropdowns, Toggles, Settings all seem normal from testing so far. And I'm not seeing any more of those "SyntaxError: illegal character" on js files or the Unclosed String issue on the CSS in web...

    I can't click setting, menu bar, etc

    Yes, as stated by Teasday the other thread old outdated browsers or otherwise those without modern full-featured js engines are the primary source of this issue. The version of Firefox I always use for compatibility testing websites is 45.9.0 ESR which is 4 years old at this point, and I don't...

    I can't click setting, menu bar, etc

    Similar to TimothySue's image, the setting cog overlay on main page and www.mangadex.org/settings are non-functional and look strange in old Firefox.

    I can't click setting, menu bar, etc

    https://mangadex.org both are broken. SyntaxError: illegal character popper.min.js:1:1 SyntaxError: illegal character bootstrap.min.js:1:0 SyntaxError: illegal character bootstrap-select.min.js:1:0 https://www.mangadex.org seems to fix the dropdowns (bootstrap.min.js &...

    Still broken here.

    I can't click setting, menu bar, etc

    As mentioned in the other thread, in terms of old Firefox this was broken yesterday, was fully working at around 6AM PDT this morning, but checking now this afternoon it's broken again. Seems to also be a similar experience as the person in this thread. Comparing the Firefox web console in...

    Bugs causing missing elements:fixed:

    Dropdowns (top of main page Manga/Follows/Community/Info/Settings/Username, reader settings button on legacy reader, All/Follows 6hr/24hr/7d Follows/Rating Forums/Manga toggles on main page, and many other buttons in various places) also stopped working today in old Firefox. Clicking them does...

    You'll never believe what happens if...

    I generally only click those retail jp store links if I was looking for cover images, ebook samples, or the release dates of tankoubons if they were being scanlated. I'd assume official raw links when available get significantly more click traffic, since they are more relevant to MangaDex readers.

    Method to Verify Original Images were Uploaded to MangaDex

    One way to assist doing this would be to show the Chapter File Size (combined size of all images) on manga title pages, as a way to more easily identify and report when a chapter is uploaded to MangaDex at reduced quality. Not really much of a problem for normal manga primarily uploaded by the...
