I came across a video that does very good to explain Jpeg compression. Stick to the end. Very important. Because @ 5:40 why PNG is best for Mangadex manga and all the rest explains Jpeg is best for high color. https://youtu.be/Ba89cI9eIg8

This series has become a one trick pony. Very sad.

Short pic segments are to say the least "bad". Stick to the long strip format. Top and bottom bubble cut offs and white space inter-segments distract greatly. Even under long strip format. I would have to zoom and scroll to read. Which in my opinion is a hassle but better than what is being...

@pika optipng goes from 2 to 7. 3 is prob where pnggauntlet ends at. 2 just get rid of extras and reduces the color tables. Just doing 2 would benefit. I go to 5, to rid of the slightly off colors. Easily said by a color 255-255-255 all white and 255-255-254 slightly off white. Merging...

@Harem_Sovereign Some translator groups got into an argument with Mangadex took there ball and went home. Don't know all the inside details, don't care. Mangadex is not useless. Want Solo leveling so bad. Go to the translator site and use the download button. Yes the site has a download...

@pika I tried pnggauntlet didn't do as well as optipng. Plus it took longer. Another benefit optipng does not change the timestamp of the files. Good for when I rsync elsewhere. @shouldsleep It's up to the poster/translators to weigh in the factors with type of container and sizing. Nobody...

Not a PSA. It's something every good webpage designer does before publishing the contents. Using the media program to do the conversion is slow and tedious. Even in batches you must decide on what loss level you want. Then everything get throw down that rabbit hole. Everything I described...

Chapter 26 of "12 beast" went POOF today (9/28/19) twice! Does not forebode well. Edit: Someone keeps uploading licensed content. Of course it will disappear. Still does not bode well.

The last posts by: Heart and Feather scanlations Was 1 Year and 2 Years ago. The group is good as dead. Chapter 26 POOF, is likely from licensing issues. Or somebody doesn't like Okayado.

By nature PNG media files are squeezed out and compressed. For low color count aka: Mangadex media files are sometimes needlessly large. I will provide some links to Windows based tools. Mac tools exist too. If you have vivid color PNG's. Unless you need the portability of PNG stick to JPG...

Maybe I am missing it, or not. Is there a way to get an RSS feed notify when I get @ Tagged in a forum ? The notify being like main page notification with a link to the forum thread. Every start and 15 minutes later I can see a RSS feed change. Would be nice on nothing to normally report by...

General message: The human eye is much like the ear. The eye can not distinguish as many colors as you might think. If fact there are colors which the eye can not detect. It's only the brain that has been trained to see a color. I think the color was Yellow or was it Pink. The Rods and...

@Avgvstvs Missing the point. There are so many variables it's not funny. The type of encoder does not matter. PNG can be lossy and JPG can be lossless. The X axis and Y axis is the same for all containers. What matters the most is the Z axis (colors). The encoding standard for PNG is...

To whoever is redoing the series. Since you say you don't care about JB's translations. So what. Do care about this. PNG is a bad format for COLOR. The files grow larger because of it. PNG is great format for BLACK and White (2 color). It will compact smaller than JPG any day or time...

@Teasday What ever made it work, happen on the board. Firefox even tho was recently updated to V69. Would not explain why my raspberry pi FF works now too. The PI version of FF has not changed for a long time. It's still V59esr. I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I will take...

@AbyssalMonkey @Samhill Test it out, looks like this bug got fixed. The search box is still a problem. One down, one to go.

Must be writers block. Doesn't know how to end this train wreck. Just pumps out more fanservice. This series had a good premise, good story. And then went to crap. I expect 24/7/365 fanservice from Highschool DXD, not this.

@Samhill Just refresh the page it's faster. And it works like normal until you go astray.

Little more info. FF V69 came out. No change. Info: From new stuff chapter release page. If I click Mangadex homepage Icon and browser back problem is not present.

@blackyawgdom Thanks for that vivid reminder of last 4/1. That day is seared into my brain cells.
