Change Group Delay Chapter to MangaPlus Chapter

[overlord555]

Would be great if can change Group delayed chapter to MangaPlus like chapter

Pros:
1. Chapter will directly link to the Groups site manga chapter .
2. Chapter will show up in mangadex.org/updates (currently we can't see there's new chapter if group put delay).

I imagine many people would still prefer to read their mangoes on the MD site itself (less chance of ads/spyware, for instance).
Besides, some groups already offer readers to choice to skip the wait time by reading it on their site/discord.

@AbyssalMonkey this suggestion for those groups who's on MD (Group Delay chapters should be available only for groups on MD right??)

currently all the delayed chapters are like this

and it wont show up in Follows and Latest Update
and when u clicked, it will show like this

it would be great if the behaviour is like MangaPlus chapter which is

MangaPlus chapters can be what they are because they're added by staff or by automated processes created by staff.

Now, perhaps this is just me, but it actually doesn't seem like a good idea for, in some cases, any user to be able to upload a delayed chapter and put any link they wanted there, to be clicked by hundreds upon hundreds of sweaty desperate people who want to read the chapter immediately.

@MrIncognito true, there's posibility for that
i think MD Devs can do it to only accept link from same domain as the group sites, so it wont be some troll/virus/whatever site.

The reason we don't link to group sites directly is because it will be a massive administrative burden to make sure that those links aren't dead in the long term. It is highly unlikely that M+ would die (plus they are also a free official source), which is why we only link to them.

 

[overlord555]

this shouldn't be a problem because the link only show till Group's Delay policy end.
After the group's delay policy end, just make it as normal chapter.

my suggestion is only for Group Delay Chapter. not set all chapter linking to group sites.

I guess adding a choice to get delayed chapters in your updates feed is what you mean

 

[overlord555]

correct, but that's just one of the suggestion.

the other one is directly linking delayed chapter to group website chapter.
