Sometimes, the translation of different series titles in English end up similar (if not completely identical), which can lead to misunderstanding. Example1: "Their Story" is both the title of this: https://mangadex.org/title/62383/their-story and an English version of the title of this...

Hi! The upload with links from Gdrive is convenient when the direct upload fails. However, when there's something to fix in a chapter and one needs to to edit the chapter to upload a new version, the edit form only proposes the direct upload option. I suggest the feature to upload with links...

Hi! When the servers are under heavy load, users get a page with an error 502 message, so some users keep trying to refresh the pages, and of course it doesn't solve the whole overload thing. That's why I suggest a strategy to make users stop trying to refresh the page excessively: make the...

Hi! Usual internet transmission protocols aren't extremely suited to carry big files (typically HD manga pages) through instable networks (typically mine, but I'm not the only one in this case). Pages load slowly, or fail even loading because of timeouts. Of course, we have the "compressed...

I have a bad internet connection, so sometimes, half of the chapter doesn't load and I have to refresh the web page, which reloads all the images from the start, defeating my internet connection again. With most manga, one can load pages in "single page" mode so that's kind of a workaround, but...

I'm currently re-translating a chapter from a manga, where a schoolgirl shows about two dozens of cigarette burns on her thighs and explains she was raped by her own father. Visually, we only see the scars. The torture + rape scene is only recounted. Yet, I think this is not appropriate for...

@anoyo Why in the footer of the page?

How about a virtual scanlation currency? Not a real one, of course, it would be mostly a cosmetics to show off. For example, for every month of membership on MD and for every uploaded chapter, people and groups would earn 1 point of virtual currency. And people could offer a reward in that fake...

Ecchi series can be good as a series, or just as mere ecchi stuff. So, depending on what the readers want to read, the current rating doesn't tell them if a series has a high rating because it's an overall excellent series (good art, good story, etc) with a few suggestive stuff, or a crappy...

From what I could read on the web, the Internet Archive is threatened by a massive lawsuit: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/06/publishers-sue-internet-archive-over-massive-digital-lending-program/ It means there's a risk that a lot of manga/manhua/manhwa will disappear. Although the...

Some groups use watermarked raws to scanlate. Although it is still better than nothing, such bad quality can decrease the readers' enjoyment (and it is not even compliant with Mangadex's rules if the watermarks are obstrusive). But there is hope! =) It turns out the watermarking process can be...

I've noticed there is a lot of MD's announcements and overall concern in the scanlation community about high-tech topics like optimized image compression, user interfaces for javascript readers, etc. Let's face the hard reality head-on: using Photoshop is far from being the most advanced...

When it comes to be read by lots of people, long series often steal the spotlight from short series and oneshots (because more chapters means more releases, so it draws more attention on MD's main page, I guess). But quantity isn't quality. There are some very good short series and oneshots on...

Hi! After the recent brainstorming about how to fund MD, I suggest this as an alternative way to bring money: making premium accounts. Such accounts could for example give more functionalities (more emojis for comments, more rating options, etc), or loosen some limits (for example getting a bit...

Mangadex's Javascript reader is cool-looking, but it makes Mangadex incompatible with some browser extensions (like LibreJS for Firefox) and some browsers' privacy settings (like the "safest" mode of TOR browser). Javascript iteslf is not bad, but since it can be used for nasty things (spying...
