    Machine translation flags for chapters

    Yeah, I know many people aren't honest about declaring their versions as MTL. But some are. And I think that could at least benefit readers like me who eschew MTL if we could filter those out. I know that such a flagging system could be abused. Some translators are just bad, others are lazy...

    Weigthing scores by time

    So, I've been thinking about corrections to series score inflation. Bayesian correction arguably works for series that have lots and lots of readers (the idea being to select for series many people like). But it doesn't solve the problem of series that have relatively few readers. I don't know...

    BGM and PDF support :rejected:

    This is a double suggestion: i. Many older, and even a few recent webtoons had embedded background music. Mainly Naver ones, to my knowledge. This was trendier in Batoto times, to the point that they supported inclusion of one BGM file per chapter, so it would play automatically in a loop (they...

    Cloud chapter uploads

    Not sure why, any upload I try above approximately 50 MB crashes and I have to ask someone else (usually Lymus) to upload it for me. I know it's not a feature of MDex itself. Lymus says it's probably something to do with DDoSGuard. Anyway, do you think you could set up a cloud upload feature...

    Followed series override genre/theme/format bans

    You've said somewhere that by-series blocks will never be implemented because it costs a lot in terms of processing power and loading time, making the whole site less efficient and optimised. But I wonder whether you wouldn't be able to do the opposite: implement a system of ban exceptions...

    Option to hide the Themes list

    I believe themes may feel spoilerish to some people. Sometimes, a mangaka may be deliberately ambiguous about the nature of a character until a big reveal later. If someone updates the Themes to include "Vampires", well… there goes the ambiguity. Or perhaps the big reveal is that it wasn't...

    Make user blocks hide the name of the user :maybe:

    Make user block even stronger. A certain controversial thread started a few hours ago made me think of this. People who follow this forum will know what I'm talking about, but it's only important that moderators and developers do. I won't elaborate. Right now, when I block a user, I still see...

    Make chapter list expandable instead of pages

    It's a minor feature, but it's another one that I think you could take a leaf from Batoto to optimise your user interface. I understand that for long series, having all chapters listed in the series front page results in a cluttered page for readers that aren't interested in scrolling down to...

    Integration of forums and manga pages

    I think MDex got it mostly right with comment sections for chapters and for the series as a whole. However, one feature I miss from the defunct Batoto was the list of forum threads related to a given series on its own page. For example, right now, people who want to discuss raws/spoilers, or...

    A random manga on the front page by default

    The random button is there, I know, but it requires deliberate action on the part of the visitor. I think putting a random manga at the top or side bar by default, like Kissmanga does, is a better option. All you'd have to do is make the randomiser respect users' hentai choices and genre bans...

    Automatic redirect in case of one-hit searches :maybe:

    The search function could be improved so that, in case one knows exactly the series they want, they can type a word they know will yield just one result, and in this case instead of a search results page with just one title, the search function redirects to the single hit. For example, if I...
