Nice Feature, Also can you make Progress Bar when uploading, and Notification if Images failed to upload.
I dont know when the images I upload stuck,

Edit : just as Harry_Dong said, What if there is 2 version
Onii-chan is Done For has 2 version of cover
Physical Tankobon, and Digital Format
Which Volume should i use?? or I must use both with "footnote feature" included??

 

[Nick86]

Good stuff but there are already two duplicate cover in the example of Slime above, the volume 9, should be added a option to report or better a delete option.

About support i will donate again next year in January, and i will do it every year as much as i can. ?

ps: If the server cost become an issue and donations aren't enought some not invasive ads without hidden script is also a good solution, nothing wrong with them as long as they are monitored.

@Holo Would you allow for other images too other than manga covers (eg. Best Character voting result-illustrations, crossovers covers or a chapter's title page/page 1 illustrations?)

Not fan art or anything like that obviously.

@Holo
Will you allow an option to send BTC or ETH for the donations?

 

[GerryCerryBerry]

Some argument in the past was about the spoiler-ish nature of manga covers, which led to several heated discussion in the forums. Any idea how to solve this problem except for the obvious "Don't open the cover tab"?

 

[Holo]

@GerryCerryBerry Yeah, I think "Don't open the cover tab" is the best way forward. Maybe in future once the read volume/chapter tracking improved, volumes that the reader hasn't read yet could be hidden or something.

@idle_af Due to the difficulty of converting crypto back into fiat currency, I haven't explored the option of accepting them yet.

 

[Kiija]

Could you think of adding Paypal to the support site?

 

[Dysisa]

This new cover gallery idea is very nice. Seems like a good reason to change the rule for what covers should be used for a series though, to it always being volume 1.

 

[Holo]

@Kiija Paypal is what is being accepted right now.

IF YOU WANT BEST QUALITY IMAGES FOR COVER THEN DO THIS:
Go to bookwalker, to page of manga covers you want.
Open cover picture featured there or copy it's link. Example https://c.bookwalker.jp/8646713/t_700x780.jpg
See that number 8646713? Reverse sequence of number and minus 1. You get 3176467
Paste that number in there http://cc.bookwalker.jp/coverImage_[?????].jpg
And you get best picture possible

Cool idea, a couple of things:
-If a manga is blocked from edits, you can't add covers (komi-san as an example)
-you should be able to delete your own cover uploads (or at least allow contributors to do so)

 

[Kiija]

@Holo, so it is, sorry, I was looking for the familiar PP logo among the MC/Visa etc logos, but it came out when clicking the pay button. Thanks!

 

[Lampan]

Is there a way to make it not go to cover tab when pressing on cover image.

 

[viliml]

Which titles get locked and why?

 

[Plykiya]

@viliml Pages get locked if there's controversy over certain details (such as what the title should be, or what the cover image should be). We don't allow edit wars.

 

[GipoScribantino]

I tried to upload the covers for the manga I'm currently translating (Taizo Mote King Saga), but after doing so, they don't appear in the cover page.
I even tried different browsers, but the covers page is still empty.
Reading this thread I can't figure out if I did something wrong, what should I do?

 

[Holo]

@GipoScribantino You might want to come on discord and we might be able to figure out what's wrong.

 

[FredFriendly]

If you need to increase the size of your image or improve the quality of an old, low-rez image, or both, I recommend https://waifu2x.booru.pics/. It can double the size and drastically reduce noise in images. It does have limitations: Maximum file size: 8M, 3840x3840 pixels.

You can use it for locally stored images or get images from the web. I've used it directly on the cover images of a book on ebookjapan.:

[GipoScribantino]

@Holo
I discovered that it's a problem with the browser I used to upload the covers.
I don't know if it was a particular configuration or something else, but by using a different uncustomized browser I could upload a cover.
After I discover what the issue with the browser is I'll make a bug report, either here or to the browser developers.
Thanks and sorry for the noise.

Edit:
Now the "broken" browser works too, somehow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Something's going on, but it's likely to be browser-side, not with the site.

@Holo the "Follow" button now appears under the image instead of between the other two action buttons, is that okay?
