BUGS:

On approve manga page chapter titles in textbox are trimmed after first apostrophe. They appear normally in uploads list though.
If there is apostrophe in file path or file name inside uploaded file, those uploads appear to be broken - links are trimmed after first apostrophe.
When you're reading manga and switch to next chapter either by dropdown list or << >> buttons or after last page, you're redirected to mature/clean series warning. It's annoying, and before you would be redirected to the first page of the next/selected chapter.
When uploading several chapters in parallel in like 5 tabs, and navigating from the first upload form (file info) to the second one (file path) sometimes (in some tabs) you are redirected to the main page instead of the second upload page. After files finish uploading in some cases (several tabs) you are also redirected to the main page instead of the first upload form. I think that there is some race condition involved...
I can't add chapters to Dante's Divine Comedy (http://mangahut.com/manga/m=rj93/dante_s_divine_comedy). I approved some, but they didn't appear in the chapter list.
If you type something into "resume key" field on upload page, everything disappear. O.o
If you change chapter type (Noraml/QH/Omake), the corresponding change request doesn't appear on mod page.
Series Synopsis can't handle Unicode.
Series with Ecchi tag don't appear on the front page.
Site doesn't allow chapters to be named like "008.5", it trims it to just "008".
I crated social group fro Anedoki, but images from it don't appear on the series page.
Tooltip for One-shot tag has question signs in brackets. Is it intended, or should it be some Japanese hieroglyphs which didn't survive after some non-Unicode conversion?
Tried to add biri biri group with site URL http://biribirichan.byethost7.com/. But the script said it cant load the URL (it was 100% working), and I had to create group without site url...

BUG:

Whenever i view the manga page and after i click that synopsis thing for hentai stuff,
after a few seconds or something an ad will just replace the photo of the manga but guess wut the ad is invi so i sometimes accidentally click it and this damn ad will redirect me.

And whenever i read a manga in AUTO VIEW after i click next the ads on the bottom will join with the manga and its shi*ing me big time.
i tried doing those stuffs in other browsers it still happens.
though rarely it still is annoying!

[Lazy Ranma]

+2 more bugs.
I will post all bugs in this topic in single post, this way it is easer to keep track of them.

[Nox]

BUG:

I just re-uploaded "Full Metal Panic! Σ" chapter 003 twice after I asked for it to be deleted because the pages were not in order. The pages are still out of order, and I double and triple-checked the .zip on my computer and even re-archived the whole file the second time, but they are still not in order when the chapter appears on Mangahut. O_o

[Lazy Ranma]

Better post chapter list, otherwise it's impossible to suggest why the aren't in order.
Well, it could be upper/lower case in names, which is handled differently on Linux and Co.

The pages are supposed to go from "Credits" -> "Full Metal Panic Sigma v01 c03 p109" and then end at "Full Metal Panic! Sigma v01 c03 p162"

Instead, they show up like this: "Credits" -> "Full Metal Panic! Sigma v01 c03 p152" all the way to the last page: "Full Metal Panic! Sigma v01 c03 p162" then start back at the first one "Full Metal Panic Sigma v01 c03 p109" before ending at "Full Metal Panic Sigma v01 c03 p151"

EDIT:

OH, snap! I just realized someone has named them with "!" behind Full Metal Panic, and only from 152 to 162 xD omg, that's annoying... well nevermind then.. I guess..

[Lazy Ranma]

yay! the most annoying bug is fixed, but I found 13th. ;)

damn swirls~ lol

The apostrophe issue should be resolved.

The next buttons were not an error, I simply changed it, but it has been switched back.

You were being sent to the homepage because you triggered the redirect page in less than 3 seconds. This time has been changed to 1 second and the redirect page will not be used for sending you to step 2 any longer. It will be a much simpler redirect.

I'll look into the divine comedy thing later. See if it's resolved now that the apostrophe issue should be resolved.

When you type the resume key all the other fields vanish because they would be ignored any way. You shouldn't need them, do you?

What typed of unicode characters are you trying to use?

Ecchi is in the same boat as hentai and should not show up on the front page.

Yeah, the .5 should be stripped from 008. What is the purpose of it?

The Anedoki thing is weird. I manually added it though, guess this feature still needs more testing. I'm going to try to add a few more, tell me if it happens again.

I'm confused about your one shot thing...

edit: You actually noticed way before I finished my post. LOL

Wrong thread...but I'll answer it...please report such ads to ads@mangahut.com
focus~

bleh im just gonna make it stop checking the URL. If it doesn't work it'll just have to not work...nose-pick

I really mean that everything disappears. Including field where I supposed to type the key to and the Next button.
What typed of unicode characters are you trying to use?
See change request for Your Dog in ACPM for example .
Ecchi is in the same boat as hentai and should not show up on the front page.No, it's quite wrong... From Wikepedia, for example: "The term ecchi is applied to anime or manga that has vague sexual content (such as skimpy clothing, partial or full nudity), but does not show sexual intercourse, making it the manga equivalent of a PG-13 rated movie." Basically, Ecchi is [legally] 13+, no reason to hide it.
Yeah, the .5 should be stripped from 008. What is the purpose of it?Literally chapter "8 and a half". Or chapter/filler between 8 and 9. See Your Dog, there are few fillers between chapters, or Seka x Seka with "official" 8.5 chapter.
I'm confused about your one shot thing...
Used to denote a pilot manga or a stand-alone story. It is expressed by the term yomikiri (????), which implies that the comic is presented in its entirety without any continuation.

[Nination]

Nah I know what a One Shot is. I just don't get the problem you're having and Ecchi will show up on the main page now.

[Lazy Ranma]

Err... It's your tooltip from your onMouseover="showhint(elementbyid('tooltip_genre_40').innerHTML , this, event, '300px')".
After word "yomikiri" there brackets with ????? (question signs). Should it be kana characters, or am I missing some fonts?

[Lazy Ranma]

The apostrophe issue should be resolved.
Just checked, it is not. ;)
Check Dante's Divine Comedy upload: title "test'test" becomes "test", and images can't be loaded.

Edit: By the way, I've noticed that Smut genre is also hidden. MNHO it's same as ecchi, you'll find a lot of smut for 13+ shoujo. I think it shouldn't be hidden too...
(Not sure though, since I didn't read much of that genre)

Um I think Im gonna keep smut banned until I research it some. Now the apostrophe issue is totally resolved.

Also I have no idea about the question marks. Ill replace the description soon and look into the unicode thing.

From baka-updates:

"Smut
Deals with series that are considered profane or offensive, particularly with regards to sexual content"

From wiktionary:

smut (countable and uncountable; plural smuts)

1. (uncountable) Soot.
2. (uncountable) Sexually vulgar material; something that is sexual in a dirty way.


Well this isn't really an issue, is it?

[Nination]

Yeah, that's what I thought. It's gonna stay blocked. I'm allowing Ecchi because so many friendly series have the marking.

Hi, im twelve and what is this? =)

But i have to agree on this tho, smut can't be put on the same level as hentai, most romance stories have some form of smut in it and are pretty harmless overall. But then again that might not be the case for all of the manga. So keeping it blocked from the update bar might be a sensible decision.

Apostrophe in chapter title is working now, thanks. But uploads with apostrophe in file names become "Invalid Upload". Also, I tried to add chapter to Dante's Divine Comedy with no luck, chapters still don't appear.

[Ninja]

smut is banned? wut-what?

From the main page...nothing has changed

[Lazy Ranma]

I'll check when I get home (in 9 hours >.>)

[Nination]

Cool. The Divine comedy issue has been resolved for sure now. It was that the series representation in the database was un-escaped and not re-escaped so they were making it to the media server, but not the database if you know what that is...

[Lazy Ranma]

Cool, it does work now.

Found some weird bug...
Whenever I try to upload World Embryo/045, it always has some pages missing in the middle (404 not found). Tried to rename file into XXX.jpg (files were originally named like XX.jpg or XX-XX.jpg), repack zip, recompress jpeg's, recompress as png, still pages are missing. Here is link: http://mangahelpers.com/s/ddk/details/44865

I had the same problem with Zero/061. We need to catch Kaiten...

No

"10 characters"

[Shin]

zero is totally messed up.

for example..this is Zero Chapter 41 (http://mangahut.com/manga/m=N13s/zero/041/pg1).It says there is no chapter uploaded.

Chapter 57 (http://mangahut.com/manga/m=hr1f/zero/057/pg1) is actually 47.

Maybe the series should be deleted and re-uploaded.

No, it shouldnt. Chapter 57 is Chapter 57. "Circle 47" is the name of the chapter, not the actual number of chapter. There are chapters named like "Circle N, part N" too. ^^

[Shin]

ok..that's one problem answered :)
i thought circle is just another name for chapter shock~

[Ninja]

i didnt get the 'NO. 10 CHARACTERS' thing qwerty. what you mean?

[TheQwertiest]

Nothing really. Forum engine requires 10 characters to post a message. So, I posted 10 characters. ^^

[Ninja]

damn. i thought it was something. so there's no way of me uploading all at once? hey answer my question bout awards!

[Demon Eyes Nick]

Umm, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, buuut~ Does it matter what the actual names of the pages are in the zip file? I havent done much, so all the ones ive uploaded were just 01, 02, 03, ...19, 20, credits. Im about to upload a new series and they are have the manga name, volume, chapter, and page number in the name. Do i have to rename the files?

They can be named as randomly as you want. The only thing is that they should be in correct order when sorted alphabetically. =)
And first page's name shouldnt start with "00", i.e. 001.png is bad. 01.png or !credit.png is fine.

Ah, I see. I kind of figured it was something like that, but i wasnt too sure. Thanks much!

[greatzy]

suggestion:
new genre: by author

[scatterer]

Pre Scriptum: I created a thread for this, sorry. (please delete that...)

Suggestion
Hey there,

I think you should allow more than one scanslation group to be mentioned when one uploads a chapter. A great deal of chapters are joint projects, and only one can be put there.

Also, It would be nice if, when adding a chapter of a non existing series, one could add the series info at that time (if theres a way of doing it without destroying the simplicity of the uploading form).

Cheers

[aUsCkEs]

If possible, I think it's be a good idea if there was a daily updated thread on the symbols/comments for the series. For example, where to use "hot~" or "new~", or what kind of "comments" we should leave besides a "new series" that was uploaded from the first chapter to the last one-for example, "[end]" or anything like that.

i dont understand? (kinda slow atm)

[aUsCkEs]

i dont understand? (kinda slow atm)

Let's rephrase that.

There should be a list for the Mods or whomever is allowed to accept uploads and edit the release log with the following:

1) Which series to use "hot~"
2) Which series to use "new~"
3) What should be added in the release log when a "new series" is uploaded completely (as [end] or [completed])
4) When/where to add the name of the scanlator group in the release log, next to what series

Things like that.

Suggestion:
I don't know how this would work, but if there would be a way to put a progress bar on the uploading page, so the uploader would know how much was left and get a guess about how long it might take, instead of just having the circle thing saying it's uploading.

I second this suggestion, it could be useful. Since now you're just left to wonder how long it'll take and how far it has progressed.

well they are on the list of the "upgrades" kaiten is making. so we should better wait.

[latoshan32]

Poor Kaiten . . . I'll bet he has a neverending list of things to do for then site.
