New Features
I have put a lot of effort in recently to the site to get it to be as good as possible. This is to kind of make up for the last couple of months were we had some major outages due to hosting problems (don't even ask =( anyway...). Here are features and problems I am working on actively so you know that I am working to make this site as good for you as possible:
Hot backups: I'm trying to work on a system that if the main image/thumbnail servers go down that backups will be used. I'm currently working on the server monitoring system (see here: http://readhentai.net/servercheck.php). At the moment we have load balanced frontend servers but our image and thumbnail servers only have cold backups (means they backup every few days). This is expensive as we need servers that can handle the traffic surge at a different datacenter so pretty much doubling our current costs.
Broken Manga: We have some manga albums that are broken in some way, I have a list of some of them that I need to fix. Sometimes images get corrupted or don't convert correctly and get damaged and lost. I don't have the original images so I will probably have to find the manga and just fix everything manually. Time consuming and probably will be put off until I have more free time (maybe after the semester?).
User Features: I am actively working on adding more user features, including adding credits. I want to use credits to allow you guys to get rewards for being a member of the community. So adding tags gives credits, viewing manga, leaving comments, rating, etc. And they can be used to buy things. This way you guys can pay to remove the ads by being active. There will probably be other things too, but I wanted to give users a way to not see ads when on the site, my goal always was to make it easy and fun for everyone and ads take away from that.
Hopefully when the credit system is finalized I can add things like comments, user uploads, personal ratings (instead of anonymous ones), recommended manga for you, watch lists, etc.
