First of all, lets say that the site looks a lot better!! Especially the fact that you don't have to go to the forums to download your favorite manga, but that everything is listed on the frontpage in a format I saw at mangashare.com, is an incredible feat!! However, there is one little remark about when I want to download a manga chapter:

I just downloaded Naruto 425 and was a little bit annoyed to see some pages of the chapter. For me, these pictures spoil the fun for me and I think others will to. Now I now, without reading the chapter that we get to see

a drawing of the kyuubi "attacking or something"

I think some people will not like this. My suggestion is just put one page (like the first page) instead of five, so that people can judge the quality (or whatever the cause is why you would put five different pages) on basis of that page. It should be enough to judge the Edited Manga quality, however I think all Edited Mangas (or almost all) have an excellent quality.

Thanks for listening to my suggestion.

Almost the same with Psyren... in the "details" section you have preview images...

Those images are THE biggest spoiler in the manga if you have not read it.

Would be nice if you could change it to some other chapter.

Moving this to a new thread, because I think it's quite important. I agree with this too.

Suggest the preview images be hidden by default? Then, you can click a link to display the images. At least for the downloading page.

For the manga details though, there must be a way to select some other images like volume covers or some thing.

Isn't there an album for volume covers?

If the covers exist, feed it from there to the details page. (or add it manually)

Ehm, the original idea behind the preview images were selected spoiler-free pages to show examples of the art in general to people who think about reading this manga and clearly not recent chapter pages. I have no clue why it's now like that but this was not the intention when we added this feature.

I agree, this is a serious problem and needs to be solved. But instead of hiding them, they need to be selected like originally planned otherwise it completely destroys the purpose of giving example pages. What sense is it when you can't look at them without the fear for major spoiler?

Also I don't see why they need to be rotated. Simply select a nice cover for the top and six spoiler-free sample pages which give a good inside of the artwork (like 2x just-background art, 2x pages with lots of character design and a chapter cover page - without or removed text) and that's it.
