| New Poll - Rereading Manga |
This new poll was suggested by our member JohnHomos. Do you reread any series that you thought were good and enjoyable? For me, I do so when I feel a sudden urge or am bored...(like I remember reading parts of 1/2 Prince and Hana Kimi)
We are finally gonna have an official thread for this poll! So discuss away here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=17096
If you have poll suggestions (and we always need more!), go ahead and post in this thread:

| New Categories Feature |
I've just added a new feature to the series section, called "Categories". It is a sort of tagging feature for series. It's fresh off the assembly like, so if you have problems with it, please report it here.
For anyone curious as to how it works, anyone can add a tag to the database. You can view the tag database by clicking on "Categories" on the menu to the right of this post. You can also search by tag (as well as genre and other things at the same time) by using the advanced search page. You can also vote specific tags up and down on a per-series basis.
I know this will seem a little crazy initially, but hopefully we can get a good tag database going and retain some consistency along the way. If you would like a tag renamed or combined with some other tag, please let us know by change request, and we'll take care of those issues.
Thanks! |

| Double (Triple?) Holiday Trouble |
First off, it's Chinese New Year! And it's the Year of the Tiger! Fairly significant holiday to me, as I'm Chinese
Secondly, happy Valentine's Day for all the lovers out there. For all of us singles, there's a third SAD holiday: Single's Awareness/Appreciation Day. Which would include me...I guess you can give gifts to yourself to feel better?
(And tomorrow is President's Day for all of us USA people, and the good thing about that is no school! But no special announcement for it tomorrow) |
