| Fixed proxy ip support |
It was brought to my attention that people with proxied connections were having trouble logging into the site. This has been fixed. If you were being sent right back to the login page right after logging in, and you have a proxied connection, you can probably login OK now.
Also, we changed our series update time to 10 seconds from 30. Some people were expressing dislike for the long wait. |

| Problems staying logged in? |
| I modified the login script af few days ago to allow people to log into bu-manga from the same computer with different browsers. I accidently left a small bug that invalidates everyone elses' sessions whenever someone logs in. If you have been experiencing difficulty staying logged in, I appologize. The bug has been fixed (hopefully...). |

| Sweatdrop Studios (UK-based manga studio) featured in Artists & Illustrators Magazine |
Sonia Leong writes: UK-based anime/manga style comics highly profiled in mainstream art magazine:
For those interested in the attractive and dynamic art style of cartooning inspired by the Japanese Anime and Manga scene, you do not want to miss picking up the latest issue of Artists & Illustrators Magazine (on sale 4th March), the UK's best-selling magazine for practising artists.
Manga style is heavily featured, appearing as a cover-mount, two full-colour mini comics (eight pages each) and a "Make your own manga" tutorial, including sketching, inking and using colour markers to produce authentic looking illustrations. All of these features were provided by Sweatdrop Studios, a collaborative of UK artists working to produce original comics and graphics in this unique art style.
Sweatdrop Studios will also be offering talks, demonstrations, seminars and practical workshops at the Artists & Illustrators Exhibition (21st-24th July 2005). Look out for more information and features from the group in upcoming issues of the magazine.

Manga - votes: 1647 (55.7%)
I Hate Both - votes: 221 (7.5%)
There were 2956 total votes.

Obviously Manga wins :) This was mainly a test of our poll system. The next poll should be a bit more interesting! Keep your eyes peeled as we'll be adding a new one soon. |

| Site Update, Series Info Section Completed |
We had a minor site update today. Firstly, the series section has been upgraded, and we will start populating it with new series. If you would like to help, you can goto the "My Releases" section after registering for an account and hitting the "Add Series" button. I have added a sample series "Open Sesame" as an example of how it works. Anyone who has an account can contribute to a series by clicking the "Edit" button for the specific item they wish to update. Several other minor things have been upgraded as well. I hope everything works, but if it doesn't, please add a comment to this news entry.
Update: I changed the reviews section around a bit. It looks a little nicer now. Check it out here. More things to come.
Thanks, BU-Staff |
