Manga and Doujinshi

Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to complain about the separation between Manga and Doujinshi, just about the fact that now there are separated Artist's pages and that's kind of useless(and a pain). I think Artist's works should all be grouped together, if not then there is no point in actually putting "Original work" since you automatically know what you're going to stumble upon depending on the section you're browsing. Then again, if you won't change the Artist section, I understand that there is a need for the "Original Work" tag.

I hope you understand my concern, thanks for reading through my complain.

I agree. if i like a certain artist and i follow the link to see more of their work, i want to see all available pieces, not a partial list.

[edit] followintg the artist link from a specific manga or doujin leads to a partial list of that artists work.

Right now the artist pages work as you wish them, not how you imagine things are.

????

If you click on the actual links on either Manga/Artist or Doujinshi/Artist, you'll be taken to a page that lists *both* Manga *and* Doujinshi by the author.

So right now, the feature is working as you wish, not as how the layout would imply. (Yeah, IMHO this is a bug). IIRC Jacob is focusing on getting the file-server issue sorted, so this is likely to remain for a while.

Jake also said, he'd like to overhaul the search page, so IMHO things would be more streamlined and clear once that happens... that's in the far future though.

BTW, the old unified lists are still working:

https://www.fakku.net/artists --> Unified List of Artists

https://www.fakku.net/newest --> Newest Additions to Site

I see what you're saying now. thank you for clarifying

what i was saying(per the edit) was that if i'm looking at a manga and follow the 'artist' link from that mangas info page, it leads to a partial list. for non-otaku people like me who can't remember some/any of the japanglish names, a list of them is pointless.

as it is set up now...
i'm looking at a manga, i like the artist and want to see more of their work, to see a complete list i have to:
open a new tab/window, manualy enter the address- www.fakku.net/artist, dig through many pages of a list of just names... this is extremely awkward.

when there is an artist link button right there on the info page...

i'm not a computer master, so i may be missing something, please show me if i am.

I checked and it's indeed as you wrote: when the user clicks the artist's name *from* a doujinshi or manga, they indeed only get a filtered list by the author depending on what sort of material they've been browsing.

For instance 10mo has both a doujinshi and a manga on FAKKU. Using your method you might get this link:

https://www.fakku.net/manga/artists/10mo

If you want a complete list, all you need is to remove the category prefix from the url:

https://www.fakku.net/manga/artists/10mo --> https://www.fakku.net/artists/10mo

By comparision, the link to 10mo on https://www.fakku.net/manga/artists, takes one straight to:

https://www.fakku.net/artists/10mo

...so it seems the functionality of the *main* menu item doesn't work, while the link in the actual manga/doujinshi entries do.

Thanks for the clarification =)
