Title: Frequest Release Offline Availability
Post by: Bahamad on September 01, 2017, 04:44:21 pm
First, the site looks great.

For those of us who prefer to not have to wait for page loads/binge read the serials is there any way to change the overlay running to allow for offline saving/access to the frequent releases such as SJI/RI/EMM or provide a download link like there are for the Wednesday releases (right now the overlay seems to be preventing any saving of images directly)?  I know we can screen scrape the pages easily enough, but it'd be more friendly to be able to save the individual pages as through a normal browser action like we were able to on the original site.

It's on the list! We don't have an ETA for it yet, but the plan is to continue to produce volumes the way we have in the past for SJI (those volumes will also be coming back).

I'm not sure why you need to block the saving of individual pages when you make available pdf's with the images anyway. If you allow one, why not the other?

My feeling is you should allow the downloading of the individual pages that way if someone simply wanted to save them to a photo album on their iPad to organize and review, they can.

About Downloads... (https://forum.mindcontrolcomics.com/index.php?topic=1758.0) may have something to do with it.
