this may be the dumbest thread on MT [ ^_^' ] but apparently while I was searching the forums for this topic, I couldn't find anything about it -_- .. so please just humor me with an answer >_<

anyways, I was wondering why we don't recieve notifications on scans from our friends on MT. I always get their walls, doujinshi and threads, but why not scans? is this because of the quantity of scans uploaded per day on MT? or am I just odd and we do get notified? 0_0 ...

I've noticed how dissapointing it is when browsing my friends sites and seeing so many nice scans they've had for awhile in which I had not seen, being that I wasn't notified :P

Can someone tell me why or direct me to the proper place to get the answer? I tried many times to check the forums, maybe i'm blind but I've looked under [in the search] scans, notifications, friends notifications, etc... and nothing -_-

thanks for taking the time to read this, I think it would be nice to recieve notifications from others about scans- maybe we do and i'm odd and dont get them? o_0 i donnu... ^_^'

<lol> I've never seen a topic like this either. XD

Well, I suppose it's a valid question. :) Though I'm assuming the answer is something like, "Because scans aren't created by the person who submits it the way that doujinshi and walls are."

And, yes. ^_^' Also because there are floods when someone (for eg.) downloads an artbook and decides to share..

[edit] Sorry. XD Forgot to answer: submitted scans definitely do not get notifs. And, personally, I think that's a good call by the admin for the above two reasons.

hmmm I also don't receive any notifications for scans.. I think they removed it or it was all along not there..
since some people really do submit a lot of scans~ I guess just gotta make the extra effort to browse through the gallery.. since its also less laggy now~

bucky- that makes sense! ^_^ [giggles] i was starting to wonder if I was losing it ^_^' [giggles]
makes sense since its not something they created, and yeah- i can imagine if someone was downloading an art book :P

[bows to the anti-lag barrier around MT] XD XP

although it would be nice to be notified, but I guess its back to checking the scan galleries for new submissions >_<

hey bel, can you point me in the direction of your 2 scans?

damn shame scans do not get notifications though - being that i have 70 of em. :(
my gallery is a virtual shrine to Yoshitaka Amano. :) [66 scans of his work]

well... somehow, i'm glad we don't get the notifs, forces us the go see our friends' page every once in a while ;) plus, i'd get crazy with all those submissions, i already have a hard time keeping up with the ones i get ^_^'

Lol, I had the same feeling belmikry. I would go through my friends' userpages and see all their scans ~ and then freak out about why I never got notified of them. After some puzzlement, I came to the conclusion that indeed you don't get notifications for scans (^^);

I agree with bucket-shot's reasons: that scans, although they may scanned by the member, or not created by the member as with wallpapers and doujinshi submissons. And also imagine the notification floods other wise o_O

Personally, I perfer going through one series at a time, so I browse through the gallery anyway ^^

ohhh, i just know that submitting scan wont get the notice ne. i never submit scan image but i always find scan image in the gallery there but this stupid explorer in my office cannot upload the pics even the thumnails. how poor i am. i get some from my pals here coz i asked them to send me a great scan image for my wallie ahahaha

dream-san: those scans I just submitted:
http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/95426/

http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/95425/

yeah, basically going by series is the best way- but sometimes I find that i just want to find some fresh stuff that i haven't sen before, so I berowse random subjects ^_^

Scans do not really matter to me, so I feel indifferent. I only give credit to those who work on their work, not for something that was submitted from an outside source.

Nope... you don't.

Good thing: You get to see cool scans.

Bad thing: Insane posting, insane faving, insane walling and insane leeching, maybe. :\

well, thats nice and dandy, but what about us people who buy a art book and we kill it so we can give you guys some decent scans. Yes, I killed my card captor sakura art book, it was expense, so people who do scans should get some credit. Well, the "real" scanners, not the people who just take stuff off-line but anyway.

Yeah, getting notify about a scan, not so hot. We would get a TON of messages >_<

All I have to say is: Do you have Noctum on your friendlist? XD No offense Noc, but getting notified for all your scans would be unreal. @_@ Plus for people like me with a large general friendlist, I'd be overwhelmed by hundreds of them a day. Basically, being notified of scans would be a huge drain on the server as well as somewhat cumbersome. ^^

haha, excellent point biriwilg. last year right after i "hit" level 10, i spent several hours viewing and downloading his gallery. geez level 170 something ...

the problem is that most of the scans are already on Mt so coming up with an original scan [not already submitted] can be tricky.
