^ Definately a great idea, it's been applied.
The new presentation makes it handy to go through but also nicer to view due to seeing one chapter at a time, which avoids having your eyes distracted by pictures from other chapters around and really get a feel of the specific chapter you choose to see!
Glad you thought of it! :thumbup:

Despite the loading process now being camouflaged and not disturbing posts (which gives you a quicker access to the specific chapter you want to check), loading's still needed of course, so if you see "image" written instead of pictures, just wait a few seconds and the pictures will pop up. 8)

Do not worry for the lack of updates for the days to come, it's all cause I have a big future-defining contest this week-end and therefore I don't have time to gather, edit and post preview panels until next week.

Also, all pictures (as well as my avatar) have been disabled due to exceeding bandwidth - which is less likely to happen in the future cause it's likely mostly due to the many times I edited the page and let all pictures of all chapters load to check them, but now I'll interrupt the daily loading of the page to just hit the "edit" button without pictures loading, which should save a LOT of monthly bandwidth.
All pictures will end up being viewable again soon, once the time limit for the monthly bandwidth reset date has been hit.

You should give i.minus.com a go. Unlimited, free hosting and no bandwidth limit which seems to be pretty important given the popularity of this site and its forum members.

Thanks for the advice, I might do that if it turns out wrong.
But first, I'll see if things are better when I don't check 1500 pictures three times a day! 8)
Plus, I didn't keep the original tiny-sized preview panels, it would be a pain to retrieve them and re-upload them and re-edit 150 chapters with the correct links! :)

I'm sure it will be just fine from now on, how many chances are there to have 10GB of pictures loaded to various computers in just one month? 8)

To celebrate the fact that tomorrow the Saiyan part should start its sped-up process on Mangapolo, all of Kid Goku's adventures are now available as previews!
(Actually, it's more of a coincidence, but let's pretend I know what I'm doing). :P

Luckily, the missing chapter was not the most important: if it was the following chapter that was missing, you wouldn't be able to see Goku bursting through Demon King Piccolo!

Right now, I haven't made up my mind about the next previews: will I continue with the Piccolo part or will I give priority to the sped-up Saiyans arc? Hmm...
Both could be interesting, cause you're not about to see the Piccolo arc printed so you might want to see previews for that reason (so that it helps you see parts of the story you might not see anytime soon otherwise), but at the same time the Saiyans arc is coming your way in a few months and you might want to see previews for that reason (so that it helps you deal with the wait and gives you a glimpse of that release if you haven't made up your mind yet about buying it or not).

Did you download the chapters from MangaPolo via YTDownloader to make the images?

^ I used Keepvid to take the videos in HD, screencap the relevant pictures, then edit each picture to make it one relevant panel and erased the now-useless source video.

The problem with the missing chapter was that the video download was interrupted - which I didn't notice since it puts "download complete" as if everything was fine as usual - and the result was that only the first 10 seconds or so would be playing.
Being unable to keep up with the "two chapters a day" system, I had begun stocking the videos until I had turned them into panels, but by the time I arrived to the corrupted chapter and noticed there was a problem, the source video was already long gone from the Mangapolo channel. So, no previews for that one!

Which chapter did you miss? I have all the chapters up until now, except for chapters 11, 12, 13, and 36 of Part 1. I could post you any other chapter if you want, and if you can, post me the chapters I don't have as well. :)

Chapter 160 is missing on my side.
If you still have it, you don't have to give it all to me: if you wanna help this thread, just pick 8-10 screencaps of the pictures you think will satisfy people's curiosity (showing a special effect, a big moment, a beautiful shot or a color schemes for elements/characters that would appear exclusively on that chapter). Basically, the 8-10 pictures you find worthy of being previewed, and just post them, I'll do the editing and posting, no problem! :wink:

But the problem is that I'm not sure I can be of any help to you: all I kept were the pictures I found relevant to use as previews (now shown here) before discarding the videos, and they are now on a pretty small size.
I do have other panels kept in HD because I selected some short moments to convert into the French Perfect Edition, but they are not from the chapters you're missing... and with the official French translation, which is absolutely not interesting when you're not French!

I'll search my old hard drive and USB drives to see if there are traces of those chapters (despite discarding files, I often record files over a bunch of different media for safety purposes and there's a chance there still could be copies of it despite my previous attempt to get rid off them).
Then if I succeed, I'll have to find how to transmit them to you cause it would be a pretty heavy pack of pictures if I still have the HD version of the panels, and I absolutely don't know what I could use to transfer such a big pack of content since ten years ago, all you had to do was transmit them to Megaupload without even being registered and you'd instantly be able to post a link to the files for the intended person. But now Megaupload is gone for good!

Since I believe I should better leave this to your hands, I uploaded the video here.

I hope you will find the chapters I want, especially chapter 36. You could use DropBox for uploading, it's super easy to use and very convenient.

^ That's not the right video! :D Chapter 160 is the one right before Goku bursts through Demon King Piccolo's chest. The chapter actually ends with Goku "flying" towards Piccolo with his fist ready.

Anyway, you're both lucky and unlucky: I have your missing chapters, but... not in the form of a video (that would have shocked me since I always got rid off them really quickly), only as high definition pictures for each panel of those chapters.
I still installed Dropbox (not that I know how to proceed now), but I'm not sure pictures were what you were looking for. Sorry.

Gah, I uploaded chapter 170 instead of 160... :oops: Wait for the correct one in a little while.

It's alright, since you don't have them in video form, just send me chapter 36 then, since I have the others in non-video form.

^ Chapter 160 is actually the one before that, the one that ENDS with Goku flying towards Piccolo, not the one that BEGINS with it! :lol:
You know what they say, third time's the charm! 8)

I have no experience with Dropbox, so I'll just check it with you:
all I have to do is basically put the file with chapter 36 in the dropbox on my computer, then go to my online account to see the file appearing there, and copy/paste the address right here. Is that right?

And also, just to be sure cause I don't trust you and chapter numbers! :lol:
The chapter you want (36) is the one with Krilin fighting Bacteria, right? :)

I-It's not my fault! Or is it? I saw chapter 160 from Kanzenshuu having the Oozaru Fist... and I opened a video with that, so... yeah. :oops: I'll post the correct one this time... I'm sure. :shifty:

Yes. You may have to wait for it to get uploaded, it will be ready when it has the green mark.

Here you go, hoping I did things correctly for you to access the files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o7dfka2j63jb7yf/RHm8pQgcBD

You know, I could use this dropbox folder to give members around their favorite panels in HD, but I don't if I should.
What's sure is that I will avoid giving full chapters for obvious reasons (you should warn me once you have retrieved those pictures so that I can take them out of the dropbox), but I guess I can drop a handful of each members' favorite panels in HD if they have specific requests.
Unless one of the mods says "nope, this would be stepping out of bounds" of course, cause they know more about where the line is than I do to be honest.

Here is yours: https://www.dropbox.com/s/foypeqbehu4me ... 203-48.mp4

I hope I got it right this time. :P

Also, MangaPolo re-uploaded the first 26 chapters from Part 1, and will probably re-upload the rest (yeah! I'll get all the chapters!), and it also uploaded the complete Saiyan arc in English! (Viz translation with censored Popo.) This gives me hopes that they will eventually upload Freeza arc.

EDIT: Remember when I said that I asked MangaPolo if they will release Freeza arc? I got a reply...

Yep, that's the one! :wink:

And I do hope they change their minds about the Freezer, Cell and Boo sagas, which is still possible: once they'll reach the end of the Saiyans, they'll be like "what do we do with Dragon Ball now? Oh, after all, let's continue the story further!" 8)

The missing chapter 160 has been added thanks to DBZGTKOSDH, making Kid Goku's adventures truly complete for this thread now.

Given the circumstances, it has been decided that previews for the "Saiyans" chapters should prevail over the last part of the Demon King Piccolo saga.
Therefore, previews have been added accordingly until Goku's first Kaioken against Vegeta (incidentally the chapter that was offered as a preview when the color edition was still on its way).
