Hope everyone had fun during the Easter event. I've rolled it back to how things were before.

Some of my work now is on optimizing the site. There are so many security checks that are done before a page is even rendered. I've been reviewing which are still needed, which are redundant, and which can be done better.
I'm also looking into developing a number lookup system. O(n) queries can be quite computationally expensive compared to O(1) queries. Sometimes good indexes can help, but in the end nothing scales as good as O(1).
On character profiles alone we have an average of over 150 queries. I'd love to optimize and simplify this.
It also frustrates me how nobody can tell me what a good layout is. Yet everyone can point out a bad layout when they see one.
I don't doubt for one second we could do better with our { character / series / edit character / edit series } layouts. I may take some stabs at changing things.
It's been about a year now, and I'm still slowly working towards my goal of indexing 100,000 lines. More than half way there now!
I've updated
Episode Transcripts to have a default mode of listing available episodes.
Also updated
Top 100 Promoters of Mai Husbando and
Top 100 Promoters of Mai Waifu! to look a bit nicer.
I've restored some features on source.php that had stopped working. Clicking the links at the top of a series page, like Reviews and Similar should now take you to the correct location on the page.
I'm a little curious if I should revive
Episode Blogs. Made that feature a lot of years ago - sports a 1-5 star rating, Episode Name, Episode Number, and brief summary.
Also wondering if I should revive
Episode Appearances ... my only original intention with it was to keep track of episodes characters I liked appeared in. lol Were it easy to use,. it might have a lot of potential.
Actually it's amazingly easy to use. You can literally load it up on a tablet while you watch a series, tap each character as you see them, and Post it when done.
The hard part is finding the darn thing. xD Short of URL hacking, I have no idea how anyone would use it.
Wonder what improvements tomorrow's
DAILY will bring.
