Hi, just want to make a suggestion about the random button.
When you press the random button the current page is replaced by the random page sent by the server, and making impossible to go back.

Can't you change the way the redirect occurs, making the pages available in the browser history.

Thanks

Are you using chrome? Because it's the only browser that shows such effect. None of the other browsers, IE, Opera, Firefox, bunch of mobile browsers ,etc. doesn't have this effect.

Quite frankly, I consider this a bug in chrome if anything else. A page has changed, why it refuses to keep the resulting redirects in chrome's browser history instead of the initiating one is beyond me. Also, this is a behavior against the RFC standards which dictate that history should reflect what users saw (ie, the redirected result, not origin).

It's the exact same if you press "random" on wikipedia.

If you've messaged me for something and I haven't responded in a while. Please just message me again. I'm really sorry but I rarely do miss a few. >.<

We should change the text to say "Pseudo-Random" as well!

Just kidding. I'm surprised that Chrome doesn't do that, tho'. o.o Although I don't know why that surprises me, since they didn't have Fullscreen for like the first 6 months after release, and still don't have Link Search.

I guess, temporary bypass = right-click random and open it in new tab every time you want it to random a new manga for you =/

Yep using chrome.
Just tried with firefox and it works properly.

Its been a while since i used another browser, and i didn't know that chrome failed the redirects, so i thought you we're using something like javascript replace.
