Do you have a fully fleshed idea that you think Baka-Tsuki should adopt? Post it here.

well, to put it bluntly those image is spoiler hence reducing the surprise effect :(
Possibly, however it might impact Simon's epub generator and baka-tsuki mobile app, I'll try it and talk it over with folks later.

Edit: Currently testing on one of my own series:
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index ... 2:Volume_1

I'll ask around and if it isn't conflicting with any of the 3rd party apps (already know from Simon it doesn't break BTE-GEN) so all that's left to confirm if it's fine with baka-reader. Anyone?
Well the app only loads the chapters one by one and doesn't have a full text page so it's clear from this side. Itested it on my phone just now and I didn't get any change notification even after forcing update.

In that case I'm going to apply the spoiler thingy to both my series later, however. I don't have any magical influence powers over other translators and projects managers. So whether they follow suit is not up to me~

Is there a reason (other than a historical one) why we include B/W in the gallery, anyway? I have always put only the color illustrations into the illustration pages of my projects, using the B/W ones only in the chapters themselves, and never heard someone complain. (Because that's how it's also handled in the actual novels. And I'm allergic to spoilers. :D)

Actually there's a good reason why the colour illustrations are not included in the middle of the novels (where the scenes depicted are), but rather on the very beginning. I'd have to explain printing process and stuff though... so yeah, that.
