When they release more then one chapter in a post it comes though as one chapter.

Also something else weird. One of the releases has the group as Flower Bridge Too but links to Wuxiaworld. Assume this is because it was "Posted by Flowerbridgetoo" on their site?

... and another thing with this one, is there a way to mass delete all the releases that link to flowerbridgetoo.com? All the non flowerbridgetoo.wordpress.com releases are broken and was wondering if there was a faster way to delete them without removing all the good releases. If not don't worry about it will delete them later.

This is a limitation of how the system that tries to pull the chapter out of the title works. It's not flexible enough to figure out chapter ranges (actually, the whole chapter system doesn't support multi-chapter releases at all). So far, the "Extra" column is intended to be use to note chapter details and such.'

I believe that the actual translator is Flowerbridgetoo, but they're hosting the translation on Wuxiaworld. Therefore, whenever Flowerbridgetoo released a translation, they actually posted it on Wuxiaworld, but also posted a notice on the Flowerbridgetoo site saying "we did this thing, you can look at it over here".

There's a huge amount of cross-posting and interlinking among translation groups, and trying to prevent duplicate links to the same release is a losing proposition no matter how you go about doing it.

Anyways, apparently they've gone belly-up or something, and their site is now dead.

There's no easy way short of manipulating the database directly to delete just their links. However, since all their links are now invalid, I can disable the feed parser for their releases, delete all their auto-generated releases, and then re-run the historical release system, which will re-create all the auto-releases without just their releases.

FWIW, if you ever wind up having to manually fix more then maybe 10 releases/links/etc, in the same way, I can probably do something in the backend to fix the issue in a batch operation. Just let me know.
