Wake me up when we're ready to roll.
Is there an estimate for when we'll be able to post pages again? For those of us who still can't, I mean. For that matter, do we know why we can't post pages?
Lawrence couldn't speak to us yesterday, hopefully we should be talking again to him tonight.

Skool and I have had no updates since we spoke to him last on Tuesday. We're not sure what's happening.

You've both got comics that were created after the 13th of January right? These are the ones with the update issues. The only temporary solution I know is to make a new comic account and post in there in the mean time- change your author notes to tell people you're posting in there till your account is fixed.
That is a super crap solution, but it's the only thing I can think off to keep comics going for the time being.

-If your custom HTML saves you can change you template to put in an auto redirection to your currently updating comic, and when the issue is fixed just put the auto-redirect code on the new comic and go back to updating the old one again.

-Normally we frown on auto-redirects, but in this case if it's only to another DD comic (instead of to an outside account) and just to get around this current issue, then it's perfectly ok.

I started my madness combat comic AFTER this happened. Is it safe then?

If you can update ok then there's no issue Mettaur.

Just spoke to Lawrence. He says they're re-implementing the fix to try and make comic uploading work again for post Jan 13th comics.
He's working all weekend on this to try and make it work.

Thanks ozoneocean.

I think I'll hold out a bit cause I don't want to lose my stats and comments. Those are precious to me.

But I might bite the bullet in a few weeks and just start from scratch.

Thanks again.

Same here. I'd feel like a dick if I deleted all the comments people have left on my comic. I'll wait for a solution (with the hope that it won't be too long).

It's been too long already.
Thanks for your patience guys!

Fortunately for me the one comic still affected is one I haven't had the time to update so the break isn't harmful but for those putting all their energies into one comic it must be frustrating.

tried to access DD (through www.drunkduck.com) today and got a forbidden access message. Went through my comic and was able to access the site fine.

Not sure if this is a known issue or not… or even if its temp (cause they are working on it), but figured I'd post about it.

I can't open any comics currently. It gives me a 'fatal error- unknown' message on all of them.

Aye, confirmed.

Looks like my problems are fixed, or at least it appears that way to me. Would anyone mind checking Modest Medusa to see if I missed anything?

Yes. MM loads for me fine.

Thank you for your patience waiting for this to be fixed! We're very, very sorry for that! I'm glad you guys stuck around!

I just got an email from Lawrence this morning to say that Dan had fixed the issue finally.

I see one problem left though: My faves aren't loading in my sidebar.
Anyone else have that?

Mine aren't either, but I'm willing to let that go for the moment!

Which version of Firefox are you using?

So far these are my results for the sidebar dropdown:

MyFavourites-
-Does not work in any browser.

MyComics and Latest News
-Works in:
Firefox 3.5 and Firefox 4,
As well as the Webkit browser (based on Safari) on my Android 2.2 phone, and the version of Opera that's running on my phone.

-Doesn't work in:
Seamonkey 2 (based on Mozilla coding like Firefox), Internet Explorer 9, and Internet Explorer 8.

No idea, my mums computer and I'm not there to check it right now.

Got a parially functioning sidebar on my end. "Latest News" is displayed and "MyComics" but not "MyFavorites".

Also dealing with a very slow duck today.

Currently using a computer at school, with IE 8 installed. Wish I was using one of the computers that I regularly use cause I've installed Firefox 4 and Chrome on those and thus could have checked them out as well. Will probably check those browsers later, when I return home.

Whoohoo! Kombat Kubs Returns is now working!

Uploading all those pages AGAIN wasn't exactly what I was planning on doing tonight, but barring any more major catastrophic events I prolly won't have to do it a fifth time.

I hope.

Anyway, thanks for all your hard work guys.

Thank goodness your comics are back now! I asked Lawrence about them specifically last night. Good to see them going now!

The sidebar dropdown is now working for me in Seamonkey 2, and IE9
I haven't checked IE8 yet, but I assume the MyComics and Latest News dropdowns are workig on all browsers now.

But MyFavourites still aren't loading on any.

I can bring up the My Favorites in Firefox 4.

Glad to see most of this is getting fiexed up finally. :]
