Thread "SM's comic advertising workshop" in forum "Tips and Tricks/Support *"

I actually just emailed Shadowsmyst and she said she is going to be doing more reviewing but she's been having issues accessing the site lately, so she's waiting for the changeover to do anything more on the thread.

Scorpion's hit the nail on the head. I was hoping that the site would have switched over by now, but it hasn't. I'm having a lot of issues with loading times with DD and its hard for me to go through archives on DD. if you have a site off DD and want me to do the analysis via email, you can email me (shadowsmyst at Gmail dot com), otherwise, I'll start up again once I can access the duck again with reasonable speed.

Yeah, unfortunately the site won't be changing over til July 1st now (and even then I wouldn't expect that to go without a hitch).

I've done a quick check and none of the comics waiting are on the preview site, but that one is MUCH faster. If someone doesn't have a mirror site, but does have a reasonable number of pages, maybe they would consider uploading their comic on the preview.drunkduck.com site - I think you can upload up to 10 pages at a time currently?

Might have to do that when I get the chance.

Just as an update, I do plan to get to all the comics that I haven't done yet in this list. I've been snowed under the last few months, and before that with drunkduck moving it wasn't feasable to post here. I plan to set aside some time next week on the long weekend to try to get as many of these done as possible. If you want on the list, make sure you sign up before Nov 11, since after that, I'm not sure how much time I will have between here and Xmas break.
