Anyone that was having a problem uploading HEADER IMAGES OR COMIC THUMBNAILS, please try so again. We're testing to see if a fix worked.

Maybe I'm just having a bad day, but I haven't been able to get PQs sent out with Firefox or Chrome. I didn't have trouble before.
-edit- Got my banners up.

Yeah PQ's were disabled like 20 minutes ago temporarily. We're working on importing all the old ones into the new site.

For the first time, navigator buttons and header image worked!

This is actually That kid yellow.I had to make this bogus account to give my battle cry. I cant get into my old profile at all. This happens when I actually finished up my first issue for Dome Busta. Someone help me!

How do you up load a new page?

Posted at 10:07AM, Jul. 22, 2011

Newway12- expand the "my comics" there on the right, then click "edit" next to your comic. You'll see a "pages" button like there used to be a pages tab.

OK, well the site is sort of working again for now, so I'll see about updating that first post tonight with the current bugs/fixed stuff! :I

Hey everyone,

So obviously the site has been impossible to log into for the past few days. It basically required a scouring of all the code on the back-end, but we think we figured out what the issue is. It was essentially a server issue.

Anyways, please report any lingering functionality issues as soon as you encounter them, so we can make sure nothing else has been adversely affected by this semi-downtime. Thanks.

You know what would be nice? For comics with multiple authors, it would be wonderful if we could differentiate which author is leaving the author notes. And by that, I mean being able to actually control that from page to page.

Hi guys, glad you've got log-in and uploading problems fixed, but I've got a new one for ya:
I usually keep a couple of days ahead with my comic, but strips I'm uploading ahead of time are going live immediately instead of when they are supposed to. Case in point:
Tomorrow's comic strip, today!
So, yeah, unless you've suddenly switched to Australia time or some such, I think that's a bug.

You may have missed the explanation from Tuesday's newspost, but future updates will appear on your comic page FOR YOU. No other user can see those future pages currently. Please try logging out and visiting your comic to confirm.

I apologize profusely! I will pay closer attention next time. >_<

I just added header images to both your comics and it seems to have worked okay. My guess is the issue is browser related. Are you using Chrome?

I don't mean to be harsh, srhdt, but I don't imagine most people are willing to switch browsers just to get one website to work properly. So "use Chrome" isn't really an acceptable fix.

Posted at 1:07PM, Jul. 22, 2011

Ok this is crazy. I still cant get in my old profile as that kid yellow. Whats going on? I need to start posting again. Do you need some proof its really me?

You've completely misinterpreted my post. Of course "use Chrome" is not an acceptable fix. I identified the possible source of his problem (browser-related), and asked him to try uploading his header on Chrome in order to confirm whether or not it was actually a browser-related issue. It's entirely possible that his issue is NOT browser-related, which is why I asked him to test it.

I wasn't telling anyone to switch to Chrome. Obviously we're continuing to work on making all the functionality on the site behave correctly across all the major browsers.

You were kind of harsh, by the way.

Are you able to use the password reset feature? If you need me to I can PM you the email address linked to "that kid yellow" account.

I have a suggestion for the visible future pages. While I do enjoy being able to see unpublished pages in the archive (it's actually very handy!), I still very much wish that the index page on our comics would default to the current PUBLISHED page. And then we can simply click "next" to navigate to pages that aren't available to readers yet. It's very disorienting as an author to log into my own comic and see a page that hasn't been released yet.
Oh, I was going to start a new thread onthe forums about cool suggestions for the new website, such as the one I just made, but…
I CAN'T START A NEW THREAD!!!!
Forum broken.

Thanks for reporting this. The other issues that we're currently aware of and are working on right now: down arrows don't work when re-ordering comic pages, and you can't currently send PQs.

No, I've got two PCs in my house one is running Windows XP and the other Windows 7, and both are using Firefox 5.0 as the internet browser. Also, Hippie Van is correct in that I really don't wish to switch my browser just for this one site, nor do I really feel like just downloading it just to test the problem, but I guess that's it b/c if you did indeed add my headers to both my comics, I'm not seeing them show up anywhere with Firefox.

I removed them after about an hour because I didn't think you would want a strange header image on your comics. If you don't want to test the header issue on another browser, that's your call. I'll be sure to announce in this thread when we've resolved the issue on Firefox.

Oh, O.K. Then. Yeah, I'm sorry, but I really don't want to load up my computers with additional browsers. So, I'll just wait for when it gets fixed on Firefox. Thanks for your help.

Just a note. When uploading links with images on the 'Manage Links' page; it does not list them in the order that you upload- and doesn't sort them alphabetically by title, or give you an option to reorginize. It seems random. It is rather frustrating when you are trying to prioritize links that lead to other social networking and media sources.
