I can't seem to save any of my updates on my comic either. I've tried on firefox and safari on my mac. Both times they don't save. :(

The duck's 12 step program. Post here if you found a bug/design error.
I didn't see this on the list yet skool, but if you copy and paste from something like Microsoft Word, a lot of garbage shows up (example below).
This can be fixed easily by clicking the html button on the text box and deleting all the code that appears before your post, but that is too much work.
Any chance of them just reinstituting BBCode? It may be old fashioned but it works. And you can still have buttons programed to help the people who didn't memorize the tags.
Nasty Microsoft Word Post:
Zeph: Why did you light that bus of nuns on fire, and send
it veering at Ozone, who matrix dodged out of the way, throwing PP into the
way, who dove over the bus, without being grazed, only to fall into a puddle,
as the nun bus now on fire hit a small building full of fireworks ment for the
4th of July?
First off they weren't nuns. They were demons
disguised as nuns. Demons that require human sacrifice. They were on their way
to devour an orphanage. The only way to defeat these nuns is with fire. Now
Ozone, was just a victim of circumstance. He made fun of my ears last week. So
I was still a little pissed and sent the bus in his direction. Ozone of course
learned Matrix Fu from Keanu Reeves. So he was easily able to get out of the
way of the bus. In fact, the bus wouldn't hit him unless it was going 50 mph
faster. He threw PP into the way of the bus because PP had laughed at his
Cossack costume. PP, of course, used his super mod powers to dodge the bus.
However, he miscalculated the landing and got wet. The fireworks? That was just
a coincidence. But it looked pretty.
And that is how I saved American Independence Day from the evil forces of demon
nuns, Iceland, and Australia.
Alright, I'm not one to complain too much about this site but who do I need see about an Ad on my comic that I find objectionable? Because there's an ad for Trojan condoms that I am NOT AT ALL COMFORTABLE WITH. I do NOT want to see spinning animated willy-protectors right next to my comic (which has no swearing or sexual content), and this is just way beyond what I am comfortable with seeing in ads on here. I screenshot it, since it went away when I refreshed the page as I assumed it would, but please someone remove this ad from the network? I do not wish to see it again. :C
It has been two weeks or so since the last bug update. Could we get some info from the programming team on whats up and what youre focusing on?
I understand that the image thing is a priority but i think a lot of us would appreciate small things like pageviews and the favorites list sorted by update being done first. It helps getting the site to function a bit better and keeps the morale up knowing people visit your comic.
Thanks!
I've asked them to update you guys, but since they haven't yet I guess I can share what I know.
They've been doing some back-end things which you can't really see but needed to be done, including admin functionality and server stuff. But the majority of the programmer time being spent, from what I understand, has been working on the stats stuff and also re-importing those images. The logic behind prioritizing those is probably that those things affect every person on the site. Apparently that re-import process can take a while (depending on archive size) and needs to be done (for now) on a more or less individual basis. However the most popular 200 or so comics should have their original images back, if my information is right.
Hmmmm… I hope they continue on past the most popular 200 or so pretty soon. The quality of my images still looks pretty crummy.
And it'll be interesting to see the stats back. I've been pretty curious about those for a while now, and I no longer have my off-site stat tracking to enjoy.
I think the main problem with a mass image re-importing right now is that it would mean shutting the site down for a few days again, since 1. it's a huge data transfer and would slow the live site way, way down, and 2. people editing their comics would mess it up, it's a multi-step backend process, so that kind of stuff would have to be managed. So I think what they're working on (besides doing it at a slower pace to the most popular comics on down) is some method to do it without having it visibly affect the site. They did describe a couple of interim solutions to me a couple days ago but from what I can see none of them have been implemented yet.
I'm going to assume (please don't make an ass out of me) that the following problem is related to the "individual" basis upload of images for webcomic sites Skool talked about, but just incase I'm lodging a complaint about the bug.
So here's the deal. I went to look at Not Ready to Die (Looking for comments and such being that they're not on our UCP's like they used to be), only to discover the comic page didnt load, nor did the background images and buttons.
I came here first to check it…and have since gone t hrough all of my various comic "sites" and found the following:
-TOHS's older pages aren't available now (but future pages are visible)
-Gemutations: Plague has no comic image, but all backgrounds and button images are intact.
-Midnight, Common Ground and Michael are the same as NRTD(No background, button or comic images)
Can someone hook me up with some kind of reason for this? A lot of the buttons backgrounds were loaded into the image locker and from what I see are still there. None of that explains the missing comic images on ALL my titles.
Suddenly everything is back to normal…forgive the earlier freak out! heh…

I'm sure this is the last thing anybody is worried about right now… but I was looking at the tutorials. I came across one that was absolutely terrible and not really a tutorial at all, so I rated it with 1 Star. Previously it was at one star with one vote. After I voted, it was at 3/5 stars with two votes. So essentially when I voted 1 Star it registared 5 Stars, the exact opposite of what I intended. So it sounds like the tutorial voting is messed up.
Yeah, no big deal, but it should go on a list of things to fix, somewhere.
I know there has been a lot of going back and forth about the color scheme and how much it sucks donkey balls.
Can I offer a very simple fix?
One of the problems is that it is hard to see black against the yellow. I have seen many complaints about eye strain.
Though it wouldn't be a perfect fix, how about switching up the two yellos? Having the text on the lighter yellow will help it stand out a lot better. It isn't perfect, I will admit, but it should be simple to change around the colors.

You know, seeing as we use plain white in the reply boxes, we may as well have that for the forums too, I'll ask. The colour is just THAT huge of a deal to people.
-What shits me is the wonky functionality. As an admin on a site I like to be able to know how to use it to do what I need and want to do, here I just don't.

I can't see ANY comics at all. I don't know if it's just firefox or what, but no images are viewable for me.
