I'm hoping it will all be fixed. :] Looks like they've got a lot of things to take care of though.
OK, it's 2pm on a Saturday and I haven't had a shower or eaten yet, just been doing DD stuff since 9:30am, time to go. :I
OK, I just tried putting a link to a DD comic (wait, are we still calling it DD?), and it doesn't work properly, the URL ends up being soemthing like "http://../Heroes_Alliance"
Come to think of it do forum links work?
Read Heroes Alliance!
EDIT: Nope! Another problem to fix!
Okay, I just want to make sure I am clear here-
Am I correct in thinking the data on my forum will deffinitely carry over to the new site?
I've saved a lot of the stuff on there, but a vast amount will be lost if I cant get it back.
Is there any sort of date for when forums will be back up? The readers of my comic make a lot of use of my forum and are really chomping at the bit for the forum to return.
Oh. I just wanted to mention this. It has only happened once, so I'm a bit nervous about it. When I first tried to log in when the site went up, I switched to IE tabbed browsing within my firefox browser. The front page said, "Welcome Rokulily" (and it had her avatar). I'm not one to take advantage of that sort of thing, so I logged off quickly. It hasn't happened again, but it does concern me.
A few more notes:
- I'm actually able to edit my layout in Firefox. Sometimes I have to refresh the page to actually see what has been changed, but if you visit my comic you'll see it works. To put at least one thing positively, I think the page editing functions are rather clever, even if they don't allow the customizability that we used to have.
- I've been able to create links to other comics in my "Edit Comic" settings, but these links do not appear anywhere on the comic page. The same can be said for additional subpages. I created "Cast" and "About" pages, but links to these do not show up from the main comic page.

I can't upload a comic page!!! I'm new to the duck and I just got an account am I using the wrong image file do you accept jpgs? or is it just a glitch?
-confused user
the error message says request entity too large! it's frustrating I can't even post the FIRST PAGE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
When linking to my comic in Firefox 5.0 using my domain name, "http://www.greeningwars.com" I get sent to a sort of "index limbo" with the address "http://www.drunkduck.com/comics/T/The_Greening_Wars/" instead of where the domain name now points, "http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Greening_Wars/".
This does not happen in Internet Explorer, which links properly to the new location, and in Firefox directly typing in "http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Greening_Wars/" also takes me to the proper location. It seems to be an issue of the combination of the domain name and Firefox, with something in the protocols getting lost in translation. ^^;
With all these real problems this seems like a waste of time to mention, but has anyone else noticed that the uploaded date for all the comics are now off by one day?
Also do you know if we'll get our comics stats back? Yesterday when I checked them it said all my comics were created on July 6th and had 0 views.
I got my headers to upload, but I can't get anything into my image library.
Not to mention that the new layout features are not all that inuitive.. or probably wouldn't be if they worked.
There was a list somewhere of what wasn't working yet when the site went live, anyone know where that wound up? Anyone want to reproduce it here?
abrahamlincoln wrote:Yep. Had that issue too. The usernamebar is case sensitive, so you have to watch out how you write your name.
How about not being to log in?
That might just be a damn problem.

You know, not to be a narcissist or anything here, but all of the trophies are gone. I see there's a place for them. I have had at least one comic featured. Am I going to get my trophies back?
I'm doing fairly alright. Liking the features of the new site. The few problems I'm having in chrome though that I havent' seen mentioned yet is
1) I can edit everything on my site except for buttons
2) It's telling me comics are updating when they aren't (for those who miss the recently updated asterix, I usually just click the drop down list and sort by recent posts)
3) for some strange reason I'm finding it incredibly difficult to highlight images in my library though I do like the new "hover for preview" feature.
and 4) on my profile all the comments are comments I've posted on other's profiles
On top of these I have the afore mentioned problems like comics losing their forums, occassional error messages, flying monkeys taking over the world, etc
All in all I'm excited to see this fixed up and running smoothly. It's a big upgrade and looks great =)

Tantz/Harkovast: […] but the comic page customization is currently limited to whatever you can do with that "activate layout" link.
It's unfortunate that they promised it initially and turned out not able to deliver. A lot of people are disappointed (or more…) about the HTML anyway and that doesn't really help, especially after some people went to extra effort to impliment things they thought would carry over.
So tell me- will it be possible to add my extra info pages and so on, or will it be strictly the pages of the comic and whatever is available in the 'activate layout' thing? Meaning that I won't be able to stack my buttons on the left and have my stuff available as before?
Also, what about the info that there was in the comic's forum? I thought those would transfer over.
AND- what about the bug that isn't letting me save the formatting changes???

On a Mac (OS 10.5.8) running Firefox (5.0.1) the layout of the site is all messed up. Buttons are not aligned. Text bleeds over images making it unreadble. The Manage Pages page is a total unusable mess of unaligned buttons.

I am also using the latest version of Firefox and it still doesn't work for me. I can make changes, but they do not save. You click the SAVE button and the box doesn't go away. When you refresh or Deactivate Layout Mode, it's back to the way it always was.
Is there some magic trick I'm missing, or is the SAVE button supposed to SAVE your changes?
