Heh, no problem. Always glad when the ridiculous things I manage to stumble across can be put to good use. ^_^

The duck's 12 step program. Post here if you found a bug/design error.
LOL!
Wow, you noticed that fast, haha, I thought it'd take people a while. ^_^
Unfortunately there's STILL no work being done on that part of the site, so no, the stats are not coming back yet.
What has changed is that I finally figured out how to game the top ten to do whatever I like with it. >:}
Pinky TA was just a test… I can put any comic in there, take any out too… But what should I do with my new found power? hehehe.
Still needs more testing so I'll keep pinky there for a while longer…
Seems the live date is off! I wasn't having as much trouble the last couple times I updated, and setting it to the actual date wasn't causing any update problems since it was usually only a day behind (and where I am is a couple hours ahead of the site's clock). However, it thinks today is November 22, not 23. Its default suggested 21! I had to go back in and edit the date to 22, because all the new comics were stating 22 as the date, and I wanted to update on Wednesday before all the holiday stuff! (knowing the day of the week the site thinks it is might be somewhat helpful…)

I can't change my password…it says that I have, but if I log out it still wants my old password to log in.
@ Amelius- yeah, the defaults are always about 2 days behind, but I'm pretty sure the site updates exactly on time. It's set to PST (-8GMT I think) and turns over at 12am PST, -that also changes with daylight savings.
Does anyone have a copy of the original DD site? Why doesn't Wowio, who have proved totally incompetent here (and BTW, for the record, EVERYTHING I bitched about before the big change happened have been proven valid… there's no way around that, even though a lot of people here, including an admin, attacked me openly and brutally (using foul language) for mentioning them at the time), should just put the old site back online and go away. Is there anyone at ALL who doesn't dream of DD before the big redesign happened?
Anyway, here's a major bug, a huge, important bug. You can't filter IN adult comics on the front page. So, the top 10 is completely wrong… I know for a fact there are at least 3 adult comics in the top 10… even if you ONLY select Adult in the filter, no adult comics are shown. Is Wowio secretly charging money to let people have top 10 comics now? Otherwise, where are the adult comics? Where is the REAL Top 10?
I don't buy for a second that Wowio had big plans but just run out of money. NO company plans projects before having the money in place to carry them out. The site now is EXACTLY like Wowio wants it… it's exactly as they put it up in a faux 'beta' version… that was and IS the site. ALL, ALL, ALL!!!! your suggestions were ignored. ALL.
I came back here to see if things had changed… nothing has. The site is exactly like it was 6 months ago when I left.
How many thousands have left DD now? And how many thousands of us, just like me, checked back in, hoping things had changed so we could come back… and sadly finding nothing at all had changed.
No suggestions applied, no fixes, nothing… The Duck beta was, and was always meant to be, the final website. How many of you feel silly for thinking otherwise now? After you diligently reported your bugs, your site suggestions, your concerns… and they all went straight into the garbage can.
I've given up for good, now, removed DD from my favorites… I'll not return ever again. One top 100 artist gone? Yeah, but there are thousands just like me.
Goodbye DD
Here's a bug that annoys me: When writing a long description and you space to make gaps, it just gets mashed together like one long comment.
And the link system when writing a comment don't work anymore. Example, here's how it used to work Click this link and you could click it, but it doesn't work anymore, you can't even click on it. The only way (that I know) where you can make links, is in the page description.

Anyone else having issues updating, with broken images and such?
@Skool- I dunno, The Republicans might find him too extreme even for them. But you're right, his talent of paining himself as the prophetic underdog hero who always fights for the little guy is right on the money.
If there's a cause he'll rewrite history so he was at the centre of it, leading the way… so very, very, humble.
You know… I'm half tempted to ask Wowio if I can look at their codes, as unlikely it is that they'd respond to that request.
Not that I'm a genius with this sort of thing; I currently only know basic HTML and CSS, atm, but starting next semester, I'm taking an intensive course in advanced web design. Would be fun to see if I could apply anything I learn there to improving this site.

Since Wowio is over-extended, perhaps they'd welcome a sort of internship, provided there's some ground rules (like you might not be able to come into the forums and report: "of COURSE the site doesn't work! there's a hamster wheel in the mix")
Even if it's just (and I don't mean to minimize the work, just indicating that it's only one task out of many) getting a better text writer, or documenting everywhere the color scheme is referenced so it can be changed.
May be contact Lawrence? I think his email is somewhere in the GetSatisfact.
good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well… I'm not trying to get hired by them and as much as I would like to be paid for any work that I'd do, I know that they're in a tight financial situation so I wouldn't expect it.
Me throwing this idea out there is more of me being sick of the site being in this state and wanting to do something about it and as easy as it would be to go away and start somewhere else, I kinda don't want to. I've always liked the community here and would hate to see it go belly up.
At any rate, I have no idea how extensive the code is, how much work it needs and whether or not I could do anything about it. It's really something that I'd need to see first before I could make any decisions.
