OK, cool! I'm glad it resolved itself :)

I don't think it was ever a site problem, now. I've noticed now that my computer is having trouble uploading anything, even attachments to e-mails or uploading stuff through FTP. So it looks like it was probably my computer going haywire that caused it.

I've had that problem when uploading, think it was last tuesday. I gave it a CTRL F5 and it seemed ok. Possibly amazon having an episode and blipping at the image store end?

My comic is not found anywhere. Searching on the site shows up with 0 results. Google does not help (mainly because I picked a common name).

Your comic is new. Google will index it soon, don't worry.
I have no idea how the DD search ingine works… maybe it'll be on there soon?
Anyway, the way most people will fin you comic for now is right through your profile:

User privaleged forms and controls should be hidden from anonymous users.
For example, when I go to read a comic and then enter a nice long comment, only to have it go up in a puff of smoke because I am not logged in is a very poor design. The comment field should not show up and in it's place should be a log in form. This way I can quickly log in and never loose my comment!

Spellcheck is not working on the forums here. "asd" isn't showing up as misspelled, nor is spellcheck suggesting corrections.
Using Safari 5.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.5 PPC, and yes, spellcheck works fine on other websites, including DD coments.

Nope. Still not on DD's search.

@ryuuzakitakada
The DD search isn't ever that great for finding stuff anyway, the chief way people will find your comic are through your profile- when you leave a comment on someone else's comic or in the forums people will click your name and look at your profile… if the comment was good or interesting :)
-Also when your comic updates it gets listed on the front page briefly so people see it that way too.
-Google is of course anther way, just wait for it to be indexed…
I don't know when or if DD search gets updated. I presume it WILL happen eventually though. Always keep in mind though that it has never been nor never will be the main method people use on this site for fining comics because they have to know the name to begin with to use the search anyway… Which they wont do if they've never seen your comic before.

@Cyberskull- yes those two things are known and annoying bugs. There's nothing I can do for that stupid first one, which I really hate.
-As for the Spellcheck issue, the reason for that is the silly Javascript BBcode editor layer on the text enter box. Using Firefox and other Firefox based browsers like Seamonkey, the solution is as easy as right-clicking the comment box and ticking "spellcheck"
-Another way would be to turn off javascript, but that's not so easy to do.
-I don't know if you can do the spellcheck thing in Webkit based browsers like Safari, but it'd be worth trying anyway.

An advertisement is covering both the left and right sides of the page. It's blocking a lot of things like the favorites dropdown menu (can't open it) and editing pages

Posted at 11:05AM, May. 26, 2012

I recently made a comic on this site but even though it has been favorited once, and has 2 likes, the pageview is still 0 o.O

Pageviews is broken; it's impossible to tell how often your comic is being read.

i keep getting "502 gad gateway" even though i only use a single tab, thus forcing me to refresh the page several times to view a single comic page before having to refresh several times again to view the next one.
edit; just to post this and to check to make sure it was here, i had to refresh over 15 times, and to make this edit, i had to refresh more than that. this is *really* annoying

Same here. I want to start posting my comic again, but if it keeps up like this I'm just gonna go and get a Tumblr or a ComicPress site. This is ridiculous.

Same here, I've contacted Woweio about it though and apparently a fix is happening.

Posted at 10:06AM, Jun. 2, 2012

Hopefully sooner than later. The 502's on this site have always aggravated me, but this is getting into cartoonish realms of obnoxiousness.

It happens on every page, including things like uploading pictures. I kinda like it, it's like a gamble every time you click a button.

Yes, but in my case if I win, I DON'T set all the things on fire… and I have YET to win.
EDIT: QUICK NOTE - Everytime I post (at least in this thread), the next screen states that there are no messages in this thread. LOVE IT. But not really.

Posted at 11:06PM, Jun. 2, 2012

A full restart was done and the errors fixed.

The "no posts" thing is a bug where the forum returns the NEXT page of that forum thread.
It mistakenly counts AHEAD a page, so it thinks the forum should be on page 34 instead of 33 for example…
So there are "no posts" on page 34. :)

It is irritating but the best fix is to change the page number in the address bar to the right one (minus one) and press "enter", that will take you to the right place lickedy split!

I'm about to change the design of the DD Award to a giant 502…cause that is the most dominant feature of the site.

Posted at 5:06PM, Jun. 5, 2012

Listen to the latest Quackcast where banes and I discus our new horror comic that will make you wet your pants… And it's already the most popular comic on all of DD. :)
The 50…

Posted at 8:06PM, Jun. 9, 2012

Just wondering: In the fix that has been mentioned by Wowio… will it include all the things we have been trudging around like:
The
lack of PQ communication (at least the warning of (0) to exist would be
the thing I am thinking for, for it to mention (1) when there is a new
one; how come requests has it and not PQs which enable more communication inside).
Also the page views and the likes… how will it be worked
in the future and how will that affect the top 10 ranking? (unique
clicks, user likes, etc)
On the search engine… a google internal search would be a good option… many sites use it.

I've been trying since last night to upload a page to my comic and every time I do, I get an error message saying "The Connection was reset." Is there something going on with the site right now? I dunno, it seems like other people are still able to upload, but I've tried like a gazillion times, on three different browsers, and the site just won't let me upload any new pages!

I am now having this exact problem for Bowser's Plan B. It will happily create new pages where I try to but I cannot upload the image file for toffee. I've tried from Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox and even IE7. I have no idea what could be causing the issue, but I'll admit I'm not enormously technical. Any help appreciated, if possible!

Comader Chaos-
I uploaded a test page to your comic here: http://www.drunkduck.com/Bowsers_Plan_B/5396642/
It worked fine.
I'm not sure what the promblem is. Could you try signing out of your account, deleting your cookies and then sliging in and trying again please?
Also, please tryy siging in from another computer and see if you can do an upload Bowsers Plan B from there for me?
