I'm pretty sure that's from a time when the server went down for a while and all stuff not in the older backup was utterly lost. So if you've not got a copy of those pics then we haven't either :(

-Anything posted to the site after the backup, before the server when down was lost at that time.

Hi.
I keep trying to upload more pages and the duck geeks out and turns all white & basic and the pages don't load.
I guess what really concerns me is the new pages are not uploading.

Posted at 7:02AM, Feb. 3, 2013

They don't load at all? Usually that sort of of thing is associated with a temporary bug. I hope that isn't persisting!

Posted at 2:02PM, Feb. 4, 2013

Just wanted to let you all know, sometimes when I log off or after I upload a new page the website just goes ka-put for me and says something like "502: Bad Gateway" It goes away after awhile but just wanted to let you all know

Posted at 8:02PM, Feb. 4, 2013

The 502 or 504 errors seem to be a generalised site issue. The server just goes "phut" for various reasons sometimes, it would only be tangentially related to your activity- i.e. all the extra user activity at certain times make a crash more likley.

The new pages are not uploading.

Hi Shane.
I just tested it and it worked fine on my test account comic:
http://www.drunkduck.com/ozone_tester/

Which of your comics isn't updating?

Posted at 4:02AM, Feb. 19, 2013

Your last page of Cross World Nexxus was set to updated for the 8th of feb 2013 and that worked ok…. So you weren't able to load pages after that?
Maybe that was a temporary error with the site just not connecting to the image server temporarily?

Posted at 10:03AM, Mar. 4, 2013

I'll try again.

Posted at 10:03AM, Mar. 4, 2013

Didn't Work…again.

Hi, I know you guys have no control over this but it's going to be 2 years soon of no comic stats. It's kind of disheartening to know that we are that low on the totem pole.

Posted at 6:03AM, Mar. 7, 2013

There continue to be those of us who love that there are no stats and love not knowing just how tiny our audience is. I am not being sarcastic. My readership is so tiny that seeing the stats on the mirror site is major league depressing.

So here I just imagine a number that would make me happy and that's the number of hits.

So uh, I've run into two problems. One isn't really an issue of function so much as convenience, but the google + bar on my page is persistent in chrome and firefox, all 3 versions of each I have tried through, and no matter how many times I minimize it, it keeps reappearing every time I load anything. In IE 7 it's just permanent. Plus, as kind of a personal thing, I don't particularly like that logging into DD seems to log me into my google account through that tool bar. I don't know if there's a way around this, and it's obviously not as high priority as other issues, but it'd be nice if I could use DD without being logged into google by it or at least be able to leave my google logged in but not have DD accessing it.

The other issue is that for whatever stupid reason I can't see anything on the forums past April 3. I have no means to even check if you guys can see this post. I don't know if it's an issue with my browsers, cookies or what just yet because I don't have a lot of time to look into it on my end, but I thought I'd bring it up at the very least as a possible issue to look into if I can't figure out the issue from my end. Since I don't know if you reply, I'll just have to drop another post when I figure out what my issue is if any.

OK, so the pages not updating thing is a cache issue that you can resolve by deleting your cache, history and all that, then completely closing your browser and restarting it. So that one can be ignored.

Posted at 7:04PM, Apr. 21, 2013

Every time I try to update my comic, I get this error, it doesn't matter which browser I use: http://twitpic.com/cl219p
I'm trying to update for months, now. I couldn't post on the forums, either, but that was fixed a while ago. The pages, however, still don't upload. :/

@lba- Use Adblock plus. It's the only sure fire solution to that crap and actually makes the site somewhat usable without the horribly chosen webslumlord ads.
If it blocks stuff you do need to operate the site, like javascrip of various sorts, you can fairly easily unblock those. Other stuff like that toolbar can be ADDED to the blocklist! :)

@strixvanallen- I have tested your comic and added my own page and then deleted it, it all worked without a hitch.
Have you tried uploading a different image, a jpg file with no spaces or characters in the name? Just letters and numbers?

Posted at 1:04PM, Apr. 22, 2013

Thanks, @ozoneocean. I just erased the hyphen in the file name and it worked. What a crazy thing, it was never a problem before. õ.o
Well, I'll not complain. It worked. xD Thanks very very very very every very much for the help. :3

Posted at 6:04PM, Apr. 22, 2013

That's fantastic news! :)
I don't know why things start and stop wprking around here either, but I'm glad that works now ^_^

Posted at 5:04PM, Apr. 26, 2013

There seems to be a bug on the right side of The Duck's home page … there's a box that reads "From Our Partners" rather than reading "From Our Uncaring Overlords".

Posted at 8:05AM, May. 7, 2013

Allright. FINALLY I managed to recreate that damn error. This is yet another frigging bug that I'm encountering on this site.

It seems that when I want to make multiple quotes in a single thread, and include a different form of a bbcode, somewhere inside the post, the contents of the first quote will dissapear and the qoute balloon will wrap around the rest of the post.

You can see how the post is supposed to look like, by quoting this post and going into HTML mode.

Oh, you.
Btw, this text shouldn't be inside a quote baloon.

Hi there. I keep getting 500 Internal Server Errors when trying to upload new comics today. I would sometimes get these errors in the past if I had any slightly unusual characters in my filenames, but there aren't any such characters with the comics I am currently trying to upload… the most "out there" character is a "_", and those are pretty integral to the internet in my experience…

Posted at 1:05PM, May. 9, 2013

I'm also getting a 500 error when trying to post a page. Also the home page isn't fully loading, it gets stuck at Quail's Random and doesn't load anything below that. (Using old Firefox on an older Mac.)

Posted at 8:05PM, May. 9, 2013

I'm getting the 500 error too. Updated Firefox.

Posted at 10:05PM, May. 9, 2013

Sounds bad. I'll look into this when I get home from work :(

Posted at 12:05AM, May. 10, 2013

I get internal errors.
