That may be because of how slow the site is. I've asked Jamey and Keith aboyt clearing that cache thing and seeing if that sorts it out.

I can't seem to save my background color or change any of my settings on the first page of my comic. I've clicked on save and cancel, plus the green box won't close.

What colopur do you want? I can try doing it on your page for you and if I can that might unstick whatever issue is casuing this thing.

Thanks for offering to help me. At the top of my comic page, I added a small header that says Cycle-Bolt. It has a dark gray background. I'd like my white background page to become that same color of dark gray, to where you can only see the words Cycle-Bolt and the lightning bolt. That dark gray color will also make the edge of my comic page disappear. So, I want to add a then black outline for the border. I'm not sure how thick, maybe 1/8" or where everyone can see it. If the size and or color is wrong, we might have to play around with it. Some of the text might have to be a lighter gray color. If you want, just play with it and let me know. Thanks again!

I made the changes :)
The layout mode wouldn't save for me either. I had to deactivate my ad blocker and reload the page and then it worked.

Posted at 8:01AM, Jan. 31, 2014

Thanks a lot!!! It looks just the way I hoped it would.

Posted at 9:01AM, Jan. 31, 2014

Great!
I think it'll work for you too now, as long as you turn off adblock and reload the page. I think.
Turn it on again after though cos the ads can be pretty fierce here!

I'm getting an Internal Server Error just for the DD Awards forum.

Posted at 6:02PM, Feb. 2, 2014

Hi. I'd like to report a… bug? (Don't know how to call it) in my webcomic Wanted Dead or Dead? It seems like the archives from chapter 13 are messed up. From page 10 it shows pages from the actual chapter, that is chapter 14. And I try to edit the pages on 13 and they show up on 14. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

I seem to be having minor problems on BloodBound…. seems all but one of the navigation buttons has disapeared… They did reapear for a day a few weeks ago… but then disapeared again… and I cant seem to put them back.

@Hippie- My PQs were doing that but are fine now. Maybe it was a temporary thing, is it working now? -I don't know the link for that sub forum :(

@MayelV- There's this thing where ppages with the same file name have issue. Could you try different file names and see if that works or was the issue?

@Anubis- This is the fix here:
You can open up the layout mode and edit the image links.
Take out the "http://“ and replace it with ”https://s3.amazonaws.com/" at the begining of the image links.
If you want to update the images you can use an external service like imagelocker I think.

Yep, it's working now. Just temporary, I guess. I figured it would be but posted it here mostly for the sake of posterity.

Posted at 9:02PM, Feb. 2, 2014

Thanks for that Ozone.. and now I have a new background too!

Once again I'm unable to upload pages

Posted at 2:02PM, Feb. 7, 2014

Sooo… my comic is doing the internal server error thing again that was happening last time? I'm rather curious why it does that just to CTV…

Posted at 1:02AM, Feb. 8, 2014

It's because it's popular, simple as that I'm afraid. :(
There's a memory leak (or some such thing), it causes one of the processes to use too many system resources and that gets worse over time.
I just have to get JNP or Jamey Sharpe to clear out the memory cache and things clear up.
I will ask now.

Posted at 1:02AM, Feb. 8, 2014

not just popularity though- maybe it's the size of the archive?
When this happens I get that internal server error when I try to look at my PQs. I've never deleted any so I have a LOT. It takes an age to load them even when the system is working.

Posted at 11:02PM, Feb. 8, 2014

That should be fixed now!

Posted at 6:02AM, Feb. 13, 2014

Everything on the site is loading extremely sloooowwwwlyyy, I get an internal server error when trying to access my PQs and can't upload pages :/

EDIT: Basically the moment I posted this, the site sped up and I was able to upload pages. Hmmmm. Still getting an error when trying to access PQs though.

Posted at 7:02AM, Feb. 13, 2014

I manage t upload a page on lite bites with ease, but Lore… I cannot.

Posted at 7:02AM, Feb. 13, 2014

I've asked JNP and Jamey Sharp to clear the memory cache thingo again. I've noticed problems in the admin area as well- the dreaded 500 internal server error.

Posted at 9:02PM, Feb. 15, 2014

I am still having the issue of whenever I post anew page it replaces the previous 4 or 5 pages. If I try to upload multiple pages only the last one uploads but it still replaces older pages causing me to have multiple pages of the same upload. This has been happening since the first of the year.

@hyperactive comics: Are you making sure that each page has a different file name?

Posted at 10:02AM, Feb. 16, 2014

There is an issue with comic pages (the image files you upload) when they have the same file names as ones that have been previously uploaded. The way you may be able to get around this bug is by making sure each page you upload has a unique file name, i.e.:
Chapter6-page5, chapter6-page7 etc. or comic-page1-12-27-2013, comic-page2-01-03-2014 and so on.

Basically whatever scheme that results in unique file names. :)

I hope that works out!

Posted at 10:02AM, Feb. 16, 2014

I always name each page by whatever page number it is: page 1, page 2 etc..I will try to change it up by adding the date. Thanks!Kevin
