2693: Infectious Laugh
As you have probably noticed! We’re doing a massive site overhaul this week (and possibly into next). The long story short is that the site downtime earlier this year was caused by a fundamental incompatibility between our last content management system, Comic CMS and the latest php update. Since Dreamhost removes support for php5 in about a week, this was the time to move back ends — and add in a site revamp at the same time.
You’ll notice some things moving, breaking and being fixed over the course of the next few days as we tweak settings and get the archives re-imported; after the shakedown period, ideally, things will run much more smoothly. Please have patience with us as we get all our content back online, and fix the minor bugs that are bound to crop up here and there as we go.
We now have a comment system on posts and pages! You’ll need to make a (free) posting account, and a user’s first comment will be held in a moderation queue. Once you have a comment approved, however, all your subsequent ones will go through automatically. There is a spam filtering system in place, which I’ll check regularly in case some innocent comments get held. (Sexually crude language or blocks of multiple links will get stopped, for sure.)
Please do bear with us as we continue to unpack the boxes!
Wow, just *look* at all this newness! So cool!
Meeting of likeminded… jinx’es
We can comment now? Sweet!
Been reading this for years, enjoying seeing Princess Dewcup again, and, while it would have been nice to have her return to Arachne, hopefully she and Slissy can hook up 😀
Yes! Comments! As a spam-preventitive, which has been our bane lo these many years, a user’s first comment automagically goes into a moderation queue. Once you’ve had a comment approved, though, all subsequent ones will post immediately. (there are filters for blocks of links and certain words, but I can manually approve those posts if they’re non-spam.)
The new design looks nice. Here’s hoping the rest of the move goes smoothly.
As for the comic, hey, Philip, why don’t you do the right thing and loan Dewcup *your* pants. 😉
Yeah, that’s what a true paladin would do. However, after meeting some paladins who were not very honourable or holy, I have to admit I am already impressed that at least he is being a spoilsport instead of joining the other men in ogling Dewcup.
The new site looks great!
And comment section for each page.
Ouuuuuuu…. 😀
Won’t the comments take traffic away from the forums?
Is this love at first sight, or chaos at first sight?
I suspect that we will find the two destruct-chaos imps inside of each of them like each other more than they like their hosts.
Why not… both? 😀
Hay I like the nifty new site look ! 😉
So happy to be able to comment!
Ew, all human party.
Fairly sure the big guy is a Barbarian, so only technically human 😛
Actually, I think that Goldwolf may be an Elf – I think I saw pointy ears sketched in very thinly underneath his hair.
Hey!
Sorry I missed your birthday yesterday – hope you had a blast.
t!
My first crack at the new comment system. Count me in as a fan of the new design; not having a personal computer at the moment, and running behind on the strip, I’m just getting used to it now.
Congratulations on the revamp of your site, and thanks for the comments option! I’ve been reading this for years, and I love it! 🙂
So many Boobies!
I amend my previous hope: I now hope that Dewcup finds a whole lot of happiness with Slissy, and that they then both go on to catching up with Arachne… 😉
