Questions that have popped up...

Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 07:11 PM

Since the site launched, a few questions have popped up, and I thought I'd try to tackle 'em:

@Lonely Goatherd "The RSS link at the top right is broken."

Should be fixed, now! Showin' up for me on Google Reader -- but let me know if there are problems.

@nanitadequatro "(site) won't let me use my Sheldon info to sign up. A bit confusing, but I'll live..."
That's no good. Did you try logging in with your normal Sheldon details…and it still didn't work? If so....e-mail me your details, and I'll see what's happening.

@ taeraresh "There's a typo on the 'cast' page - "press-ganged into a uniqe mission".
…fixed!

….workin' on that. Should be do-able.

@RArcher "Is there anyway to add in the ability to sign up to recieve the Drive Comic on the same email I get Sheldon on? Like maybe a selection form of comics I want to recieve in my profile manager?
Yep! Just do this:
- Log in to the DRIVE site, here: http://drivecomic.com/users/login.html?destination=/forums/drivetalk/
- Then, go to your account info, here -- http://www.drivecomic.com/users/ -- and click the little-little box indicating you'd like to receive "stuff" from DRIVE. (We've made that term un-helpfully un-specific.)

@modlin "I'd prefer it if the forward/back arrows were moved up on the comics, or placed at the top and at the bottom. Or something.
For example, after reading the current Drive comic, I find myself wanting to scroll past the last 'Machito' storyline comics to the previous 'Maker/Continuum' ones to refresh myself, and I have to scroll down at each page to go back again to get to the arrows on my laptop screen."

The good news is there are three ways to navigate the strips, forward and backward. On either side of the strip, you'll see arrows going in either direction. But! Above AND below each strip, in the red bar of links, you'll find links for "First", "Previous", "Next" and "Latest".

Hope that helps!

Dave

It's probably a fool's question, but is it possible to set up a keyboard command to go to [Next]? I just posed this same query on the Halfbakery.

Thank you for all the work - great story and art -
Norman

Given that we've now got a flashback story being told, have we got a list of the flashbacks?

I feel like I've missed something here.

I think it would be nice to be able to just click the comic to go to the next one. (as well as the current buttons)

It looks like you have some weird js font stuff that makes the h1 text appear upside down and backwards in IE9. It's extremely annoying and the only other place I've ever seen this error is schlock mercenary o.o Im guessing that most web developers just test in IE8 since IE9 isn't out yet, but yeah... In chrome the text kinda smooshes together, so whatever weird font hack is making the titles doesn't work very well and doesn't let you select the text either.

Also, the text on this comment form is white with a light grey background, very hard to read =/ And if you're going to allow guest posts, you should get a captcha to slow down spam.

As for navigating the strips, I've always liked being able to click the actual strip to go forward. Would that be possible?

Daaaang Nosh is a great hugger! Hate to get one of his noogies.
