@lonnehart, if i saw someone possibley cheating on their significant other, while they're away do to military obligations, i would be in such a FURY, it would be COMICal.
But on a serious note, i think that's the lowest form of cheating. i would punch them right square in the face.

This is so comical it makes me furiously happy.
Seriously, check it out!

Wow. I seriously woulldn't hold my breath for them getting any customization tools right if they can't even get a simple text editor right.
(Pssst: hey kid, wanna edit some HTML?)

Oh Salsa, I can feel theArtistic Ragebuilding at your Furiously Comical actions

Too much rain… can't sleep… can't wait for that typhoon north of me to finally go away and take its rain bands with it…. they sound pretty horrible. If I could afford it, I'd take a vacation in Austraila. But I'd probably wear steel wire woven clothing. I've heard that the pickpocketing is pretty bad over there… and that the pickpockets have the ability to steal your underwear without you becoming aware… while you're WEARING it. O_O

Really? Australia is known for pickpocketting?

Learn something new every day!

I say, if you're really worried about it, carry lots and lots of beer cans in your bag, so potential pickpocketters get distracted and take the beer instead of yo' money.

Well, I remember reading that it was pretty bad in Sydney some years ago. Not sure if that's still true, though. The Discovery Channel did something on it. That place has nothing on Peru though… the kids don't care if they strip you down to your underwear as long as they can get to your wallet. And a whole gang of them can be pretty fast in cutting all your clothing off.

Oh wow, there is a seedy underbelly to Sydney that I never knew.
I still think you'd be alright though, it just depends on here you go. You've just go to stay away from the seedy areas like Kings Cross and Vicotria street which are the crime centres of Sydney.

Nothing on Melbourne though. That's the crime capital of Oz.

That's why I tell all visitors to never. EVER. Go to the western suburbsof Melbourne. That's where all the bashings of Indian Students occurred several months ago.

I just recieved a rather large (or at least large by my standards) commission and was discussing the details with my client. One of her characters is “the son of ghost rider” and I had to ask an obvious yet awkward question; “Does Ryder have a flaming skull head?”
I haven't gotten a response yet, but if he does, I should have charged her more. ) : These are Monster High original characters and I'm drawing them in-style… not only have I never drawn a dude in this style before, but there certainly aren't any skull-headed characters to reference from. I know I can pull it off, it's just going to take extra effort.

Ugh… I guess I'll try to sleep again and work on my first “SSS” comic tomorrow. Called “The Mushroom Fairy”. No… it's not the kind of mushroom fairy that makes your mind go all weird. I just hope I can finally get to sleep soon despite all the heavy rain I'm taking at the moment due to the typhoon that's north of where I"m at…

As far as I know, no one's deleting posts that mention Comic Fury. If someone's post was deleted it was probably some random bug? I feel like a post I made in this thread last night has gone missing too, I'm sure I made a post reiterating that the image compression was NOT intentional and they are looking into it.

As long as the "Hey guys, comic fury comic fury comic fury!! doesn't get out of hand I don't mind if people say they are going there or whatever. If DD is losing site members to its competition because of perceived inadequacies, fair enough. (Fair warning though, no threads solely to advertise comic fury.)

Salsa: This text editor is actually some open-source third party thing they've plugged in. The only things that are actually broken are the quoting formatting and line breaks. If they could get those working it'd be okay.

So basically it's been tacked on (from my point of view). Are they taking note of the comments on the color scheme? I'm kinda getting tired of having to wear sunglasses while reading this forum. ow…

I had no idea you could hide your quotes. Or is that part of the malfunction? Works like those spoiler tags though.

Not looking forward to work tonight. Because eventually that woman's husband will come back, find out what happened while he was away and… Let's just say when stuff hits the fan, I have to clean it up… or call the local police in to do it. And I'm not keen on doing either… And he'll probably ask me what I know about the situation. I'd play dumb, but I feel obligated to tell him as much as I know and…


Yeah… and that's why I'd rather run away than see this sort of mess. -_-

I dunno what you mean by hiding quotes, I'm guessing whatever you're seeing is not supposed to be happening.

People have been complaining about the colors from day 1. For whatever reason their designer has been very resistant to changing it. Because everybody knows the first version of a design is the best one! We've constantly asked them to change the forum colors especially, but no, it's always “That's a low priority, it's easy to adjust later.” Then adjust it now!!! Sorry, it's one of the few things I'm completely frustrated with them about. They haven't even darkened the text to increase the contrast like they kept telling us they were going to do. I'm glad people are complaining about it becasue the more complaints they get the more “important” it becomes for them. (I suspect most designers subscribe to a “if it's really bad, lots of people will complain” mentality.) Generally speaking they've said they plan to implement “user customization” features including probably an ability to make the pages different colors, but to me that sounds like a very low priority thing looking at the other stuff they need to do.

Trust me this is now how I want to spend my vacation time, spending hours a day looking at these forums with Oz travelling for a month and not able to help very much. I know how you feel about wanting to avoid rather than do what you're supposed to. :]

Also- is anyone else getting slightly wrong formatting on this page, after the 3rd post? The posts stop fitting in the column and push out to the right, and mess up the sidebar and the various page buttons placements.

Yes, I'm getting exactly the same effect. There are rocky outcrops like that all over the site though.
If anything I think they're more likely to make the text lighter, so nobody can read our constant complaints and references to ComicFury.

thanks everyone for bringing rage comics here.
—
the only thing that's really annoying me about people leaving or having certain issues is that they keep making their own threads for it.
could we just make one forum so they can complain there?
“Whine about bugs in the new site and say you're leaving because of them Forum”
…
…

“I'm going over to Comic Fury Forum”
…
…
“I am the 1337 Master Forum: ONLY TALK ABOUT HIS LORDSHIP”

It would be neat to have a list of all the people who are leaving, and to where.

Would it really be neat? At least we know that Jake Richmond is leavin- oh wait ;)

Anywhos I was going to post somewhere “ Halp, cant favourite new comix!!?!?!” But then I found out and actually started to miss the old favourite button :/

@Leet
We haven't left yet because we're trying to get as many people over to CF as possible, and quite frankly we're succeeding, CF forus looks more like DD than these ones do now. If you saw your friends on a sinking ship you'd want to throw them some life rafts.

…NO!!! You CAN'T HAVE MY BRAINS!!!

No I don't care about the recruitment. CF is pretty cool (minus the couple trolls but…well…dicks will be………..

…ducks….)
*facepalm*

But yeah, go if you must. I'll see you guys on both sides of this internets. :)

I see… so I'll go ahead and take off my sunglasses, let my eyes burn a bit, then go to my eye doctor to get my eyes examined and if they determine that the damage was caused by the colors on the forums I'll launch a lawsuit at the designers. Do you think that will force them to make the color fix THE top priority?

i'm entirly unsure about how to go about this other then spamming but after all this ‘burning my eyes out’ gets fixxed i wanna try to get these forums active again. i mean, this was one of the major things that made dd great and now that they've completly soiled it i hope they've learned their lessons that they're just some jokers getting a paycheck for doing a crap job because obiviously they know what's best right? and that their subpar effort (c'mon, how many times have you duped us with stupid ‘whoops not that one, it’ll be the next door fer' sure' tactics) actually gets them negative results. who would want to come and stay at a comic site like this? after the first 5 minutes of ohhing and ahhing even the most simple of people can tell that this place is too annoying and hollow to bother with.

i really like dd and this just bugs me so much. i don't wannna leave and i'm willing to try to help however i can (not that i'm a coder or anything useful like that) but this right now is goddamn awful. it seriously makes me want to cry

Our hearts will go on. (you tube embedding - *sigh* - another victim of the clampdown).

Does anybody have any good recommendations for webcomic hosting sites? I mean, Drunk Duck was always my top choice because of its volume and variety and community and such. But things seem to have gone sour since the big transformation.

I suggest we all bear with the changes for a little while. The Duck is probably going through some hatching difficulties… I think it somehow lost its egg tooth and now it's having a hard time getting out of its shell.

drunkduck is demon possessed. hahaha. :)

you know, there's always Not Comic Fury

Ugh… wasted half my day half asleep in bed instead of drawing. But now I can barely draw a line without falling asleep at the desk, and I have no desire to wake up with my keyboard imprinted all over my face. And I tried loud noise using my earphones, but that made me feel even more sleepy while keeping me from falling asleep. blech…

ugh… better get off the forums for now. Half asleep, the forum is bight and my eyes are hurting again…

You can check out http://www.webcomichosting.com for a little list. However, there's nothing wrong with having a comic in multiple places. :] I know things are a bit chaotic right now, but I hope I am right in thinking that there are a number of people who may be looking at other places right now but are still keeping DD in mind for after the dust settles.
