This post contains spoilers for comics 286 to 289!


*Homepage*

"Hmm, page 289 is up..."
*click*

"Before I check this one out, let's see if I had seen the previous one..."
*click 'previous comic' button*

*Scans the pictures*
"Hey, an evolution to Kakuna... Guess Sting evolved..."
*click 'previous comic' button*

"Sting being attacked..."
*click 'previous comic' button*

"Ah yes, this is where I left of."


Suspense is now completely ruined >_>

That's why you use the "tag comic" button. Press first, then go to the tagged comic. Presto! Problem solved.

Ha ha, sorry.  On my computer when I have already read a comic, it's surrounded in a purple border.  New ones will be in blue.  So that's how I keep track . . .  Also if you hold your cursor over it, it'll show you what date it went up so you can see if there was already one earlier that date.

Heh, but I understand your point.  I like to give fair warning before a double update and I wait a few hours before the second page goes up.  But it's hard to make sure everyone sees it first all the time.  I apologize.

I'll give you that the tag button is usefull, but more then that I also find it highly annoying to use it each time I visit the site.
Hoovering the cursor over the comic also isn't very practical, because then I'd still look at the comic and have the same problem as mentioned before.

Beyond that I also don't see the use in making several updates a day, since it makes your buffer run out quicker.

I haven't noticed a problem with hovering myself usually.  The picture is so small I can't tell what it is . . . but personal preference.

I may run out of buffer faster, but I also can get through this dang chapter faster.  We need to get it finished so I can start the next chapter and have it finished by the 23rd!  The Christmas Special requires it!

^ Heheh, that's your own fault for having a life and not being able to draw 5 comics a day (;

Also, about the mouse-hoovering thing... that actually doesn't work for me.... might have something to do with me using Internet Explorer instead of something else though (or just sucking and hoovering above the wrong thing, which I wouldn't put beyong myself d:). I also have no idea what you mean when you say "The picture is so small I can't tell what it is . . .", which makes me think even more that we're talking about a different thing d:. Prt Scr SysRq is required here hahah.

I'm using Internet Explorer as well, actually.  And I mean when you look at the comic profile page and it shows the six thumbnails of the recent pages.  They're usually small enough that it's hard to tell what is in them, but you  might not have been talking about that.
