Comic Fury Webcomic Hosting - It's Not That Easy Being Green [DrunkDuck Convalescence Thread]

Well on the plus side they wouldn't change anything even if you did.

wait...

You know I'm no fan of their new website system so take this as best I can give. I guess if you can't change the look of your site much they might as well give you the option to modify it on the page itself. Kind of a neat "benefit" for authors I suppose.

Huh, looks like they did do the compression thing. Looks like they converted all the pngs to jpegs. There is some compression. I still have no idea why they did that. That's such a horrible idea.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

That's weird - not so long ago they were going to convert all the jpgs to png.

Maybe they're going to switch them back and forth every now and then, just to keep people on their toes.

I think Ozone mentioned that they discovered most PNG files were becoming VERY large! Like they had been told would happen countless times. But... yeah...

So my friend visited drunk duck today to see THE DUCK and he saw this.

beautiful

because MOBILE PHONES! THESE THINGS ARE SO IMPORTANT GUYS, even though I'm pretty sure most modern 3g-4g devices can load .pngs and .gifs just fine.

Also it's great to see that they took none of the color scheme suggestions to heart.

edit: really digging how it's taking an eternity to load.

double edit: Cool my username and password aren't working, even though I'm just copy and pasting in the one sent to my e-mail. Great fucking job, geniuses. Nevermind, I got that worked out. I hope Marlowe's second prediction that the site will be dead within a year is true too.

triple edit: hey remember how they said templates would carry over, so if we had them edited we could still use our old templates but not really change them? hahaha yeah fucking right.

I would've had more respect for them if they'd just said "look guys, we bought this site and this is how it's going to be" instead of going through all this fake consultation process bs. They can do what they want with it, but at least have the courage of their convictions.

Edit: custom templates are indeed gone without warning but folks on the facebook pages say they it's ok because they had fair warning! Wowio managed this well by keeping all discussion off the main site - they knew most of us wouldn't sign up to that getsatisfaction thing.

same friend came across something else, holy shit

i like how you can't even have a banner above your comic because why the fuck would I want to decorate my page. nope, just solid goddamn black, maybe change those navigation icons. boy this sure is comprehensive, no wonder they've been bragging about their totally awesome template editing feature

man, kyo is going to be flush with new users

edit: oh you have to go and add a comic header in the edit page, instead of using the template editor. that's dumb.

man this duck sure sounds like a bummer of a web sight

What the fuck? Like my brain registered that when i dipped to the forums but i went partially blind after 3 seconds.

What on earth?

it's Real Bad


Also I'm laughing pretty hard at how they removed my Comic Fury sig. I'm just going to keep editing it back, you dummies. Only took me ten minutes to figure out how, but by gum with this map I drew out, I won't have to worry about getting lost again!

just tried to make a comic, comic avatar thing dosen't work cause it changes the png to jpg and messes up the transparency.

holy lolly

E:i'm guessing all this grey space is for ads?

I went to read my PMQs and it just took me to a page that said "this comic has no pages yet."

My private messages are comics? What?

Btw if you want to log in you have to caps your name like with the preview site log in.

So skullbie does not work but Skullbie does.

Also you can't put spaces between paragraphs on the forums

It's weird.

I suppose the best diversion you could do get out of this mess would to make the front page an image of Precious Roy with the text "Sign up for my newsletter! Suckers!"

That is one colorful turd of a website. A professional web designer would have an aneurysm.
