Resident Idiot posted:For what it's worth, Retail disappears maybe a third of the time and Popcorn almost never comes through. I appreciate your posting though, and I read enough Retail during its first run. Oy. Two days after I switched over to Imgpile, too. Excuse me while I dig myself a hole.

Odonata posted:Alas, no. I'm browsing on Chrome and almost always have to reload the page when I get to Darthemed's posts to get all the images to appear. Never happens with anyone else. When I'm on the tablet, sometimes Popular Comics doesn't load, and far more rarely Retail doesn't load, but I never have that problem anywhere else. That's just my crummy tablet though, no one should be making hosting decisions based on that. I've mentioned before how I like to skip comics via technical snafu every so often to simulate the feeling of not reading the newspaper for a day or two and still trying to figure out what's going on.

ellie the beep posted:oh poo poo so THATS where out our way went; i havent seen it since you switched apparently  Anyway, I'm glad you told me, because if I don't hear anything I have to assume that everything's working perfectly for everybody. And seriously, if anyone else ever gets a blank post from me, please let me know immediately. Although now I'm kind of curious what the major failure was, if some image hosts are getting geoblocked in certain regions (like our  situation) or if there's a technical glitch that's killing things dead.As for ditching imgur, I give up. This whole canary in a coal mine gig is getting to be a real drag, so I'll just wait for an actual consensus choice. Anyway, you've suffered through my nonsense long enough. For those in the affected regions, here's the OOWs you should've seen the last two times it failed to show up.

I'm having that "did my brain really stop working?" feeling.) It's a weird joke because it works equally well with "Dromedary" or "Bactrian". If the camel on the right is a bactrian, then his second hump is misshapen. If he's a dromedary, it's a weird growth. I think you're right though, it works better the other way.

The joke is that Left Bactrian thought that Right Bactrian was a dromedary because the grossly misshapen swelling of one hump made it overlook the second hump at first.

With how much the vacationing couple won't shut the gently caress up about Muddy Boots and not being happy that their favorite artist is finally doing some self-improvement, I was really looking forward to them being in peril. Shows what I know for expecting something out of Rex Morgan.

I've seen every Retail and Out Our Way just fine.  Rex Morgan continues to punch above its weight.  Mark Trail remembering two months later that maybe it should tell a story. Schwarzwald posted:Sorry haters, but Blind Alley is good. Sure, it's fine slice of life. The problem was when it dropped a set up strip and then ignored its own efforts for 50 strips before teasing a plot again.

Rhymes with Orange Get Fuzzy 4/24/03  Brenda Starr 11/6-8/50    Smokey Stover 4/11/54  Everyday Movies 5/6/36  "You've been losing weight, haven't you, Doug?" "Yeah, my wife's on a diet." Invisible Scarlet O'Neil 5/5-7/41  The circus owner also mentioned a miserable clown as part of the list of problems, but it looks like Scarlet won't get around to helping him. Maybe he's gone to a therapist who's telling him to go see this hilarious clown to get his mind off his troubles. The airport being built in DC in 1941 would become Washington National Airport, which was later renamed to gently caress Ronald Reagan National Airport, although they leave the first word off maps and such in deference to people's sensibilities.

Yeah same here. Usually I blame it on a spotty internet connection but it’s always Retail when it happens. As far as I can remember it’s just been with imgpile though. How difficult is it to host images from an actual imgur account, instead of anonymously? Last I remember hearing those are still safe.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Iirc it's not so much the using an imgur account as it is the effort of having to go back and put all those previous images onto that account That's being taken care of as we speak. Never underestimate the power of goons. tl;dr, astral has provided a list of every single imgur link on the live forums, goldmine, archives, etc, and we've set up a massive volunteer parallel downloading operation. Meanwhile, the admins are coming up with a way to host all these images locally and then do a great big find-replace on millions of old posts to point to the images' new home. If all goes well, this will be done well before Imgur's drop-dead date and all of our comic strips and dickbutt edits should be just fine. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4030517 For the future, yeah, I'd suggest creating an actual Imgur account; those seem to still be safe. And for the farther future, Jeffrey and company are planning a big upgrade to the file attachment system which should make external image hosting unnecessary.
