I want to move some old archive comics over, but even when I set the date earlier then today's date, they show up as the most recent comic. What's up with that?

Who knows? ISSA MYSTERY!

Have you tried moving them up/down the list with the arrows? although to do that with more than a couple pages would be pretty crummy...

That's why I love using The Old Control Panel. If you're a fast enough clicker, you can jumper several pages at a time! I'm normally able to jump down about 20 pages... then my finger starts hurting from clicking so much...

That is pretty cool.
They should offer it as an alternative.

Or you can try the "faster" way of re-uploading all of your comics in order from oldest to newest from the get-go. I was foolish enough to start my Duck account with page 60 and worked backwards before I realized what I was doing. Since I didn't want to lose my comments and ratings, I just took to the task of uploading all 59 other comics and going to the task of shuffling them in the control panel. Sucks if you have, oh, 500+ pages, barely tolerable with 60. >.>
