Just to clarify, the one having trouble is the test account, yes?


OK, I think what the problem here is that you're trying to edit a template. The problem is happening because the dynamic things on the comic pages (like the back and forward buttons, the comic page itself, the author's comments, and a bunch of invisible stuff) are controlled by little tags in the page code called DD Tags. <!--They are formatted like this--!> They're a scrap of fake code that you use when you're making the page, which replaces REAL code, so when the web page is uploaded to Drunk Duck, DD's computer sees those tidy, fake codes and replaces them with the real stuff, which looks like a bunch of junk to most people.

Now if you were to go into your comic's control panel and pull out the code from the very basic default template, it would have those DD codes in it (I think). But when you go to get the code for the templates, you only get the REAL code... which won't work when you re-upload it because DD can't process it to make it dynamic. That's why it gets stuck on the same image, links don't work, etc.

Make any sense? :/

What needs to happen is for you to start with the Mallard Red template WITH the fake codes - but the site won't give you that, and it's kind of a pain to take the finished page and exchange all the junk for the fake stuff. You'll need someone who is more experienced with the templates and who has a bit of time on their hands to go through "de-engineering" it. (If you find them and they do, have them tell us too so we can put the code up for everyone!)
