Alright, here's a new set concerning being added as an assistant author on a comic.

1) You can only have one assistant per comic. This is not a bug per se, just really farkin' inconvenient and nonsensical.

2) If you join as assistant on a comic, there is no way you can relieve yourself of assistant duty. The owner of the comic is the only one who can kick you off. You cannot kick yourself off once you are done with your assisting. At least I have found no way to do so.

3) If you are assigned as assistant on a comic for the first time, nothing bad seems to happen. However, if you leave as assistant on a comic, then *join again the same comic a second time*, something goes funky with the controls. I know that when I did this, I was unable to access any part of the comic in question except for the "add new pages" control. From the "add a new comic page" control I managed to use the menu to beat my way into other relevant sections of the comic (such as files and layout), however, the little icons that were supposed to bring me directly to things like "html template" or "info" shunted me off to the DD front page instead.

1) This has been suggested in the ideas and suggestions I think.
2) That's been mentioned as well I think.
3) And also mentioned here before.

Still though, they are pretty annoying.

Hm, that third one is kind of new. We knew there was a problem with those controls but couldn't figure out what it was. So you've solved a mystery for us


Thanks for all these bug reports and suggestions, by the way. You've found quite a lot of stuff and it's wonderful to have someone who, by systematically doing their own things, is finding and telling us about all of these. It represents a lot of work.

Sucks that I dunno when any of them will be done though :/

I'm not sure but that problem with being made an assistant a second time sounds like the first time you're given access to the permissions to edit the comic, those are taken away when you're removed as assistant, and when you're made an assistant again, they're not fully restored- probably because it already has some record of them having been removed from you.

Heh, just trying to work it out conceptually... hmm
It's Volte's field. The assistants feature has always been a little spotty.

No prob. By the way, I should ask: should I be listing the Big, Fat, Not In The Big List Of Bugs bugs that I find in the Big List of Bugs thread just for archiving them or something? Or is it okay to keep, for example, that huge honkin' IE list bug I found as its own topic and just assume "one day, someone will look at that" ?

I keep meaning to go back through the forum and compile them all into the main bug list... of course the longer I wait the more there will be for me to do.

However, one list just for IE bugs would probably be more useful/easier to deal with than making a new thread each time, if that's what you meant
