Ah, just checked guts and if i wanted to change the comic title image on that comic i could'nt either. Just no option available.

maybe this crazy computer im using has some strange security thing going on thats preventing it? Oh, i dunno.

Bloody thing..

That sounds bad... What browser are you using?
Not the new IE 8 is it? I hear that one doesn't work with a lot of web coding that IE always did previously... That could possibly be the problem?


Ok, I tried the comic account experience in SeaMonkey 1.1.15 (Mozilla), Internet Explorer 7.0.6001.18000, and Firefox 3.0.7 (Mozilla)
-all on Vista SP1

I could update the stuff on all, but it was slightly different on IE7. On the two Mozilla browsers I had a box for the image location next to a nice shiny "browse" button with a "send" button bellow. In Firefox the "send" button was shiny too, but in SeaMonkey it was a dull rectangle.
In IE 7 however BOTH the "send" and "browse" buttons were both dull rectangles and there was NO little box for the file path of the image.
But pressing the "browse" button took me there anyway.

So in whatever browser you use, there is no "browse" button at all?

Yeah, no browse button at all.

i did update the browser recently. I guess it was IE8 then. I just kinda clicked ok when it came up. Damn, that was dumb.

so theres no way round it, i gotta re-install what i had before if thats possible...

thanks for the help btw :)

No worries.
Well IE8 will get updates that will eventually fix the problem on their end. But in the mean time you could just download and install firefox for that task. It's very easy and will save you a lot of trouble :)

I downloaded firefox and everythings cool now. :)

Thanks for the help ozoneocean.

Ok, I figured out what was making my thumbnail say E instead of M, and now it says M.

My new problem is that my comic (Dear Juliet) is Horror/War but the thumbnail comes up as Fantasy. I've messed with the options and the thumbnail and done basically everything I can think of, but nothing is working.

Any ideas?

It will just take a while to update. There's nothing to do except wait. The image server that does that processing is SLOW.

The ratings on my comic thumbnails say Teen and Everyone, while both are actually rated as Mature. A little help for changing the ratings on the thumbnails, please?

The thumbnails sometimes take a while to update. Sometimes, uploading a new thumbnail will force the change. :] I just checked your profile though and they both say M.

My Comic Thumbnail, for all 3, has the fantasy image in bottom left when neither three are fantasy. Anyway to fix this?

Your question was answered just 2 or 3 posts above by ozoneocean.

oh lord, I feel like a fool now. But my other comic, the 8 page one has been like that ever since i uploaded it. Will it take a few days [days]? like that slow, or should I re-upload the thumbnail?

It'll happen eventually :)

hahaha alright

You can also try re-uploading the thumbnail, yeah. :] Sometimes that can force the change.

The little thumbnail 'stickers' are kind of buggy, which is probably obvious by now...

I re-uploaded it several times, now should I just wait?

I guess so. :[ Unless you want to try one more time after giving it a different file name? Maybe the system thinks you're trying to re-upload something no different to the old file (I'm not sure how it would know that...)

maybe its gaining its own sense of free thought and will try to overthrow its human oppressors. Or maybe it is some good processing or something, I'll try what yous said. it's a good idea.

No luck I'm afraid. I'll just wait.

ah ok, i was about to ask how come i can't upload my thumbnail and title banner, but reading ahead answers a few questions before i ask them!

i'm downloading mozilla now, hopefully that works, if not i'll be sure to ask here for another solution.

any recommendations for a good title banner size?

As wide as your comic is a good start, if you're talking about title banners :)

Don't forget it's something your readers are going to have to see on every page when they're reading through the archives, so keep it a decent size. Some people here do gigantic title 'images' (instead of banners or headers) and most people don't like having to scroll down past an image they've seen hundreds of times to see the comic page they really want to see.

I can't upload a new title banner... I tried doing the things at the start of this thread... but to no avail.. the old banner remains and apparently cannot be changed! Any ideas?
Cheers,
Graeme

Okay... this is weird. I uploaded the new banner in Firefox... In firefox, the old banner remains and it appears as though it can't be changed... However, in Internet explorer, the new banner appears... I didn't load anything through IE!

I am very confused about this! I am wondering if people using different browsers will see different title images?
Cheers,
Graeme

You probably just need to clear your cache in Firefox. The browser is just reloading the image it has 'stored' for that spot. If you clear the cache it will be forced to retrieve the most current image (the correct one).

Thanks skoolmunkee! Worked like a charm!
Cheers!

so we have to use firefox to upload new thumbnails/banners and it takes a few days or something for it to go through right? I wonder how many people it takes to slow it down that much...

This is old advice for people who've had problems. The advice might not apply to you if you're not having issues. It doesn't apply to me because I don't have any problems, but some people do so that helps them ;)

Does anyone know if the browse button works in Google Chrome? It doesn't for me, and I have Firefox on my laptop, but I don't want to switch unless it's absolutely necessary.

Google Chrome is based on Apple Safari. Unfortunately both of those browsers handle java script in a non-standard way so that applications made using javascript don't always work well using them. Unfortunately this happens with DD.

DD isn't really being updated for stuff like that. The only work around right now is to use a browser like Firefox I'm afraid.
