None of the new comics in "This just in" are visible.
Two comics of mine that *were* visible before are now not visible after editing: the page is there, but the comic image itself is not loading up. Those two pages are

in case you need examples, however this appears to be a site-wide problem for all new comic uploads.
Help, Support and Suggestions
Uploaded comics are not showing up

This appears to be intermittent. There was a period just now during which new comics were showing up all right, and I was able to edit one of my missing comics so that it showed up. I couldn't get the other one to show, though, and now that I've tried to re-edit the fixed one as an experiment, it has broken again. Also, the most recent "This just in" comic is broken, after a string of 30 or so that worked all right.

Yeah, I had someone PQ me about a similar issue just a litle while ago... That bug sometimes happens and I'm not sure what causes it. the only cure usually is to delete the page and re-upload it. I think something goes wrong during the uploading process so that while you post all the new author comments, the comic image itself isn't there to load with the rest of the info when the page displays.

I've gotten a number of PQs too, and there are a lot of forum topics that seem to be related to this. Whatever it is, it seems like a rather big problem. I've already emailed Platinum and the programmer, so hopefully it will be fixed soon...

Last night, I tried uploading my update at least 5 times and the image never worked. When I saw that everyone else was having the same problem with their image not showing up, I realized it's a much bigger issue. :/
Here's hoping it's resolved soon!

It seems to be working now, although I haven't heard from the programmer about it.

Yep, huzzah! Your news post neatly summarizes the experience I have had with the problem and its apparent fix. :)

The problem WAS fixed after Skool sorted it out with the programmer over a few hours yesterday, but now it has broken down again currently. The programmer is in bed right now, so...? This will have wait a while. Sorry :(

Ah, I was told we have to wait a bit and it should be resolved....hopefully. I tried about 10 times to upload something when I finally came to my senses and stopped.

I have found the problem: you let your programmer sleep.

Whatever the problem is, it seems database related. The links point to physical addresses instead of relative addresses for the pics. Instead of image files, the pic links are just url links.
Someone posted that if you keep trying it will eventually work... I've tried to update over 20 times, still no good. There's a special place in hell reserved for the person who posted that... with lots of goo and sharp pointy things.

I'll pass on that url links thing to the programmer.
sorry guys, I don't think anyone knows quite what is going on here, or it would be fixed by now. :[

I'm having the same problem. I have been trying to upload seven new pages for the last two days. Well I guess I'll get back to work making more pages.

I'm also experiencing the page upload/update problem. The image of the comic page is not showing up.

They've found the problem (the image server ran out of space and the host didn't tell them.... I think someone here in the forums called that one actually). It should be solved soon. :] I imagine as soon as they are able to free up space? Dunno the plan there.

Yeah, the guy who started this thread called it right.
I hope I can get my readers back once the site is working again. With so few pages in my comic, I can't rely on people going back and reading a bunch of pages over to keep my rankings up. The day the problem started, I was #72 Overall... I've dropped to #91 as of today and lost my Top 10 Adult ranking.

The best way ive found is to upload your images to an image hosting site. I use www.imageshack.us then just embed the image into your notes if itll fit. Problems solved untill the site is sorted.

Found like 7 comics just by browsing what was just updating.
Usually uploading the page again tends to fix it.
And also, this is probably just that when the programmer's fixing it this stuff happens, the log out bug, or whatever it is, is happening again and it's more "ferocious"than before.
