Sure! You've earned it!

Btw - some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that the new volunteer programmer says he's probably not going to have any time for Drowtales until end of may. It's still a "probably", but a pretty strong one. If he does do anything, it'll be just minor tweaks anyway. Oh, well. I'll get to PTP then.

The good news is that good old girl Ariel (the server) is almost restored by Martin and should come back online within the next few days. Expect some outages during the transition.

[Vilx-]

Update from Martin: Ariel is back in action! And the fanar gallery is back in action too. I think I must have misunderstood something when I said previously that it was old and unused. It looks as great and fresh as the rest of the website.

I've updated the main Moonless age archive. For all non-Daydream-subscribers there will now be a full page advert. For daydream subscribers there is a new background. I'm not sure how long Kern will keep this advert, I'll ask him.

In the mean time I'd like to hear of any problems with the new designs. They're... a bit different than usually (from coding perspective), so I would expect new bugs there.

[Finn MacCool]

well, the comic page isn't centered anymore. that's not really a problem, though (and given that it makes it easier to see the daydream link, it's probably intentional).

[Vilx-]

Indeed, it's intentional. However there is a problem (Kern told me a few hours ago) at large screen resolutions that the background is also off-center, and that doesn't look good. I'm still thinking on how to fix that.

Update: OK, it's fixed. On small screens/windows the comic page is off-center in order to show the Daydream link. On large enough windows the comic page is centered and the link is off-center.

Status update: fixed some bugs, updated Daydream page titles for the rest of Extra Archives, Ch. 5-7 of archive 3, and chapters 4-6 of Slavemaster. All courtesy of Lordpanther14!

P.S. You can resume now!

[Lordpanther14]

Alright, then if no ones claimed them yet I'll work on Chapters 0-2 of Archive 2, Chapters 8-9 of Archive 3, and finish the pages for Chapter 6 of SM.

EDIT: Chapters 0-2 was just mindless porn, I think a little bit of my brain is leaking out my ear now.

[Lordpanther14]

Was reading through Slavemaster and there is a little problem with the pages where the half I labeled happen after the half I hadn't labeled at the time. Hopefully it gets in to the proper order on your next update.

[Vilx-]

Oops! Yes, it will. Sorry.

I'll put your next updates online sometime during the weekend, as soon as I get the opportunity.

Oh, can someone help me out here?

I brought myself another year at PtP but now i cant see anything when i click on PtP. All i get is a white page with a little x to the high left.

Anyone knows why´s that and what i can do to finally see the updates? ;_;

[Vilx-]

Try now!

[James Rye]

Try now!

Well, now i got a paypal error when loggin' in though paypal had send me a mail that the transfer of the money was a success? Also my email adress didn´t changed the past year so why could that be a problem now...haaaah.
Maybe i´ll never be able to see PtP ever again or vote for the advises/actions... ;_;

[Vilx-]

Have no fear, the coder is here!

I can check out your account, but I'll need your email address. Send me a PM if you don't want to show it in public.

P.S. Yes, that "PayPal email change" notification is an embarrassment I want to fix. I just wish I had the time. Well, anyway, good news is - I should be starting work on PTP at the end of the week. It'll be a sort of downgrade to PTP1, but at least with a new design, and without all those bugs.

[James Rye]

Really, this week-end? Awesome!

How long would that work take though, a month or two, more?

Btw, have send my mail adress to you.

[Vilx-]

No idea, haven't seen the new webdesign yet.

But I'd estimate at least a month, I'm afraid. Besides downgrading, there's also a small pile of new stuff that needs to be added in (like the new common framework). I suspect it'll be more like another rewrite than a downgrade. Still, PTP1 was very primitive - basically just one page and an archive - so, a month should suffice.
