BUG REPORT

Post by repetto »

If you go to Dracula Everlasting, page "268 - Breaking and entering 4" and hit next, you get redirected to "387 - News report 1" instead of "269 - News report 1". This quirk got me really disoriented for a minute, I got all like "Who's this black dude?".

You renamed the colliding pages, right?

At the risk of getting all code nazi on you here, that doesn't take care of the buggy system. DE will go on for a while, and name clashes are gonna get more annoying to avoid the more pages you've got.

As a possibility that doesn't involve messing with the code, you could rename the pages to their correspondig number. That would kill clashes altogether.

Dracula Everlasting had its remaining webcomic pages pre-entered into the database so that they would post on a set schedule. The clash is there because a handful of pages reused a title (with numbers and everything, go figure). It's just easier to fix the titles so they don't clash at this point since there's only about 50 pages left.

Damn. I read the first 300 pages on a single sitting. I guess I'm gonna have to learn to read slowly someday. =((

Yep, it's a 3 volume series.
