Okay, here's the deal: I'm going to combine the stripcreator and forum user database real soon (tonight or tomorrow, probably). What's going to happen is that I'm going to switch the forums to use the stripcreator user database. This will cause you to need to use your stripcreator password to post messages in the forums. Then I'm going to import things like your total posts and signature over into your stripcreator user record. If your user name isn't the same on the forums and the stripcreator and you want me to move your total posts over, let me know -- please tell me both of your user names.

Forum users that don't exist on the stripcreator will be deleted (there shouldn't be many of these). Then, if everything still works, I'll be all like "woo!" and "yeah!" and stuff and possibly do some sort of little dance before I go get drunk.

The last thing I want to see is Tobor writing a Captain Obvious comic, or Dr. Pedantic writing something featuring himself correcting himself.

I'll get right on it. Seriously, what's going to happen to previous forum posts made by users who get deleted? A thread linked in the FAQ ("An important announcement from Dr. Pedantic") is primarily made up of posts by one-note accounts.

They should still work, just the total posts and signature won't be displayed because no user record exists for those user names. If you make accounts for those names on the stripcreator like Gabe suggested, it'll work as before.

gabe_billings August 7, 2001 5:24 PM	Whoa! Click to view comic? Is this how it's gonna be from now on? I can see that being better for people with slow internet connections, but it makes it a bitch to view the comics en masse.

gabe_billings August 7, 2001 5:34 PM	Stuff is disappearing, too. The rules for CC 51 are gone, but Kaufman's comic is still there. Hold me tight, wirthling!

Brad August 7, 2001 5:35 PM	I'm still adjusting to this "people reacting before I've typed up my explanation" thing. Check my post here: http://www.stripcreator.com/forums/showthread.php?postnum=11557&forum=2 What's this about disappearing posts? I haven't deleted anything, so it's probably just a bug.

Brad August 7, 2001 5:40 PM	Ah, I see. If you post a comic it doesn't display any text that follows it. Hmm, let's see about fixing that.

Brad August 7, 2001 5:50 PM	Should all be fixed now.

bunnerabb August 8, 2001 1:00 AM	All of the HTML tags I did in my profile that used to open links to other Lowpass artist main pages are now a big pile of arse. Errors where there were once links to other comic strippers work. Is this a bug, or did I miss an HTML tag revision statment? Love, bunner

Love,

Take a look at your profile. Brad added some new features, one of which is a list of people whose comics you like. You don't even need url's for them, just type their names down and blammo. So you have one line for your profile, and a whole separate space for other strippers.

Love,

Gabe
