There is now a comic editor. The option's just for donors and it can be found beside the delete button underneath your comics. Please let me know if there are any problems.

Once comics are edited they're tagged with a 'last edited date'. You can see this by hilighting beside the comic title, in case weird problems arise.

I got this:

"You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's no place you feel at home and you think you'd be better off a"

when trying to edit this.

Ah apostrophes, how I love them. Should be fixed now.

Got the same thing, only pertaining to my comic.

Works now, joy!

That's awesome. Thanks Brad.

:O

I think I just jizzed myself.

People I love: brad

damn. Now I got a lot of work ahead of me.

THANKS BRAD!

This is cooler than ninjas. I don't give that compliment lightly.

Oh my gawd! BRAD, I LOVE YOU!!!!

(and yes I mean that in a homosexual way)

whoa awsome!!!!

This is cool. Thanks brad.

I can finally fix my dumb spelling errors.

whoa! I can also replace all the characters in my comics that are supposed to be me, with the kaddar character. yay.

That's what I'm planning on doing.

not sure if this is a related issue or not...

the comic number no longer shows on the black strip above the comic panels

You can still get the comic # out of the URL, though

Yeah I removed that because 1) you don't need to use the [comic] tag anymore to post comics in the forums and b) the URLs are a lot clearer now.

I just fixed a bunch of my comics, the ones I fixed are garunteed to be 24% funnier than previously. WOOT!

Oh man, this is so sweet. I just edited a few of my older comics, taking out that KOFightClub guy and putting myself in there, and made an ULTRA MEGA SUPER SPECIAL EDITION of one of the Epic Quest strips. Basically, someone told me I spelled something wrong, and it turned out I was right all along.

I think you just post the comic's URL.

If this works, you do.

Huzzah!

It's a cool feature. I kinda liked the fact that people couldn't go back and change their comics though... the set in stone was kind of cool.

But I'm just accustomed to not being able to edit the comic :)

Nice feature Brad, thanks.

Not that I have one, but out of curiosity... what would happen if someone wanted to edit and old Bongo comic? Would this throw an error when it tried to match the graphic with the option box? Or will it just immediatly replace him with another character?

Look, time travel!

The first use of the Kaufman forumusers character, about 3 months before the thing was actually drawn. (In the rare limited edition original, the explodingdog guy was used).

You're a stud, Brad. Now change the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Right now it should re-save bongo but not give you the option to add the character. As long as you don't change the character I think you should be fine.

And this should go without saying but I should mention that if people start figuring out ways to stick him in newer comics I'll be forced to start stripping it. Which will mean if you edit old bongo comics he'll disappear.

Brad, have I told you I love you lately?

I love you, Brad.

Brad?

I love you.

As I said, I don't have any Bongo comics, was never a fan of him anyway :)

Was just bringing it up BEFORE it became an issue. I'm an I.T. guy, I'm supposed to think of crap like compatibility w/ older formats :)

I logged on here just now to test the Bongo theory, I guess great minds think alike.

This comic editing feature rocks. It *almost* makes up for the loss of IRC (although I'm still reeling from that).

I'm going to have to be extra paranoid about logging out in public places now. Do you suppose we could have a session timeout feature to go along with this just in case? If that is a non-funtastical idea, why not have the site ask for your password every time you try to update a comic?

I have to admit that having the feature is a nice thing, though.

I should also mention that the fact that we can change the comic titles is super sexy.

Probably wouldn't be too hard to ask for the login and password each time (ie. ignore the user's cookie). Though if the user was clever they could still probably get your password off the hard drive somewhere.

I should mention (for your peace of mind) that right now the editing feature saves all the older revisions of the comics into a backup database each time you make a change. I'll probably empty this every few months or so depending on how quickly it gets real big. So if for some reason you have your account broken into and somebody edits your comics, it'll be possible to restore them all for a good while after it's been done.

funny... all this time i was waiting for a comic edit feature, it was to fix the only typo i remember having perpetrated on SC. thanks, brad, for finally letting me fix that. there's a good chance i'll never use the feature again (:

wow, temporary-backups too? that's cool.

The ironic part is that now we'll have to edit all the comics that had a punchline about not editing comics.

What's with the Bongo thing?

(Yes, I am indeed a post-Bongo stripper. *cue porn music*)

Like all your series.

Haha! Quotefile!

(I cant tell Jes to Quotefile in IRC anymore so I might as well do it in the forums)

(Oh wait, thats pointless...)

Ah, crap, now my "Stripcreator: Refreshed" series will have a pointless ending.

I'll just assume that you're mocking the Matrix and not my comics.

I have to echo the thanks for the new editing function, Brad. It actually works quickly and correctly, making you look like quite the genius around the internet.

In fact, YOU should be running for President this year!

I think you mean prime minister.
