Just got this error checking out:

Wasted Talent Patch

Angela (I hope you read these),

Hey, a bunch of my friends at school got the Wasteds Talent patch at the release party a while back. Unfortunatley, I hadn't heard of it yet. But since I saw/bought the book from red sales I've subscribed to the RSS feed of the comic and enjoy it everytime a new strip is posted.

Is there any chance we (us late adopters) could see this patch available in the shop? Ever since I saw the patch on a friend's Red I've been kicking myself for not knowing about Wasted Talent sooner.

Regards,

The forum seems pretty unhappy to see me, haha.

Random comic button?

I read a lot of web-comics (probably because I don't really have a life) and I've noticed that one very common occurance is a random comic button.  I'm not sure what would go into making a random comic button for WT but I think it would be fun.  I love the new website (although I guess it's not really all that new now) and I love the comic ^_^.

 

KEEP IT UP!!!!

Site Updates

I've added 2 columns to the "list" archive view showing how many times a comic has been "liked" and shared on Facebook.

http://www.wastedtalent.ca/archive/list?order=count_1&sort=desc

The site is still updating the Facebook counts, might take awhile.

Hoping Jam Will Read This...

Ok, so I know this may be weird to post in a forum, but I really wanted to tell you something.  I don't know if you read these, but I hope you do because I think you'll like what I want to tell you.

One consequence of being married...

...is you need to do a global search/replace of the word "FIANCEE" with "HUSBAND" :D esp. on http://www.wastedtalent.ca/info/new-wasted-talent

I'm sure Trevor will Get Right On That!

I'm still having problems attaching things

When I try to attach files (to a blog post) it gives me a "file size exceeded" error. But it's nowhere near the limit! :(

Where'd you get the fancy blog?

Not really a technical support question, but I'm looking for a blog template or site that I can integrate into a tab on a webpage the way the Wasted Talent Blog does, so I thought I'd ask the source. All the blogs/blogging tools I've found so far create standalone blogs. Where's the integration? Where's the love?

Your sage advice is as welcome as your stylish steel-toes. :)

Donations through Shop Havn't been Working

It was brought to my attention that the donation option when your checking out through the Wasted Talent shop hasn't been working, the amount you choose to donate is not being charged.

Thanks for all those who have ordered Jam/Angela’s new book and for also choosing to give her a donation for her hard work. Unfortunately there was an unknown bug in the shop system with the donation option. PayPal wasn’t getting the total with the donation because of a weird way that line items work with PayPal.

Placed an order, donation did not work

I just placed an order for one of the pre-order Aritst Editions (order #91!), and I clicked the Donation button to add $5 to the order.

 

However, when I got through to PayPal, it did not include the $5 donation, only the cost of the book + shipping.  I sent the $5 in a seperate PayPal payment, but just thought you should know the shop donation function did not work.

Random Comics Busted for Logged-Out users

As per title.

Security

I was wondering how much work has gone into making the website secure? For example have you made sure to save the passwords in strong hashes like SHA-1 (instead of just storing them)? There are other things to watch out for, most prominently SQL-injection (if you are using an SQL database, which I think is the case) and Cross-scripting attacks? Also there are a good number of spam comments at the end of some comics, but there is no "report post" feature yet...

Favouriting

From "Wasted Tom": But actually it seems you can't "favourite" a past comic when sailing through the archive or asking for a random comic. The "favourite this" link is not visible.

Suggestions

While were at making a new website, if anyone has any suggestions for any features they would like to see, please let us know!

Comic Comments

You may have noticed that the order of comments is the opposite from what it was on the old site. Currently they now show newest to oldest.

I was wondering which people prefer.

You can actualy change the way the comments are ordered with the comment controls below the last comment.

New Website!!

Hey everyone! We have a new website! Please post your cheers and jeers in this thread :D
