This could simply be the result of a copy-paste error. Redo the links on your dailytemplate. Make sure they don't actually have the "d" in their URLs.

if my brain is functioning correctly...

/d/ is used for your comic pages, not your addition webpages. try taking the /d/ out of the link and it should work fine.

Question...

Why is there no ad banner on your site? You have the fantasy exchange one, but the required ad for CG seems to be missing.

Unless this was something you worked out with the admins. If not I'd re-read the TOS.

Anyway, as far as your problem goes, I can't seem to find any reason why /d/ is appearing in your links. The only thing I can possibly think of is if you're using CSS, that your style page has rediffined <a> to automaticly add /d/ to all it's links. But that seems unlikely in this case.

I honestly don't know what's wrong, but again, just friendly warning that unless you've previously talked to the admins about your adspace at the top of your page, you might want to get around to fixing that.

Psst... keentags: ***advertisement***

And shouldn't the "Hosted by keenspace/ComicGenesis" message be at the bottom of every page? I only see it on the index page.

Which reminds me. It'd probably be a good idea to change your URL over to Comic Genesis. The Keenspace one will still redirect to Comicgen, but it's never too late to start.

You see how you're linking to your pages like this:

Code: Select all

<a href="about.htm"><img src="/images/spring-about.gif" alt="About"></a>
You should be linking them like this:

Code: Select all

<a href="/about.htm"><img src="/images/spring-about.gif" alt="About"></a>
The / at the beginning of the page name is very important for the same reason that you use the / before images in your pictures.

it is missing. and the only way you can get away with no banners is if your comic features Jesus having sex and you have 2.5 million visits a month.

You really need to put the ***advertisment*** tag on your site there bucko

It's linking to "/d" because the dailytemplate pages are in the /d folder. Change your links to point to the next folder up, like this:

Code: Select all

Right now its:
<a href="about.htm"><img src="/images/spring-about.gif" alt="About"></a>

Change it to:
<a href="/about.htm"><img src="/images/spring-about.gif" alt="About></a>
Adding the slash will make it start at the system root, instead of the /d folder.

Oh, sure enough. Maybe I should go visit the optometrist...

Edit: Oh wait, I think I'd neglected to refresh before (my system clock got set back), so I blame that rather than me not reading everything! ;)
