next page link skips a comic

Post by Merc »

ok, last week like a bonehead i posted a comic and it was entirely to big for the page. i went into the public, comics folder and deleted it out. then i went back in and uploaded the fixed page. after i did that i scrolled backwards (starting with the newest page) through my comics and everything was fine. when i scrolled forward starting with the 'first comic' all the pages were there except for the page immediately before the newest one. i wasn't particularly worried over that however b/c it wasn't a story page. today i uploaded a new comic though and the same thing is happening, except this time, the 'non-story' page that wasn't showing up before shows up in its correct position, but the page directly after it and directly before my new page is missing again. it appears that when i load new pages, the previous 'new' page is skipped over, when reading forward from the beginning. once again even today if i go backwards the page is there, its only forwards that it skips it. I don't want my readers being confused at the loss of some of the story....please help me!!!!!

The first and easiest step would be to:

1) Open your dailytemplate.html
2) make a very tiny change. Then save the document.
3) Upload dailytemplate.html to your workspace
4) Run a FULL UPDATE.

This will regenerate every comic page on your site, and relink everything. At that point, your calendar will be cleaned up. Then, go and try to upload a new comic and see if the problem persists.

If you have some text on your template, add a comma or something (such as change "this is the story" to "this, is the story".

If you don't have any text (or don't want to change any, then you can add a line break at the very bottom (before the < / body > tag) (a line break looks like this: < b r > or this < / b r > (but without the spaces).
