I use the "Seattle Post Intelligencer" for most all of my comics and it is great. But for 'Brevity' and 'Rose is Rose' I have to use Comics.com but what a slow moving and/or inoperative drag! Well, hope we can all hang in there. Mike Mornin’,

I not only did not make the changes to my registry (didn't understand how to edit), I tried with Pearls to see the strip by inserting the date and got a 404. Another odd thing I noticed was that on Monday when it finally snapped out of its DNS funk one of the regular strips I read (can't remember which at the moment) was actually updated INTO THE FUTURE! and was available through the 10th on the 7th.

And I totally agree with the other folks that have mentioned how awful and slow the site is at the best of times. I have no idea why they moved away from the charging model - it has been a total disaster. However, thanks to the chap that 9 Chickweed Lane archive (http://image66amarillo.com/9cwl/) - it's great!!

Can't even remember if there were new strips on Friday but now it's Sat. Sept 12, and all the strips are stuck back on Thursday. You can't even post a comment. When I asked God to give me patience I wasn't expecting this! Everything was fine on Monday Sept 7. Can’t even remember if there were new strips on Friday but now it’s Sat.

I'm looking at the Friday 11 Sep 2009 "Pearls Before Swine" as I type this. And I'm sure it's today's strip - when I click on the magnifying glass to zoom (expand) the strip, I can read the copyright date, and it's today - 9/11/2009. Did you make the changes Comic Geek and patrick suggested earlier in the thread, and then forget to back them out again once comics.com came up?

Of course, the old server isn't being updated, but it's sorta interesting that it's still online. I guess they (or the provider folks involved) don't need to redeploy their spare capacity!
