I’ve got the category created and am currently modifying the layout code for the archive.

You can find it at http://www.tradereadingorder.com/list/blog/comic-issue-reading-orders/

I’ll be adding in some content in the next updates while I continue tweaking the layout!

You guys know we have a sub-forum for issue reading orders, but I was wondering if you thought we should have a kind of feature section (like uncle gorby’s layout) for issue reading orders.

I’d probably link each one to a forum thread and it would mainly be a curated collection of various lists posted on forums and sent around in text documents. Each one would be credited and linked, although people could submit them directly from their account and have them posted through their names. We could edit and keep them updated and have them formatted really nicely (moreso than just forum posts) but each issue wouldn’t have an individual database page as they’d just be text lists.

Any thoughts?

A couple small updates today.

I’ve placed the following two DC books:

Empire (Treated as an Elseworlds or OOC style title)

Captain Atom: Armageddon (A copy of this crossover book will also be placed on the Wildstorm list once that one goes up)

I’ve also changed the homepage layout a bit to allow for the two most recent blog posts instead of just one. I think it looks pretty good.

I’m planning to redo the sidebars for the rest of the site pages at some point – making the rightmost one matching the size and content of the front page sidebar (and maybe adding a couple things to that) and then making the inner sidebar dynamic content based on the list you are viewing. So if it’s a DC list it would show DC characters and series tags, a marvel list shows marvel ones, and so on. Probably a “top” list from other categories too.

I’ve placed the individual oversized OGNs for World’s Greatest Heroes right before the collected edition on the DC RRO. These are the six books included in this update:

Superman: Peace On Earth

Batman: War On Crime

Shazam!: Power Of Hope

Wonder Woman: Spirit Of Truth

JLA: Secret Origins

JLA: Liberty And Justice

Until mid September I’ll be working 12 hour days 7 days a week, though I’ll be trying to roll out small updates when I can. They may be backdated if I don’t have time to finish a post but I can tweak some code or database stuff, but I’ll at least keep some stuff going for the site. It should calm down a bit soon though and hopefully that will coincide with the launch of the marvel list!

(From this – which I couldn’t actually bring my self to watch, parody it may be)

Some of this is redundant from a forum post I just made, so I’ll quote that first:

Since a recent update in the plugin code, I’ve had one email about the avatar uploads not working (that I fixed for the user via ftp) but I’ve since noticed that a lot of profiles seem to have broken avatars. They hadn’t been posting, so I hadn’t caught it (though maybe if their avatars worked they would have! oh no!)

I had to go in and fix the code myself – apparently there was a problem with the way the plugin author was calling the root directory for the upload script.

The avatar is showing up correctly in that post, so I think the issue is resolved. Unfortunately, I was unable to fix any avatars that didn’t work during the problem period. They had never been uploaded to the avatar directory, so I don’t have the files to re-associate with the user accounts.

Please try again! Let me know if you run into any problems and I’ll get right on it. Now that I know what the cause of the issue was, we should be able to resolve them quickly.

On a side note, since you have to finish your profile on first log in after account creation, I’ve made it so you no longer have to visit your profile page on first visit to the forums. You should now be able to post right away.
