Okay folks. After a week of hair pulling I think I can safely say the website is back up and running. Yes, I had to redo the website. Not my choice, but it doesn't look bad and hopefully runs a lot smoother.
Thank you all for being patient.
Now back to the comics....
NEW UPDATE:
It seems there are some OS that are unable to see the older comics. Most notably Chrome. I have no idea why that is when just a few short days ago I COULD see them. This is so incredibly frustrating. I've reached out for some help again but it's just me folks and I still got my crappy day job to contend with. I'll try and get the older comics up and running for everyone but it's going to take time.
Thank you all for your patience and your diligence.

Works well and nothing bothers me. So, well done, Eric.

Still seeing challenges with old comics, Mac OD 11.5.2, Current Firefox and Chrome browsers

hmm…. Are you having trouble seeing all the old comics or just a select few? Are you able to see the most recent one okay?
I’ve looked at the comic with various OS and that hasn’t come up for me. Any one else having trouble with the older comics using the operating system he’s describing?

I’m on macOS 11.6.3, which is pretty much the same. Tried some random pages in Firefox 96 and Vivaldi 5 (= Chrome 96). Everything is looking great in FF, but in Vivaldi I can only see the current page plus 872–875. Every earlier page that I tried didn’t show up

Everything prior to 874
Chrome and FF. Same result in Dev mode.
Safari loads correctly FWIW.
Mac OS 11.5.2
Chrome 98.0.4758.80
FireFox 96.0.3

Yeah, now suddenly the comics I could see on chrome just a few days ago, I’m not able to see now. I still see everything in Firefox.
I have no idea why it’s doing that. Uugh!!!!This is so annoying. I will attempt to try and fix it over the next week, but it’s just me working on it. At least you can see the newest comics until I get this problem fixed. Hang in there. I’ll see what I can do.

The header is a little wonky. I think I might make a new one anyway in the next couple of months.

Someone usually beats me to it when it comes to grammar or typos, but there’s an awkward bit in Emrys’ second dialogue balloon in panel two:
“And he’s not the most cleanliness of people.”
I’d suggest an edit to, “And he’s not the cleanest of people,” or “And cleanliness is not exactly his strong suit,” or “And he’s not the tidiest of people,” or something along those lines. I understand what you’re trying to convey without any trouble, I just keep tripping over the line when I read it.
As for the page itself, it looks like Emrys dressed nicely, but maybe he should have prioritized straightening up the apartment before inviting Beth over; at least pickup the detritus off the floor and the put the dishes in the sink.
In his defense though, maybe he planned to do that and Beth really was that quick to show up? I’ve never been in this particular situation before, so it’s a little difficult to assess.
Thank you for all the effort you put into fixing the website, Eric. I know you didn’t really have a choice if you wanted to keep sharing your work, but I still appreciate it. Some people would have given up.
Hope you folks have a good Friday and weekend.

“Hope you folks have a good Friday and weekend.”
Had Polish dark beer Kśiaź with 9%, so I am quite tipsy ATM

looks nice, and the comic seems larger to me, which I really like

Looking good here – all seems well.
Definitely like the larger size too.
Find myself being quite envious of Emrys and Beth – my younger days are so long ago . . .
(Folks often use the word jealous – so very wrong – in circumstances like this –
Jealousy is the fear – and the resultant anger –
of being or feeling like you are going to be replaced.)
Envious is, “I wish I were Emrys there”. . . .

If I were Emrys, I would have tidied up the place a bit. I don’t think messy rooms are romantic.
