First: two new pages of Webs! Second, I have had several users message and say they cannot access the comics they should be able to access with their SubscribeStar level. For the moment, I have fixed this by making sure all subscribers can see the comics. I think the issue …
Sorry for the “technically on time” update, I made it with only half an hour left for Monday. Busy with SubscribeStar coding, having trouble getting the responses I need from their service. Regarding security, I’ll make a more detailed post later, but the important part is this: my site will …
There was a long-running problem where after logging in, sometimes the site would pretend you were still logged out. Basically a conflict with the caching plugin. There is still not a PERFECT solution, but it should work a lot better/more consistently now. If you have any problems logging in, please …
Looking at my render buffer, I think I have enough art to keep up two pages a week for a while. So two pages this week, and next week, and for as long as I can maintain this pace! I’m still trying to get my SubscribeStar integration working. It’s a …

Looking in the logs I see a lot of people getting locked out for failed logins. I am assuming that you are not all hackers trying to get into my site! So I am setting the security so that you can make 6 login attempts within 60 minutes before you …
I have implemented some more aggressive security measures after the hack. For instance, if you fail your login 3 times in 60 minutes, your IP will be prevented from submitting forms (including login) for 60 minutes. As time goes on I will probably loosen these a little. In the meantime, …
I had a user report that my site redirected them to a spam site, has anyone else encountered this issue? I’ve run multiple scans on the site and I have found no malware or vulnerabilities. Please let me know if you encounter anything like this!
So, the site was indeed hacked, which is presumably where those redirects came from. The hack consisted of a fake admin user and a number of modified or added php files. I’ve removed the fake user and manually searched the files to delete them. I’ll be keeping an eye on …
