The Mod Blog

We, the staff of PaperDemon.com are a very friendly bunch. If you need help finding your way around PaperDemon, just ask one of our Moderators. Also, if you'd like to report a member or a submission that is in violation of our Site Rules, please feel free to contact one of us.

In this space, the site moderators share their thoughts about the PD community. We also post info about upcoming events, info about changes to the site rules, and cool tips and things we find throughout PD.

Now when you edit artists or authors on an artwork entry, you have an easy ajax search feature for finding artists that you want to add to your submission. Very nifty.

Also, links for editing your artwork submissions have been added right on the submissions themselves. Now when you are viewing an artwork entry that belongs to you, there's easy access for making changes to the entry.

One other thing. I noticed that when managing a writing entry there is no link for editing authors. I've added the link to this page now. I must have forgotten to add it once I switched the user interface to be more like the comics section. Why didn't anyone tell me? Sorry about that!

Also, a new [writing] code has been added. just type [writing#] replacing the # with the id number of the writing submission and it will create a nifty little link like so:

There's also been a [comic] code added. Just type [comic#] replacing the # with the id number of the comic (from the about comic page, not a page of a comic) and you'll get a link like this:

arkillian found more bugs with the comments system. This is related to the last problem we were experiencing with comments. Unfortunately, due to my stupidity, I forgot to update another field in the database that was maxed out. there were ~170 comments that got screwed up and lost in the commenting database. I've gone ahead and deleted these messages. They were all replies to comments. I'm really sorry to those that posted replies to comments in the art system but deleting them was the cleanest way to avoid further bugs on the site. New comments made after this post should not be affected by the bug.

Update
By the way, you may see ghosted notifications in your inbox due to the deleted entries. Please just remove them. Also, today is not my day. I just mistakenly deleted the 10 most recent art reviews and there's no way i can undo it. I almost deleted all of them. If I had deleted all of them I could have restored it from my last backup but it wouldn't include posts posted after my backup. I'm really sorry for the mistake. But at least its only 10 entries and not all 65,000+ of them.
