One of the guys on the Misfile forum has identified this as a known issue in Chrome 41, not present in 40, fingers crossed for 42 – which will be the answer to everything.

Browser performance

Testing the sequence Dave mentions: I clicked on "T", scrolled down and clicked on "Timekeepers (2)". Chrome froze On OS X, Chrome is by far the worst performer of my browsers. It certainly pauses for 30+ seconds at the click on {Timekeepers} — didn’t crash for me though. Safari ...

Re: Character Index

Just a heads-up... The current page structure for displaying tags and pages seems to be capable of delivering a very large page under some circumstances. I clicked on "T", scrolled down and clicked on "Timekeepers (2)". Chrome froze - nothing new was displayed and the window's s...

Re: Character Index

Sounds like the data structure doesn't go deep enough for what I had in mind. Sorry. No problem, all interest is appreciated :) The data structure, such as it is, is fully visible in the index page’s html source, but in summary: comic pages are represented as html paragraphs each with a unique id a...

Re: Character Index

Make up a character named "I started using a new tag here". Whenever you start using a new tag that you kinda wish you'd been using all along, that page includes a reference to this imaginary character - and that reference gets your new tag. Run that one by me again, a little slower — I’m...

From their positions and Nadette’s hand on the door edge blocking Atsali, it looks as if they may be on different sides of the shut door.

And Nadette isn't blushing when talking to Atsali

Re: Character Index

If I may make a suggestion for a tag here, I'd like to point out that unlike most other webcomickers, Mr. Taylor sometimes drops in these single-panel episodes in the midst of all the multi-panel normality. Perhaps a tag of " 1-panel " or " single-panel " would be appropriate. I...

Re: Character Index

Having a full text search would be nifty too, but a robust tag system that allows one to find all the strips with (for example) CalendarMachine would be very useful all by itself. Keep up the good work! :D A robust tag system is the intent, yes. It is a helluva lot less work than typing in all the ...

Re: Character Index

Heh, I remember once making up a sort of encyclopedia and index for all of the characters and places and significant objects in H. P. Lovecraft's works for somebody who was planning on using it to put together some type of Dungeons and Dragons like game. It was actually rather fun to put together. ...
