Apologies to everyone. But the page will be late. Barb is currently experiencing computer problems. As soon as can be, a new page will be posted. Again our apologies.

EDIT BY KEZ: People who cannot view the latest page: listen up! Comment here and let me know what browser you are using, what edition, and your operating system! For example, I am using FireFox 3.5.3 on Windows XP. The browser edition in FireFox can be found under menu->help->about, and in an analogous place in Internet Explorer.
If you can’t view ANY pages, odds are you have your referrers turned OFF. This is an anti-piracy measure. You will either have to turn your referrers back on, or view the comic on a different computer.
Finally, BEFORE you leave a comment about your inability to view the page, please clear your cache and cookies. There could be some interference if your computer is still trying to load the old version of the site.
For both inconveniences, I apologize.

I’m using Firefox 3.5.3 on XP SP3. I can see every page but last week’s. Cache and cookies have been cleared, to no avail.

I can see the comic, but the page is formatted very oddly. I use IE6 (I guess I’ll have to upgrade soon anyway…) and the comic appears to be where it should, but has empty space to the right. Below the comic is more empty space, the same height as the ads to the right. I would guess the ads are supposed to be next to the comic, but I see them diagonally below with space above and to their left. Below that is the comment box and more ads directly to the left of it.
… scrolling back up to describe this, I found I can’t see the comic on this page; it shows only black! I could see it on the normal homepage, though, before I clicked to add a comment.

@Quats, sorry, but IE6 needs to be upgraded. I COULD make this site compatible with that edition, but it’s so old, I won’t. I would suggest either upgrading, or switching to a different browser. Yours is..6-8 years old now.
The issue with the black box though is a screw up on my end. This page is using the wrong template. You shouldn’t see the comic on this (the comment page for a blog) anyways. I apparently have the template set up to show it though! Whoops.
@Aikoe: so you can see the current page? Interesting! May be an issue with image encoding, now that I think about it.

I’m using Vista and unable to view the current comic. No problems viewing previous comics on Xyliatales. Just to let you know, there could be a bug lurking on this site. Why I say this, both my firewall and Norton popped up with an intrusion attempt at 3:25:50 pm. Maybe coincidence, but still rather alarming. Kez, hmmm…. are you the same Kez of War of Winds?

@Kez: Nope, now I can’t see the last two. I can still see everything else.

I’ve had trouble viewing the latest page while the archive pages worked fine (using Firefox 3.5.3 on XP SP3).
Turns out my bookmark still pointed to http://comic.xyliatales.com/ instead of http://xyliatales.com/.

I’m using the latest Firefox, 3.5.3 I believe, and I’m on Vista. I can view any page bar the latest just fine – last weeks update wouldn’t show for me until today, now that it’s no longer the latest page. My bookmark has been updated to the new url, and I’ve cleared both cookies and cache.

Apostasy: any change today (can you view the latest page)? I updated Barb’s comicpress version last night.
