The majority of technical issues seem to be solved. If you can’t view the comic, please try the following:
1) Change your RSS/Bookmark to XYLIATALES.COM. The subdomain at comic.xyliatales.com is no longer fully functional. The RSS link is in the menu.
2) If you are viewing this site on IE6 (or below), it WILL NOT DISPLAY PROPERLY. Please update your browser. Microsoft is working on IE9 now folks. I’ll make things compatible to IE7, but that’s as far as I’ll go. It’s not worth it to make a site compatible in IE6. If you have an older version of FF, Safari, etc, please update as well.
3) If you are using Norton or MacAfee firewalls, please add http://xyliatales.com* to your safe viewing list. There is a long history of keenspot comics being blocked by these programs.
4) If you are trying to view from work, and your network has a filter, please check the comic from your home computer to see if it shows up. We really can’t do anything about web filters.
5) If you have disabled your referrers, you will not be able to view the comic. This is an anti-piracy measure.
If none of the above measures have worked, please post here to let us know. Include your browser and edition information. Thanks!

If you’re still using IE 6 or earlier, get out of the stone age. Seriously.
If you’re using IE at all…well, you get what you get. There’s other browsers out there that are faster, do a better job, have a smaller memory footprint, and (frankly) aren’t swiss-cheese from a web-security standpoint. The fact that a website has to be made compatible with IE, and not the other browsers, should tell you something.

THANK YOU, SCAScot. And I’ll punch anyone who disagrees with you.

The current comic still does not work in Firefox 3.5.3 on Mac. Previous strips work fine, but the current is missing entirely and the nav that should be below the comic is right under the nav that is at the top. The comic simply is not there in the page layout at all. Safari 4.0.3 on Mac works fine. I have not tested Firefox on Windows, but the results cross platform are usually the same.
