I have set my comic as a webcomic because it's originally posted page by page as I make them on a site built around this method, but on GC I have to upload it chapter by chapter and I'm now wondering if I should describe it as just "comic." Any thoughts on that? When I browse the site by comic type, I'm not sure the...

re: New GlobalComix web version - bug reports
Hi! This is about the reading page.
On desktop I used to use the keyboard's arrow keys to scroll down and flip to the next page.
With the new layout this is not possible most of the time and I have to manipulate the scroll bar and click the darkened margins.
Sometimes I can temporarily fix that by hitting the tab key so I suppose the input focus is...
re: Comics taking a long time to load
Hi,
Maybe related to this, I get random HTTP 403 (Forbidden) on seemingly random page loads on desktop that solve themselves after several minutes. It already happened, although less frequently (and I didn't check the browser console at the time), on the older version of the reader.
Thanks.
re: Meaning of Webcomics type
Thank you, @cmc and @ArtCrumbs
Since my pages are designed for landscape oriented screens, I think I'll keep the webcomic type as a way to signal it's really meant for digital reading.
I work at a high enough resolution to print it but it would be quite the weird paper format. Also I use a larger font in the speech balloons than I would on print.

I had the same problem, and there was no solution at the time. See:

re: Using a chapter cover not from the comic
@ArtCrumbs This is what I did initially but I don't like the jump it creates from portrait to landscape. My pages being wide landscape can be considered to be all double page spreads and I don't think anybody would try to display two of them side by side. But I'm ok now with not having a portrait cover, it looks like it is mostly the series cover...
re: Using a chapter cover not from the comic
Thank you for the clarification, @ArtCrumbs. I had initially set the series cover that way, in the series settings. uploading a portrait image based on the first panel in the first chapter because, believe it or not, I haven't made any actual cover image in landscape format yet.
Then when experimenting with the Set Cover button on the pages hoping...
re: Cannot search forum
Hi @ArtCrumbs,
Yes, I am trying again and it is still happening.
I am on a Windows 10 PC, tested in Google Chrome 115 (latest version), same Chrome in Incognito mode to discard session cookies that might interfere, MS Edge Chromium 115 (latest version), Firefox 114 (not the latest version, currently stuck updating itself).
Contrarily to what I said...
re: Using a chapter cover not from the comic
Thank you @SketchHarris for taking the time to study the case.
I had considered solution 1 but abandoned it because of the blank space.
I am almost able to use solution 2 right away as the first page of the first chapter starts with a vertical panel. I will experiment with splitting the page after it (not two equal halves though).
There's a third...
Using a chapter cover not from the comic
My comic is optimized for landscape orientation. However the cover images have to be portrait oriented, and the only way I found to have that is to add a portrait page into my chapter and set it as the cover. If I delete the page afterwards, the cover is lost.
Cannot search forum
When using the search box at the top of a forum section (not the top search box for comics), I get a browser alert that my changes will not be saved. Whether I click Leave or Stay, no search is done.

re: Welcome to the Official GlobalComix Helpdesk
Thank you @Christopher.
I eventually concluded that it worked this way but was still hoping for a workaround because the initial logic is boolean and, not boolean or. For instance:
Time travel: 45
Zombies: 119
Tick the Zombies checkbox, the results are:
Time travel: 1
Zombies: 119
I assume that an and logic caused the decrease from 45 to 1 . There is 1...

re: Welcome to the Official GlobalComix Helpdesk
Hello!
I'm trying to wrap my head around how tag filters work when listing titles under the Comics tab. Say I'm looking for cyberpunk comedy. I tick the Humor checkbox and get a selection, then I tick the Cyberpunk checkbox and, instead of getting a shorter list of the titles that are both Humor and Cyberpunk, I get a longer list of the titles that...
