Parking Domains [Mostly OT]

Does anybody know of a good place to park domains (I also need to buy one or two more)? I’d really like to get them away from GoDaddy, but it seems as if transferring domains is no less complicated than it was twenty-odd years ago. Which is ridiculous.

So I’m looking for someplace that makes it really, really simple.

Unfortunately, comicsidontunderstand.com itself will probably have to stay with GoDaddy, because I have a feeling moving the domain name elsewhere and trying to keep it directing to godaddyandthesquirrelmustbothdie.wordpress.com will just lead to Comicgeddon 2.

Thanks.

In case anybody’s wondering, the Moderation Gremlin went completely nuts this morning

I have no idea why; but I’ve released all the prisoners.

Houston, have we had a problem?

I just noticed there’s been zero activity here for close to four hours. Certainly that’s not beyond the realm of possibility, but it’s unusual enough — especially midday on a Friday — to warrant making sure nothing’s amiss.

So if somebody could respond with “Kowalski says hi,” I’d appreciate it (my own posts always go through, so I’m a useless test subject).

Just in case anybody’s wondering…

Yes, the Moderation Filter has gone insane this week.

Moderation Oddity

Apparently, comments containing really long URLs go into Moderation: it’s as if the program’s just too lazy to read it all and figures “Yeah, there must be something bad in there somewhere.”

The All-New Random Comments Page for the Summer of 2019

Please note that this is intended for public comics-related (or comics semi-related) comments only: if you want to send me a CIDU, or a comic for some specific folder (Ewww, Oy, etc), or you want to inform me of a typo, please e-mail me at CiduBill@gmx.com

Also: A list of the site’s most recent comments can be found in the left sidebar. A database of all the comments, compiled by larK, is here.

The All-Old Random Comments Page is here.

Whither the Random Comments Page

Everybody seems to have gone back to using the version linked to from the left sidebar — which makes sense, because it’s the only one anybody can find. And nobody (including me) likes the idea of linking to it from a post permanently on the front page.

So let’s just go back to using the old one.

There are drawbacks, among them comments not showing up on the Recent Comments list and the fact that there are already 46,000 comments there, but I’m just not going to have the time in the foreseeable future to find a workaround to WordPress’s refusal to let me change the links.

If indeed there is one.

Moderation

Just for the record, the Moderation Police made a lot of arrests today, not a single one of them valid.

All have been released.

The New Random Comments Page

It now exists, but I’m still trying to link to it from the sidebar. I swear, WordPress is making  it more and more difficult to do anything not in their suggested template.

 

Guess who doesn’t learn from his mistakes

Remember last week when an update was really late because I was in Manhattan at midnight and my computer of course was in New Jersey?
