  • Comics Kingdom error problems?

    From Darryl H@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 19 09:39:52 2021
    Is anyone noticing a site error code when accessing the King Features owned Comics Kingdom site this late morning/early afternoon September 19, 2021?

    It's a "Page Not Found" message on the Comics Kingdom site. I tweeted about it to Comics Kingdom.

    Yes, it hit while I was reading comics this AM (EDT); still down.

    Still down as of 2040 hrs CST.

    21:55 EST -- a few of them loaded when I clicked their bookmarks
    individually.

    Sometimes it took a few tries.

    So...how are Brian and Jimmy D getting their Family Circus recycled art strips to compare with the originals while Comics Kingdom is offline currently?

    any number of newspaper sites around the nation carrying Comics Kingdom.

    Guess what? As of the morning of 9/21/2021 - Comics Kingdom is back online and working again!

    Same problem shortly after midday today. It's the fortnightly bug!

    It's kind of working now, although it doesn't seem to realize it is no
    longer yesterday.

    Yup. Same thing as two weeks ago, except that I think they had the previous incident fixed by now. Last night, the Saturday->Sunday update time passed, then this morning it had deteriorated to the "page not found" state, even for CK's home page. Now it's
    back to showing Saturday's strips. Sigh.

    And now all strips are locked behind premium paywall. Yeah, like I'm paying for this flaky site.

    Dave Van Domelen, notes that the SeattlePI site is still on Saturday strips.
