Sexy New Site Design
on June 7, 2009 at 11:37 pmWhat’s this? The Internet just got sexier! Yes, your favorite website just got favoritier. You see, we made a bet that we’d have to update our site if we couldn’t arm wrestle one hundred swarthy Irish deck-hands. Naturally, we were able to easily wrest them all into submission, but as a show of good faith we updated the site anyway. We wouldn’t want to embarrass poor Seamus and his crew. So, now everyone knows that we’re strong, hard-working, and sportsman-like. Also modest. And handsome.
So check out the new digs! Here, have a seat right here. We’ve cleaned up the place. We treat you nice. We’ll buy you ice cream and diamonds if we ever meet you. So if you look around, you’ll find some new stuff! You’ll find all the old stuff, too! And if you’re looking for things that may or may not have been hidden, they’re still around! They have just found new places to hide because all of you are so clever and found all of their old places. So peek around, let your lovely eyes suck up some of the new layout and then lean back in your comfortable chair and say “Ahhh…” like you just took a long pull from a cold and refreshing soda pop.
We hope you like the layout. And if you don’t, Well … then we’ll pull out your heart and show it to you.

P.S. Since nothing is perfect, you can always help us squash a few bugs.
Damnit… I see your egg code, but can’t find how to use it… sigh. … maybe its a bug on the FF3 Beta for os X?
That’s what I’m using and it’s clear sailing for me!
Oh but i forgot to say everything else is as awesome as your comics!
Woo thanks for making my favorite site more favoriter
I’m finding the same problem as Kris. I cannot find where to click for the egg. I even checked past comics where I have been able to click before, but now I can’t.
Ice cream and diamonds, eh? Hmmm…
I just got finished mocking someone for not linking directly to the comic page on reddit, and now the hidden panels completely disappear!
Thanks!
Laura, to find the hidden stuff you may need to think “outside of the box.”
*hint*
*hint*
I was able to find it after a bit of searching, it’s all working fine.
I like the new site, but I don’t like how the hidden comic is now just a static hidden question mark. It was more enjoyable when it was incorporated into the comics themselves. Is there any specific reason for this change?
Gabriel, our new format makes things way easier/cleaner for us in the long run, but unfortunately clickable regions *in* the comics was no longer viable. It was a necessary sacrifice, but we’re happy with the work-around. Hopefully you’ll learn to love it like a baby brother.
What about comics with multiple hidden comics? For example: http://www.amazingsuperpowers.com/2009/03/death-of-cobain/ only has the one. There used to be two! I am both frightened and confused! GAAAH!
Good catch! We are finding a solution for those at this very moment!
Definitely more favoritier. I’m having the same problem with the egg, I’ve tried both Firefox 3.0.10 and IE8 (I don’t use it so why update it). hope that helps the bug hunting.

oh right… read everything else then it becomes apparent. sigh, if only my feble brain could grasp this concept.

Ah – ok, I found it – tricksy …..
I finally got it to work… but when i originally posted the graphic would not appear on mouseover…. Finally!
Good work guys
Hey, love your comics, love your site.
Since nobody else said it, it seems that your website’s font renders rather ugle in Safari v4. FF v3 looks great.
I’m not sure but maybe it’s because of ‘text-shadow:0 0 0 #000000;’ attribute of your body.
Keep up the good work!
I only recently started reading your strips and u guys are AMAZING(oh yes i went didz it). If it wasn’t interesting or funny, I probably would have kept my mouth shut(unlike the hooker with the vice in her mouth).
I keep searching for the hidden comic but cant find it.
Site still isn’t rendering properly in Opera for me. And yes, I did have the latest version of Opera (9.64). 😛 Updated to Opera 10.00b1 (beta) and still having the same issue. Could it be a Linux related issue? I’m using Ubuntu 9.04 (see I’m not totally hopeless, at least I’m not using FreeBSD… I just made myself seem even geekier, just for knowing what that is, didn’t I?) and everything is totally updated.
You guys have to help! AmazingSuperPowers.com is my only hope for getting out of my parents basement and losing my virginity before I’m 30, er *does the math* 35!!
Seriously though, it’s possible a setting got screwed up for me when I updated to 9.04, so if it checks out for you I’ll see if I can figure out what is wrong at my end.
What do you see? Do you see nothing? Can you see the comic? The only Linux machine I’ve personally tested is an eeePC, and the only glitch is that the slug lies against a white background (a transparent swf display issue).
I see the slug on the white background as you describe. Everything else is working perfectly.
just wanted to let you know that the site is now working properly in Opera in Linux. Late last week I was still having the transparency issue, but now it is fine. There were a handful of updates for Ubuntu so either that or something you guys did fixed the issue.
Cool, man! Thanks for the update and we’re glad things are good now.
this is ridiculous. is there a PROBLEM with having the main comic on the front page?
unless im missing something major, this seems completely asinine.
The main comic is on the front page, which leads me to believe you are missing something major. What browser are you using?
Go into your “Preferences” in firefox and under “content” make sure that we aren’t listed as an exception under “load images automatically”
