can I get a whole backlog online at once?

Not sure if I'm asking this right - I would like to be able to get my entire backlog of pages up, since I'm coming on board here at ComicGen with a comic that's been running for a while.

If I ftp older pages to my workspace folder all with dates before the current date, will they all go up when the update takes effect? I couldn't find any reference to this sort of thing in any of the tutorials, etc.

I was also going to ask about why when I tried to run a manual comic update, I didn't see the queue number increase by one, as the ionstructions said it should. But then I see people talking about the queue being clogged, so maybe that was the reason...?

thanks for any help.

Yeah if u backdate comics and run a update they'll all go up at once.

They queues probably did increase by one, but at the same time someone else's update may have finished processing.

thanks.

I thought of another question, too: if we want to replace a pre-existing page, can we simply upload another page with the same yy-mm-dd filename, and it will simply overwrite the one that's already there, or do we first have to delete the page we're replacing from the public_html comics folder?

Just put it in /workspace/comics and run an update. The new one will override the old one.
