a quick question about the auto updates

[Halfwing]

ok lets say today was march 17 2008. and i uploaded a file for 20080317 then it would update right?

but what if i added one for 20080318, 20080319, and 20080320. would it update on that day or would it wait and update to when i set it?

(sorry im a newbie who doesnt even have an account yet i just need to know this before i started.)

That's correct. You might have to change the update offset (change this in the "Your Comic" data section of siteadmin) to get it updating in accordance with midnight in your timezone, though.

but what if i added one for 20080318, 20080319, and 20080320. would it update on that day or would it wait and update to when i set it?

They would wait and upate on the days you set. If you wanted them all to go up on the same day, you'd write the filenames like so:

20080317a
20080317b
20080317c
20080317d

good i was hoping that i could just finish a chapter of my comic and upload them all at once so i can focus everything on the next chapter and not have to worry about uploading individual comics.


also what if it was 20080317, my last one was for 20080315, and i just uploaded one for say 20080313.

would it place it in the right spot

Yep. I suggest reading through the CGwiki pages. The tutorials and related pages over there are insanely helpful. You'll learn all kinds of tips and tricks for making your comic and website better.
