Has anyone else noticed the relatively low turnout for Tales of the Questor this month? I think this is the first time it didn't come out ahead of the others. In fact, at the moment it's in dead last this month.

More important, look at the low overall turnout. Ralph is going to need a lot more contributions if he's to have anything to live on without having to go back to an outside job.

do those donations include what he gets through book and CD sales?

It's my understanding that the donation meters reflect only donations to support the strips, not sales or anything else. And I seriously doubt that sales of books or CD's are apt to be much more than petty cash.

I'll have to take your word for it - as of 7/30 at 11:30 PM, the "this month" boxes for all 3 strips are blank

I assume they depend on Ralph's manually updating them - pity there's presumably no way to link them to his Paypal account(s) and automatically update them

As of this moment, the boxes that read "previous month" refer to donations recieved in July.
However, a short while ago I recieved a sizeable donation for Questor, so the meters will have to be updated again.

Hmmm... Must be another "Mozilla for Linux" quirk...
Generally, the area labled "This Month" shows up as blank for me.
I can only see last month's total. Oh well...
Makes it all a lot more mysterious, y'see.

It's manually updated.
currently, "last month" refers to July.
