Yeah, I've already placed a blank index file in the directory to prevent anyone from getting into it, but... yeah, my numbering system is reeeaaally easy to guess because I thought that I'd start getting confused if I started to try and make up a coding system for it.  I think that that's what I have to do though, as I've just realized that for in some areas, I hotlink to the page itself, so setting up the mod_rewrite rules would be very inconvenient for me. :/

I kinda wish my script would do it, but considering that I have around 200 pages of archives, I really don't feel like switching to another script now...  I guess it's one of the things I should've taken into consideration before I set it up.

I store all the buffer for my webcomic in a folder that's very easy to get into, with a very easy to figure out numbering system.  I think that most webcomics scripts automatically encodes the name for you, but my script doesn't... 

So my problem is that lots of people are reading my webcomic directly from my cache, which I don't really like.  Is there a way to prevent people from accessing the images in any way other than from the site? 

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don't have AIM...
I am trying port 22, and I'm using sftp on my school's ftp program, but at home I use winscp.  I've tried both scp and sftp, at both port 21 and 22, and neither work. :(
At school I use Transmit, there's an sftp option, and at home I use WinSCP.
Sorry that this is such a pain...  Just that my site's been down for almost a week and I'm desperate to fix it.

I was trying www.xepher.net instead of just xepher.net, it still hasn't worked. :(
I thought that maybe I got locked out, but I just tried it on my school comp, which has a different IP, but it still didn't work.  Does it lock out my account entirely?

I'm having the same problem... I know what my password is, because I've tried it and it works in the member services.  However, it still won't let me log in for some reason.  It just gives me a "connection refused". 
At first I thought it was my router because it blocks access to dreamhost, but I tried it on my school computer, and it still doesn't work. :/  Any ideas?

Yep, I do realize that I set it to "pass".  I'd just like to thank them anyway.  I'll send you an email about it, thanks a lot. :)

Hosting Q&A / Another donation question
October 18, 2007, 11:41:25 PM
I know that you're planning on changing the donation system, but as of now, is there any way of finding out who donated to me?  Just their emails or something, so I can thank them personally?  I'd really like to do that, but on my account I can only see how much has been donated in total. :/

Alright, I'll do that.
I really don't think I can rewrite the script if I tried, but I'll report the problem on their forum and see how they respond.  Thanks for everything.

Sorry for the trouble, but that... didn't seem to make a difference. :(
Can I maybe leave the newsbox out until the new version is ready to be used?

Well, the thing was it was working perfectly without it, and it broke as soon as I put it in, so I tried removing it to see if it's better.  And for some reason, it isn't. :/

Actually... it's still not working fully with the script...
http://crescens.xepher.net/fish/

:/

And once again, it's perfectly fine without the box: http://crescens.xepher.net/fish/index2.php

Oh, it works!! :D :D
But... now all the visual configuration is gone.  Is there any way to incorporate those, or am I asking or too much?

I... honestly don't even know where that line is, so I don't know how to fix it. D:

Here is the working script: http://crescens.xepher.net/fish/index2.php

All I did was remove this:
