Some of the comics on penny-arcade.com refuse to show. Instead I just get white text of the comic's title where the comic oughtta be. Is there a way to fix this? :?

    Are you using adblock?

    No. And besides, it only happens for some comics.

    That doesn't eliminate that possibility. Ad blocking could easily block out some comics and not others, based on the file names and alt text of the images.

    All together now! :P

    Can you post an example comic that's not showing; and is it always the same comics that are no-shows, or does it change when you close the browser/restart the computer?

    Also, which OS and browser are you using? Try a different one (FireFox/Chrome) if possible.

    When I was younger so much younger then today,
    I never needed anybody's help in any way...


    OP, if you're using firefox, could you try using tamper data to see if the request for the image is loading? Alternatively you could use wireshark to look at the actual line traffic and see if you're getting a response to the image request. The output from wireshark can be a bit overwhelming though.

    I think Wireshark is a bit overkill at the moment, let's try the simpler step of "alternate browser" :P

    Unless you suspect his ISP of being so nefarious as to packet-shape Penny-Arcade. D:

    hm. this reminds me of this thread a while back right after the new page update. maybe thats what is going on? alpha listed a few alternatives that may work for the comics you are missing.
