The Bookmarkable Link to the Most Current Page

Ah! I know what's going on here. The URL in the note above is special: it's like a script. That exact URL (with the ? and everything) needs to be what your bookmark is. To do that, you need to save the bookmark a bit differently. You sort of need to "trick" your browser. STEP 1: Create a bookmark from any page. Doesn't matter what because you're going to change it. STEP 2: Open the Bookmark Manager of your browser (might be called a different name, but it's whatever your browser uses to organize your bookmarks.) STEP 3: Find the bookmark you just saved. STEP 4: Edit the bookmark. STEP 5: Delete whatever URL is currently in the bookmark and copy-paste the URL from this page in its place: webcomics.yaoi911.com/?last_webcomic=webcomic2 STEP 6: Save the bookmark. STEP 7: Try that bookmark out! When you use it, it should now put "webcomics.yaoi911.com/?last_webcomic=webcomic2" into the URL field, which acts like a command for my Web site, and will then after a moment change the URL to the current page URL. Please let me know if that works for you! Thanks! :)

I'm not sure if I'm just doing it wrong, or what, but everytime I use this link, as soon as it gets to the current page, the URL changes immediately to that page and I can't use the link as a bookmark. Help?

Yep, I agree. The best practice will just be to make a new bookmark with the new link. :)

My old bookmark for the comic (I've now changed it after the updates). When I opened the old one as I used to, to click on Last to get the new page, it didn't show your new updates to the site. To see the changes you've made, I had to refresh the site (f5). There could be others that have to do that, but they don't know and therefor see the pre-updated site still. Fastest way to keep it is to make that new bookmark.

Howdy Danish! Glad to hear the link is working well for you! I'm not sure I understand when you ask "Question: Will you make a link to this feature on the TYP site too?" This link should work for everyone at any time -- just create a bookmark with it in your browser and you're good to go. Are you asking if I'm going to tell non-Patrons about the link? If so, then the answer is yes. I'll include it with my note under the post tomorrow and also include it in the FAQ. But I figured I'd wait a couple days and let the Patrons enjoy using it first. I'm not sure I understand what's going on with your "faved bookmark" -- could you explain further? What is the URL you used for that and what's happening when you go to that URL? Thanks for you help, Danish!

Testing it around a little and first of all, thank you for making the link happen :) It works like a charm when you post it into the address bar. Question: Will you make a link to this feature on the TYP site too? So it's easy to find again, and for new readers. Going to the page any way but through the link posted here and you still have to do it the old way (clicking the Last). Can see I have to update my faved bookmark for the site because when I go that way the updates aren't there. I have to f5 to see them. Maybe something to tell readers as I'm probable not the only one. I have to admit that I like the previous text type (think it was Times New Roman) used for the comments better than the new one. Feel like the new looks bigger, though I know it isn't, but that I'll probably get used to. The Previous/Last-buttons under the page can sure be seen now, being almost twice the size xD

Thank you, Dave! Yep, I am a backup evangelist who believes in multiple redundancy. It saved my bacon this week for sure. I also want to give a shout out to the developer of my webcomic software, Michael Sisk: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mgsisk">https://www.patreon.com/mgsisk</a> who went above and beyond with personally helping me upgrade the site for this second attempt today. A total rock star and a gentleman that one. :)

Alex Woolfson

Yay! Glad it will be getting some good use! :D

First thanks. Second, Before I retired, I worked for a government agency as a chemical engineer. There was a time when our computer people (who were very strange. Not just computer nerds but people who kept changing the system and never told anyone about it). That's important. There was at me when they announced an upgrade, we would all run to our computers and make CD-ROM's of all our recent data before we left work or before they cut the network. If we couldn't make CD-ROMS then we emailed all the current work to our home computers. It was panic time. Like screaming, unadulterated panic. As we found out later from other computer nerds. Each of the people in the computer department ran the network as their own and kept making undocumented changes to it. Since the computer department refused to buy computers, all 1000 of them. . . (yes it's true. It is a concept only a bureaucracy can create and justify) each computer attached to the network and all sorts of "undocumented and unauthorized software" on it. At each upgrade or network software update, all of those changes and software would run crazy, ragingly wild and get goody. Then collapse in a bundle of nothing. A day or two later for use mere workers, it would return with recriminations from the computer people. I have no fear left for upgrades. I do not panic at anything anymore. And Alex - - Congrats on keeping a backup (those computer people didn't) and congrats on only having one problem. That would have been record time years ago.

Thanks for this Alex. It's so great to have it sitting in my Bar... quietly waiting for instant TYP access. GREAT.
