I guess there will be an infux of notifications from creators rearranging their series...
With the wall post notifications, creators can socialize much better now.
I thank the staff for their hard work. O)
Have a pleasant day~

Oh good. I needed this last week. I posted to my wall. No one saw it. So I deleted. XD;

Thanks for the updates!

Thanks for the updates! I'm looking forward to the iOS app update as well.

By the way, if we update an existing episode, will it also change the date for it? My chapters can run for a number of months, and I don't want new visitors to think I haven't added a new page in ages when I only updated the other day.

YESSSS! No more 'dummy episode' updating!

Chuckles 2015-01-21 13:49:13 UTC #16

YESSSS! Not even a 'dummy episode' update for 3 months!

Very cool! I'll have to see how I change up my updating.. Probably something similar to what I do on dA, where I upload pages by scenes. But I do like getting to write something new every episode.... HEY maybe I can ask everyone now, with this new feature

hmmm...So many great updates! Thanks a lot!!

I worry about the overwhelming amount of notifications that may come with this. Wall post, new episode post, new series post, updated episode post, reply comments an episode, and now reply comments to all the wall post conversations you're now attached to. It may get to be bit much. Is there possibly a way to categorize these notifications or unfollow conversations that are getting out of hand and spammy?

guilhermecahu 2015-01-21 17:01:23 UTC #20

Are you considering allowing the readers to activate/deactivate notifications for edition on episodes and from creators notifying subscribers?

Also, considering you implement this, how about allowing the reader to choose which creator/comic to receive notifications from?

ametueraspirant 2015-01-21 17:14:33 UTC #21

I can finally spam everyone dumb enough to follow me with my ramblings whenever I feel like it!

brianorlando 2015-01-21 18:34:35 UTC #22

Great points! We have an update planned specifically to address these concerns and give the reader more control over notifications. For now, we want to see how creators will use the feature before coming up with the appropriate settings.

rainbowolfe 2015-01-21 20:04:42 UTC #23

Oh my god, yes! so juiced about this update!

~~gotta go change up all my pages~~

lira 2015-01-21 21:09:40 UTC #24

Thank you so much, this is exactly what was needed most urgently on the site. You're awesome!

Raven_C 2015-01-21 21:25:22 UTC #25

I don't think anyone should opt out of updated-episode notifications simply because I know many creators will use that as a way to update a new page (I know I probably will. lol.) But it's a good idea to be able to unfollow certain wall posts convos and such...

OH wait, I just realized also that I follow a lot of webcomics on here by RSS not by subscriptions...If a creator decides to edit an episode to post a new page, will I be notified via RSS too? (Not sure if you guys even know the answer to this...haha). I just find RSS to be more convenient for me personally.

It's in the pipeline
