I thought about this going in Cafe Society, but it’s more of a technical issue than a content issue – for the past few days, when I view [sinfest.net](http://sinfest.net), I get an “x” instead of the pictures. I’m using Firefox on Windows 8. The same thing happens if I try to use IE9. Is it just me? And if so…what do I do?

There’s issues with the site, and they’re working on it. In the meantime you can use this link to the website.

There seems to be a server/site problem, there have been many outages through the past few days. As of Thursday/Friday you could see the day’s strip in the Forum thread discussing it but not on the front page. As of this morning even the Forum threads have been whacked all the way back to the 30th October, apparently in an attempt to back up and restore. The front page strips can’t be seen past the 17th save through the direct IP address above.

Thanks! That helped me get over my withdrawal symptoms! (I won’t say it’s my absolute favorite web comic…but, wow, it’s a good one, and has been dependably thought-provoking from the beginning.)

I’m actually glad you brought it up. I had forgotten all about sinfest until I saw this thread. I’ve got months of comics to catch up on.
