And add different pictures for when you are angry, happy, homicidal, ect.

I'd love to do that, but I'm not really sure How.

Is there any information you could provide on it?

Beats me. It works on My friends comic though. *shrug* It's worth a try though, right? and if it ends up screwing up, hey, you'll have your own version of stumbleupon. XD

It works because he created the function in his JavaScript code. It's not a standard nor common function.

You'd have to edit the PHP. I have this:

CODE

$result = pg_query($sql, 'SELECT comicid FROM comics ORDER BY random() LIMIT 1');
if(pg_num_rows($result) > 0)
header('Location: comic.php?id=' . pg_fetch_result($result, 0, 0));
else {
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
echo("No comics; redirecting to latest");
}

I'm using PostgreSQL since I wrote the stuff from scratch, but it should be pretty much similar for MySQL too (except the functions wouldn't start with pg_ and would be documented here).

comicid is the unique ID number for each comic, comics is the table that stores all the comics and their IDs, and comic.php displays the comic for a given comicid.

Granted, there aren't many threads that large (yet; My "What if?" game is going fairly quickly), but it's an interesting feature to think about adding.

That exists, it's a little blue icon that appears in front of the topic title.
