The updates have been on hold for while, but we're back on track!
It's one of the biggest updates yet. Animecon sure brought us a lot of new things!
Now that the manga and shop pages finally have a decent amount of contents, I have rearranged the menu order a bit. The front page had also been bugging me, so I made it a bit more compact.
The shop still has a kind of a temporary layout solution.

okay...the site really looks better this way...and the webcomic is real good(did you draw and write it Yakumo?)...Very nice work

Update!
Our site used to be a storage place for all sorts of background information about Howling Riot, but since we have more and more goods to sell nowadays, the site has to change along to a more direct approach.

The manga pages and previews have been completely changed into a single, far more direct and user-friendly page, and the contact form is back, directly on the main links page.
Mana-chan had a few insights in website appeal that we talked about, and I already had something along these lines sketched down somewhere, just not this compact yet. But it is now.
How does the new manga preview system work for you?

A big update today!
The menu has changed to include much-needed submenus, to make room for new features that will be added in the future. There are so many sides to Howling Riot that they don't fit in a simple short menu. All the important stuff is still right there on the big buttons.
I've put a direct forum link in the upper right, for the ease of all regular forum visitors

One of the new features is the buddymap, or guestbook map, if you will.
http://www.howlingriot.com#howl
On this map, you and other visitors can add their location, name, and guestbook comment. I hope to see the dots expand to all over the world.

For our buyers, I interfaced with Google to create an interactive map to display Howling Riot's territory and current distribution points. By the way, can anybody tell me the address of Chibicon? And, would you want to see other comic stores as well?

There is also a new wallpaper, this time an animated one, which fits right on your windows desktop. (but of course doesn't work in FireFox >.>)
And last but not least, my brilliant technical skills have devised the most user-friendly "link us" page ever. It is my intention to make different sizes available of each banner design. Got any requests?

Chibicon is held at the Galgenwaard Sportscentre (see: here), and the address given on the website of the Sportscentre is as follows:

Sportcentrum Galgenwaard
Herculesplein 341
3584 AA Utrecht

Okay, I've added it to the map ^_^ Thank you for looking it up.

Maybe you have already heard of this store, but my father told me about this article in the local newspaper, and I thought you might find a potential volunteer/victim willing to sell the Howling Riot manga/merchandise there.

[yakumo]

Well, I knew Jan was enthusiastic about manga, and I knew De Fantast, and I knew his store would be a great target for us, and we failed to ask him about it at the comic fair in Kampen last time, but I didn't know he opened a new manga store!
This looks like a job for... Veggochan! \o/

New posts stay until opened,

Hey, when ever I open 1 new post on the forum, I go back to the forum with the index button all new posts are gone, I have to scroll by date, this is taking a lot longer to browse, especially with a lot of new posts it's kinda annoying

Also the subject, would be nice to have that one auto-filled in with the first subject-line as I post a reply in that subject, handy to keep track of things.

Keep it up, it's a really nice forum, like lurking around here

Same here. It doesn't happen all the time though...
