Broken links (or “dead links” are the bane of many websites. And WowHumor is no exception.
Simply put, a broken link is a link that points to a web page or server that is unavailable. Resulting in either 404 errors (where the web server is found the page isn’t found on the server) or DNS errors (where it can’t find the server).
I have just fixed a few of them that somehow escaped my gaze when adding the pages. Many of them were rather important to and, if you were wondering what the Next button on the 8th image didn’t work, it’s because it was the link was broken (and even if it wasn’t you’d get stuck at images 35, 36 and 37).
These have been fixed, among many other broken links and should hopefully provide a much smoother viewing experience. In fact, it should let you view the images full stop.

I’ve finally gotten around to adding the last few images to the database. Why haven’t I done so before? Two reasons:
There’s really no excuse to it, so I won’t try and make one.
On another note, the contact form is also working again! Do not ask how it is, but know that it is! So feel free to spam our inbox again with letters or how much you dislike our laziness (or even letters of love <3).
The submission form however, has not been so lucky, and hopefully the script’s writer will get back to me and fix the problem. If not, well we’ll have to come up with an alternative then.
On another note aside from the “another note” above, it’s nearly our one-year anniversary. This will be on the 29th of November and I will make another blog entry on that date. I will say now, however, that whilst I believe the site has been a “success” thus far, we could have done much better, and one of my New Year’s resolutions will be to do so!
I’ll speak more on that subject in two weeks time, as for now: Black Friday awaits thee, let’s see what trouble I get myself in tonight!

The ratings system is now working as it should be. Visitors can rate any posts (such as this one) but you will need to register an account and be logged into the site before you can vote on images.
More images are also being added as we speak. I’m also thinking of ways to improve upon the random image part of the site (the random picture that’s found just below the navigation bar on some pages) as currently it is quite intrusive.

Just a little status report from me concerning the ratings system and the rest of the images.
Still trying to kink out a few bugs with the system currently. The major one being that some users cannot vote on any of the pictures. Either because that particular image has had it’s votes “locked” (meaning you can’t vote on them at all) or because the system just won’t let you. I’ll try and fix this as soon as possible.
As of current only ~60 images have been added to the system, yet roughly 117 actually lie in the server. Therefore, by doing some simple maths, 57 images still need their own pages. This is currently being worked on and those extra images should be added soon. You may even seem them spring up now and then if you continuously refresh the main page (with the random image on it).
The website and forum accounts have yet to be merged due to some technical difficulties when trying to do so. I will attempt to remedy this next weekend, if not earlier.
