Hey! Thank you everyone for all the suggestions!
Fox does want me to make the links on the front page go straight to the latest comic instead of the archives. This will require a little bit of work, mostly to give a consistent "latest page" link, as well as some archive and comic webpage redesign to make it easier to use.
Regarding the page size on larger monitors, that was actually something Fox asked for pretty much as soon as the site went live. It mostly looks fine for the main site which is where we did most of the design, but the forums don't look *quite* so great with the fixed width. Once I've had a chance to figure out the layout for flexible pages I'll be putting that up live.
I am going to be making other design tweaks based on feedback (I've already made one teeny one, making the font 11pt instead of 10pt to make it a bit easier to read at higher resolutions and on mobile, though the forum layout is just a touch broken there at the moment).
We've also had some problems with the comic pages going up a few hours early. It's not a huge problem, but it's definitely indicative of a bug in my code (it's supposed to go up at midnight eastern, but right now it's going up at 8PM eastern. I suspect it's using GMT midnight instead for some reason).
Finally, I've had reports of SSL being broken on XP. Unfortunately all our SSL is done by Cloudflare so we can't enable the old (broken) encryption we'd need to support it, and it'd be a bit of a pain to rewrite all the links to support either/or for plain http links (I know it's possible, but XP accounts for such a small number of visitors that my time needs to be focused on the bigger issues).
