Hi, I found a way to download the picture. First, you click "edit", then when you are in the edit screen, you right click, and then you can save the image.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.154|108.162.246.154]] 01:24, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 
 
;No more JS Source
 
 
It is working on address https://xkcd.com/1975/ and not working on https://www.xkcd.com/1975/. Urls to comics should be updated to exclude www part. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.226.58|172.68.226.58]] 09:28, 26 March 2020 (UTC) tadej
 
 
I think there is no more JS source for it. I can only find it at [https://web.archive.org/web/20190817141628/https://xkcd.com/1975/alto/comic.js archive.org]. [[User:Biran4454|Biran4454]] ([[User talk:Biran4454|talk]]) 14:29, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 
 
Has this stopped working for anyone else? I just went to the comic today and the right click menu that showed up was the normal one, rather than
 
the altered one. Is this happening with anyone else? [[User:DanTheTransManWithoutAPlan|DanTheTransManWithoutAPlan]] ([[User talk:DanTheTransManWithoutAPlan|talk]]) 15:44, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 
 
:Yeah. I noticed this a while back, but accidentally put it at the bottom of the talk. When I go to the source, it says it can't find it. The last known code is the code I placed above. [[User:Biran4454|Biran4454]] ([[User talk:Biran4454|talk]]) 16:58, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 
 
Can somebody explain why almost all of the April Fools Day comics stopped working, when [[1110: Click and Drag]] and [[1608: Hoverboard]] Still work as usual?[[Special:Contributions/108.162.242.5|108.162.242.5]] 16:09, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
 
 
:I have no idea. Maybe Randall has just stopped them - but that would be really annoying because they are still really cool. Biran4454 17:57, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 
 
::...but why though? What reason would he have for shutting them down?[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.116|108.162.216.116]] 20:00, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 
 
:::It seems to work fine now. I don't know when it started working again. Biran4454 11:51, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 
  
 
Sorry if this has been found already, but I'm going to post it since I haven't seen it anywhere in here. If you input the konami code into https://uni.xkcd.com/ weird stuff happens. First time around, it puts all the letters in caps. Second time, it doesn't seem to do anything? Next, text gets highlighted in red. Another and the screen starts shaking. Another; the screen sort of flashes and a character with a beard holding two katanas/machetes with XK  CD surrounding it appears faintly in the background. I've done the code maybe 20 more times and nothing else seems to happen. [[User:Tidepool|Tidepool]] ([[User talk:Tidepool|talk]]) 21:47, 24 May 2018 (UTC)Tidepool

Sorry if this is already well known, but there are a couple unlisted commands, e.g. you can delete things individually using rm -rf. It looks like auto-completion and * don't work. [[User:Power Factor|Power Factor]] ([[User talk:Power Factor|talk]]) 03:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Could be known already, but sending "hi" or "hello" (case indifferent) to uni.xkcd.com elicits a response of "Hi." and "Hello" respectively. Sending "xkcd" gives "Yes?" back. All of these are in all caps if the Konami/Contra code easter egg has been activated.
 
  
 
Reluctant to call it an Easter Egg, but  Utilities / Identify Song / Hey Now / Hey now na now / Sing "This Corrosion" to me inverts the colours on the comic/background [[User:Maslink|Maslink]] ([[User talk:Maslink|talk]]) 02:02, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Sooooo just FYI, any similarities to Ready Player One are 100% unintentional. (I can't speak for Randall but I worked on that bit and I haven't read/seen it.) It was just an Easter egg unlock because it was... literally Easter. And we put it there and in Mornington Crescent as the longest/most complicated paths. Apparently if you throw enough 80s/90s nerd references at the wall now, you get Ready Player One. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  [[Special:Contributions/172.68.141.232|172.68.141.232]] 18:46, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Why is this still incomplete? [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 16:47, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

:Because nobody is yet convinced enough (rightly or wrongly) that it is complete? And, given that there were fairly recent revisions (in January and February, with different tweaks that may be considered hovering around/near substantive), perhaps we comunally think there's room for improvement?
 
:But if you think it is complete (and I'm not even saying that you should thoroughly rule out there being any more undocumented features to it, though I'd say that'd help - easier for a single-panel static comic than this, naturally) then you could take the plunge. Explanations can still change ''after'' being 'complete'.
 
:Or leave it, because there's no harm in (official) Incompletedness even if it is factually complete. The mechanism of highlighting articles (originally those with ''no'' Explanation, that needed creation, before the one supposed to "fill in the details") is now much of a curiosity and a boilerplate thing that gives the community here a place to express our own single guaranteed spot of humour (the thing the BOT might get changed to).
 
:That's the beauty of the wiki, you can do what you like and (so long as it isn't grossly against the group's expectations, and get bounceback) perhaps shift the centre of the common attitude to how these things should be conducted. And you're a good (nitpicking) editor, where I've rarely seen you edit with anything that I'd consider outright wrong (not claiming to be an authority on this; I'm clearly not, just my observation!) so I'm perfectly happy to let you think about this. And I couldn't ever stop you thinking/doing, anyway. ;) [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.159|141.101.99.159]] 22:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
How do you post screenshots here lol [[User:Psychoticpotato|Psychoticpotato]] ([[User talk:Psychoticpotato|talk]]) 16:02, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Unable to touch most options ==
 
 
 
On an iPad (Safari) I can't manage to touch any options apart from File, Edit, Close and Backup. Therefore I cannot experience the interactivity of the comic. Has this happened to you? [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.185|172.70.85.185]] 19:19, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

There is a programming language under the same name. [[User:ColorfulGalaxy|ColorfulGalaxy]] ([[User talk:ColorfulGalaxy|talk]]) 20:20, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 
:Indeed, and it looks [https://esolangs.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent good fun], though I'm only presently running its potentialities through my own head (slightly distracted by having a copy of {{w|The Great Bear (lithograph)|a very similar map}} currently up on my wall). Certainly the same source of inspiration, perhaps with a proper nod to the formalised rules as eventually brought together by Stovold, though no reference there to laterals, being in Nidd, etc...
