− | :Neither on Firefox 31.0. Zooming until the first level of pictures, I see them appearing. But when they are larger than ~20 pixels they start to disappear. They only reappear intermittently when I pan or zoom. When I zoom in further, only images on the left side appear intermittently. This shows the grid is built from left to right, then top to bottom, and it just stops randomly. --[[User:Zom-B|Zom-B]] ([[User talk:Zom-B|talk]]) 20:32, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

− | :I'm having different problems with both Firefox 31.0 and 32.0 on Windows. When zooming in, all pixels (including white parts of the image) resolve to images with black background, so I never see the "white" ones (except for the initial "turtles" one). Anyone having the same problem? IE11 works for me. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.186|141.101.99.186]] 21:52, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

I think if someone is going to make such claims, they should be careful to note which version of the software they're working with so others can compare appropriately.

− | How do you get all these 'interesting' panels? No matter how much I scroll and pan I only get the space objects (including the Earth with 'BOOK LAUNCH' inscription), atoms and the MU panel (but never got either HOLISM or REDUCTIONISM).

| |
− |
| |
− | This may be nitpicking, but Randall's words "scroll to zoom" are misleading.
| |
− | * When I visited http://xkcd.com/1416/ first on my smartphone, I scrolled the page and nothing zoomed.
| |
− | * Next, when I visited http://xkcd.com/1416/ on my PC, I scrolled the page and nothing zoomed.
| |
− | * Only when on the PC I use the mouse wheel, nothing scrolled but the image zoomed.
| |
− |
| |
− | The text should really be "Use mouse wheel to zoom".

− | [http://xkcd.com/1373/ When someone posts a comic, I can't pay attention to the content if the words are misleading].

− | Mikemk added "The plate on the turtle is Greek mythology, far before the 18th century". I can't actually find anything about a World Turtle from Greek mythology ({{w|Chelone (Greek mythology)|Chelone}} was just an ordinary-sized turtle who did not support the world), but I've added a mention of other ancient myths. I propose to remove Mikemk's addition to the "Incomplete" tag in a few days, if nobody objects. [[User:Cosmogoblin|Cosmogoblin]] ([[User talk:Cosmogoblin|talk]]) 12:31, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

− | In my ongoing war against the "Incomplete" tag, I've added a great deal of detailed explanation to various panels. '''I''' think it's fine now, but it could really do with a review by somebody else! In particular, it would be great if somebody more familiar than myself with the terms could check through what I've written for Mu, Holism and Reductionism.
