How have I been reading Oglaf for so long without knowing about the epilogues?

...oh crap, I'm going to have to reread the whole thing, aren't I.

Nah, the wiki makes it much easier.

And the mouseovers. And the alt text, which is different again.

And the mock ads at the bottom.

ETA: Explanation: Sometimes the banner at the bottom will contain an actual (randomized) ad, but many of the comics have their own funny mock ad associated. (When I noticed this, I went through all the ones I had already read again, to not miss out on that content.)

(I thought I'd clarify this, because this comment got downvoted - possibly because the downvoter misunderstood it as sarcasm?)

What's the difference between a mouseover and an alt text?

Comment author: tut 13 September 2013 02:50:40PM *  0 points [-]

Mouseover is javascript EDIT: or CSS and shows up when you hover your pointer over some trigger area. Alt text is plain HTML and shows up when the image (or whatever it is alt text for) doesn't load.

How do you get alt text to appear if the image loads? Read source?

Comment author: linkhyrule5 13 September 2013 06:54:41PM 2 points [-]

Yup.

There's also title text (often called a tool tip) which appears when you hover the mouse over an image, but is a plain HTML feature.

Comment author: David_Gerard 13 September 2013 07:51:27PM 2 points [-]

No, mouseover is TITLE= and alt text ls ALT=. Mouseover doesn't rely on Javascript. Alt text is specifically for putting in place of an image; it used to be used for mouseovers as well, but then TITLE= came in for that.

Javascript is not actually required. CSS handles it.

For anyone unaware, SMBC has an additional joke panel when you mouse over the red button at the bottom

Comment author: MugaSofer 07 September 2013 10:14:35PM 1 point [-]

Actually, you have to click it now. Just a heads up to anyone reading this and trying to find them.

AAAARGH!!! Why do they keep it secret?

That's almost as annoying as that you have to know the name of Zach's wife to create an account and comment, when for a long time the name of Zach's wife was not findable either on the website or via Google.

(I don't remember her name.)

Thank you very much.

It's usually the funnest panel, too.

Comment author: MugaSofer 07 September 2013 10:17:42PM 2 points [-]

I ... was not aware it was even possible to comment on SMBC.

AAAARGH!!! Why do they keep it secret?

It's an example of failing to update traditions after their original purpose has eroded, for the record. It was originally a reward for voting, which is why SMBC fans still refer to it as a "votey". The voting atrophied, while creating the reward became part of his routine.
