Didn't find this suggestion in the archives, so here goes:

Is there any chance we can get a random comic page function akin to bash.org's '>0'? In its simplest form, a page displaying a bunch of comics which randomizes every refresh. We already have the random first-panel preview on the front page which lists the first panel of comics above a certain rating, but it would be really nice if we could modify that existing system to display several comics on a page in their entirety, complete with title, author and date.

I think it'd be a great resource, especially for new people like me. It seems it should be pretty easy to implement considering we already have the system in place for the front page preview; it seems logical that it should be easy to modify it to display several full comics on a page instead of one cropped one.

In general, a much better way to find gems you haven't read before. Thoughts?

We already have random.php

The problem is there isn't a link to it on the front page!

What he said.  But I wouldn't describe it as a good way to find "gems".

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

random.php really is random, though. It doesn't have the filtering system the front page preview does, so it's pretty much useless.

I'd be happy with a random.php page that, like the front page preview, only displays comics above a certain rating. Being able to pick the rating would be an added bonus.
