 * Received a message saying: This is an automated reminder that the buffer for [
   our webcomic] expires on 30 October 2014.
 * I can’t see information that I can understand as to what exactly this means or
   what a buffer is/does and if I can ignore this.
 * Any help?

 * The buffer refers to comics scheduled to publish at some point in the future.
   For example, if you had comics for the next six months finished and uploaded 
   to WordPress – but scheduled to publish sometime in the future – you’d have a
   six month buffer before you’d absolutely have to start working on more comics(
   or miss your publishing schedule). By default, the buffer alert starts warning
   you seven days prior to all of those scheduled webcomics being published as a
   way to remind you that you might want to publish more comics.
 * Nothing will happen if you _don’t_ publish more comics, so you can safely ignore
   this (it’s just a reminder). You can also completely disable buffer alerts by
   going to your collection settings page (e.g. Untitled Webcomic > Settings) in
   the admin dashboard and unchecking the **Start sending e-mail reminders to [email][
   x] days before the buffer runs out**. Buffer alerts are set per-collection, so
   if you’re running more than one comic you may need to disable them for each collection.
