Fix to be applied to applied at a future time.

Had a user report to me that the disclaimer field was truncation when he added it.  This is not happening for everyone.  Manta has a fix she’ll do for this, but not right this second.
In the meantime, if a user encounters this, what you do is copy your disclaimer and paste it into the field as PLAIN TEXT.  

Thank you, it works now! I had the mistaken impression that I needed to clear cookies and cache while the homepage of AFF was open. I followed the instructions and did it all on the firefox homepage and now it works, and I was able to log in as author as well. Thanks very much for all the help!

I’m curious what you mean by general increase. Hundreds of new views? Thousands? How much is lots of new registrations?

If you can’t say, that’s fine but you’ve got me curious.

Numbers…. for several mine (I generally record in the mornings):
Dale’s Game – Jan 1st @ 3704.  20th @ 3711.  28th @ 3791 Repair Guy – Jan 1st @ 5087.  20th @ 5099.  28th @ 5238. Jefferey – Jan 1st @ 19218.  20th @ 19261.  28th @ 19514. Thus, many dozens/hundreds.  So if it’s genuine on the increase, that’s good.  If it was, for whatever reason, being under-counted before, and that’s fixed, that’s good.  My worry was it being bogus due to a glitch as I know how code can go.

I think I have old fashioned review reply links at the bottom of all mine anyway, so I’ll leave mine down the depths of the site where they belong! I can start updating it for any new stories though

This morning, I added Review Replies links to several of my stories, and tonight I noticed that making that one little change pushed those stories to the top of their respective categories. 

That could be part of it. The improvement in people’s ability to find what they’re looking for might have been to the benefit of a potential Google search. They like more organized content for people and for their options. But it’s definitely in part people just using the site. Also could just be people excited about the new version of the site, playing around with it.

There isn’t unfortunately, I can see general site wide traffic as well as new registrations.
As far as google is concerned, the age verify pretty much stops it in its tracks.
The improved archive search is much more reliable as people can search/filter by content tags on their own meaning more people actually find the content they are looking for.

Hmm, could just be that it’s being seen better by Google?

Is there a place to see how much traffic has increased for your story? I did notice that one of my story seems to have a large number of readers but I can’t remember what it used to be. It was a pretty popular story.

Totally sellable, comes with a lifetime supply of heating!

And this is why I don’t code, no matter how much AI is trying to convince me that it’s a good idea.  

Not sure who this mystery writer is, but something tells me they enjoyed getting the chance to write that story.  Call it a hunch. 😉

Have you followed the steps outlined in the most recent news article? You can read it here:  https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/77064-upgrade-complete/
Your old password should still work, and you should be able to log in if you follow the steps outlined. If you normally browse in incognito mode, you will need to turn that off just when logging in for the first time, so you can set the site cookies. After you log in successfully, you can resume browsing incognito with no problems.

Easy to do, and hopefully was an easy fix! Unlike that time I added an extra space to some code and, long story short, there’s a piece of land nobody can walk on for millions of years until the background radiation drops. 

Depends on the story. My very first two long form fics didn’t have happily ever after, but they were somewhat happy.

...eh, haven’t had a whole lot of ‘em. One of mine was so unhappy it inspired another writer to write both a oneshot really exploring the misery and a multiparter to give the plucky heroine a more upbeat fate. 
How’s about you. Favor the happily ever after? 

So… happy endings?

One time I got into a really fowl mood and wrote that Naruto turned into a chicken story.
I tried. They stopped me, shook their heads, said “Write what you know.” 

Dunno, I’ve have some good writing sprints while in a foul mood.

You all are making me miss my IBM PC XT, with its blazing fast 8088 CPU, 64k of RAM, and that spanky 10MB hard drive. And talk about operating systems? MS-DOS, baby! 
 
(I blew up 2 XTs and an AT before they gave me a PS 2, guaranteed not to faint under pressure.)

That won’t work well for your writing. Or maybe you could write about happy things?

Ah shucks, that kinda thing might chip away at my deep seated self loathing!
