BronxWench

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.)

If you can’t get it by FTP, is it even worth getting?

God we all missed you here, JayDee.  It really must be said. 😄

I imagine there are people who would be into chanting and incantations. Not to mention demons and dragons for some fun. I believe there are a couple stories on here which write about that.

Oh, it’ll be that newfangled alt.sex.stories over on that usenet I expect. I’ll get my 56k modem out and soon be speeding down the information superhighway! 
JayDee,
never managed to summon a dragon, but did attract a drake with a dropped sandwich by the river. 

I had assumed that speaking the incantation would summon dragons & demons… it’ll remain unspoken & unwritten here.

Incognito mode is a browser setting. You would need to go into your setting on Chrome itself, and make sure you are not browsing in incognito mode. I would also recommend allowing third party cookies for the moment until you have logged in. You can turn them off again after you’ve accepted the AFF cookies at login. 
It’s also possible that any ad blockers you might be using could be causing an issue. You might consider whitelisting AFF on your ad blockers, or turning them off until you’ve logged in for the first time.

Thanks, JayDee! I look forward to reading your review once I have access to the archive again.

I’ve been out of fanfic so long I don’t even know what the other website is anymore  It were livejournal, long ago… 

DO NOT use the Incognito option while accepting the cookies and getting the new software going for you.  Once you have done that, you can go back to it.

@InBrightestDay No apologies needed for not mentioning the others, silly.  

I understand.  I knew Manta was involved heavily in site-related matters, and you’ve always been around as well, whether you were formally working here or just struggling to survive your job (I’ve been there).  My apologies for not also mentioning Bronx and @Melrick
Thank you. I don’t know everyone here, and I don’t always talk, but this is also how I feel about this site.  thank you for all that you’ve done for the site, and as with all the others, even if I don’t really say too much, please know how grateful I am for all of it. ❤️

I think all of us on staff feel the same way about the site. It’s a home online for us all, and we all want to make this site a haven for our members. We all have each other’s backs, and honestly, I can’t imagine not being a part of AFF.
And that goes for all our members, too. I’ve gotten to know some of you, and I thoroughly enjoy feeling like I can make friends here like all of you.

Manta is our coder and when she makes a suggestion about site code, I listen to her.  
While I was working abominable hours, BronxWench and all the other moderators picked up the slack for me.  For years, all I did was work and sleep.  
I certainly appreciate the acknowledgement, but, there are others more deserving of it, such as manta2g, BronxWench, Melrick, etc.  I’ve only just recently (the past few months) become more active like I should be.  It’s taken over a year to recover from the years of overwork.

I actually wanted to say a bit more here, not just to apologize for speaking up here before seeing if clearing the browsing history would help (I knew it fixed an issue with the age verification button, but arbitrarily assumed this problem was completely different), but also to say something I think goes unsaid a lot.
I know @DemonGoddess and folks like @manta2g do a lot of work behind the scenes and may be stretched very thing, since donations can be scarce.  I just wanted to say that I appreciate everything you all do, especially when something happens with the site and I’m suddenly anxious about what to do, as happened just now.  I’ve never really interacted directly with either of you, but since I know that sysadmin can be a stressful job and can feel very unappreciated, I just wanted you to know that I don’t take you for granted, and that what you do for the site and for the people here means a lot to me.

I also did this just now, so that might have played a part.  Sorry for being a bit behind everyone else. 😅

Hi, everyone!
So while I can sign in here on the forums, I’m experiencing a problem with signing in on the main site.  I hadn’t logged in for a bit, and the site updated, and today when I typed my email and password in, a box popped up that reads “Please activate your account first.  Check your email for the activation link.”
The problem being...there is nothing in my inbox.  I checked spam, and there’s nothing there either.  Has anyone else experienced this problem since the update?

Tried it again, now it seems to work on firefox.  (Noscript & UBlock origin are normally active, simply to try to keep rogue javascript from taking over… or FB snooping)

Normally, yep, though I’ve whitelisted AFF.

Are you using something to disable and/or block popups in Firefox?

I went and re-cleared all the cache and the rest of it again and that seems to have done it – originals showing now
Thank you again! 

Try doing a forced reload CTRL+F5, sometimes it takes a bit of force for changes to show up.

You shouldn’t have to apologize for anything! You’re doing great work, nobody was sitting here expecting it all to be 100% through straight away I am sure  Thanks for all the effort and work!

When logged out The bar just shows “Home” “Fanfiction” and “Forum” options without originals option – When logged in it also has eg Account drop downs you don’t get logged out. I wonder if it’s something to do with the way Firefox is loading the bar when logged out? I just logged out, originals disappeared, logged back in, there it was!
