Aha.  I’d looked at the profile expecting that’s where it would be, but just really looked at the edit buttons, not at the green bar above it.

I hope so too! It looks like either a space of a line return went missing somewhere. I’m 99% code-stupid, but I’ve done some very minor programming review for fire alarm panels (don’t ask!) and a dropped space or line return could screw the entire program, necessitating a line-by-line review.

The “MIME-Version 1.0” portion shouldn’t appear. The emails should come from just “noreply@adult-fanfiction.org” so perhaps that’s something in the code that needs tweaking?

Some email clients, like Microsoft and Yahoo, have filters in place that can erroneously mark incoming mail as spam. When we sent out the emails to our members about the recent reactivation, Yahoo delayed or simply rejected an enormous number of our emails. There were also issues with the Microsoft email clients, particularly Outlook and Hotmail. So not receiving review emails, when that feature is up and running properly again, might require tweaking your email settings.

It’s so refreshing to meet people who remember dial-up, and the joys of being able to say you had a 2400 baud modem when your friends only had 1200 baud.  
Once we finish debugging the last bits of the updated code, members will be able to add tags manually, in addition to the tags available in the dropdown. We pared our tag list down in an effort to make it manageable, but I don’t recall boob sex or cleavage sex being a tag even before the culling of the tags. We would have no problem with your adding the tag manually, at the top of the chapter if you like, or I can add it into the tag field for you.
As far as the age-related tags, we want there to be no ambiguity about the content because it can be extremely triggering for readers. If someone sees mf as a tag, given that the newsgroups aren’t the main source of written smut, it is highly likely the reader will not understand it denotes adolescents under the age of 18 because it is written in lower case, and bg won’t be interpreted as “boy/girl” as intended by the newsgroup usage. Most readers don’t keep the tag list open, so we want to make it as clear and transparent as possible. The word “Minor” is unambiguous enough to make a reader stop dead if they don’t want to read that sort of content. 

The problem I’ve noticed, is even when a user white lists our mail server, we STILL get marked as spam.  Not always, but often enough for it to be an ongoing issue.

I can’t edit that particular option on archive profiles, unfortunately. Maybe @manta2g or @DemonGoddess would be able to turn that on for you—it might be one of the bits of profile data that is currently not working properly.

One of the few hiccups I'm working on... partly due to some email providers treating it as spam.

I’ll redirect your attention to the fact you got a review! 

Okay, cool. I guess I will do that then.

Thank you very much. Glad it wasn’t a big deal.

Yes, that’s the one!
 

It’s done.

The VPN kick is intentional,  the hackers we were dealing with kept using VPNs to bypass the site security and wreck havoc on the archives. 

Review replies go in the Fan Fiction section of the forum, in one of the four threads right after “Searching for a Fic”. 
I use a general thread for my original fiction, and another general thread for my fan fiction. (That’s why I identify the story by name, and then the reviewer name before I quote the review itself.) Both of those live in the All Other Subdomains section, under their own subcategories of Original Writing and Games.
So, for your Buffy fiction, you’d post the review reply thread in the Non Anime/Single Fandom Subdomains section, in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer subcategory.

My personal preference is to copy and paste the body of the review, and lead off with the title of the story being reviewed, and the name left by the reviewer so they know I’m acknowledging their review. The I paste the review text and frame it as a quote, and then I reply.
I’m not a forum mod, so take this with a grain of salt, but I don’t think it’s an issue if you want to use a screenshot of the review instead of copying and pasting like I do.

There are still a few functions that remain disabled, and this appears to be one of them. It will be addressed, I promise!

Keurig whimpers in terror.  Little did it know that Halloween only marked the beginning of the spooky season, it was going to be enslaved for another grueling thirty days, without a prayer of overtime pay.

So, who’s tackling NaNo this year? *raises hand sheepishly* 
It’s been a few years since I dove in and drove myself to the point of insanity trying to cobble together 50,000 semi-coherent words, but I’m hoping it’s the kick in the pants I need to get back to writing regularly. Wish me luck, and don’t get between me and my Keurig for the next 30 days.  

I’m going to do it sort of half-assed and try to finish—or at least make serious progress on—the novel I started with NaNo 6 years ago. I’ve finally finished the one I started after that (in 2020), so it’s time to get back to this one.

Having done 156.6k in September, and 138k last month, going to set my NaNo goal to 150k… maybe it’ll happen, maybe not.  It does move the story along nicely.

I forgot the TOS email, didn’t I? See, diz is why I’m not allowed to operate the heavy machinery….      Hope you guys get this sorted. Not that I was much help
