shinigami69 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Can someone please tell me how to I can get notifications when someone updates their story? Maybe an email notification? I guess it'd be like an alert over on FF.net... I was sort of hoping I wouldn't have to stick around and check up on the stories I wanted to read all the time but rather, get a notice that says they've updated. Is there something like that here?

DemonGoddess Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 The archive does not support email updates of stories at this point in time. The software itself doesn't have the capacity to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinigami69 Is your name from "Death Note" Actually the Shinigami are my favorite Characters on the show, both Light and the weird detective.... rub me the wrong way... I think the weird detective is more than he appears... he may be rightious, but he still very weird! Just click on the stories you like, On Your Favorites Center on your computer and the AFF story pages will come up, at least it does on mine... then you can quickly check to see if the authors updated.

DemonGoddess Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 *sighs* dunno if we're planning on doing that, but it'd be a long time before it would happen, if so. We have loads more work that MUST be done before adding something like that as a feature. Aside from that, there is the question of protecting the member db at large from spam harvesters, among other things. Which is why email addresses themselves are hidden currently. Plus, we have no way in that piece of software to allow for secure mail, like you can do here in forum. By that I mean that if a user wants send another mail, the forum automatically masks your sending mail information and shows it as coming from the forum. So, as you can see, there is much to just mail funtions in programs like this in general that has to be looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal LOL I got the inspiration for my name partly from "Death Note" and partly from "Gundam Wing"'s Duo. Gawd, yes, Light and L are TOO WEIRD. But I adore the show, anyways. I can't believe Light is the main character but... well I can't seem to stop watching it! 'On Your Favorites Center'? I'm not sure if I have that... but I think if I just favorite the authors I like from the website then I can just check them every now and then. Rather annoying since I've gotten used to the system over on FF.net... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm glad about the email addresses being protected; it's nice to know. Well, thanks for answering my question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
