@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.

Did you force refresh? Ctrl+F5

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

I can't get past the age verification in the archive. Clicking “Yes, I Am 18+” does nothing (although clicking the other button takes me to Google). Clearing my cache and cookies (for all time) didn’t fix it. I’m using Chrome.

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 reposted mine on that other website a while ago. Interesting to see which ones have the highest hit counts.

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

It works now! Thank you! ❤️

I activated you, you no longer show as pending. Try again

I’m showing you as needing to reactivate. I don’t know if this is a function of the update or not, but if you haven’t cleared your cache and cookies for all time, that might also be an issue. (This is the step I frequently forget, and DG is kind enough not to laugh at me for it.)

Admittedly it would be fun to repost stuff like After Party, Meaningful Gifts and Moonlit Snow after a certain amount of time has passed. 😄 Might be posted sometime in Spring (doesn’t exactly feel like a Spring story, but maybe that wouldn’t matter), assuming I don’t hold onto it until next Halloween.

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?

I completely agree! I write a lot of original work, and I love knowing it will be out there proudly.

For completeness to answer why. Imagine chasing a climax that never comes. A hunger that is never filled and a brief respite of insensation that never lasts long. In the hellspore you get the dubious honor of being aware of predation and of being prey. You get to be aware of being slain, of being devoured and being witness to your own murder. You get to feel everything. Before you respawn.

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)

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!

Normally, yep, though I’ve whitelisted AFF.

I quite like that Originals has its own menu separate from the fanfiction.

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