First thing, before you proceed.  DO NOT use anonymous browsing for this part.  You can go back to it afterwards.

Be sure to do this from the main page:  https://www.adult-fanfiction.org

1.   No matter WHICH browser, you must clear cache and cookies for ALL TIME.  If you are using Apple products, you must clear cache in all your devices as the products link together.
2.  After doing the clear, close and restart your browser.
3.  Finally, you need to force refresh.  (Press Ctrl+F5)

That should fix the issues.  You should be able to proceed once you do that.

If you’re getting an error about activation, go to the register link and select the drop down option of “resend activation”.

Remember, major software changes generally do require this sort of action.

If, after all this, you’re still experiencing issues with the age verification, in Chrome/Edge, press F12 to access the console.  You’ll see the exact error being generated.  Let us know what it is.

If you are experiencing bugs, please post them to the bug tracker.  What we will need from you are specific steps you took to get the error, and screen shots if you are able.  This will help in getting everything fixed, if there are bugs.

thanks for the instructions but as it turns out, I just wasn’t understanding the way the menu worked. you can click on the archive bit to go to the archive you don’t have to click on the author’s menu pop out. 

Welcome back! 

Welcome back, Daye! 

And it totally wasn’t my fault that I accidentally blocked you.  That was… Putin!  The utter bastard!

On the forum, it’s under your profile, in Account Settings.

For the archive, you need to use the password reset link: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/reset.php It will send an email to your registered email address. The new password can’t be less than 8 letters and/or numbers long, but no more than 12, and no punctuation or special characters are allowed.

i did manage it right after using keyboard instead of mouse  but it was weird. i don’t know if something was up with the site or with my tablet/keyboard device type thing

I have that happen from time to time when I’m switching between my account and the moderator account. I manage to click the email address, but the popup closes before I can log in. If I click login again and the email address is correct, it will stay open so i can log in. Otherwise, it’s try it again time.

I have no idea why it happens, but you’re not the only one.

By “complained” do you mean like “I’m sad this was abandoned,” or like “How dare you not finish this?”

Sounds like you need one last chapter to finish off:

“...as all this was going on Colin opened a forbidden book. The world began to unravel. Everyone died. The End.”

Or

everyone looked up and ceased to be for two words were stamped on the heavens and all was lost.

The end. 

Happy holidays!

Belated happy wishes to all!

Thanks man.

You have NO idea how much I’ve missed this game!

What can I say except you’re welcome?

Wow. That brings back memories of dial up. Haha. Thanks.

Don’t dismiss the voices, they have some really cool ideas! 

Welcome back anyway, even though the place feels a bit too grown up without the games. And shoutbox. And pet rocks.

Shout box! And the procrastination station! Good times.

the wayback machine may have it. i just can't get past the stored age check

Sometimes your stories end up being archived on weird sites for random reasons. I discovered one of mine on an Indian site because my story included a character named Ajay.

Change is inevitable. Change is inexorable. Change is insidious.

(I can keep this up a while longer.. )

Change is of the good! Especially when it means that the site moves further away from the inevitability of a crash, which is where we were.

Change is incredible!

What do you mean you only slept for half an hour Mr Van Winkle?

Hey, there, stranger!

Wait, they timed an LJ fest to coincide with NaNo? Those sadistic evil twisted.... I gotta see if they'll let me write a story about them.

It'll be a perfect NaNo entry...

it's actually a christmas themed fest. the writing period runs sept 24th to nov 24th

Although it seems I am somewhat out of practice.

...no, no. Ignore me. Dang it.

lol. i had no idea you could get rid of colours until you said that...

If you don't have a good idea, write a bad one!

D'aww. Thanks everyone. I actually haven't really stopped writing. its just everything goes up on livejournal and a03 and is mainly really short stuff. I remember the stuff for here being much longer and awesomererer.

Size doesn... no, I can't say it. It's too obvious.

Assholes. People like that make me sick. Well, alright, maybe not sick. Irritated, certainly.

I don't even know how to begin to search that site… I tried both author name and the title of my stories, but came up blank in the search function.

Whatever you do, remember BW's maxim: Download nothing. It's a data miner, from what magusfang saw, and will steal credit card information that it requests prior to letting you download those "free" books.

Think of it this way. You can move the eiffel tower if you were really keen. The milky way, not so much.

The Eiffel Tower is a Giant Metal Penis but the Milky Way is a Space Cream Pie.

Yeah, I can't tell if that's chess or a snowboarding trick! Still, I guess there's a lot of overlap in the two cultures.
