Yes, we will add a search by tag option, but I can't give you an exact time frame for when that will be implemented.

It is most definitely on our coder's to-do list, yes. I just don't have a time frame for you.

Hey, George. They've been read only since 2012, when we began to roll out the archive updates. The profile bios were not editable, and it was no longer possible to add anything to the recommended reading section. We will get stats back on the profile page. It's just a lesser priority than making sure people can access, add, and edit the stories themselves. Patience, padawan...

Um... Kamal, anyone? You two are neck in neck for heartless, although Pip has elves and Jack. It's a slight edge over Bosnian assassins with amputated souls.

Oh, CL, beware the Torchwood fics... they're what got me hooked on Pip's writing.

Yes, we're very much aware of the issue. It's a very quick and simple fix that the authors can do themselves. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to write a script that will do it globally, without creating additional complications. But having had a few tags glitch in my own stories, I can say with all assurance that it takes under a minute to fix a story now.

Scary, isn't it? All my MCD stories grew an MC. The updated story manager makes it fast, though, since tags are now in their own little field.

The search function is not back yet. Our coder, manta2g, and DG are aware of the search issue. Be patient, and I'm sure it'll be back as quickly as possible.

Nerys, thank you for letting us know. Codes have been migrated to a separate field, but it's not yet searchable, as far as I can tell. I have a few artifacts left in my stories as well, but in the Latest Stories pages, the codes are in their separate field. We just need to create the search field now. I'm pretty sure the missing "Herm" in Hermione is because we have a code, "herm" for hermaphrodite. If the codes were moved via a global search, that would do it. I'm pretty sure it's safe to fix the Hermione issue, and remove any lingering partial tags from the summary field. When you edit the story details, check the new field for the story codes, and make sure you have the right tags. I suspect "bigotry" might have been moved as "bi".

Hey, G! The hit counts are still on the top of the story, and it'll be back in the profile listings as soon as manta2g gets the big stuff tweaked. I think review counts will return to the profile listings too, but don't quote me on that. Hang in there, because this will be VERY cool when manta and DG finish.

The review count data will be returning. The ratings will not, at least not in their former incarnation. However, the priority has been getting the actual database updated. Without that, there's nothing requiring a display of story stats. Be patient, and we'll get things tweaked, once we know the major functions are working as intended.

Are you searching by tag?

That first profile format was discontinued back in 2012. It exists as a read-only document at the moment, but will be going away altogether at some point.

It's disabled access to all stories. Our coder needs to do this in order to properly roll out the new code. Please be patient. I think the new features being implemented will be worth a couple of days of disruption.

I struggle with it as well, because all the guides, and blogs, and editors seem to adhere so firmly to rules that strip writing of its voice, I think. I understand wanting to make things flow, and wanting to keep readers engaged, but I'm learning when I need to put my foot down, and insist that my voice remain intact. Otherwise, I'm just a ghostwriter, and someone else can put their name on the cover.

The focus will be on getting the main site running properly. Once we've gotten the main site fully updated, and everything has been tweaked, at that point DG might be able to work on mobile skins. But that project will not happen right away, so hang in there...

There's been no staff action that I can find, sorry!

Your Elrond muse is entirely right about me. However, he does inspire such lovely things...

Or both. Both is good.

::waves to all the new people:: Welcome! We're always happy to have new people here, and there's lots of goodies to be found in the threads. Any questions, just ask!

And as each subdomain gets a going-over in the clean-up project, those will be addressed. Some time back, there was a crash, or so I understand. It was before my time here. There have been lingering issues since then, and our admins are well aware of them. However, being that our staff is entirely composed of volunteers, real life tends to come first, and we don't have a waiting list of people looking to volunteer to help us clean up the archive. Now, if there are specific stories you're having issues reading, you can send an email to tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org, and I'll make sure those are noted in the staff area for attention when we get to those subdomains.

You have NO idea how very happy you've made me!
