Chapter 48 is up, in which the young genasi discovers that you can never truly go home again.

As DG updates and converts each subdomain, that error should disappear. Naruto has not yet been done, so bear with us. Please also keep in mind that support for mobile versions will follow getting the main archive completed.

Ah, I see what you mean! We're planning on moving the story codes to a separate, searchable field at some point in the rewrite process, That will allow for a more targeted search, I think. I'm pretty sure that the 100-item limit on a search is a general limitation. I've had that on dozens of sites, like doctor/provider searches for my insurance.

Resistance is futile.

Our archive is already sorted into subdomains, and within the subdomains, it's broken into categories. Those categories, where warranted, have an additional level of subcategories, so I imagine you could view all stories within a subcategory as a more comprehensive sort of thing. For example, under Harry Potter, we have have four categories: General, AU/AR; Crossovers, and Canon paired with OC. Taking the main category, it is broken down by General, Round Robins, FemmeSlash, Het, Slash, and Threesomes/Moresomes. Under the FemmeSlash, Het, and Slash subcategories, the archive divides by pairings. That's a faster way to narrow down a search while still being able to see all stories allocated under that level of the archive. Of course, in the smaller fandoms, those without an extensive number of stories, you won't have those levels of subcategories, but you can find all the stories for a given fandom in the same manner. I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for, but if you can give me an example as well, I'll see if I can help a little more.

The author, someonenotme, has removed the story, The explanation is on the author profile.

My next silly question: Did you try to use the same password when you tried the reset? Edited: Whoops, never mind. And sometimes it just goes like that. We won't be read-only again until Sunday, so let's hope whatever was causing the error is gone.

You wouldn't be locked out, and I show you last logged in back in May 2015. So, here come the obvious questions. Did you use the email address associated with the account to log in? Did you remember to use capital letters in the password, if it was created with capital letters anywhere? Are you using the upper right hand fields and not the center fields?

Oh, no, I'm the eedjit! Yes, it's there on the left, above the subcategories... ::hurries off to make appointment with ophthalmologist::

Hi, Mary, The Search function is one of those things that was disabled when DG and manta were rewriting busily, and it's not back yet. I haven't seen an update on when that will return, but I'm sure it will be back!

Nexcess talks about this in their blog: https://blog.nexcess.net/2016/02/11/many-wordpress-sites-hacked-to-redirect-users-to-malware-sites/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ncDailySocial

I really, really need my "Like" button back!

Characters are treated separately from the person portraying them. A character is a fandom device, and the canon of that fandom applies. If a 21 year old is portraying a 16 year old, the fandom character is a minor, and the story gets a Minor2 tag. If the story is about the celebrity and only mentions the character as part of the story (ie, what the celebrity is doing workwise), then the celebrity age governs But Des makes a very important point. We don't allow any stories involving real people under the age of 18, so any celebrity has to be 18 years of age or older, or we will remove the story.

The cat pokes are the old hit counts. We haven't replaced the ratings system yet, and when we do, it'll no longer allow anonymous votes, to cut down on its being used for abuse. But cat pokes are good! We want lots and lots of cat pokes!

For anyone wondering why they can't log in, we are ALL logged out until the archive is taken off read-only status.

The archive is read-only tonight, to allow for some necessary upgrades. We're all logged out until around 10pm EST (GMT-5) tonight.

My display settings are a good bit higher, so yes, that would account for it. I'm not sure what to tell you, really. Do the stories do the same thing, or only the listing pages?

I was only able to duplicate this in Chrome by zooming to 150% in a window of approximately the same width (roughly 13.5 inches across). In a 100% zoom, I needed to decrease the window width to under 9 inches, but the tabs were too compressed to match the image provided. So, you might want to reduce your zoom in Chrome to prevent the overflow.

@Guest_Mika: This is more appropriate to the General Staff Questions, but the Original subdomain is divided into various categories, and within those categories, you will find subcategories for M/M fiction. So, clicking on DarkFic will bring you to a page with a new left menu, with subcategories for General, RoundRobins, FemmeSlash, Het, Slash, and Threesomes/Moresomes.

When I click that link, I'm taken to the Add Story page. Are you getting a blank screen?

Or perhaps if we underscore the title to help draw the eye to it? I can see what you mean, Oric, when I compare the old and new layouts. In the old layout, we had the title alone, and then the summary and tags. Then we had the author and the rest of the stats, and the location within the subdomain. I'm not sure if we can go back to that format. So, maybe if we find a way to set the title apart a bit, or highlight it even more with underscoring, since it it's already bolded, that would be a visual aid.

Some of the older stories may be still experiencing a few issues. DG did write a query to remove the extra lines, but what she's encountering is some very old nonsense from back when the database access was not as restricted. Some of it might also be related to how chapters were added (upload versus the copy/paste we recommend now) but DG is better versed in that since I joined AFF after that mess of a crash. It's causing no end of headaches, and I really do apologize.

Generally, when this happens, I've found that sometimes it just takes clearing out the old data in the browser history and cache. Go to the settings page of your browser, and clear your cache and browsing history. Then close the browser fully to make sure that the data is really cleared. Restart Chrome and try logging in again. The passwords are actually case sensitive now, so if you've used a capital letter anywhere when making the password, you'll always need to use that capital letter. Anyway, let's see if this helps.

Oh, if she's published it, I'd love to know if it's available as an ebook! I'd buy it without a second thought!
