HP&HG Wonders by Trip-Katt has formatting issues on mobile
BronxWench replied to hiddenfayth's topic in Glitched stories
Looking at the story, the author uses text line breaks: those dashes he places between his author’s notes and the story content. Those tend to cause page draw errors, and result in text running off the page. What we recommend our authors do is use the horizontal line function in the Rich Text Editor rather than manually typing in those multiple character line breaks. Using the horizontal line feature prevents this error. This is not something I can go in and fix for the author, unfortunately, and the issue isn’t happening on PC for me, so he probably isn’t aware of it. -
Authors do that from time to time. They pull their work, and there isn’t any reason we can find. I’m sorry!

I’m going to assume the Imgur links use .jpg/.jpeg format. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that perhaps the “http://” at the beginning of the avatar field needs to be cleared before you paste in the Imgur link. Other than that, it should work if the image is 250x250 pixels.

The_Bondage_Sage has no posted stories here, and I’m not seeing any staff action regarding the author, either.

The_Bondage_Sage The member has no posted stories, however.

I’m not seeing any staff action for a story by that title, and there’s nothing with that title in the archive.

Glad you’re able to access your account again!

Ah, February, when the weather pattern resembles a roller-coaster, and my brain wants to hibernate...

More like the middle I guess, on the east coast, about 2 hours north of Sydney.

So, more or less along the Tropic of Capricorn?

South of there. The Tropic of Capricorn passes through the state of Queensland and I’m in NSW (New South Wales).

Which browser do you use to access AFF?

If your password is more than 12 characters, it’s too long. 8-12 letters and/or numbers is the range that works. Also keep in mind we don’t allow anything but letters and numbers. No special characters, periods, dashes, et cetera are allowed. And the password is case sensitive as well, so if you forgot and left your caps lock on when you created the password, it’ll always need to be all caps.

We have a FAQ explaining how to fix the black diamond issue: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/64151-how-to-fix-the-black-diamond-issue/

The email of record we have for you is not an aol.com email. We have a gmail.com email in the database, and that’s what is causing the error. You should be fine using the gmail address, but if you can no longer access it, please let us know.

Or you could read it right here on AFF: Dawning Affliction by Shigure-san

I’m glad it worked, and please, if your reporter does come and leave any flames, let us know. I’ll keep an eye out for any reports.

You shouldn’t need to revalidate at all, since you last accessed your account in 2016, and we haven’t changed anything enough to require a revalidation since 2012. Can you take a screenshot of the error message/page for me? That might help me to identify the issue a bit better. I might not be a coder, but I’ve been able to do a bit of troubleshooting despite that. If we do require admin intervention, I can write it up for DemonGoddess (who has been working double shifts nearly non-stop for the past ten months). One of the things that tends to cause issues is passwords. We do require a password of at least 8 letters and/or numbers, but not more than 12 letters and/or numbers, and it’s case sensitive to boot. No spaces or special characters are allowed. Also, you need to enter your entire email address to log in, and not just your pen name, which is a little different than some other archvies. As an archive moderator, I can tell you that no one has reported any of your stories to us. I am in and out of the staff email numerous times a day, seven days a week and I would be the one most likely to see the reports. If you’re having issues with a specific person, you can PM me, and give me the details, so I can monitor for this person as well.

Do you have a story for it, or are you in the process of writing one?

Grumpywinter plagiarized a story, which resulted in his being banned from AFF for life.

And it looks like the new hard drive is doing the trick, for which I am profoundly grateful!
Just in time for the first round of edits for the republications….

I’d probably not be writing if it weren’t for the computer. The ability to backspace, change, revise. I’ve done some hand stuff since then, usually when I’m too far away from the computer; it’s a bit better in quality, but I wouldn’t be able keep up with it.

I might still have a few of my very early, handwritten scribbles somewhere. Possibly.

The encouraging news is that our tech admin has been able to get here a bit more often recently. I don’t know exactly where you are in the queue, however. I’ll try again to get this expedited.

Okay, the new hard drive is being treated to a clean install of Windows 10, and then I get to reinstall EVERYTHING else so I can move my files over properly.

A fast and durable hard drive is never a bad thing. As for *nix, you will want to be VERY COMFORTABLE with the “normally hidden wires” of an operating system before using it. I have experience with SCO Unix, Intel Solaris, Linux, and post-Intel Apple OSX. If you have to try *nix, get an iMac. All the unix stuff is in there, but stays “hidden” unless you go looking for it.

@Wilde_Guess I read the "fast and durable hard drive" way too fast, started to think latex and naughty thoughts (this is AFF after all)

@Wilde_Guess I’m an old DOS user, so I’m very much at home with working in the command prompt arena. The daft one and I were tidying, and ran across our ancient notes on tweaking HIMEM on our--really—IBM PS1. We’re hopelessly geeky, and the daft one has at least one laptop that runs Linux (don’t ask me what flavor) and one that still runs DOS.
@Desiderius Price Very good! You get to move to the front of the spanking line.
