I figured it had to be a money issue... :-( Things are tight everywhere...especially with great places like this one. So basically we need to win the powerball lotto and donate oodles of money so we can pay for all the upgrades. I volunteer to win it and donate...lol...would've made a great Christmas gift! If wishes were horses and all that. ;-) It's great that you all are able to do the upgrades at all. I really like this place and have been referred to it many times from authors on FFN. Thanks again for your time and the information!

Thank you for the info and link! ;-) So it looks like it's being worked on but may not work with the current software. Hopefully that will work out in the future. I don't know much about websites but it seems like it could be easier to start over with new software that does everything everyone wants(if it's not too expensive) and have the authors copy and paste their stories to the new software...then when everything gets transferred start using the new software. Probably would be time consuming...but the forums could stay the same (as I think they are separate) and with the authors pasting their own stories I'm not sure what else would have to be transferred over by the site owners/volunteers. I'd volunteer to help. I'm new here but I have 2 other websites that I moderate so I have people that can vouch for me. ;-) Not sure how hard it is to transfer things over. At the one website I moderate 2 people got a new version of it up and running and transferred a lot of text over and it took them months. With the authors doing their own work (unless they are MIA which happens and then volunteers could help) and lots of volunteers(I'm assuming their would be lot's of volunteers..lol) it shouldn't take too long. And, everyone would still have this main site to use until it was up and running. Erm....but like I said...I don't really know that much about software and websites so it might cost too much for the software and there might be other issues I don't know about. ;-) Just rambling my thoughts and ideas...lol. How do the author's do email updates? Do they put you on an email list and email the group of people when a new chapter is up? Thanks again everyone for all the info. and feedback! Y'all are fantastic!

Thanks so much for the reply! Wow...no way to favorite or add to email alerts for stories? o.O That makes it really hard to read anything here that isn't finished. *sighs* I wonder if TPTB here at AFF would consider adding those features. Thanks again for your time and answer. ;-) BTW...I love your quote: "Never work with children or animals, or animal-like children. ( Jason Isaacs)" I adore Jason Isaacs...seems like a real sweetie and he has such a way with characters. When he's playing a bad guy he is just so good that (Lucius, Hook, Col. Tavington) I never know whether I want to smack him with my hand or my lips... *grins*
