*sighs* if a user was logged in the review board logs their uid and links their review to their account showing their proper pen name, if they were not logged in the uid is default 0 and will display as ANON, people who are not logged in can sign their reviews but many simply never think to do so.

FairySlayer the layout is not completely final, for now we have put site functions and new code being compatible with future versions of php and mysql as well as eliminating any remaining old code bits floating around. The last core functions before we can run a full cleaning on the archives file system is the new search engine and the review system. Once the file system cleanup is done, tweaking the layout can commence. feel free to pm me any suggestions you may have.

ok, fixed. did tweaks to story listing while I was at it.

chapter delete fixed, have not been able to duplicate wall oh text. DG may be able to.

it is currently disabled till it is rewritten so that it can not be abused.

From basic proding it seems that any fiction site running fiction press as it's core is vulnerable which includes fanfiction.net, Custom coded archives do not seem to have been touched by this since their code base is not public. Still good to know about it though I am not worried about that happening to this archive since security is a big part of how the new code operates, has been for years now.

The planned reworking of tags will not bog down searching but can also be used while browsing categories to filter out stories with content that may make the user uneasy. For other users it can also be used to help find content they are looking for. Of course this feature change to tags is on the giant to do list for upgrading the site to work with future server upgrades.

"Currently Reading" and/or "Recommended Reading" should not experience any issues since they are already part of the newer site code.

*reads* full text search of chapters is not going to happen, but in the recode there will be full text search of story summaries which is the closest you will get, since trying to full text search chapter data will crash the whole database, even with sphinx, the load is just too big.

As vast as php may be the '+' sign even when escaped for storing in a database dose not guarantee it will not mess with output and the user table joins with other tables for information output and an e-mail address with a plus sign stored in the database when outputted can break code, be it php or in java. besides the only time the archive will e-mail you is to activate your account or to reset your password, other then that the bulk of e-mail from AFF is from the forums.

the yellow figure I think was suppose to be a guy

The edit chapter is now with the new editor, though fair warning some older chapters that did not use HTML formatting will show up unformatted in the new editor but display fine in regular archive for reading. Since the new editor is fully integrated and manual entering of HTML code is turned off, there are expanded formatting functions available for all members. I hope everyone enjoys this update for the archives, it's in our hope it will make peoples lives easier. Just a note to anyone who might be upset that uploading is turned off, just copy and past into the editor, really it's not that hard and it's cleaner, especially from word documents.

a glomp is an excessive overly emphasized hug that is a display of admiration and/or gratitude.

When you say potato are we talking about red potatos, white potatos, or russets?

-subcategory help -how add chapter works -how to format your text. only three missing for now.

On a lark I did the litmus test, keeping the univers she was in in mind and the results were pretty much as expected, not overly sueish. I think to do the test properly you have to keep the universe in mind on wether or ot the question applies. just my two cents

*looks up at topic title* Annoyed huh? Considering the current archive is written in php 2, the database is barely up to mysql 4 standard, and then just how mangled the code is from times of instability and past crashes, not to mention that the longest part of DG'S daily tasks is corrupted data correction (no amount of querying gonna fix it) you may wish to stop pushing her buttons, it is rather childish and rude, besides if it was a matter of a couple of arrays and a few quick fixes, it would be already done by now but many people forget about how it will affect cpu load on the server. Also I skimmed though your disclaimers list and all of them are missing at least one proper disclaimer element, if you are not mature to realise that the site's policy is in place for a reason, both your protection and our own, then I'd have to say even if you are old enough you are certainly not mature enough to be on this site as reader or author.

Content warnings I think is a far as one needs to go, though I will admit a few extra of those wouldn't hurt but what sort of fiction people write is up to them as long as it isn't plagerised or about a real underage child or just an out right troll. People who stand up on thier soapboxs and complain about fiction not being moral need to seriously have thier soap box taken out from under then and thow it at them till they go away.

AFF was created as a protest against censorship, 2 cases trying to ban adult fictional works up here where I live both failed because they greatly infringed upon freedom of speech, this person I doubt has a leg to stand on.
