That's because the SUID in the db is actually for a different user. We will run across those from time to time as we progress through clean up. When we find them (in the subdomain we're working in), do like you did now so I can fix 'em. Where it's not related to merging (and the old ones usually are not), it has to do with when the db was initially restored years ago, and not doublechecking the data before adding it back.

@Lerianis - Review login should take you directly to the login page here http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/ . Looking at your profile, the issue for you is not cookies, it's that you have to activate your account. @sabaku - Here's something out of left field to try, if the clearing cookies thing continues to not work. I've had a couple people (so far) tell me this resolved the issue for them. Change your password. http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/reset.php. If you opt to try this as a fix, and it works, let me know please.

There is also an intermittent cookie issue as well. This doesn't happen to everyone, but, it does still happen. This will be resolved once the storyboarding part of the software is rewritten. In the mean time, the coder is looking at it to see if she can tweak it a bit to try and prevent this until then. Having said that, while we're waiting on that, the only option is to clear your cookies and try again, to fix it. Just be aware it may TAKE a time or three for this to fix it. To manually delete the site cookies, search your stored cookies and delete all *.adult-fanfiction.org. from your cookies list.

Interestingly enough, the word gray, where not used as a color, is this. Mind you, when looking up the word grey or gray (for the color), the first word that pops is the spelling with 'e'. It's just in THIS country that the 'a' is more accepted. For that matter, this wikipedia article explains it all nicely.

on the spelling for grey, you'll find horsepeople ALSO spell it grey, not gray.

are you inputting your password all lowercase? I'm looking at it, and as password entry is case sensitive, that's how you have it in the db

It was removed because the author was underage at time of posting. Not much I can do about that, as I'm REQUIRED to remove posts from underage users

All 'Inuyasha' characters and themes are the property of Rumiko Takahashi - change that to this 'Inuyasha' is the property of Rumiko Takahashi

I'll poke around in the arcade after work. I'm thinking one of the updates may have rearranged how categories are assigned/worked in it.

very, very true....

I think your overall lack of life experience is showing here. You do use a broad brush to paint a picture of what something is, without having really lived with the condition. As to hyperactive children, having 3 of them myself, I can tell you from EXPERIENCE that much of what happens these days is directly related to the prescriptions these children are given. I was fortunate in having a pediatrician who believed that drugs were always a last resort, not the first step in treatment for this. To teach a child how to deal with ADHD takes a lot of time and work on the part of both the parent and the child. For that matter, the children I saw who went to school with mine and were on the meds, acted out far more often. What's sickening is that it was accepted and allowed due to the "condition". Enabling these children to behave poorly, because the parents were relying on the drugs to control the behavior, rather than working with the children to learn how to master their own behavior.

@Ajwf Urrrhhhhmmmm... as Bronxie HAS an autistic child, I do believe she'd have more knowledge on the subject than you....

*sighs* Then you'll remember the crash of 2005, followed by the minor crashes in 2006, yes? As to why some of the anime categories have been top leveled (mind you, we haven't even gotten there for a COMPLETE sort yet), those all had 200 or more stories. In order to reduce queries on page load, things HAD to be shifted around, or the database server would've been continuously resetting to allow for the excessive queries. BEFORE top leveling those categories in the anime subdomain, it was a MINIMUM of 273 queries just to load the page. The top levels themselves are fairly self explanatory, and again for the same reason. By breaking the titles apart in alphanumeric groups, the query load was greatly reduced. Granted, 20 to 30 queries to load the initial page is still on the higher side, but it is far easier on the database itself than 273+ to load a page. Something else to remember about the categorization itself, is that until the function is written in later this year, I'm STILL limited as to levels of categories. Currently, the top level is non posting, followed by a sub level, and then a level beneath IT. So working within those restrictions, this is what it looks like for now. Once I have unlimited categories, I'll be able to, for example, move the top level title cats in to their alphanumeric categories, and retain the categories beneath them. I try and do that now, anything beyond that 3rd level of category will be inaccessible. EMPTY categories have been removed, and continue to be removed, if they stay that way over a period of time. There's no reason to leave a category that is not being used. If, months or years down the road, there is use for it again, I can make it easily enough for the user who asks. As to browsing, the archive itself is separated in to subdomains. Each subdomain is titled, and set in the top menu. To switch between subdomains, you select what you want from that menu. For example, if you want to go to tv from anime, you go in to the menu tab for archive (in the subdomains), scroll to tv and click. Of course, with old and new software living concurrently and being concurrently, the old menu is quite different from the new one. In the NEW menu, the selection would be the Archives tab, then original, main, anime and non english. You make your selection as to which from one of those four. So with old and new menu, yes it CAN be confusing. However, until the software is finished being retooled, the old menu has to stay in place with the new. As to the overall state of flux in the categories themselves at the moment, that's due to the clean up project in the archive itself.

It's a cookie issue. While the code is being updated, there is a cookie setter that lives in the story part of the software. While we'd love to eliminate it entirely, if we do that, it won't work. So removal of that particular thing is awaiting the writing of and deployment of new code for the story functions. So, for now, when you run across this, you need to clear your cache and cookies. It may take a few tries for that to take effect as well. Also, if using IE, you will need to restart your machine.

no error in the record itself. That's also where it stops in the database. It could be that the author didn't check if all the data was c/p'd from the open doc.

first several chapters of that story are actually short, not cut off. Just checked the data. Are you logging in here? If you are, and you're getting logged out, clear your cookies. We have an old cookie embedded in the old code, which is part of the storyboard software. It only affects the chapters. Now, since you have to be in a chapter to review, what's likely happening is that the old string corrupted the new one again. While I'd love to see it removed now, it can't be, until the story functions are rewritten.

It's available from her publisher, not as a free read anymore

I believe you're talking about Kiix's The Lord Vampire Saga, which is comprised of several stories. I remember that Cake was picked up for publishing a couple years ago, so when that happened, she pulled it.

all merged!

Looking at the birthday information you entered for the new account, it tells me the old account was created while you were underage. However, you fall in to the "Old Minor" category, simply from this information. What that means is that I'll adjust that account before merging, so that any pre 18 content you have on there will be deleted. Anything AFTER your stated 18th birthday can stay.
