As you can all see, the upgrade is complete. What I'm going to do now is update all the mods and whatnot. So, until they are, expect them to not work quite right, or at all.

We are back in the upgrade queue. If you prefer your profile picture to your avatar, you need to change your avatar. Profile pictures are the same as the avatars in this new version.

That's exactly why I suggested Open Office and Libre Office as alternatives. Works is end of life and not supported by Microsoft, hasn't been for some time. OO and LO are open source software, work very well, are FREE and import just about everything, as well as being able to be added to ANY RTE on any site, with no difficulties.

This is the one feature in the archive which is truly anonymous. I have no way of tracking who does what with it, other than to note when someone gets ratebombed. It does happen, unfortunately.

The author was underage at time of sign up and posting. Because of that, anything this author posted before 5/27/08 had to go, as he/she was not 18 before that date. The story you're referencing was deleted from this archive last part of June this year.

If you remember, for the LONGEST time, there was the issue of spambombers in the review boards. So, at that point it was always told to people to prevent that, you have to disallow anon reviews. When recaptcha was added to the archive, this became a non-issue, for the most part, because the spambombers HAVE to enter the text for each and every review left. As it changes with each review to be left, these spam scripts can't quite manage it, LOL. If I remember right, disallowing anon reviews is the default setting, so when you add the story, you have to check the box saying it will be allowed.

here ya go... space oddity (archive) and forum

Not really. However, some people feel they don't have to abide by anything like the TOS or guidelines, and etc. No big deal, and it will be handled.

An archive profile, is a profile in the main part of the site where the stories are. So what is your exact purpose for joining the forum? To post requests? To respond to things? That's what I'm after.

That would be because you have no archive profile. Without one, you have to contact us, following the instructions in the registration page, saying exactly WHY you want a forum membership without an archive profile.

Considering you're saying it was gone on the day you posted, chances are great you posted to the wrong subdomain. Those are deleted on sight.

from sainmoth14 (in the bleach archive) Without seeing the "hate speech" reviews, I'm loathe to say whether or not they're simply harsh concrit, or truly a flame. Often, what some consider a nasty gram is simply a blunt and rather harsh concrit. Let's face it, if a writer ASKS for concrit, they're not always going to get glowing reviews. That is, after all, the goal of constructive criticism, to point out where things can be improved. Aside from that, if you read in the post above, there is a new thing, the Reviewers' Association. I suggest you get in touch with one of those members to help give other writers a boost!

Prompt: kings Please remember the rules as posted here. Have fun!

The first two I'm fairly certain were written by Agni. She announced a couple years ago that she was pulling them all to rewrite.

ty!

for placement sake (since I move stuff from misc categories once sort is completed in a subdomain), which world is this taking place in? Jackie Chan Adventures, or Inspector Gadget?

Yes, that is against ToS. Specifically, because they're adding teaser/previews. It constitutes unauthorized advertising. Thanks for informing us.

When adding a story, the category list is a drop down menu as it is. IF we did such a thing, it'd be way down on the list of the must do to bring the archive up to date. At the moment, you can simply open the category up in a separate tab in your browser anyway, so it's really not necessary to add a pop up.

Just glad to hear you're doing okay!

As to avatars, if for the archive, bear in mind that if the file name exceeds 15 characters, it will be deleted. As to merging pictures in to one, which programs do you have to work with? Each program has different capabilities to do what you want to do, and depending on what you have, is what kind of stuff you can actually do.

The archive is where you publish your stories. As this post was originally in the naruto sections, this subdomain (if for naruto stories) is where you'd publish to. If publishing for other fandoms, either navigate to the correct subdomain (i.e. inu, anime2, books, etc), or use the jump menu in your user cp to navigate to it. Select the subdomain name, and click go, then add the work.

So, the techs advised me to wait an additional week, while 3.2.1 is being readied for release. With the mass release, a number of bugs were found, and 3.2.1 fixes them. When I given them the permissions, again, to perform the upgrade for me, I will post that here. At that point, we can expect the forum to be upgraded anytime from the day I give the permission, to up to two weeks later. They are horribly overloaded with upgrade reqs, so I understand the wait time.

Number is also subject to change depending upon age verification. If they are minors, they're not merged, they're deleted. This will also apply in other areas where it turns out the member in question isn't so much what they were being reported as (i.e. troll), but actually underage. _____ I'm going to revisit the topic of underage users. You'll all have noticed that the numbers have increased significantly. This is, in part, due to the clean up. One of the things we do look for, are old underagers. If, for some reason, you login and find that you're missing stories and they're not hidden, chances are we've found data indicating you were underage at the time of posting. Because the site is owned and hosted in the United States, we cannot allow anything to stay that was or is posted by a minor. This applies to active users who are now of age, but were underage at time of account creation, and adding data to the archive. It doesn't matter if the data has been sitting there for years. It still has to be deleted if it was posted when the user was underage. One other thing about the age restrictions for this site. I know we have many users from overseas where age restrictions are not the same. Again, regardless of where you, the user, are; we have to abide by the age restrictions in the US, which is WHY users must be 18 or older to use any part of this site.
