Initial sort is complete What I'm working on now, is moving stories within the subdomain, and creating subcategories where needed to do so. Will also be moving from anime, all Avatar stories, and most Transformer stories. Will be moving TO comics, all DC based stories Will be moving TO xmen, all Marvel based stories

Angel the Series All stories have been moved to the buffy subdomain buffy subdomain date/time stamp repair - complete chapter, review, story date repair - in progess Details of what is next- The first thing I'll be doing is looking at the stories, and determining whether or not I have to split the chapters. This will mostly apply to the very old stories in the archive, as the way things were added was different than they currently are. Where I have to access the user account to fix the rte issues, I will be making note of the date/time of the last update, and changing it BACK to that, after I fix what needs fixed. This will keep it so that it's fair to the other users are updating now, and adding now; as far as how the stories list. Duplicate stories- In the process of moving AtS stories from the tv subdomain, there is a fair bit of story duplication. PLEASE leave the duplicates alone. I will be transferring the reviews, the hits and the ratings to whichever story was updated last. This way, the users retain all their data, with just the one story. Finally, once the unlimited subcategories gets added in (it's still being worked on), there will be a further change in how the categories are. It will be as follows: Top level- Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel the Series Crossovers From there, all the other stuff can be moved down one level. For example, where we now have BtVS AU/AR, it'll end up like so: Buffy the Vampire Slayer>AU/AR>type (i.e general, het, etc)>specific pair

It appears I forgot to mention... it's complete

Hi there, Yes, they all state what we need for the site. Unhid your story too.

Your stories are HIDDEN. Please follow the instructions in the message left to you in your profile. Until you provide us with a valid, WORKING, email address, they will remain hidden. Should you not provide us one in the time frame asked for, your account and all associated data will be deleted.

6 pm, the salvage operations will commence!!!

I show 41 records where you started the conversation by sending the message, and 16 records where you were contacted by someone via the board. Let me know if you also show 57 total stored messages

As users cannot self delete here, she either was underage at the time, or requested a deletion from staff. As I'm finding no record, it's hard to say which it was, and would've happened at some point before the current mod staff was taking care of the archive.

Nope, this is the right place Rae. Could you do me a favor and screen the error? Then I'm going to have a look in the db and see what it shows me as far as what's there for you, and give you a message count that's in the actual db.

Of course there is. You go in to your user cp, select "edit story" and remove the codes which don't fit. The codes are added to the end of the summary, so that's where you make your edit, is the summary field.

ty MuggleAngel, I've deleted the flame post

So you caught the "difficult words no one has ever heard of bug"? LOL

Edited Half-Life: Portal, so it is now Portal and in the relevant alphanumeric top level. Added Half-Life (Series) Busy as always JayDee...like this is something new....

Well said Cal! As to imagery, the stories I've found which featured older couples, when they were written well, the imagery was all about their interactions with each other.

Is this it?

Details are here. In essence, if you add an emoticon to your status update, at the END of the line, it screws up how the columns draw. So, if you're going to use emotes, use 'em in the middle of your sentence, beginning, but not the end.

LOL

Neris, Until you're admin validated, you won't be able to post links. We do tell people that it takes up to 24 hours for that to happen.

Story link neris found for ya

Whenever you copy data into RAM (memory), it gets copied to the clipboard. This link has detailed instructions on what each icon in the rich text editor is for, and will help.

You have to use the "paste from clipboard" window if you're copying from another site. Should still retain your formatting.

Nope, just means I missed the post. Category is added.

Are you writing it IN Spanish? If so, it goes to the Non English archive. Also, stories written in another language can also be posted elsewhere in the archive, in English. Those are the only exceptions to double/cross posting we have. If you're writing it primarily in English, with Spanish and Patois as part of the story but not the primary, it's no issue. Lists- Those would be those "stories" which are simply lists. Such as character lists, or things of that nature. Just what it sounds like. Non Chapters- These are often used as a way to "bump" the story up in the latest updates list in the archive. This is patently unfair to the majority of the authors who DO NOT do this. Often, what you see with a non chapter is an author note only in the chapter, saying something like "updating in a few days", and the sole purpose of such a thing is to bump the story up. Other things which constitute non chapters are a chapter of nothing but character lists. Put that at the end of the chapter, or the beginning, wherever it's most helpful in your story, but not as a chapter on its own. Again, just like it sounds. Placeholder chapters are chapters where the author adds a chapter, has nonsense in it, because they plan on going back and adding content when they have time (whether that's the next day, a month from now, or whatever). Again, the sole purpose here is to bump the story up in the latest updated list. Author notes as stories. Absolutely not allowed. We delete those as we see them. Searches, challenges and requests in the archive, not allowed, deleted as we find them. You're probably wondering why, and it's quite simple. The archive database is now 7.9GB. To take some of the strain off of that database, searches, challenges, requests, story discussion (instead of in the review board), overly long author responses within the stories, have all been shifted to the forum. After all, if the database crashes, we have no archive. So, when I (and yes, it's me that sets this up for db health) say that this is what needs to be done, this would be why. This is also why it's enforced. And please, I realize this part may seem very nitpicky, but it's a pet peeve of mine. The forum is clearly titled, each section, so that one knows where to post. This is technically a support issue, not a suggestion. Moving to the support forum.
