unbekannte- As you can see, the search function has to be rewritten to accommodate the more advanced engine. The kinds of features you're talking about, would have to be written individually for each subdomain, as each subdomain has its own set of tables. The ONLY part of the search function that works across all the subdomains is the author search, as that is a centralized table for the entire archive. I think you can tell the more features I'm asked to add, the more complicated this task becomes. Let me get it working better in a general sense first, and then I can see about adding other features subdomain by subdomain.

Archive profile You know, all we asked of this person, was that she return AFTER she was 18 years old. That's not much to ask, right? The user has a whole FIVE MONTHS to wait until she can start posting here. 5 months and 3 days, to be precise. But now, because this person opted to not only ignore the emailed responses she got, but to come back and brag about it? This person is never, EVER allowed back.

Hi there, When you post as a guest and I have no way to verify you are the person you're wanting to delete, I do need you to email me. This is for security purposes, and to ensure that the person who is requesting the deletion actually owns the account in question.

Okay, confuzzled a bit here. Why would someone get upset at you writing (by implication) about a pair growing old together? Is that not a happy ending?

FYI, I've actually timed the "downtime", which is an evil necessity. It's the daily back up routines you know. It starts at 4:15am EST (it's a cron, so I know the exact start time) and ends between 4:30 am and sometimes 4:40. That depends entirely on how much the database itself has been active, as far as how long it actually takes. It AVERAGES 15 minutes. On weekends, it takes on average 25 minutes. Weekends are busier, so there is more data to backup.

Be as truthful with him about your reasons for not wanting him to go, as you have been here. Particularly in light of the past seduction effort. Make sure you mention that too. Make a POINT of telling him that the lack of trust lies with the ex gf and her past actions, including RECENT past actions.

Generally, when an author pulls a story like that, but leaves everything else, they're reworking it for later republication. Without asking her directly, though I can't say that that is what happened, but observation over the years says that's the most likely thing which happened to that story by Wheezambu you're asking about.

If you're talking about uploading to the archive, if the file is bigger than 50k, it will not upload. If it is in any other format than .jpg or .gif, it will not upload. It's also possible you uploaded it, and simply can't FIND it. Some reasons for that, and the BIGGEST one, would be that when I go through and routinely delete the uploads where the file name exceeds the 15 character limit. I don't look at the avatars, I simply delete them by character count. Those very, VERY long file names make it difficult to find anything, so are always deleted.

I was actually waiting for this. So, I will simply re-ban the ONE IP I unblocked. That will hopefully kill this.

When I merged the two accounts, there was no story data attached to the older account for me to transfer over to the new one. If there had been, I would have moved it over.

What kills me, is the ONE complaint. ONE COMPLAINT. Got a song banned.

There are, at present, 67 stories in the category mentioned.

Okay, when I go through this topic, please understand I'm working in a specific sequence. THOSE will take priority. So, anything that is out of sequence for clean up order, is not going to be done immediately. I'll get to it when I get to it.

Chapter4 As the chapter repair itself is going to take me quite awhile, and I have loads of other things I'm doing, don't expect to see this fixed any time soon, unfortunately. I'm not even IN this subdomain to repair data yet. Having said that, I'll move this to the right forum, and then when I have time, after I get other stuff fixed that's ahead of it, I'll fix it.

If you search by author name, you can get results from anywhere for that author. But, if you're searching by title, you MUST be in the subdomain the story is in, or you won't get any results. An Interwoven Web of Deceit

I suggest you read TOS and guidelines. This section So yes, I deleted the other story, as when looking at them, it was clear that it was set in the Law & Order 'verse and location. You are only allowed ONE copy of any given story on the site. Unless the story is a translation of or two another language than English, in which case then there can be more than one copy of it. If a category is large enough to have a crossover sub or sub sub category, that is where your story is placed. If not, it gets placed in the title category.
