One other bit of advice for you guys this person likes to target. Turn OFF anonymous reviews. By doing that, they HAVE to be logged in to leave you reviews. Which gives me a link to follow to be able to trace 'em. Which is why they don't normally do this logged in.

I'm going to do one other thing, which I normally would not do, which is use your review board and make a statement to these asshats. This is infuriating that they do this.

Oh, did have one thought, there is always the option of looking through the pair specific sub sub categories. Granted, we do not have the hp subdomain sorted yet, but a good many of the stories belonging to specific pairs are in their appropriate categories.

First of all, the current search function is definitely outdated. Not only that, it is not designed to search a database bigger than 200MB. As ours is 7.7GB, you can see the problem with the current engine. We recently paid to have a much stronger search API installed at the root in the server itself. As this is something which required shell access, it's not something I was able to do. Instead, the hosting company did. While Sphinx search is enabled for the forum, currently, it's not yet set up in the archive. The reason for that is that the search script itself has to be rewritten to allow for it to be used, and to make it so we don't go into query overload when it does. As the Sphinx engine allows for 2000 returns on a search, I do have to be careful in just HOW this is done, or the search function won't work AT ALL. I'm also redoing the search FORM, so that we can have more search options than what is currently there, such as the ratings field.

Absolutely! I'll get this squared away for you. You writers in this pairing, when this happens, please do let me know. I can fix it, not a problem. For whatever reason (mind you, the pair specific categories are there for a REASON. You don't like the pair, don't click the damn link), this particular sub sub category gets nailed on a fairly regular basis. As is always the case, this person (I should say people, there's a few of 'em) do this anonymously, so that I can't trace 'em back to a real profile. Cowardly twits.

Upgraded to 3.1.4, which fixed the bug referenced in earlier posts this topic. As always, if you find any glitches while using this software, please do report it in the tracker.

The pictures are linked to in the original topic post, at the beginning. Right click the link for it, so that you can open in a separate tab and look at it while voting.

An example in an older part of the archive, of where age is irrelevant, is the pairing of Giles/Ethan for BtVS. There are writing comms and some archives that are all about this particular pair.

We actually get everybody on this. The name of the fandom is more appropriate than specific characters, as it covers the world, the characters, and settings. A character disclaim ONLY disclaims characters. We need something more inclusive. Regardless of it being in a specific subdomain, with the many, many titles throughout the archive, it is imperative you use the fandom NAME.

This sort of posting is certainly not allowed. The stories in question I've deleted.

Added here

no, was just the way it was added. I can change it to series too, no big deal

LOL, quite alright. The first time I ever posted something I kind of LOOKED at it, and had a wtf moment, until I logged out and rechecked. --test edit see if the rte works..

First, when you add a story, there is an option you must say yes or no to. Which is "Allow other authors to add to story". You select no from that dropdown when adding the story, and it won't be there. If YOU are in the story, you will always see the "Add chapter to the story" link as you are the author. I spot checked your stories, and so far, the "add chapter to a story link" is not present for me, which tells me you selected no for the allow other authors to add part.

Hi there Morwen, You need to register for the forum as it's a separate program from the archive.

The avatar name was originally over 14 characters long, just for the file name. I very likely DELETED it. I routinely delete avatars which exceed the file name req at least every few days. I made some adjustments to the original image, reduced it slightly so it was less than 15K in size, and it is renamed choc_white_mage2.jpg. Already uploaded it, so have a look and see if you can find it.

Added as Mercenaries (all) as there are several game versions

I think it's a combination of factors, ranging from what SK mentioned, to what AB mentioned. Personally, having been in bad relationships before, I never actually was willing to try and "fix" the jackass. I'd just get on with my life WITHOUT the problem person, and was much happier for it.

Deleted the story, fixed the placement for the category

you're welcome!

It should appear in alpha/numeric order. But, the avatar gallery is disorganized, so if you don't find it, let me know and I'll get it straightened out for you.

you need to be sure it's a .jpg or .gif. So, save it as either and try again. Let me know what happens.

Avatars can be no more than 15k in size, and we prefer no bigger than 50x50 pixels in dimensions. If the file you're adding is bigger than 50k, it will not be added. Aside from that, as I routinely go through and delete files with filenames (not the extension of .jpg or whatever, but the name preceding the extension) that are over 14 characters in length. So, be sure that you name the file something that is 14 characters or less. File naming conventions do not allow for spaces with the avatar upload. If your file has spaces in the name, it won't upload.
