The forum has never been down. As to the verify age thing, if you don’t have a login, there are still some things you need to do to get past that. It’s a one time thing with the software having been upgraded. First thing, before you proceed. DO NOT use anonymous browsing for this part. You can go back to it afterwards. Be sure to do this from the main page: https://www.adult-fanfiction.org No matter WHICH browser, you must clear cache and cookies for ALL TIME. If you are using Apple products, you must clear cache in all your devices as the products link together. After doing the clear, close and restart your browser. Finally, you need to force refresh. (Press Ctrl+F5) That should fix the issues. You should be able to proceed once you do that. If you’re getting an error about activation, go to the register link and select the drop down option of “resend activation”. Remember, major software changes generally do require this sort of action. If, after all this, you’re still experiencing issues with the age verification, in Chrome/Edge, press F12 to access the console. You’ll see the exact error being generated. Let us know what it is. If you are experiencing bugs, please post them to the bug tracker. What we will need from you are specific steps you took to get the error, and screen shots if you are able. This will help in getting everything fixed, if there are bugs.

Are you using Windows or Mac?

Are you checking your hotmail? I show the account registered with a hotmail address. In any case, I activated for you, so you should be able to login now, provided you’ve done all the cache clearing and what not.

This post steps you through the entire process. The front page is https://www.adult-fanfiction.org https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/ is the root page for the forum

Please read the directions 2 replies above you. That will sort out your issues.

In helping people sort this out, something I found was that users with iPhones and such, had to clear browser cache in ALL their devices, as they are linked. Asked the user what he did differently to be successful, and it was that.

My fault. When creating that menu, I added an extra space. It’s fixed now.

The incognito/anonymous thing is a ONE TIME thing to set the new cookie. It’s all right there in the site news. As to an activation email, if that was sent before the upgrade, it is no longer valid. However, I can (and did) activate it for you. So now all you have to do is let the cookie be set. Then you can go back to your anonymous browsing.

Awwww. 😍

Are you doing this at the root? https://www.adult-fanfiction.org Don’t do it from a subdomain.

No problem!

I activated your account manually, so you should be able to proceed.

As @BronxWench said, there is a difference between clearing cache and clearing history. You want to clear the cached images and files.

I activated the account. Now try it.

You have to disable the incognito/anonymous functions for this part. There’s a cookie the site sets that these functions interfere with. Once the cookie is set, you can go BACK to that browsing.

DO NOT use the Incognito option while accepting the cookies and getting the new software going for you. Once you have done that, you can go back to it.

Don’t use the incognito window for this part. Once you get it all set and get past this, then you can go back to that.

That’s odd. I cannot replicate this issue. I will ask manta to look at it as well.

Read the last two news posts. That will explain to you how to get around that.

@InBrightestDay No apologies needed for not mentioning the others, silly.

Manta is our coder and when she makes a suggestion about site code, I listen to her. While I was working abominable hours, BronxWench and all the other moderators picked up the slack for me. For years, all I did was work and sleep. I certainly appreciate the acknowledgement, but, there are others more deserving of it, such as manta2g, BronxWench, Melrick, etc. I’ve only just recently (the past few months) become more active like I should be. It’s taken over a year to recover from the years of overwork.
