yep, no uploaded images are allowed anymore. You do have to link to the image at an image hosting site

Nope. We've never been FFN. We started because FFN doesn't allow the kind of content that we do. So, we will be who we are, and FFN will be who they are.

Congratulations!

Yep, the forum is a dropdown

AWESOME!!!

Yes, the ratings will require login. This will be to ensure that if someone maliciously downrates, I have a tool to track who did.

are you using any kind of text/line separator? In fact, if you leave the chapter up for now, I can have a look and see what's going on. Without it there, I can't see what's happening.

I'm not sure what manta has in mind for the future system, but I'm sure it'll work nicely!

The biggest issue with the ratings system we had before, is that it was used to harass people. Because it was truly anonymous and I had no way of tracking who was being malicious, all I could do was make adjustments.

Yep, what BronxWench said is exactly what happens. I merge the relevant data from the OLD story to the new story. Once I'm done with the merge, I delete the old one.

We have tons of 'em. All located here

you have to activate. I'll send you an email with instructions here in a minute

The users were not logged in. That means when the coding changed the way the data was pulled from the review table, the ones that had user names in the OLD review boards, would now say ANON, where reviews were left while not being logged in.

Before, when reviewing while not logged in, one was required to input a name and email address. The email address was visible, including ot search engines. The users disliked that about the unlogged in/anon reviews. We received many, many complaints over the years about that, so the new code makes unlogged in reviews anon by default, without any identifiers asked for. So, the new code simply allows an unlogged in user to leave a review. Yes, they should still identify themselves to you, but when adding the review when not logged in, it is OBVIOUS that there is nowhere to add who you are, unless you put it in the body of the review.

It could very well be that what happened is that someone asked me to make that category, and then opted to not add to it. That happens fairly often.

try it again please

If she uses yet another email address to login to do this again, please let us know. She'll get banned each time. There's no second chances for this, so she'll never be allowed back.

no biggie, there are enough changes that if you're used to one thing, and a new thing pops up, it'll bite ya. It did it to me too.
