emailed, deleted

all users mailed, all search fics deleted.

What I can do, quickly, is to adjust the rate and hit counts on the one story. I'll also save the review table records (there are only 2 in the one, so no biggie) for later insert into the other story.

ugh. I see what you mean . I gotta wonder about ages as well. Will gather that additional info and put it with the group who takes care of that to check that part out, and I will kill the stories, as well as mail the users in questions about the searching, and the other stuff.

It gets even better turns out that while earlier versions of Windows than Vista ignore it, there is a serious coding error (old one) that is making this happen. So, we're working on getting that straightened out.

done

next time he posts it, post that he did, which review board, and review id, leave it, and we will take care of this for you.

Got a couple options here. If you still have the data stored, you can upload it there, and delete from the other. But, if there are reviews and ratings attached, that won't work either. Yep, will get to it for ya.

easy fix. both chapters are already contained in the fics they should be in, so I just need to delete 'em from THIS story.

yeah, they're remnants of the corruptions that occurred because of the 2003 database crash. That crash created NUMEROUS weirdnesses throughout the archive..... fixed hey Raphaella, We could always use more helpers. We have .... 13? (or is it more) subdomains to go yet. And thousands upon thousands of stories to eyeball.

fixed the squishie

Okay, it's one thing providing linkage, which is what this forum is for. You do NOT copy other site content into your posts, such as their TOS, and other things. That belongs to that site, not us.

not all that surprising considering the initial date of the things, really. This is one of those that were html uploads, and the 2003 crash stripped much of the tags from those record inserts. Easy enough to fix, but the ones that are this old, I'm expecting to see this and the wordord thing with regularity for them. fixed.

After doing some more digging and testing, it actually appears to be OS related, more than anything. Apparently this particular menuing script is NOT Windows Vista compliant. I don't have these issues, and cannot duplicate them on my XP machine. ONLY on the Vista machine.

I've fixed part of it, but only part of it. The actual menu controls need adjusted to allow for certain character types at the top level category, which should then fix this entirely. In any case, if, for example, you select an area to upload in, and in the dropdown box for subcategories, there are no selections, right click, and select reload from the menu which pop ups. This will correct the no display of the subcats.

you keep giving 'em to me, I'll keep killing 'em.....

all of 'em are gone.

aff was started as a small archive, in response to the M rated stories being pulled at ff.net. There is no affiliation between the sites. I have a general idea of the what's and why's overall, but someone else who's been around since the beginning on the back end of all this would be better served to outline it all for ya. I CAN tell you from recent experience, that we're actually addressing things now that should have been addressed quite some time ago, simply due to the growth of the archive itself. It started out with something like 200 stories altogether, years ago. Of course, there's much more than that now. So, now we're in the process of making software to fit the site needs, while also shoring up, stabilizing and maintaining what's already here and in place, which we've outgrown. The current software itself simply doesn't provide the functions and capabilities we need for an archive of this size.

Melrick has made valid points. Anything like this needs some form of structure, which is what foe is outlining for all of you who are considering participating. By having a structure, you have cohesivenes and flow. I'd think it'd be more of a challenge to try and write with others, within a specific structure, than it would be to write by oneself. I've actually done this sort of thing before, but as a crafter. Without having a specific guideline to work within, our end result of a round robin was really really UGLY. I also used this as a teaching tool for drawing (sometimes) and just as a silly thing to do WITH drawing. Again, without a bit of structure involved, it got out of hand, and was certainly not enjoyable.

user will be emailed, story is deleted This is the actual TOS violation by the way
