First of all, yes, this has all been covered extensively here in forum. The forum itself has a robust search feature, so you might want to use it to bring up the topics that are pertinent to your concerns. As to the warnings/story tags, you have to understand that this software for the archive is old. Because it's old, there are many, many limitations as to what we can and cannot do with it. We have something working for upgrade (it's being completely rewritten) but that takes a fair amount of time to write a program to where it works, from the ground up. So, for now, we have what we have. There is a definition for the story tags/warnings in the FAQ section here.
Again, there are many things that the current software simply will not allow us to implement.
That is also something slated to be done for the future. Different skins, with a selector for what the user wants to use, other than the default. It is not, unfortunately, an option now.
It's actually data corruption leftover from the 2003 crash. That is being cleaned up at present
Definitely not a possibility. It has nothing to do with organization, but that the software doesn't support it as an option.
Sorting by title'd be nice, but.....we'll see. That all depends on what kind of addition to query loads it would create. The object to what we've been doing the last few weeks is to REDUCE the query load, not to increase it. Let's get done what needs done first, and then we can look at different features that we can incorporate into the new code. Our sort is by latest added/updated, which is common to any other fiction archive I've ever seen as well. This is normally because readers want to see what has been updated, not so much sort it all alphabetically.
