And again, I say not broken, but CHANGED. That isn't broken at all. That means we CHANGED it. The end goal for the scripting is to make as much of it run GLOBALLY from one spot, than from 23 different spots.

Blue_GhostGhost is actually being published in a few places. She still has completed works up on this site, but her newer stuff she's got Patreon links and the like, where you pay to read. Good for her! Glad she's making a success of it.

Can't do it. Again, that goes in to some legalities for the site, because of the site hosting fanfiction. Donations to the site to keep it running, yes. Donations to individual authors of original stories, no can do. How we can ask for donations for operating expenses is BECAUSE the site is free to use. You know, we have PLENTY of authors who started here writing fanfiction, and have gone on to publish. WITH publishers. In a VARIETY of genres. If the content is something a publisher doesn't want, then perhaps more attention to the craft needs to be made.

Not broken, it's changed

Well yes, we moderate, but we don't QC. As I said, sure it would be nice to be able to offer that to our authors in original. But with the fanfiction being hosted as well, we can't.

@Joe Long We've had the suggestion here, as well, to offer subscriptions for pay for original, but that's a big problem for us. Hosting fanfiction means that we cannot in any way, shape or form, make money from people clicking in to read a story via a subscription. So, that would be why you'd never see AFF turning in to any kind of a pay site.

Here's what's going on for the coding to display it. Manta has run in to a bit of a looping issue. I expect she'll have that worked out this weekend (I'll double check on that though). I could theoretically insert the OLD code to display the hit counter, but we'd end up back with the white screen of death, as THAT code is certainly not compatible to php 5.x. I can't help with the looping issue, because when I write code on my own, I have a penchant for making the endless loop from hell. So, my input would only make it worse on that end. So, it's safer to just wait for Manta.

found and fixed. I was unable to replicate it, which tells me the cookies were working from prior to the upgrade. I know I've not cleared mine, so that would be why I didn't see it myself when clicking. There are 3 spots in the age cookie setter to direct to the subdomain it's in. Apparently there was ONE spot where the link went to anime2 instead of anime, but I've corrected it now, so should no longer be an issue.

Yeah, we are. Thanks for asking!

sounds to me like you need to clear your browser cookies.

That member was deleted at some point. That's why you're seeing the white page in the old author page format.

yep, they're accumulating in the db. Just not visibly. She said something about working on it after work today.

Not sure, really. Right now, we just want the code to parse 15 years of data. Refining things with search filters is something I expect we'll tackle much later.

That's planned for later, yes.

Just tried and went straight to anime, not anime2

Sure, this FAQ tells you how

@24CaratCoal The banner ads have not changed in size. They're still 468x60. If you meant the area in which they're displayed, I could always reduce the physical size of the table, to make it so it's more mobile/touch screen compatible. The table size has also not changed. You're right, on a desktop, this is not an issue. @sherlocked17 No, the hits are still accumulating. The DISPLAY of them relies on old code database calls which will kill things, which is why the display of them in new code is not yet restored. You can see them in the general story listings.

as far as I'm concerned, downrating out of spite is troll behavior

Nope, not miffed. I am a terse sort of person when I communicate. Especially when I'm in the middle of things. What I would LIKE to see with ratings (and I'll go over this with manta) is that who rated how is not necessarily visible, except to staff. Reason for that being when there are stories with 4 and 5 ratings all of sudden getting downrated to 1 and 2? It's a spite thing. I need to be able to find the ones doing it. This would also require login for rating, and it would no longer be truly anonymous. By doing this, it'll kill instances where this is used to abuse authors for no apparent reason. (The reason is almost ALWAYS a disliked pair)

I'm not saying the ratings won't come back. What I AM saying is that they should not come back in their current form. It's been used to abuse authors far too many times over the years.

Rating has not been restored as of yet. Given that people used this as a tool to harass authors who write pairings in some fandoms that they don't like, and downrate it out of spite, I'm pondering never having it return. At least not in its old form of being completely anonymous. I'd like to be able to track that form of trolling, the downrating.

Yup! Manta did a terrific job, as usual!

Reviews are once again enabled, pagination is changed to give next/back arrows now.

I actually use the browser increase/decrease myself.
