There's still a subdomain with the login link in the review board? Those do NOT work.

All DC stuff is in the comics and DC subdomain. You'll find that here. There is a top level for the Teen Titans cartoon, and the comics verse stuff has its own category as well.

It would be a research/teaching station of some sort, I'd think. So the names you've come up with so far, are workable.

As the leaves are falling... 12 October 2014

Post resource? -
I do not appreciate you reading in to what I say, something entirely different from what I said. As with Bronx, I'm a blunt old thing. In point of fact, I'm blunt enough that I TEMPER that here, so as to not offend people. No one, was, in fact, hostile, except perhaps for you. "Freezing" a site, as you say, to rebuild from the ground up is not practical. By doing that, we have an archive that cannot be added to while this ground up rebuild is done. That is not going to happen. The whole POINT of what we're doing, is to stay live while the changes are made. If this archive is not to your tastes, find another one.

While I would LOVE to be able to do that, where the category is assigned later on down the chain, it's not possible. Not with a code rewrite, or anything like that. That has to do with the database structure itself. Each subdomain has, for all intents and purposes, a mini db. At the time this split was made, it was necessary due to OS limitations for database size. We were able to trick it by using the tables as mini dbs, in to seeing the different table sets as mini dbs, which made it so we didn't exceed the (at the time) 2GB database size limitation. Now, many years later, this database is 9GB in size altogether. There is no feasible way to merge all those tables in to one set, and make one database to be able to do what you want. Not even with cloning. We already HAVE a mess we're fixing, and frankly, I am not at all interested in making it even worse and having that much more to manually repair. Me, myself, and I, that is. If we were to "start from scratch", we'd lose a huge amount of data. That is not acceptable, so won't be happening. The software itself is actually in the process being completely rewritten and modernized, as we are well aware of the code deficiencies in the old software. However, the rewrite is being done in such a way as to PRESERVE all the data, not lose any of it.

Been a long, long time, yes?

Okay, everyone take a damn chill pill. While we certainly appreciate humor, I do agree with Melrick, in that saying something like that, about disallowing a large part of the archive, is harmful to the site as a whole. In that respect, if Melrick feels you need warned or whatever, in the interest of protecting this archive, I WILL support him.

Not a big deal, you can do what you like with it. If I remember to, I'll tinker with the settings this weekend.

ROFL. Actually, there are posting algorithms attached to what stocks sell for what, and so on. I haven't adjusted any of it for a couple years.

Nope, not a PIA at all! These are things I do need to know, since I can FIX them. -
If I remember correctly, she downed her work not just here, but wherever she had it posted, because she was reworking it.

The default for the board is Eastern time. Also for the archive and any other software.

This is what I'm seeing You need to press ctrl+F5 to force refresh so you can see the changes -
I'll add in my nickel to this. We REQUIRE users to properly tag their stories, so that if it contains content which may be objectionable to a reader, they know to skip it. As long as the characters in question are fictional, if you look at the story tag listing, you'll see exactly what we do allow. Because it's something you don't care for, or for that matter, that I don't care for, doesn't mean the author cannot post it. As long as the author follows our ToS and CG, we do not censor content.

Decided to check this morning instead. Try changing it again, and tell me what happens. It should be fixed. -

I'll look in to this after work, because this shouldn't be doing this. -
As a reader, that's something I would never do. Authors write, first and foremost, for themselves. You know that getting in to reading any given story. Hell, you know that when you buy a book. No, absolutely do not change the story. Your story, your words, your rules.

I will when I sort the category. Which will be a while.
