DemonGoddess Posted October 17, 2010 Report Posted October 17, 2010 Status Updates from Apollo Art for a 2011 AFF Calendar Contest Whoooohooooo! So far 12 people have downloaded the template for the 2011 AFF Calendar Art Contest! I can't wait to see what amazing art everyone is working on! For those that haven't downloaded the template or gotten started, remember that submissions are due by 11-7-10, so there is still plenty of time to get something in! You can visit this topic for all the important details! Dribs, Drabs and Doggy Tales! Thank you to everyone who responded to our very first prompt, "Haunt!" We had 9 responses so far this week! Don't forget that the topic doesn't close until 11:59pm tonight, so there is still time to get in an entry. For everyone that has participated, we will be sending you the badge for this week that you can display where you so choose! If you've read the entries, please don't forget to review the story and let the Author know you liked it! As a reminder, the next topic is now posted, please visit this forum and starting Sunday 8am you can post your new entries! Twitter update The link in your profile to your twitter account is now live! We have created the following FAQ that has some handy links on how to set up/use Twitter. While we understand that having something integrated into the site for updates would be ideal, this is a great work around in the meantime. Plus it gives you yet another way to communicate with your readers! You can also follow us on Twitter for additional news, updates etc by following @AdultFanFiction or simply visiting our Twitter page: http://www.twitter.com/adultfanfiction Funding Status Information to exact status is always found on the donations page. Currently, the site has $229.59 stored in PayPal. October's hosting costs have been paid and with expected advertising revenue we are well covered for November! We do always appreciate donations though! Please see the donation page for further information on how. Tech and Moderator Staff Status from DemonGoddess061 Forum Modifications The modifications which users were used to having, meaning the arcade, the battle shop, casino, and "store" are not yet rewritten for version 3.x of the Invisionboard. Until they are, they won't be added back as they will not work. We will keep checking them and when they become available, we will have them up. Jump Menu This is located in the user profile (what other users in the archive see), as well as the user panel (where you add stories) that allows you to move between the various sub-domain. Before adding stories to the archive, please be sure to use the jump menu to ensure you are in the correct sub-domain. We routinely delete on sight anything that is added to the wrong sub-domain. To use the jump menu, you simply select a "zone"(subdomain) from the drop down list, and click go. Then you add your work. Stories added to the wrong sub-domain As stated above, we routinely delete new adds to sub-domains that do not belong there. You will see, throughout the archive, a category called zMisplaced Admin Use Only. It really IS admin use only, so please do not add anything to those categories and expect them to stay. The only stories that I move to there, are pre-existing from before the archive recategorization and clean up, which I know I have to move from one subdomain to another. Anything new added to those categories is deleted. Avatar File Naming We understand that people would like to be able to upload their own avatars to the site. It's been a feature that users have enjoyed since it was implemented. However, we need to revisit file names for the avatars. When you upload a file with more than 15 characters, it throws off all the formatting in the page and makes it very difficult for users to navigate and pick one. I go through the avatar subdirectory every few days (no less than once a week) and delete any avatar which exceeds the 15 character limit for the file name. This limit does not include the extension (i.e. .gif, .jpg). Please be considerate of your fellow users when uploading avatars. Disclaimer Issues and Other Problems I've created a new sub-forum for this specifically, where, for example, your story has been hidden because we told you the disclaimer needed to be fixed and it wasn't. No forum login is required, you simply post to the forum with your story title and sub-domain (otherwise I have NO idea where to look), and that it was hidden and you've corrected the issue. At that point, one of the mod staff will look at your story to verify. If it's still not corrected, we'll tell you that. If it's corrected and unhidden, we tell you that too. This forum is located here. Please cease posting these topics to tech support. This is NOT a tech support issue. As always, please remember to FEED your authors! It means a lot to them. DG for Apollo
WillowDarkling Posted October 17, 2010 Report Posted October 17, 2010 Hey, DG. Just noticed something I wanted to point out to you in this post. The due date for the calendar art submissions, shouldn't it be 11-7-10? rather than 11-7-11? I mean it's for the 2011 calendar... just wanted to let you know... Anyways, thanks for the update.
DemonGoddess Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Posted October 17, 2010 LOL yes. Where is the mistyped date?
ApolloImperium Posted October 17, 2010 Report Posted October 17, 2010 Whoops!!! I was all about the 2011 thing and apparently wanted me make an anagram. Thanks
WillowDarkling Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Looks like you guys found the typo... you crack me up.
ApolloImperium Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Looks like you guys found the typo... you crack me up. Hehe - no writer is perfect! Though for next years contest I'm totally gonna have to have 11-7-11 as a date... Craps numbers and a number anagram will be too good to pass up!
WillowDarkling Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Hehe - no writer is perfect! Tehe, I know how that feels... Apparently in my world there are not minutes, only "mintues". It is a very cool anagram actually. Although the 10-(insert date)-10 anagrams are kind of cool too. But I'm biased, hubby's birthday is in October.. EDIT: How come my quote tags don't work?
FairySlayer Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 EDIT: How come my quote tags don't work? It looks like the [/size] and [/color] tags landed inside of the the [/quote]'s opening [ : [quote][color="#222222"][size="2"]Hehe - no writer is perfect![[/size][/color]/quote] (Man, it's tough to show the tags without there being a [noparse] tag!)
