Guest Vyperbites Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 I have closed the browser, restarted my computer, gone back into AFF and re-logged in, went out of the browser after logging again and tried to post the chapter and still the same problem. The text box won't let me post my chapter. I get to the page where I need to edit my chapter fine, but when I try to cut and paste it to the text and push ok to leave the text it is blank. Please help. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 are you trying to add the chapter from within your story (i.e. getting to it from the archive listing) or from your control panel? I also see 116 chapters, by the way, with an edit date of today. I tested for the subdomain both from within the story for chapter add, and from the control panel. Was able to add chapters successfully from both points. If you're adding from within your control panel, are you ignoring the "upload" file button? If you do, you should be able to c/p just fine. From within the story itself, you have to click "preview" in the bottom left corner, and add the captcha asked for. Are you not seeing the text box itself for the rich text editor? Quote
Guest Vyperbites Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 I figured I would try google chrome rather than internet explorer and I was able to post my chapter. I will use google chrome from now on. Thank you for your help. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 Internet Explorer doesn't play well with much of anything any more. That's why Microsoft replaced it with Edge. I'm not crazy about it, but at least IT works. Quote
AnonGrimm Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 I'm having a similar problem, trying to c/p a new chapter via the control panel, using Chrome, ignoring the update by file box, using rich text editor. I can add the chapter title, but the moment I paste my chapter in the rich text editor, it snaps over the "Aw, Snap! There was an error!" webpage error. I have two other tabs open in Chrome, and no problems with them. No problems with clicking around the AFF site in general, and I edited two chapters successfully before being foiled in adding the new chapter. I keep trying, but it isn't working. Restart is problematic, as I am running a sync with Google Drive. That may actually be gumming things up, but I don't think so, since everything else online works fine except c/p of a new chapter. Any ideas? Is the rich text editor having an issue tonight, or maybe it really is my sync messing it up? Thanks so much for any info or suggestions you may have. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 are you logged in using the boxes at the upper right, or the center boxes? If the center boxes, logout, then back in using the ones at the upper right. The center box login is LIMITED. Quote
AnonGrimm Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 I'm using the upper right login boxes. I just logged out and back in to be sure, but I get the same webpage error message. It really could be my Google Drive sync, but I'm nervous to restart and have it have to resync a lot of files from the start again. I will try that, if I have to. Quote
AnonGrimm Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 Oh, oh, it worked! I checked the silly firewall (just moved to Windows 10 a bit ago) and it was blocking this. I used the right click in the rich text box and when "Paste" appeared, I hit it, and that smaller "post here" box popped up and let me paste my chapter. It now says it posted successfully. Yay! (But seriously, you all are awesome for replying as fast here as you always do. Love you all! Hugs!) Quote
AnonGrimm Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 Oh, for some reason it says this story Overdrive of mine is hidden. Violation of TOS. Maybe I have an Author Note that is too long? Not sure how to check... Quote
BronxWench Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 AnonGrimm, I emailed you about the story. Quote
AnonGrimm Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 Got your email. Thanks again for all the help. I'm cropping my author note word count and added the extra fandom disclaimer. Quote
