Sniper014 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Posted October 17, 2016 Steve nice to hear from you. How are you feeling. Quote

Sniper014 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 Yes they are going to yell at you for a time while you are recovering. That is their love for you. It is when they do not yell at you that you need to know if they have lost their love for you. With that loving family you have I believe that you are going to hear a lot of yelling from them. Just lie back and take all their loving that they give you. Get better for them and you. Take it easy on your recovery even though we know that it is hard on you to just lie around. Our training we were through says to get up and shake off the injury. But listen to them. They just want to have you around for a long time. We all do. You are our friend. Quote
Desiderius Price Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Posted October 20, 2016 My internet is going to be quite limited this weekend, so I went ahead and posted early, figuring nobody would mind - DP BronxWench 1 Quote
GeorgeGlass Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) And I’m a big ol’ copycat, so I posted early, too. Or rather, I tried, but it’s not sticking for some reason. Also, I could not for the life of me figure out how to put a non-numbered summary below an autonumbered title in the TOC. Little help? Edited October 20, 2016 by GeorgeGlass Quote
Desiderius Price Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I was surprised that you could edit the TOC (I was anticipating having to do this when I get the chance.) BTW, It’s shift+enter that does the carriage return in the numbered item. I’ll clean it up when I’m done with my little trip (which is why internet’s spotty). As to why you can’t contribute, I double checked and it’s set to allow from other authors. (Though this is my first time at setting up the round robin, so I might’ve goofed) If a mod/specialist can assist, that’d be helpful until I’m done with my trip. - DP Edited October 21, 2016 by Desiderius Price Correccted key shortcut + grammar Quote
DemonGoddess Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 I checked in the database, it’s all set the way it should be to allow for adding, which, the option shows up in the upper left corner of the story. Quote
Desiderius Price Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Posted October 21, 2016 George, did you mess up on the recaptcha? I had forgotten to temporarily whitelist the recaptcha provider in NoScript (I’ve got AFF on the permanent whitelist, BTW). Quote
GeorgeGlass Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 There isn’t any recaptcha. I click “Post New Chapter,” and it tells me that the new chapter has been posted. But it hasn’t. Tried again just now and got the same result. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 I have manta looking into it, as I was able to duplicate the issue. Quote
GeorgeGlass Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 That she did! Thanks, Manta and DG! Quote
Desiderius Price Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Posted October 27, 2016 Three authors so far, feel free to submit your spooky/scary entry! (More than one story is perfectly acceptable so long as it follows the above guidelines.) - DP Quote
Desiderius Price Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Posted October 31, 2016 Trick or treat, it’s not too late to submit your story! - DP Quote
