SisterWine Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 When I logged on last night, it was fine. I restart my computer from another upload and check in on AFF, I was signed out and the display with Profile, Penname and Control Panel vanished. The “log in” was a drop down on the Home, Latest, etc. bar…. Was this an update? Where did everything go? Why wasn’t it in the news bits? And, coincidentally, I can’t access the news links, either. What the deuce? SisterWine Quote
DemonGoddess Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 It’s all still there. Press ctrl+F5 to finish seeing the changes. The menuing is changed to make it mobile accessible. Instead of the login/out at the top right, it’s now in the menu bar. Underneath your username on the menu bar, if logged in, you’ll find a dropdown that gives you the options for your control panel.

mikimaro Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 I’m getting the new look too, and it won’t let me log in at all. What do? BronxWench 1 Quote
BronxWench Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 Try refreshing and logging in again. The login is now a small gray click button under the dropdown that says either Sign In or your pen name. Just be very careful you’re inputting your password with capital letters if you used them. It’s case sensitive. Quote
WillowDarkling Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 Just letting you girls know, I just checked… took me a moment to find the login, but you know, this is me we’re talking about… but, I managed to log in, then hovered over my penname and clicked profile, not selecting anything from the drop down menu, and it took me to my profile. But, seemed to log me out at the same time. At least my penname at the right hand side of the menubar, it said “Login” again. Don’t know if it helps anything, or if it’s just me and shit’s going to blow up in a bit… ::looks around suspiciously:: This is me… I breathe in the general direction of your tech stuff and it blows up… you’ve all seen it happen, girls! And just because I’m your neko, I liked the old style better I know it’s done for the mobile friendly thing, but you know I hate change ::runs away to hide in the cardboard box:: UPDATE: I closed the Archive, wrote this post here, then went back to the Archive… and was still logged in See, I told you it was my utter lack of technical understanding… I’m going to bed. Had a final and a presentation today, and got review and a final I’m thoroughly unprepared for tomorrow… Love y’all, and see yous laters! BronxWench 1 Quote
mikimaro Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Nope, it’s still not letting me log in. I tried refreshing, I tried on different browsers and on my tablet, I tried resetting my password. Nothing works. edit- Ok, ok. After a lot of messing around, it seems to be letting me log in (and keeping me logged in) on all the pages of the site except the main/home page of the archives. Is that normal?

BronxWench Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 Our coder is tweaking things to make the site more mobile-friendly. It’s going to be something of a guess until she’s done, but I’ve had a few issues staying logged in as well, if I try to use multiple tabs. Bear with us, and I’m sure we’ll get it sorted out quickly.

Sage of Discord Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 Haven’t had a problem logging in or staying logged in, but this ‘in-between’ state the site’s in is just irritating. Quote

We don’t do it to be irritating, trust me. We’re trying to accommodate mobile users, which we’ve gotten a great many requests to do. Unfortunately, the old adage holds true: “You can’t please all of the people all of the time.” Quote
JayDee Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Any chance of developing seperate Mobile and desktop versions (like how sites have those m. versions that auto-detect a phone)? Seems to work for https://m.xkcd.com/ Wouldn’t have to be implemented right away, just a thought. If it’s a question of server room you could go ahead and delete celeb. I wouldn’t mind, and as a solipsist I think my opinion is more important than y’all illusions. Edit: This isn’t a complaint, just a query!

Guest Inked_4_Life Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 OK. So I don't post stories or anything. I'm just an avid reader and the new site setup is driving me insane. Please just pick one. I come to read stuff and everything has moved around, I can't find anything and it's frustrating. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 The links are in the menu. We had more users that could NOT do anything at ALL due to the menuing being inoperative on a mobile device of any kind, so we had to change the menuing accordingly. You go to the top menu, you select a subdomain. The DEFAULT has always been to have the homepage load, and to navigate to the subdomains where you read. So, the change has been in how to do it. Instead of clicking the left nav menu, you click a subdomain choice from the top menu. Quote
BronxWench Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 Under the Archives menu option on the top bar, you will find the subdomains. You need to parse through the Main Archives and Anime Archives subdivisions to find most of the subdomains. NonEnglish and Originals display separately. The stories are all there, but it will take a few more clicks to get there. Quote
Sage of Discord Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 I suppose it’s like all the other changes over the years and I’ll get used to it, but I’ve only had a smartphone for literally three months and I never had one seconds trouble navigating the site on it. *shrugs* JayDee 1 Quote
Sage of Discord Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 Oh, one more thing. Any ETA on how long it will be before the site goes secure again? I dislike logging in when there’s a red bar... Quote
BronxWench Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 I haven’t had a red bar yet. I’ve had issues myself staying logged in, but no red bars on the archive or forum. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 I’ll have to have Nexcess figure out why the security certs we pay for aren’t working right. Quote
Shapooda Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 I don’t see anyone having mentioned it, so maybe I’m just dumb, but when I view a story I don’t see a chapter selection, I only get arrows at the bottom. Is this in flux or am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks! Quote

Is this in flux or am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks! It’s actually at the very top of the story, under the title and author. There’s a little line reading “Chapter List” which is kind of easy to miss, but if you click it, it will give you a chapter dropdown. Mousing over that dropdown will let you scroll down it to get to the chapter you want. Shapooda 1 Quote
DemonGoddess Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 I’m going to suggest a darker background for that option, so that it’s easy to see. Down arrow mousing for chapters is actually a new thing for us. Quote
Sage of Discord Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Anyone else having problems with staying logged in? I have do it every time I close down my browser. The info is still in the boxes, so its not really a problem, but it seems odd. Quote
BronxWench Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 It’s not just you. I’m logged out every time I close my browser as well. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 manta is currently debugging this problem. Can you let us know WHEN it logs you out? Is it only when you close your browser, or at other times? That will help her. Quote
BronxWench Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 I am logged out every time I close my browser or navigate between my profile page and the home page. I have to log in on both pages in order to stay logged in if I navigate to a subdomain from either page. Quote
Guest Shiro Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Not gonna lie as an iPad user this new layout is very inconvenient. Who ever said that menuing being inoperative on mobile must have been doing something wrong. I’ve never had a problem once with the old layout then again i never made an account so maybe that was the issue Quote
