Bittersweet October - Fall is upon us |
2013-10-04 |
Firstly, I'd like to welcome all the new users we're seeing daily! Glad to have you here! Please do familiarize yourself with the Terms of Service and Content Guidelines. This IS a moderated archive.
Moderation Status (2013) Updated monthly. September report is here.
Dribs, Drabs and Doggy Tales Current bi-monthly prompt is here Current monthly prompt is here
Newly published authors From time to time, we come across in the archive where one of the users is picked up by a publisher. Congratulations!
+sniffles+ We didn't see any this time around.
Proof of age On occasion, when checking age on a user, staff will come across wildly conflicting information. When this happens, I will email that user, and ask for proof of age. Please understand that if there is no response to this, the user in question will be deleted. This is something I have to do, as this site is, and always has been restricted in use to users aged 18 and over.
Instructions on how to provide proof of age are here.
Story rewrites As has been stated previously, duplicates of the same story are not allowed. However, we do understand that at times an author looks at something old, and opts to rewrite it. When this is what you want to do, the procedure for it is outlined here. We all understand that authors would love to keep their original reviews, hit counts and the like as well. By my merging the old to the new, you can.
Category requests and creation There are a few ways where I'll create a new subcategory, upon request.
First (and quickest), request it in the forum. Directions for that are here. You don't need a forum login to make this request.
Request via email, at technicalsupport@adult-fanfiction.org?subject=New Category. The above rules apply to an email request as well.
Name the fandom in your story itself, by disclaiming it properly. I go through the misc. categories about once a week and create categories for stories where there isn't one.
Please note this does NOT apply to pair specific type categories. For those, I need to see links to 5 pre-existing stories, with the pair that you want the category for.
Access bans, and why they happen Banning a user is not something done on a whim, or whenever. There are certain conditions which make it so this will happen:
Minor deletions, and why they affect some review counts Current minors -
Old minors -
With an OM, if there are stories attached, all data posted AFTER the 18th birthday is allowed to stay. Rather than just outright deleting all content such a user has added, I go through the review tables as well, and allow the post 18 reviews to stay too. In all honesty, it's much easier to delete these outright, but that means that many reviews that don't need to be deleted, will be. It takes much longer to process something like this, rather than a standard minor deletion.
Funding Status As always, we appreciate and thank everyone who can donate. It's certainly not required of the users, but every little bit helps!
Tech Bits
Internet Explorer- I've done everything I can to try and make the old code compatible to the browser. As nothing has worked, the best bet is for users to use something different for adding stories, such as Chrome or Firefox. The archive works in EVERY other browser I've tried, just not IE. At least not easily for IE.
I have managed to make it so that IE 10 and up should work with no issue, and that with IE 9 you still have to use the workaround. Anything less, my guinea pigs informed me that sometimes they experience their computers locking up at worst, and at best it loads only the chapter title and still no text box, with no way to get to it.
There is a workaround, but it only seems to work for Win Vista and up computers, and IE 9 and up. Thing is, if I make it so that everything works with Internet Explorer, then everything BREAKS for all the other browsers. To me, that's not a viable option.
Domain change- Due to personnel changes over the years, somehow, the site managed to lose control of the original domain. If you think about it, last year from 9-14 through 9-16, we were effectively down, until the domain was renewed (and not by the site). This is why the domain has been changed. The new domain is attached to the site account, and renewable via the hosting account as well. As the person who has the old domain refuses to transfer it back to the site, there was no other choice. Unless of course we wanted to go through absolute and utter hell every year, waiting for it to be renewed. I've gotten everything permanently redirected, in all subdomains. What this means, is if you click an old link, it'll take you to the new one.
Technical support- As stated previously, please allow up to 48 hours for initial response. I do try to (and usually manage to) answer much sooner than that, but depending upon my real life obligations, usually work stuff, is how long it actually takes me to be able to get to things. It is CRITICAL that when asking for technical support, you provide as much detail as you can. The more details you give me, the better able I will be to find an answer for you.
When given response, please make sure you follow the directions exactly as given. If one takes the time to read the directions, and follows them step by step, the problem being experienced is usually resolved at that point.
Our FAQ section has much useful information. Having said that, if you're still having trouble, you can either email tech support, or post in the tech support forum. It can take me up to 48 hours to respond, due to real life obligations. Please be patient, I WILL get to you as soon as I can.
Please remember that the authors you read do like to hear from you! Leave them a review or two, and let them know how they're doing!
