I think the answer is still yes - at least that was Renée's thought on Friday. 

[Puppilull]

@northie OK, then I guess I'll take my chances... LOL

My main worry is that an unpublished story will show up in the Latest story spot, even if it isn't available. I don't think you need to worry about accidental publishing, and it looks like postdated stories are now being shown in the story feed.

I will be online for the next couple hours. When you post your links, just make sure to tag me with @Renee Stevens so that I can immediately go and unapprove the stories

seems I was wrong about post-dated stories showing up in the story feed.

Myr says they're still working on the bug for that. I'm going to wait and see before I upload my anthology story. I've already missed out when the Tollbooth Operator didn't show up in the story feed, I don't want it to happen to my A.I. story too.

That may happen regardless of whether or not that story bug gets fixed soon. I'm not sure how the new system will handle the anthologies, but the old system wouldn't post them either. I'm not sure how that was fixed each anthology, but with a different system none of us knows exactly how it will work with non-published, non post-dated stories.

I guess we get to be the guinea pigs then.

I'm starting to sweat a little bit over here.  Is accidental publishing still happening?

Puppi's just had a go and it didn't work - the publishing bug is still alive and well, unfortunately.

I can see it and read it.  But that may be because I'm listed as editor.  On the old site, I could see stories if I was listed as editor or beta even if they weren't published. 

 

I can see it too, @Puppilull and I'm not listed as editor. And it's also in the story feed and in the Latest Story spot.

I'll wait with my A.I. story, then.  

 

[Sasha Distan]

I was hoping it would be "safe" to post, but like Tim, I'll wait (probably until Renee is online again and can jump onto it and wrangle the system into submission!).

[Renee Stevens]

@Timothy M. @Sasha Distan @northie

 

I will be on for the next hour or so (until around 6:30pm MST) if you get it uploaded in that time then I can go in and unapprove it.

[Timothy M.]

I was on my way to bed, but perhaps I can get it done.

[northie]

@Renee Stevens Starting now - it'll take some time because there are story notes, footnotes etc. I'll let you know when I'm done.

I've uploaded and stuck a link in the other topic, Renee.

The chapter is unapproved now and the story itself is unpublished, but even if the "story" publishes again, the chapter can't repost (or shouldn't be able to)

Thanks, I can see it in the story feed, but marked green. Hopefully, no one noticed while it was 'live.'

 

LOL, @AC Benus noticed both mine and Val's, but I can't see hers anymore, so it should be OK:

Mine was up for a short while but still got 90 views and two comments. A lot of hungry birds out there... ???

[comicfan]

Okay, I've managed to write one. Lord, I missed doing these. Poor Val. She is an angel for doing this but she is going to want more, I just know it.

[comicfan]

Ok. I am just waiting to get mine back from the Anthology team. I guess being late has its advantages. At least all the bugs getting it up has been solved.

[Timothy M.]

Desperately trying to get my second Antho story done before the deadline. @Puppilull sent me so many great suggestions for improvement.  

[northie]

@Timothy M. Good luck!

[Puppilull]

@Timothy M. I'm so sorry I goofed on the sending...  I hope you can still get it done in time!
