There are many variables here. As a general rule, yes, it should work just fine. There are some exceptions: You must be using a computer. Tablets and Phones are not content creation devices and they may or may not work with the editor as intended due to the under-powered, locked-down nature of such devices. It may work just fine. I can paste formatted stuff in on both my phone and my tablet. It also depends on what you are using for word processing AND how you have something like Word configured. If you end up with crazy double spacing, you can clear that up on the Word side by doing a find and replace... find ^p^p and replace with ^p. Even if it looks crazy after a paste into the editor, it might show up fine in the chapter due to our display filtering. Yes... but you should not be changing fonts and font sizes. It's very likely the system will strip it out so that the chapter formatting tools work properly. There are some exceptions: You must be using a computer.

The sort seems to now be working. https://www.gayauthors.org/stories/browse/?sortby=story_wordcount&sortdirection=desc&page=1

This should be working, by the way.

Okay. It worked yesterday, but we had another update over night that seems to have broken it. Hopefully it is corrected again soon.

We fixed the advanced search issue Monday per update post in the announcements forum. Are some features not working now?

@Lanie Yes. Just choose "Advanced Search" on the right side menu on the Stories page. https://www.gayauthors.org/stories/browse/sort/ Choose Comments for "Sort" and Uncheck 'any' by tags and then select the tags you want. This will give you the most commented on stories with the tag you seek.

Thanks everyone!

Personally, I search for ^p^p and replace with ^p. This is basically required if you see spacing on Word's default setup. If you have tweaked your settings to show spacing on a single carriage return, then you don't need to do this. Best way to check is to turn on the Paragraph symbols, which is that ¶ symbol. if you see ¶¶ between groups of words, you'll get the double spacing problem. The find and replace I mentioned above, ^p^p with ^p, fixes this issue. It is really hard programmatically to accept every possible input type and make it correctly output... the editor does a sort of best case of that. We have further filters on the display part of it to make sure that things look right and that the chapter controls work. (contrast, indent, size, etc)

Usually notifications... but background tabs are updated at different rates based on browsers and other factors. (like battery saving). So you might have cleared the notification in your active window but the background tab is out of synch.

I've added this to the list to at least look into.

I rewrote. and I'm rewriting again. But work on the site keeps me away from writing these days.

It should be noted that when you tell it to clear formatting... it clears the formatting. Italics is a formatting option.

Images on the Story Table of Contents page should be working again.

The purpose of the chapter text box is chapter text. Chapter Notes and chapter end notes are places for links. I would imagine that the links are running afoul of the new text filters that are designed to fix the... variations.. authors input so that the output looks correct on all devices.

Yes, this is the wrong spot. Notifications are being worked on. Please see this blog:

Renee and Wesley were caught in a bug related to deleting stories. If he posts content, it will clear. If he does not, then the patch code we are expecting soon, should clean up the issue. (There are some corrupt items in the database)

I should add that I'm not getting one. I love my Galaxy S7 and the only complaint I have is that the phone triggers to easy in my ape-like hands. The wrap-around the corner screen on the S8 is a non-starter. If I can't hold my S7 without triggering stuff I don't want, how the hell can you hold a phone with no safe places to touch?
