I will be... with lots and lots and lots of warnings that it won't be completed.

A fairly sized bug patch update to the forums has just occurred and the error was claimed to be fixed. I have reactivated it and the content is rebuilding again. Early testing is looking good. The feature is called lazy loading and it is very important for mobile devices as it only loads images when you scroll to them, thus allowing the page to load much faster.

No. The link worked when I clicked on it and the story is now listed in the series. And the bug is now reported to the programmer.

Almost everything requires me to poke it to see what odd things pop out. lol

@Timothy M., if you are going to keep finding obscure use-cases of the software and corresponding bugs, please at least link to the stories and series in questions so that I can speed up my response time. 😛 You do not have a second author listed on your series page. I see he is listed in the series when I go to edit it. It's possible that he needs to approve your usage. You can attempt this by removing him from the series in the edit. Saving. Editing the series again and re-adding him and then have him check his PM and click approve. You might have done this during the initial role out of the feature and as this is not a much used feature, there could still be bugs. you will see this if you have added and they approved: As for multiple authors, the system works off from the primary author, not the secondary ones. As you are co-author as the secondary author, it's not going to show up in the series list... unless the primary author is listed on the series as a secondary and approved (and the system is doing what's it is supposed to do). In theory, you should be able to add the series after @aditus approves. If not, after he approves, he should be able to add it to your series, in theory. Also, because this is an Anthology, the permissions are different than the normal story categories. Series and Worlds are supposed to ignore edit permissions, but I'm not entirely sure it is working as intended.

I'm glad you liked it

Promising Author group setting has been corrected for profiles cover images.

This appears related to one of the new features that is intended to improve speed on mobile. The company has still not released a patch. I have turned off the feature and the system is rebuilding content currently.

This is not related to the profile cover images. It sounds like a setting issue. I'll look into it.

Thanks Everyone! It sure does, doesn't it? 🤪

First thing this morning, I applied a new Stories Archive software update. This was a minor update that was mostly focused on bugs. Added new feature on forum posts that shows how many Stories you have reviewed and how many story/chapter comments you have made Added "Story Review Guidelines", "Story Comment Guidelines" and "Chapter Comment Guidelines" feature that pops up a box when clicked that can offer general site guidelines for posting comments and reviews. If you click on them currently, you'll get "Coming Soon" Added a story-only reputation count, that is currently only showing to staff. We're working on getting that changed so that it shows to staff and the author. This directly affects those in the story moderation queue and the automatic promotion out of it. When browsing by World, Series, or Story, miscellaneous media items will no longer appear in the list. Only banners for promoted author groups will show. The "Featured Story" that the staff pins on the first page of the story listing, will now properly not cover the story search bar for non-author groups. On stories where there are many Authors, Editors and Beta Readers, they will now be listed alphabetically. (Main Author is always listed first and additional authors are alphabetical) Unpublished chapter count where dozens of chapters were listed as unpublished is now corrected. The meta data on stories should now correctly reflect published chapter data not everything. (error was seen where it would say there are 10 chapters, but only 6 would be visible) Miscellaneous bug fixes. The only major feature still in the pipeline are the Statistics. We've been collecting them since Jan 2018. There are more than 18,000,000 hits since that time. The release of the new forum version that required a lot of rewriting, delayed it. There are also a number of bugs, some of them very stubborn, that we're still working on. Some of this is caused by the default behavior of the underlying software that we have to work around. (double notification thing on reactions, for example) Stay Tuned and be sure to follow this blog. It helps me track how useful people find these posts.

Editors, beta readers, other authors are now listed alphabetically.

The author was able to list them alphabetically. This will be in the next update. They were being listed by member number, apparently.

This isn't Facebook or Pinterest or Instagram... we must pay for everything we store either directly or in our backup files.

I have contacted the programmer for more details on this.

Yes, there appears to be an issue. It has been reported to the forum folks.

The bug report refers to this topic, so the programmer will see it.

See last post... Bug has been reported, it has not been fixed.

Yes. And Thanks Everyone! There is a sequel to this one in another anthology. And I do plan to continue that, of course.

I have reported the bug.

I'd check those links. It's entirely possible that they reacted to different chapters. The ones together being the same chapter and the second one a different chapter.

This seems to be a story bug. I've let the programmer know.
