  1. You can use an @mention by typing the @ symbol followed by the name of the person. You must select the name and it will turn blue. You can see a demo here:

  3. The problem with software these days is you have to make it for so many combinations of hardware and apps. This is why Microsoft is perceived to be buggy where Apple is not so much. This is just the difference between a completely open ecosystem versus a completely closed one.
  4. First note... Android is a modern mobile operating system. It is still pretty much shit for content creation. (You need either Windows or Apple powered PC (or Linux if you are masochist). If you are doing content creation on a primary touch device... well... good luck. The software world is still working on that. I just tried using Word on Android to copy a formatted story from Android Word to Android Chrome. It did not carry the format over as it does with a real PC. This is not a bug on Gay Authors. This is a bug on Android. We obviously can't fix that (and neither can Google with their shit version control issues). I'd recommend either using a real PC or using the editor to format. Myr
  5. Piss Poor Design. They are adding it back in in the 4.2 software update, which will be a couple months. In the meantime, I've updated major groups to allow you to hide your content. NOTE: This flags moderation so you'll see hear from the Mod Team, if you're doing things that is odd.

  13. It's fine. Just don't put the same review in two places. Google gets really snotty about "duplicate content". You can write a long review on the blog. Then when you write the story review, make it shorter and include a link to the longer review. It'll make a nice little blog insert into the post. Also link the story in your blog.. like below. (just paste the link and it auto formats)

    Working

    Has it been two weeks? It already feels like two years. Aside from all the work here, I work full time. We have the same issue with our programmer, but he's on a totally different time schedule. So it adds to some complications in getting these bugs fixed. I'm sorry it is taking so long, but some things are being a bit stubborn. You guys see the ship is moving, but you don't see that the engine keeps randomly spewing oil all over the engine room. I'm just happy we keep moving. In order to stay somewhat sane, I've been taking a break from working on stuff to enjoy the new game, Mass Effect: Andromeda. I'm enjoying the game a lot, even with all the well documented quirks, shall we say. It is truly funny at times... both intentionally and not so intentionally. (look up duck walk Mass Effect on YouTube) Hopefully, we'll get these bugs all wrapped up in the next couple weeks and we can focus on the new stuff going forward. There are some pretty nice changes coming in 4.2 version of the forums. We're looking at replacing Chat. The next version of stories should have the previously mentioned "Reading Lists" feature in it that does a much better job with Favorite Authors, Favorite Stories, a To Read List, Your Reading History, and custom lists. (Stories 2.1). The version after that is aimed at authors and making managing story posting a lot easier for both authors and for us with our new Story Queue system. (Stories 2.2). Both of these features were removed from this release of stories in order to get it out faster. Also, we should have a lot less issues with the next updates, as they are relatively minor changes to existing stuff, unlike the giant upgrade we just did. Once all that stuff is finally behind us, I'd really like to get back to reading and writing for fun.

    It is if you use a larger screen.
  17. There was a permissions issue with the Editor group and it should now be fixed.
  18. Try now.
  19. This issue should be fixed when the rebuild tool is triggered.
  20. Try again. I have made some adjustments to the group settings.
  21. Leave the no space in. That's how it should appear in the editor. if you view source, you should see: <p> Leave the no space in. That's how it should appear in the editor. </p> <p>Paragraph 2</p>
  22. I'll look into having the existing stories and chapters run through the rebuild process that the rest of the site went through. Don't do anything yet.
  23. Notifications are no longer something you can delete. The system handles that. I've updated some settings with notifications so you can make some adjustments to how you get alerts: https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/notifications/options/
  24. I just added it on the desktop editor.
