You appear to have some sort of malfunction or virus infection. That is, the problem is on your end, not ours.

You can search the text of the story chapters by selecting story chapter in the search box. If you don't narrow it down, it searches everywhere. Tags/genres are not search able fields in the same way, however.

@drown already covered, but yes.. Click Name to get Author Profile (Story Listing) and click Photo to get Member Profile (site profile) This is not part of the Story Archive and changes to its function our largely outside our control. Thus outside the purpose of this discussion. On the Activity system "All Activity" is, oddly enough, All Activity you have access to. there is no Follow or unfollow... it's All Activity. That's it's purpose. Creating your Own activity stream would allow you more flexibility, but it is a fiddly system and beyond the capabilities of most of our users. Thus we don't bring it up often. When you go to the Writing World Blog, just select categories if the normal sorting is too much for you. All Activity shows ALL Activity you have access to. Some Clubs are Open (anyone can post), Public (Anyone can see, but only members can post), Closed ( You can see it's there and request to join, but you can't see any activity until you do), and Private (You can't see it unless invited). Comicality Club, like other Fan Clubs are open to be seen, but you have to be a member to post. So, that's why it is visible in All Activity. Someone is using the Member Dashboard? That's a page with a lot of widgets and test features. As for the Story of the Moment, it is tucked away on the MEmber Dashboard and not being used any where else because of that limitation. There is a bug that we were not able to fix previously. With the changes to the underlying software since the last attempt, it might be fixable now. I'll add the "Story of the Moment" widget back on to our develop list. Please keep this topic on Story Archive and Story related features/functions. Those are much more under our direct control than other software and thus something we can do something about.

There is, yes. Though he asked for more. For reference, the site uses something called fluid design. There is only 1 theme which adjusts to fit the device you are on. The 'mobile version' just shrinks down and moves around the elements. You can see this on a desktop by making your browser really small like a phone. The theme fluidly reshapes to fit the size of your browser.

This exists now and is called "Reading History". You need to turn it on to make use of it. "Reading History Stores a maximum of 50 stories for up to 30 days. If you wish to keep your track of your stories long term, add them to a Collection!" I have made notes on your other request.

My uncle discovered that plate glass windows work wonders in getting the bird without the pellets. But the glass in the dining room and delivery of the uncooked, unprocessed quail directly to the table is a bit much...

Fellow Site Members: Welcome to 2024! There are going to be some big software changes this year as the software that powers our website, Invision Community, goes from version 4.X to 5.0. The big key under the hood changes for this version will be modernizing the software and removing some of the legacy weight it has been carrying for a long time. Their main target seems to be making the software even more mobile friendly. With over 50% of our traffic coming from Mobile, more speed, better function and more stable behavior on mobile should be seen as a good thing. The knock-on of these changes is that we have to basically heavily rewrite our Story Archive to work in the system. We have already started working with a new developer that will be helping us with improvements when that time comes. Before then though, we are working to address some of the shortcomings of the current system, some lingering bugs, and missing features. As we will be working on the system more actively now, I'm going to open up a question to everyone to make sure we what we can on improvements. If you could have just two things from the Story Archive on site, what would they be? * * Useful clarifications: Functions and capabilities of the Story Archive on Gay Authors More authors adding more stories is not a software function Please comment below and we'll see what we can do. One thing already in process is adding Story Status to our Genre Top 10 blogs. This information is pulled via a report we have built into the system and the report is getting updated.

Welcome to the 2024 Genre deep dive. We're going to be doing these each week based on the feedback we got last year. There are plans to keep tweaking things. We have already started the process of making software updates for the site now that we have found a new software developer. There are nice enhancements for blogs like this and our weekly wrap ups that we'll see later in the year. Let us know what you like and what you'd like to see and we'll see what we can do.
