Yeah, it's a weird word that the etymology-inclined can have fun with.

As we work to fill up our queue of features and what not, I thought I'd drop some stats information about some of things going on at the site. Reactions For the Last 6 Months: Note, that the percentage is vs the previous 6 months. Very clearly, the most positive reactions are the most popular.

Ah! That's actually a bug... There should be a chapter link there.

Your suggestion does not work for search engines. I've had 20 years experience trying that and immediately disappearing from search to prove it. Ergo, the Stories link provides Story focus while the Home link provides searchable content for search engines that allows Gay Authors to be findable in search. Click "Stories" on the red menu. 3/4 of the traffic at all times of day are in the Story Archive. As @Cia said, we are a writing community as well as story site. If you are concerned only about stories, bookmark the "Stories" link and just use that. It is set up to be functional as the homepage, less the issue with Google delisting us when we do it.

I passed the details along to the programmer. He is investigating the issue.

That all rather depends on how you mean it. And it's not a warning. It's a prompt for readers to engage. In general- Follow a story, get alerted to new chapters of that story. Follow an Author, which this prompts, get alerted to new stories from that author. Follow an Author's profile on the forums, get alerted to everything they post.

We removed that some time ago because way too many people were screwing up the process and it was too complicated for them. (it also wasn't the documented way to do it and that was confusing others...) Go to your story. (I'd recommend you bookmark your Author page, if you are concerned about too many clicks). It'll have great big bars on top if you have chapters added, but not published. If you have not published a chapter to the story inside of the min time between chapters (currently 24 hours), then you'll be able to publish immediately by pressing publish chapter. (it brings back up the publish dialog box) This change was made because too many people were screwing up adding chapters, then editing them. It has been the root cause of a bug for the last 10 years at least, where author would post something, set a date a week in advance and then edit 2 or 3 times because they didn't like how the chapter looked. It would randomly break things. This change prevents that because you can now post into the system, make the chapter look the way you want, or do a final proofread before publishing or whatever. Then when it is ready, you press publish. Although you have the option to toggle publish when you add the chapter, that is only for authors not in the Mod Queue. If you are still in moderation, that's not an option since the chapter needs to be approved prior to publishing publicly.

That will help, yes. I've reported this to our programmer. Simple work around for the moment seems to be to set a future publish time of an hour into the future.

Ok... so it might be tied to Chrome. The Samsung browser is based on Chromium with their own spin. I tend to use FireFox or Edge on the site (though Edge is also Chromium based)

@Salander, @Luca E Can you both please tell me what browser you are using and what operating system? If you tried multiple browsers, which ones? If you can go to the About and give me version numbers on software, that might help as well. I am unable to reproduce the issue on my systems and no one else is currently reporting the issue, so it is harder to track and seems more isolated.
