Per our Terms of Service, we do not remove old posts as a general rule. People that request account removal, generally get changed to Former Member. 
As we've seen, removing content has implications that we try to avoid. 

When you follow a forum, you only get notified of new topics.
You must follow a topic to get notifications of replies.
(This single level down of notifications is what has been giving us issues with chapter comment notifications, btw)
I'm getting them. 

Is there a time they stop for you?

That is not a built-in capability and we're not really looking to expend our limited resources on creating that (and then maintaining it through updates).  We're struggling enough getting the story software updated in a timely manner.

I think it is a factor of chapter size, whether you have it in cache, and how the browser loads the page.  Basically, it jumps to the anchor point (ie the comments), then the rest of the page finishes loading, leaving you in the text. I think.
 

For the first, you should have options on the image to set as...

 
As for moving it, I think it probably has to be a request to staff.
 

VigLink got turned on accidentally.  It's off now.  You should be good.

Bug!  it is being worked on.

Please try now.  It should be the Premium Content ad about coffee.

Absolutely not happening.  We do plan to put in a request queue in future revisions though. 
Here is why:
1. Removing stories messes with the search engines. 
2. We get a lot of support requests from readers asking what happened to story x? 
3. The Drama Queen problem. Sometimes people throw a hissyfit and delete something and then throw another hissyfit when we can't fix it. 
 
From 15 years experience, I can state unequivocally that allowing unrestricted deleting is a very bad idea. 
 
In the future, even unpublishing will act differently.  Unpublish will make chapters unavailable but keep story listing saying author chose to unpublish with reasons given.  Again, this is to address the near constant "What happened to story x?" requests we get. 

How about now?

Yes? The error is clear. You hit the search flood control limit. 
Wait a few seconds between searches. 

Okay.  I'll look into this over the weekend.

There was a minor update to stories on Sunday.  But it shouldn't have done anything with titles.
I'll ask someone with apple stuff to look into it.

Age is required of members for liability reasons.  We have members from age 13 to people in their 80's. 
The whole community is involved in keeping people's behaviors acceptable. This is especially true for our minors. 

There was an issue that got corrected during the software upgrade and the rebuild process.
It seems to be working now.

Okay. I've been able to produce the error and I've reported it.
 

This should be working now. Please give it a shot.

These should be back.

We went through this during the initial upgrade.  We do not control that part of the software.  Notifications are removed automatically by the system.
 

Should be all set now.

No, the only bug we've had reported is the opposite.  The solution is the same though.  You have to clear the cookie for GA. 
 
If you are truly interested in logging in all the time, just use Privacy browsing mode in your browser.  It, by definition, does not save cookies.
It is called "Incognito" in Chrome and Safari.
It is called "InPrivate" in Microsoft Edge
It is called "Private" in FireFox.
 

That is what they call a tooltip and it happens when you hover the mouse over the text editor.  The easy solution is to not leave your mouse where you are typing.  To be honest, I never even noticed it come up before.

There is a copy over on Nifty:

Okay. I'll try to answer these in orders.
There is no need to ever unpublish a chapter in order to edit.  Just hit the edit button.
 
This is by design in case an author unpublishes a middle chapter.  We had far too many support requests of "I'm reading Story X and it goes from Chapter 9 to Chapter 11.  What happened to Chapter 10?"  In the off chance someone unpublished a chapter, all following chapters are automatically unpublished.
 
This is currently a bug.  It slipped by in the previous mess and I've alerted the programmer. 
 
I put a support request into the forums software folks and this is their reply:
 
 
This bug was fixed and appears to be broken again.  The work around is to go to Advanced Search https://www.gayauthors.org/stories/browse/sort/
Select: complete, Sci-Fi and set Word Count to More Than 1000 (or any other number) and it will work.  I've reported the bug to the programmer
 

A space at the end does that as well. I had to fix Working it Out for that issue Sunday...
