More minor tweaks
You can now filter story listings by length in the Browse tab. A few other minor visual changes were added tonight, too.

We're still working on Author and Story email alerts--they'll be in the next major update to the site, hopefully coming along within the next week.

Thanks again to everyone who's given us feedback on the site! We've had some really good suggestions coming in, and several of them are already implemented on the site. Keep them coming!

Loki-L Very good, but I have some minor nitpicks again. The story length filter is displayed when browing recent stories, but it has no effect.

The visual changes seem to have resulted in displaying some stuff in a really tiny and hard to read font in Opera. (On the main page the row at the top with Home, Search, Browse, Help and My Account and the titles of stories on the right side in the Feautured Story and Recent Stories boxes appear to be affected.)

admin Both of these errors should be fixed now--let us know if you're still seeing them.

YasminM A few problems with the story editing/upload:

When I edited a fic of mine today, indents were automatically inserted at every carriage return. Also, it seems that the script no longer understands multiple spaces between paragraphs/lines.

Loki-L I am not sure but some of the text still displays with a really small fon-size for me, it is not a big problem though. The story length filter works everywhere I tried now.

The parsing of uploaded stories that YasminM mentioned is really annoying. You can't feed it normal text because it will autmoatically insert paragraphs everywhere and you can't feed it normal html files either.

One thing that is really annoying about story upload is that there is no easy way to upload text that contain html entities. (You know umlauts, accents or emdashes.) You can upload a normal html-file that contains them, but when you hit preview it recognizes them and turns them into normal charcters. If you just submit after having previewd it will not use the html entities for the source code. To make sure that it really displays the way it is intended you have to replace them again in the text-box before you can upload them.

I realize that the above sound a bit confused, but that is the best way that I can discribe the problem.

Kemayo I've put up a tweak to the upload page that should make it respect html entities. (Apart from  .) It should also stop doing all that indenting.

Also, I've swapped story preview and display back to using br until I can get bugs worked out of the function that adds p tags.

Wallwalker I have a quick suggestion - I've noticed a couple of cases where people delete and repost fics with negative ratings. I just wondered if it would be possible to credit points back to the people who gave the ratings when that happens, so that the points aren't wasted.

Great job on the site so far. ^^

LOL!
Now, you need to remind people that html tags are read as html tags- I just got a review where she inclosed a quote within a pair of arrows- and the quote disappeared. (But it shows in the review notification, thank you and wonderful job on that feature!)
Also, to make para breaks in a review nessitates an html command. Now i know.

Try pressing Ctrl and using your scrolly-wheel.
