Everything looks great! I´m impressed! 
I´m a bit confused, though...
Where are the 'Download'-thingie and 'Watch this story'-thingie at the bottom of the fics? Are they gone? Will they stay gone?
And where´s my list of 'Watched stories'? Is it supposed to be "missing in action" or am I looking for it in the wrong place? 
I really hope I´m just confused and that you haven´t decided to get rid of it.....it would make me so, so sad....  |

No, when you click on a story, look at the right of it. You will see that these features are not gone... actually, they expanded on it! Yay!

Go to User Control Panel and everything is listed there.

We might try and keep up with the seasonal themes (all depends on time available) but as for the seasons per se, don't forget that it's Spring here and about to be Summer. I doubt very much I'll be in the mood to make Autumn and Winter banners! Just wouldn't be right.  |
Do, I will be sure to check out the Movies/TV section.
Oh, no, what could be more depressing than working on autumn and winter banners in spring and summer? The only time that winter pictures would be preferable would be during a heat wave. Christmas shouldn't be too bad, though. It's a fun time. |

Yay! 
Thanks, Rhapsody, for pointing me in the right direction. Now I´m a happy camper again!  |

btw: love the new subdivision of the menu into archives and navigation - that makes everything very clear and easy to find.

I had that planned for about three months - took about 10 minutes but never got around to it.
If there are other changes like that I can make to make it more usable (now you're all getting used to the menu on the left) let me know.
In the meantime, I'm working on more enhancements....

| A couple of things I have noted is that the end of the last chapters of a story have been cut off. (I have e-mailed the author to find out the ending of one which she provided) and the other is a search often only loads the first page of the results. Refresh does not help. |

Could you let us know which story?
Originally, we had a limit of 65535 character per chapter. We then increased this to some ridiculously large number.
As part of the update, we accidentally truncated all chapters back down to 65535 characters - and then we restored them all from backups.
But we did notice that some of the earlier stories (by about 5 authors) were chopped off at 65535 characters from the early days, and no-one ever noticed (even though the stories got reviews?!)
So, if it's one of the early stories, nothing we can do as it never would have gone up properly in the first place. If it's a later story then I can check the backup from pre-upgrade - but I did some very rigorous checking to make sure I got them all.

That matches exactly what was in the previous database.
The Epilogue, on the otherhad, appears truncated...

I don't wanna bother Robbie with this if its already been mentioned before - but is anyone else getting updated story emails when the writers haven't added a new chapter? I don't know if they are editing the story and that's triggering the email.

Are you laughing at me?  Or the fact that I didn't send an email to support like I should have?
