| Would it be possible for members to have signature lines that would be added to the end of each message? |

It's in the works already, guys. But since I wanted some nookie from my husband, who unfortunately happens to also be the programming guy who thinks Sean Bean's nose is too big, that meant he didn't get around to finish that little added function for you all.
And no, I don't feel ashamed or guilty in the least for taking him away from his job. Nawtta bit.
do. |

You're very welcome. I knew you all wanted to know that.
do.
P.S. And Scribe, stay away from Karl! You already have Orlando stashed somewhere... I know that much. |

OK, to save a bit of time, the following is currently on the to-do list:
Correctly handle the login so it forwards you to where you came from.
Link the smilies so they are the same across the two forum and the archive
Nookie
Correct the small header that pops up in some windows
Show on front page the maximum number of users on-line
Correct story of the day feature on front page
Show number of messages you have waiting on front page
Show if there are new postings in the forum on the front page
More Nookie
Add signatures for messages
Allow you to stop the pop-up box when you have a new message
And eventually, a long, long way down the track, to allow different colour schemes (the code is now working, just need to design them)
Nookie, Nookie, Nookie, Nookie, Nookie, Nookie, Nookie, Nookie (count 'em) 
Oh, and we're going to ban avatars hosted on Tripod too

| Now that the lists are alphabetized by title, we need a quick way to know when stories have been updated, so we don't have to jump around checking on our faves. How about a little box somewhere that displays new chapters added each day or something like that? |

Ok, in the top menu, there is an "All Stories" section. In that page, there are several more choices:
- Latest additions. This is the latest BRAND new stories. Each story will only appear at the top of this list once. We haven't had any posts for a couple of days....?
- Latest edits. This could very well be what you are after  . If an author adds a chapter, then that story gets bumped to the top. Check here for all the tweaks of your favourites.
- Then a few "most popular" style categories as descibed in one of the other forums... Check here for more details
If I've misunderstood your request, let me know.

I should add that there is a third "date" we also keep track of - the date a story has any minor little tweaks done to it, such as spelling corrections. You cannot sort by this date.
This is on purpose:
a) it gets confusing having two "edited" dates
b) we hope that, by the time a chapter hits this archive, it has already been "beta" read and is near perfect. Any changes to the story will only be minor and should not require you to reread the story.
Hope that explains it all.

Hey - just to make sure, you're really, really happy (I forgot I added this).
When you browse the categories, stories are sorted by Title by default as you indicated. There is a little menu at the top so you can resort by date edited (and a few other options  )
C'mon, that's got to have answered the request

Oh, I hate to add to that impressive to-do list. So if you wish, just skip over my little note here.
I'd kind of like a humor section. Or at least a way to locate other humor fics. Or are my fics the only humor fics on the site? If the latter, then please don't worry about it.
I know some folks who write absolutely hysterical Silmarillion humor (i.e., the Sillymarillion people) and I wanted to invite them aboard.
Oh! And THANK you for all your hard work. You deserve all the nookie you can wrangle. |

Robbie -
Yes, that was exactly why I was asking for and you have made me very, very happy! Your wife is a very lucky woman! And as for Sean Bean's nose...you know what they say about the size of a man's nose!!! |

Please, don't get him started... he believes it's all about feet - not noses.
Viv, regarding this humour category, Scribe and I are discussing it. In the meantime, if you want to easily find that kind of story in the archive, go to the Search page. There you can search fics by type. Just select 'humour' and you'll get a list.
Hope this helps.
do. (with no sig. I guess the wife's perks have to stop somewhere) |

OK, by order of wifey.com, the search page has been severley revamped and improved. It's got more options than our dishwasher - hard to test so if anything is wrong with it, let me know. You can search the fics or search the forums, with different options.
(Note - I've started adding the code for searching by rating, but need to make some wide changes first, so can't release this yet.)
Tomorrow night, you might get sigs.

You are very dilligent, dear Rob "the one who thinks ...."! Anyway, no nookie postponing. As a married woman myself I know how very important that is ... shall tell my hubby of your fine example!
Ooops I guess that one was kind of other topic!
Thanks for fixing the rating system probs!
