I thought it would be a lark to close it for a spell. Oh look! It's open again.

I thought that this thread should be brought to your attention.

I'm having trouble getting the quick reply to work. Also, I am having trouble with the post editer, specifically the font/size/color section.

I use Firefox 1.0.1, if that helps.

Update firefox. For quick reply: click one of the icons that says "QR" (the icon itself looks like a DHD).

I use the QR all the time, but the button isn't working. Like I said, most of the buttons in the post editor aren't working. It started having problems just today.

Edit: It seems to have started working again, still don't know what the problem was.

Problem: I was trying to create a thread in the Doctor Who section. My post was a couple sentences long but I kept getting an error message saying that my message was to short and that I should enter at least one character.

I have been noticing over the last week that my instant notification emails (subscription to threads) are not being sent instantly, and sometimes not at all. I re-subscribed in case there was some kind of weird error, but it is still not sending emails instantly.

I'm getting this too. Also, in addition to this strange error message, I tried to post something 3 times now and have finally given up.

I always like to preview my posts before submitting. From the "preview" page, I would push the submit button but to no avail. After 3 times, I have given up. I don't feel comfortable pushing "submit" before "preview".

I just realized that's exactly what I have to do in order to ask this question. Oh, the horror.... here goes.... aaaauuauauauagg!

OK - i know members aren't supposed to answer questions, but i know part of this one...

After pressing preview, don't press the first (isolated) submit button you see (it doesn't work. ever). Instead, scroll down to below that button, and below the text editor, and hit 'submit reply' next to the preview post button. That way you can both preview it, edit it if necessary, and then preview it again, as required.

this all sounds like a darren or greg question. if there's a browser issue, they know how to fix it

sorry, wish i could be more helpful

Hey guys!

I was wondering, can a mod put up a poll in fanfiction that basically says this:

Which type of fan fiction do you prefer?

Options:

Prose
Script
Other
Doesn't Matter

Just in case you guys don't know (hey, there could be some), prose is like a book, and script is like...well, a script.

Pretty please?

[kiwigater]

Would you a new thread created around the poll, or the poll inserted into an existing thread?
