Search & Beta Tweaks
Changes
- Beta area and Author searches now display “Join Date” in addition to published stories count. Avatar icons have also increased in size in these two areas.
- Forum/Community searches now include covers.
- Make sure all cover images act as clickable links.
Fixed
- Forum search errors out on certain keywords.
- Tiny font issue for forum/community searches.
- Search result distorting some links.
Tweaks Aplenty
Following are updates to the desktop/regular site.
Changes
- New check-and-remove option added for Alerts and Favorites management to allow faster and multiple removals per action.
- Arial is now the default font replacing Verdana for a tighter layout and improved readability across all platforms. Users can change their story reading mode to ‘Verdana’ mode via the text style toggles.
- Story links now respect the :visited css property to alert users which stories they have already visited.
- Increased font size for those with high-resolution monitors (1400 pixel width and higher). Ultra high-resolution screens have very small pixel size translating to smaller texts and this change should improve readability for these users.
- Slightly darker blue colors for all links to reduce eye-strain for those that stay on the site for hours at a time.
- Darker horizontal rules (separators).
- Cleaner look for the story content/chapters management page.
Fixed
- Image manager pop-up selection out of alignment on some browsers.
- Fixed Alerts and Favorites management for those with monster 10K+ plus entries.
Notes
- Sorting within Alerts/Favorites management will return in a different form in the next scheduled update.
7/10 Update
Updates
- Atom/RSS feed links have changed slightly. Previously they were under the sub-domain of “http://b.domain.com/atom/…” and they are now all under the “www” domain such as “http://www.fictionpress.com/atom/..” or “http://www.fanfiction.net/atom/…”. Other than the domain part, the rest of the feed url stays the same format. Those who have older links need to update or receive 404 errors.
Fixed
- Broken Community sort links when the title of the community contained the word “crossover”. The site mistakenly thought it was a crossover section link and not a community link.
7/8 Status Update 2
We just pushed out a large update which fixes a few bugs and preps the site for upcoming upgrades.
Updates
- Reverted guest review system to previous setup where one can enter a name instead of using the default “Guest” name tag. Please note authors should not trust the name tag from guest reviews since everything in a guest review is from an unverified source.
- Today’s update included tremendous amount of changes under-the-hood and if you see a broken link somewhere, please notify us immediately.
Bugs fixed
- Forum alert un-subscribe links in email alerts.
- Community links in community alerts.
