Story Submission Problems

[Pueros]

I note that there still appear to be glitches in posting tales despite the commendable hard work of IEunuch and his colleagues in restoring this invaluable website to full functionality. For example, in my latest story submission, ‘Slaveboy From Moscow 2’, all of the text is in bold underlined lettering, which is not how I presented the narrative.

As such presentation might be off-putting to some readers, I’d like to request that the problem is added to the long list of issues that the over-worked IEunuch and his colleagues are valiantly attempting to rectify.

Many thanks in anticipation,

PUEROS

Sorry for that. I thought I had fixed it before approving. It should be good now. If not, please let me know.

Again, many thanks both for this latest task fulfilled and for all the hard devoted work put into this website by you and your colleagues!

That isn't the only problem. When I submitted my last story just before the story formatting things disappeared from the submission page, the confirmation page showed the story in a san serif proportional font, presumably Arial. When the story showed up in the archives, it was in Courier, a typewriter font that is much harder to read. I've seen a lot of new stories showing up in Courier, and I suspect that many or all of the authors got confirmations that weren't in Courier. Can this be fixed, and if Courier is the default, is there any reason not to change that?

I had trouble with a story I submitted today. The paragraph formatting came out wrong and I could find no way to include links like before. I tried the email link to report it, but that email was returned undelivered.

I submitted a story last night in 12-point Palatino Linotype bold with left margin justification. It appeared in 10-point in a font which I do not recognise with the paragraphs centered and separated by about 2 lines so that it looks like a long poem in free verse.

It seems to me that these formatting problems could be solved by NOT re- formatting the stories but leaving them in the form in which they were submitted.

Please be very kind to IE. He has a big job now. This site is not an easy one to run as I can tell you from experience and personally, there is no one finer to to this job.

Please be kind or risk the wrath of talula

I'm not criticizing -- just reporting. As IE said, "If I don't know about it, I can't fix it."

I tried to report this by email, rather than on the message board, but the link didn't work.
