Site Bugs 2 (Page 1 of 14)

I have now received a second notification email and when I clicked on the link, I was told "You do not have permission to access this page."

Why an I getting notifications for threads I don't have access to?

The thread is titled "Publishing Problem".

EDIT: Clicking the "unsubscribe" link, I get this:

"Unable to confirm security token. A likely cause for this is that some time passed between when you first entered the page and when you submitted a form or clicked a link. If that is the case and you would like to continue with your action, please click the Confirm button. Otherwise, you should click the Cancel button to return to where you were."

MORE EDIT: Clicking the "Confirm" button whisks me to the Next Big Writer Premium Forum, Page 1

Thanks for the info, Dagnee.  In this case it might be better to say that the thread has been deleted instead of "denying permission".  Of course, if the thread is gone, then permission to view it would be denied, but not quite so harshly.

A bug I hadn't noticed before is happening. I have a review reply that won't stop notifying me because the author disabled the content I reviewed. The system isn't registering that I've seen the message.

This should be fixed. Let me know if it is still a problem.

I think one is the actual closing remark and the other is a text box where you can edit the closing remark. Is that too confusing? Do you want the ability to add a closing remark after you have submitted it?

I don't know if the is a bug, or an unimplemented future enhancement.  If I go to any of my stories, there are three links at the top-right.  The top two are "Regular Reviews" and "In-line reviews".  They represent themselves as a link, but when I click on them, I'm immediately returned to the very same page.  Shouldn't the links take me to any regular or in-line reviews that may exist for this story?

The tail end of the URL for the link contains ".../0#regular_reviews" but the "0#" will force a stay on the same page.  Is that by design?

EDIT:  (much later).  I have found that this link failure happens only when I am on MY stories and not another author.  I am whisked to their regular and in-line reviews right away, but even if I show I have more than "0" reviews, I can't make the link work.  Could it have to do with it being 'myself' doing the clicking?

I'm going out of my mind with the chapter renumbering mess whose thread I started on Wishlist.

TNBW is moving chapters on me that I haven't touched.

I'm trying to reorder a couple of chapters.  I don't want to simply swap content because I want the existing reviews to go with them.  There are/were previous versions.

Every time I make a change, something else gets changed as well.  An earlier chapter is moved later.  A later chapter is moved earlier.  Previous versions get whole different chapter numbers.

Clearly, the data and transaction model cannot accomodate moving chapters around, and the version model that assumes that previous versions are in the same place as present versions does not match the way things actually work.

Is there -any- solution short of copying everything to a new work, losing both a day and all the accumulated reviews?

Thanks.

No, how long did you wait for the content to appear on the homepage? It can sometimes take 10-15 minutes. By clicking the update publishing selections you are resetting the normal wait period and overriding the process but you don't need to do it. It will eventually appear.

I got busy elsewhere so it had to be around half an hour and it still wasn't posted.  Next time I post, I'll leave things as they are and see if/when it makes it to the top.

Thanks, Sol.

I don't know if this is a site bug, but one of the authors I reviewed from the free group told me they couldn't read or respond to an in-line review.

Please keep us up to date about the versioning/reordering problem.
