Topic: Oops!

I made a big mistake in posting chapters for The Telltale Tattoo - I forgot to post a chapter! So when you come to the second-to-last chapter posted so far, please read the last chapter first. The site won't let me change chapter numbers, so Chapter 27 is actually Chapter 26 and Chapter 26 is actually Chapter 27. Sorry about that, peeps. I got all discombobulated by going to the PGA golf tournament last week. At least, that's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it. smile

Re: Oops!

Hey, wait a minute! I have added and dropped chapters before, and changed the chapter numbers to do it. I just went through the edit Basic Info screen. Easy peasy. JP

Re: Oops!

Well, the chapter I just posted isn't up on the site yet. It'll be titled Kang's idea. Again, please read that before reading Negotiations.

Re: Oops!

JP - I didn't want to drop a chapter and then add it again. When you post a chapter, the last chapter posted is given, and the arrow only goes one way. Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't appear to be a way to change chapter numbers to reflect an earlier chapter - like making Chapter 27 Chapter 26.

Re: Oops!

Sorry, I had to check my dogs to make sure they were in the house.

When you are in the Edit Chapter Info screen, you can simply change the chapter numbers by typing in the new number. I changed the higher number first, so I didn't have two chapters with the same number. It worked just fine. The reminder to read Chapter 26 first is still a good idea, for those who have kept up with your output.

LOL!  Or during a solar eclipse.

Re: Oops!

Jack,

Why can't you just edit the chapter content? Delete the content of chapter 26 and then copy and paste in the correct chapter content. Do the same with the other chapter. No need to worry about the numbers just change the content.

Re: Oops!

Too much work, Ann! smile

Re: Oops!

JP - I did change the numbers of the chapters, so Chapter 27 comes before Chapter 26, but they're still out of order.

Re: Oops!

All taken care of now. Changing the numbers put the chapters in proper chronological order. I just had to issue a note in front of Chapter 27 not to read it until having read the new Chapter 26. Whew. Thanks for the help, JP and Ann.

Re: Oops!

No, you guys were just laughing at me.

Re: Oops!

Well, if someone was going to mess with me, you guys would get a pass. But remember, turnabout is fair play. smile

Re: Oops!

Jack--
Glad everything worked out. Did you enjoy the eclipse? Nothing much changed out here. We had a heavy cloud cover, and it just felt like a cloudy day. What a letdown! Keep on keeping on--  JP

Re: Oops!

The skies were clear, but the jerry-rigged viewer I had didn't work. Those with the special glasses had an awesome sight, so I've been told. Me? Just got a little darker for a while. (Big yawn)
