Site Bugs 2 (Page 5 of 14)

I just took a look at Wilma Bailey's -Bees- poem on the mobile interface and the word-turned-into-link problem showed up again, near the end, in the word 'garden'.

I thought I saw them go away a while ago.

Hi Wilma,
Where are you pasting these poems from? This is either something that is pasted from your browser or from the source document. What type of browser are you using?

Sol

WB is not the only victim. Would it be practicable for your pasting software to check for these constructs, flag them out, and warn about them?  (Or should that go over to the wishlist?))

Sol, I uploaded a new story, THE WATCH, in order to find out how many points I need in order to publish it. I was told 5.98 points, which I am well short of. Fine. I left the scene, came back later to see the story at the bottom of my portfolio, unpublished, red circle on the left. Fine. I decided to create my own cover image, and when I did so ----- the story somehow got published. Now there are two stories with the same name on my portfolio, one published, one unpublished. And someone reviewed the published story. How flowing pencil found the story, I don't know, because it doesn't show in the list of new published short stories on my Home screen. Stranger and stranger.

Sol, about the two postings of "The Watch" --  think what I did was accidently post to the Free group when I edited the unpublished story to add a cover picture. Then, I couldn't see it anywhere, so I thought, "Another disappearing posting," and started from square one. Thus, it is there twice. The reason the story doesn't show up in the New Short Story list on my Home page is that I'm not a member of the free group, I think. I'll delete the unpublished one. Later, when I get the points, I'll publish it in the Premium group. I hope you haven't spent time trying to figure this one out.

Good evening, Sol:

When giving an in-line review, I highlight text, release the mouse, and almost always start to type. The GOTCHA is that the focus is NOT in the text box for the review - it is still 'out there, somewhere" on the web page and my browser receives the entered keys. Sometimes it just ignores them, but sometimes it can really mess up a web page or even take me completely OFF the site entirely.

Would it be possible to have the focus shift to the box opened for text?

The worst offender of all the keystrokes I hit while "out of the box" is the Backspace key. That one will cause my browser (Pale Moon) to go 'back a page', which can sometimes be disastrous.

Hi SSol,

I stumbled around learning the site. It was frustrating as any new software will be. Now that I have fallen hard a lot and the blood has dried. I have to say to you are your team, this site is way, way better than the old one. Thanks for a job well done!

Also,
last week I kept getting email telling me I had a request for a new connection. I got about 6 or 7 in a few days. When I check, no new requests were there. Also I aften get two notifications for the the same site message. I don't know if it's me or something gone awry.

Thanks,

Ernie

Sol, this may be a new bug. I reviewed Janet Taylor-Perry's Abyss, chapter two, this evening between 9-10 PM ET. I had numerous problems getting the inline comments to submit. It may just have been a performance issue with the site. However, I discovered that a little impatient duplicate clicking eventually made the inlines submit. I subsequently saw that I had left 55 comments, which is way more than I actually had left.

Google Chrome on Windows 7.

This sounds like a connection issue. I suspect either you had a temporary problem connecting to the site, or the site had a temporary problem connecting to the Internet. Please let me know if the problem persists.

Thanks,
Sol
