  • More design updates by Kevin
    After some thought, we're now trying another alternative to the way backgrounds were changed several weeks ago. On larger monitors, we'd made it so backgrounds with a left edge repeated again on the right page of the screen. Now they are only on the left side again.

    The background editor has been simplified too for left-edge backgrounds, as no edge color is required. Happy story writing!

  • How to Receive Those Comments! by Barbara

  • Storywrite updates! by Kevin
    Last week we had some exciting changes: New (similar) logo, pretty background header, lots of fixes. Cost of contests went up for awhile to 200, but is now back to 100 due to problems with current contests. Chat has had many updates and now notifies you when you have a new message. Drafts, with autosaving, to help prevent losing data. We've updated how backgrounds work too. Enjoy!

  • Chatbox Fix for Internet Explorer by yoshi97
    ONLY use this fix if you need to fix the chatbox in Internet Explorer and you DO NOT use Firefox to browse the internet.

    This fix WILL DEFINITELY disable flash in Firefox.
  • Firefox fix for the chatterbox by yoshi97
    This fix has been tested by myself and resolved my Chatbox issue. It might not work for all, but atleast it's a possible solution.

    I'm not certain this fix works for Internet Explorer. I'm still checking on that.

    As for what causes the issue, it's upgrading to Adobe Flash 9. This means you're stuck with version 8 until they resolve the issue. Sorry.
