Drusilla,
Great idea - I was one of the newbies you "counseled" and I'm appreciative. It is a bit intimidating at first for a newbie, in front of the vastly more experienced masses.

Maybe would could have newbi mentors. Not trainers per say, just people who are good at helping new people feel more comfortable in this new enviroment.
Hello Torq
first off....the site looks great.....good job
the question if have is about the edit and report "buttons" being so close together in the Visitor Messages area..........is there any way to put them at opposite sides of the screen???.......
thanks

The story submission and updating systems should be altered to allow the updating of story codes and the summary. By my understanding, it is necessary to reupload every single chapter in order to add or delete story codes, and this has lead to significant problems with some of my stories.
That sounds a good idea to me- I'm concerned about how many new people post in Personals before they get any info. Perhaps there's a way to 'encourage' them to read some relevant info before making a thread.Quote:

I'm always concerned that new people are being preyed on by sleazes, burned badly & leaving the lifestyle for good. Sure it's always going to happen, but it'd be nice to do something to help.
Similar in scope to this idea, and one I've been thinking a bit about as I continue working on my stories, its quite possible (perhaps even likely) that different chapters or sections of a longer story might require different story codes. For example, one could have a light playful scene in one chapter and a darker more serious scene in a different chapter. (If its in the same chapter, there is no problem with choosing multiple story codes to reflect that for that chapter if there is more than one level of scening going on within that story.)Quote:

FYI To answer the questions,, Story codes are for the entire story, not individual chapters. Once story/codes are input they remain in order to change the 'story' would need to be re-posted.
Thanks

Yes, I know they are for the entire story, not for individual chapters. However, there is the section that says:
"The following fields are optional:
(please do NOT fill the form below unless you want to update the information)"
and lists sections for a new summary and new set of story codes. Is this information just trashed when it is submitted? Is there really no way at all for the admins to update either without having to re-upload the entire story?
My goodness! The more i read the more i understand the kind of work that must go into putting together the site that we all enjoy so much. Thank You, T & T and staff, not only for all the work You do but for allowing input from us as You go. What a monumental task it must be to change things like colors, buttons, and wording at our request just to improve the site small bits, to our liking. It takes a dedicated team of people who are invested in their project to do so. My best to You, Your staff, and any sanity that this girl and her friends may have left You with!
First let me say "dito" to what neitsyst2 posted above. Thank you all very much.
Then i have a suggestion: It would be kewl when members profiles had a link to all that member's stories (in case she/he submitted any) or a note saying that he/she didn't.
And if that feature already exists i'm sorry, i looked hard but didn't see it.
