Thanks for everything you're doing, Ash! I know nothing about code, but I'll always send good vibes your way!

On a side note, I'm loving this little news banner on top. "Spammers will be banned. Repeat spammers will be fed to angry penguins." I need more hard-hitting news like this, lol!

Thanks so much for the offer! Alas, not a whole lot that I can "outsource" to others.  The past couple weeks have been busy getting the kids settled into a new school year (and a new apartment in one case).  I keep thinking I'll get more time than I actually do, but hey, that's life in general isn't it? :)

An update, though not a very big one.  A reinstall of the files did NOT resolve the overall issue with the new chapters/stories for the fiction archive.  I have a few more ideas to try and hope to get those done this week. Worst case, I'll just reinstall this forum over on my "temporary" site where the archive is actually working and then move the absolutechaos domain to point at that website. But that'll still take time. Thanks all for your patience while I'm working through this!

Thanks for the update!  Sorry the reinstallation didn't work, but I'm glad to hear you have other ideas to try.

Sorry no update on this lately--I managed to get my IP address banned from accessing my site *facepalm* for a lengthy period (likely due to a huge amount of traffic as I was causing by installing/uninstalling, reinstalling, updating, etc. D'oh!!) And my server host was not exactly helpful in getting that resolved. So, now I've finally got access back.  I strongly suspect that I will be moving this forum to the server that already has the archive working rather than continuing to fuss with this server that doesn't seem to like efiction software...and which the hosting support is lacking.

Thank you for the update and for your hard work, Ash! That does sound like a headache. Glad you're well at least!

I hope so too, but it's been a long time since we've heard any updates on the site situation.  In the meantime, I've just been posting on AO3.
