We do not support dash or other character based section/scene markers. If you wish to create a separation in your chapter, please use the officially supported horizontal line feature in our document editor or in your favorite word program. Using unsupported section markers will only make your entries less compatible to future upgrades. You can ( Read more... )

Oh no! I should go look as I loathe using the 'official' breaks. They have a tendency to not work properly. *headdesk* Why oh why do they make life more difficult?

I know! Ugh. They've started putting all these fancy document transfer and beta bits and pieces on... and while the beta thing is probably a good idea I don't see the point of half of the other stuff. *sigh* Why mess with something if it isn't broken?

All mine are screwed up as well. Gah! I agree with you, if it isn't broken then don't go messing with it. It is going to be so much fun getting my stuff posted on the comm now...I feel a migraine coming on just contemplating it.

Idiots. I use "-" too, lately a couple of them. That line is horrible, I only really use it at the end if I have notes, I've found it bunches stuff up under it.

Yet another reason to dislike that place.

I don't understand why they've done it. I mean, surely it's just like any other line of text? I don't see them randomly deleting those - although a friend of mine said that occasionally her uploads would show all the stuff that she had edited out as well as the new version. Which is just odd if you ask me.

The admin there rarely do things that I disagree with (mostly its the other users that piss me off) but this time... *sigh*

Meh, I'm just irritated that there isn't an 'Astoria' option in the drop down boxes. They have random characters I have never heard of but they don't have Astoria. Hell, they even have Grawp.

They don't have Rose, but they have pretty much every kid. They seperated Fred & George a while back which is great! But I had to go through, and edit every twin/Hermione fic/drabble and fix up the pairing because they automatically became Hermione/George. Still missed some though.

No Rose? That's even odder than no Astoria.

Hmm... I wonder whether there is a way to make suggestions. Lol.

I always thought it was a bit odd that they had Fred and George boxed together in the first place. Unless you were writing gen fic about them it was practically screaming twincest.
