Not sure if this is where to post, but...

For some reason when I was on the archives just a few minutes ago, looking for another story to read, I noticed that it's all kind of scrambled. The sort by titles function seems okay, but the author's lists are all over the place kind of... Anybody else have this problem? Is it a quick glitch? Or is it a my-end kind of problem?

help

It's not just you, Mouse. The author's names are scrambled in amongst the story titles. Although refreshing the page seemed to improve it.

I was asleep, so this is the first I'm hearing of it and I'm not seeing an obvious problem. So it's either been some kind of temporary glitch that's fixed itself since you guys posted or I'm missing something.

If you're still seeing an issue can you point me to an example and I'll get right on it?

I checked my stories because I know what should be there.

Between Time to Love 3 and Time to Love 4, there are four stories belonging to someone else, but no author's name. Then, my final three stories are listed.

The top of the Authors-F page looks scrambled - two story titles, but no authors. Then two authors are listed. I can't say for sure, but I think all the information is there, it's just jumbled.

I've refreshed a few times, but I continue to see problems.

Okay, just checked those pages and they look fine, so seems it may be fixed. Are they okay for you now?

So I went to check the archives again, and it's still a little mixed up. I checked my story list, and it kind of seemed okay except for one or two mixed in. I checked Yvonne Connell's story list (cuz I know hers as well as mine wink ) and it was mixed up too. It seems to scramble a bit whenever I refresh, but still not quite right. huh

Very strange ...

It still looks wrong to me. There are four stories 'The Christmas Song,' 'The Naked Truth,' 'Sweet Dreams', and 'A Thousand Little Deaths' listed in the middle of my stories.

However, every time I refresh the page, the problems are in a different place. After refreshing about ten times, my stories appeared correctly, but other authors and their stories were jumbled.

I tried other author pages and encountered the same problem - bunches of stories with no listed author. Refreshing changed the problem to a different place on the page, but didn't fix it completely.

I closed down the tab and entered again - same problem. 'After the Fact' was listed with my stories. After one refresh, it's back down with the rest of Alison Forbes' stories. But the four stories mentioned above are listed under my name. confused confused confused

OK - problem possibly solved.

I was using Google Chrome when I was having problems. I opened Internet Explorer, and everything appears just fine.

Maybe it was a Chrome problem, not a site problem.

Huh. That is strange, Corrina. It works the same way for me. IE is showing it all correctly, but Chrome (my default browser) is still all jumbled up. I'm very confused now... anybody wanna test another browser? confused

Yup, seems to be a Chrome issue. I usually use Dolphin as a browser and with that eveything looks fine. When I tried Chrome just now though, I can see similar issues to the ones you've been experiencing.

I'll contact Lauren and see if she can do anything or shed any light on the problem.

FireFox seems to work fine.
