I'm having trouble with the customization option on CHYOO. When I wrote my last thread I put in {Firstname} and {Lastname} for the character names places and that's exactly what showed up when I went back and entered a name at the start of the story. What did I do wrong?
Try it with lowercase letters. In this case, {firstname} and {lastname}. If it doesn't work, post the link to the thread and I'll take a look.
That seems to have fixed it, thanks. And thanks for the quick reply to my question. For future reference is it always lower case? I thought in the guidelines it said to use uppercase F and L for first and last.
It depends on the story. But in general it is lowercase. If you add a new thread, you see all variables you can use at the bottom of the page (see Customize this thread). Take a look at http://chyoa.com/story/farmer-s-daughter/add/to/48133.
