Glad it’s working again! I wasn’t aware of the disruption in advance either. This wasn’t planned maintenance on CHYOA’s side. There were provider maintenance notices, but I can’t confirm whether they were related.

The servers are running, but I’ve traced the slow loading and failed refreshes to a network issue between our server and Cloudflare.

Hi! I’ve checked your Xiphium account and removed the block. It may have been caught by our older automatic spam filter, which checked email addresses against StopForumSpam. You should now be able to sign in as Xiphium and open General Settings to change your email address or choose Account...

Thanks for pointing this out! There’s now a “Last” button next to multi-page threads on mobile, so you can jump straight to the last page again.

That’s not how it was meant to work. I found two issues: dismissing the reminder hid it immediately, but saving your choice could fail silently if your session expired or your connection dropped. Other open tabs could also keep showing it. I’ve changed this so open tabs pick up the dismissal...

Yeah, it's taking quite a while to get everything set up. I also paused for a few weeks in between, since I always have to wait for a backup to finish, and I tend to move on to other things in the meantime. I'm also experimenting a bit with keeping the site running smoothly during the backup...

I'll see what I can do to improve the spam filter overall and reduce these false positives.

Could you send me the comment, either here or via DM, so that I can improve the filter?

I'm currently making changes to our backup processes. As a result, there may be delays in view counts during these backup phases. This should only be temporary, however. Lasting until I have fully transitioned to the new backup system.

Awesome, glad to hear that. :)

I improved the design. I think now it looks way better. What do you think?

Hey, thanks for your feedback. This was mainly done because I had to upgrade PHP due to the security vulnerabilities, and I had to upgrade the forum software. I fully agree that this needs to be improved. :)

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve moved Favorite Stories and Bookmarks right below your profile details in the menu, so they’re easier to find without adding more icons to the mobile header. You can now jump directly to any page on mobile by tapping the current page indicator and choosing a page...

I'm currently running a full backup of CHYOA, which is causing delays in view counter updates. Views are still being recorded, but the displayed counts aren't updating as usual. They should catch up once the backup is finished. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

Thanks for reporting this, and for the screenshot! I’ve fixed it. Let me know if you still run into any trouble!
