    Don't know if this is reported before. But on my story "truth or dare in the sauna" The amount of chapters only says 2 While there are much more chapters in my story. It was even at -5 for some time. Maybe a suggestion to just remove that counter untill it's fixed?

    I've updated the statistics of all stories and chapters. It's a known bug but I don't think not showing stats is a better solution. Once the numbers are correct, the counter should stay in sync.

    My story (Monsters of Rimalla) also has the counter bug (reads 26, but my profile says I've posted 60 chapters, and all of them are for that story). I think that for me the problem originates from having written quite a lot of chapters before publishing, and it started from 1 when it was published.

    I've updated the statistics. Thank you for the info regarding the possible cause!

    I haven't seen this bug reported here yet but maybe nobody has tried. In short, I tried doing a bulleted list with two layers (ie, I made a bulleted list and on one of the lines, I tabbed over) but every time I save, it reverts back to just one layer. This is the most recent active chapter this has happened to: https://chyoa.com/chapter/Something-interesting-about-Helen-and-Penelope.664827

    I have another chapter after that one that hasn't been approved yet but it happened there as well.

    Just to be clear - I figured out how to edit it via turning off RTE but it still should work via RTE. After all, it looks just fine when i am editing it, it's only when I save it that it doesn't look right.

    Chapter content gets stored in Markdown syntax. When the RTE is used, the content gets converted into Markdown. Unfortunately, Markdown is not yet defined unambiguously and so the converter doesn't convert everything correctly.

    When you have a plus sign (+) in your search and navigate to the 2nd page of the results, the + gets changed to a whitespace ( ).
    The problem also seems to affect every single link in the "refine search results" section.

    As far as I can tell this is because in the href of the <a> tags, the + is an actual +, which is the symbol for a whitespace in URL syntax.

    I think I understand what you mean. Could you still give me an example (e.g. URL)?

    Just enter anything with a + sign in it into the search bar, for example: "abc + def". On the search results page, the q-parameter of the querystring will be "q=abc+%2B+def", which is correct (%2B is the URL code for a plus sign, + is the URL code for a space). However, all resulting links (the ones on the right, as well as pagination) are a little bit diffrent:
    1. The search text is no longer in the q-parameter of the query string, but in the path ("/search/abc + def" instead of "/search?q=abc+%2B+def")
    2. The search text is exactly the same in the path, meaning there are actual spaces in the path (which is fine), but also that there is an actual + in the path (which gets transformed to a space and therefore isn't fine) ("abc + def" instead of "abc+%2B+def").

    I just found that you have kind of the opposite problem when changing the sorting method. In that case, the search text gets changed to "abc %2B def", while the query string q-parameter gets changed to "abc%20%252B%20def" ("%20" is a space, "%25" is a %).

    This should be related to this bug report.

    Have you tried it without a VPN? Or another VPN? What story is it?

    You're probably on a chapter that no longer exists. You can reset your score with this link: https://chyoa.com/story/Staying-Faithful.23944?game=reset

    Hi, not sure if this is the right place, but for the last couple of months I haven't been able to log into my account. And now that I can login again, everything is wiped. No notifications, favourites, or stories. When I check the chapters I contributed to stories, there is no author listed for them. Is there a way I can fix this?

    I don't know how that should have come about. The most logical thing would be that you logged into another account? What I can say is that we had no data loss.

    I’m confused as to how it could have been another account, because I was using the same username. Would it be possible for me to DM you the chapters I worked on so you can see if my account is related to them?

    Yes, that's a good idea!
