That is a known issue. Don't worry, in a few hours the story map will fix itself and everything will start to show up correctly.
Over the last couple of days, the reading/formatting settings have broken - specifically, I had my account set to 'inverted' since the black on white is fairly unusable with my eyes. This was fine until two days ago (roughly) - now, however, this appears to be broken. On that setting, various page elements are inverted - the Chyoo logo, horizontal rules, the text colour, etc - but the background colour is now seemingly permanently set to white. I've cleared out my cookies and reset my browser cache, but this hasn't helped - can someone else please confirm whether or nnot inverted works properly for them, and if not take a look into fixing it? Thanks
So, I was browsing through some of the stories and came across a weird bug? Some stories say they have FAR more chapters than they actually have. For example https://chyoa.com/story/a-pirate-s-tale.7058 says it goes "209 chapters deep". But there are only 22 Chapters total. Am I reading it wrong? There's a few that I've seen that show something similar. What's up with that?
This is a known bug that is being looked into. Since it doesn't actually break anything, just looks weird, it is at the low end of the priority spectrum.
Russian language stories failed to migrate in a proper way. Links to threads with Cyrillic names look like - chyoa.com/story/.7872 and give 404 error
Thank you for pointing this out. We appear to be having a unicode issue (Hebrew fails as well). This is now in the bug database as critical.
We believe we have fixed the unicode issue and all stories should now resolve correctly. No data was lost, it was just that the links were not resolving properly due to a parsing issue (unicode vs ASCII). Please let us know if you are still seeing issues.
The Story Map seems to only show the first 4 followup threads. Here is a thread that has 5 folllowup links, but if you look in the Story Map, only 4 are displayed. That fifth thread has been approved.
When reporting bugs, please provide a specific example as a link if possible. It is much easier for us to debug issues when we can look at something we know is having issues instead of having to try to fish through the entire site to see if we can find where something is going wrong.
If you mean "Surprise from Dad", it is there on the story map way way at the bottom, but numbered 5.1 instead of 5.5 for some reason. We will look into this.
I put in a tag in one of the chapters of my story, then published that chapter. I immediately edited the chapter and deleted the tag and saved the changes. The tag was gone from the chapter when I go into the edit menu, but when I looked at the tags for the story in the "about" section that tag is still listed. That tag is not present in any other chapter, so it shouldn't be there any longer. I thought I'd give it some time to update, but that was two weeks ago, and the tag is still listed under the story tags in the about section. Could there be some update error there? Maybe it will add tags, but won't take them away properly? Don't know, but figured it was worth sharing here.
Hi I can't seem to edit any of my threads. I have several that when migrated had the quotation marks replaced by question marks. Today I was attempting to fix some of these but every time I saved a thread it said "Thread saved successfully" but it didn't. the thread still has the question marks. if you can fix this that would be great. thanks
There seems to be an issue with the rich-text editor on some browser/OS combinations. Try to disable the RTE under https://chyoa.com/settings. Can you tell me which browser (+ version) on which operating system you're using? Thanks!
In some of my stories I used the brackets <> to show, if the included words are thoughts. In one story the source turned to and all markdown was disabled till the end of the chapter. I changed the thought-marks to stars (\*), but I think, I could reproduce the error, if needed.
I think this might be Markdown interpreting the <> as the beginning of a HTML element, which would then render as you see. I tried a couple of different things, and I can see that adding a backslash '\' before the closing mark '>' seems to work. The source <here is a thought...\> changes to <here is a thought...> in the rendered page.
