Surely not a practical solution. Not even on a keyboard as there seems to be no way to type it with ALT+numbers.
NECRO! What makes lack of indenting the most frustrating is that it works in the editor, but disappears when you save.
I mean, I feel like I have to go with writers block lol But if we are talking about site functionality... I ran into "No spam allowed" a lot more then I care for. And everytime I have no clue what in that message would have counted as spam.
I've encountered them when posting pictures on comment sections, trying to ask OPs to give their stories a picture, or a better picture. From what I've noticed, most URLs that aren't related to CHYOA, is considered spam.
It's not even urls for me, this shit just pops up whenever, and it's not like it shows you the offending part A particular frustrating experience was when I had to send a huge message piece by piece because there was just no telling what triggered it
Could be as simple as missing a space.It has also happened quite a few times in chapters, so the users ended up with a link: Code: space.it
It's usually ellipses ( ... ). It's a real pain in the ass, and I have no idea why the site associates it with spam, but if you delete them, messages magically work again.
In all honesty? This is the least frustrating interface, least rich-get-richer algorithm, and least toxic online community I have ever had the privilege to be a part of.
After a few hundred chapters, it's difficult to search and navigate your own contributions; difficult to search chapters by tag. So it can be hard to review my contributions to stories where I'm not an editor.
Oh. You know what? Can I change my answer to "lost work?" I haven't lost my own work yet, but I keep hearing horror stories about people repeatedly losing 2000 words at a time, and just the fact that it could happen makes me anticipate future frustration.
I'm still overjoyed at "Save as Draft" since the bane of original Chyoo, pre-Chyoa, was that if you submitted a chapter with your login expired, it would just disappear. Back then I would always compose chapters in an external document.
The incremental story map makes it hard for me to locate chapters by text-searching within page for a large story. I'd prefer one that was less interactive and more complete, especially if it could be cached either on server or browser side.
Whoops. Thanks for the assist, gene. (I fixed the link, just in case someone clicks on it in the future.)
