The above link now gives a 404 (good), but also says it's a chapter (bad).

Good point! That wording didn’t make sense for a missing user page. I’ve updated the 404 page to use more appropriate messages for profiles, stories, and chapters. Thank you!

Nice. Checked a few other page types, looks good!

The 'no view count update at 14:00 UTC' bug came back again, on August 22, 24, and 25.

Relatedly, but also far more trivial--For those of us who don't get quite so many likes on our chapters, it's a shame to miss out on the dopamine hit that comes with getting a bunch of notifications when someone does like multiple chapters. I believe the original feedback was complaining more about likes on comments than chapters. Maybe it makes sense to distinguish between the two with this new feature?

When creating a link chapter using the black skin, the box that holds the name of the chapter to be linked to has #f2f2f2 background (due to rule `.ts-wrapper.multi .ts-control > div`) and #f5f5f5 text (due to rule `body[data-rx_background="black"] #content .ts-control .item`), making it nearly impossible to read.

Thanks! This is now fixed. Chapter likes and bookmarks appear separately again and link to the exact chapter.

Thanks for the report. Can you try again? I think I fixed the error here.

It seems to be fixed, thanks!

I am getting quite a few timeout errors from CloudFlare. I think the server is a little unhappy!

Thanks for letting me know. I assume this was just a temporary hiccup with our server provider.
If you continue to see Cloudflare timeout errors, please let me know again and I’ll take a closer look.
Couple issues in game mode writing I have run into:
1) In this formula...
{action "Add Sense" once set game:catseyeroll += (game:sense + game:sensemod) * 2}
Something is stopping it from saving the chapter as long as that * 2 is there. If removed it works fine, or if changed instead to / 2 for division. A workaround is to add equivalent to the multiplication desired, but from my understanding, multiplication should be working.
2) I entered a functional chapter in edit to reorder some inventory variables, moving them from the bottom of a list containing non-inventory variables and inventory variables. When I saved the page, it accepted the change. But for whatever reason, every variable I had moved over seemed to disappear. Going back into edit, there were numerous stop errors that needed to be fixed by re-entering the variables. Thankfully, the effect was evident and it wasn't too much trouble to redefine them, but it seemed like it had potential to be pretty disruptive.
3) It seems like inventory isn't arranging according to the order I've defined these new variables. See attached pictures. I'm not sure what's determining the order in this case.

I've been having an issue with game state changes disappearing from a chapter. Like I'll enter 10 game state changes, save & close without problem, and then later I'll go back in to that chapter and 2 or 3 are completely missing and have to be re-entered. It doesn't happen often, but it has happened 3 or 4 times in the last couple weeks, no pattern that I've been able to notice. The variables themselves don't seem to be affected, and when I re-enter the game state changes it usually keeps them. I don't know if it's just because my new game [Coming Soon!] has so many game state changes that I'm overloading the system?

Thanks for the detailed report and screenshots. I found a bug where moving or removing Game State change rows could clear their selected operations, causing changes to disappear when saving. This is now fixed and live, with an additional safeguard to prevent incomplete changes from being silently dropped.
Multiplication is supported, and your exact formula passed my chapter-save tests. If it still fails for you, please send the affected chapter link and any error message so I can investigate the full context.
Inventory follows the order of the variable definitions in the story editor. The order of changes in a chapter controls when those changes happen. To display Headgear, Upper Body, then Lower Body, arrange their definitions in that order in the story editor.
I also fixed the false “variable already exists” warning when entering a new variable’s name before selecting its type.

Thanks for reporting this. Ten Game State changes should be fine. I found an editor bug where moving or removing rows could cause some changes to be silently omitted when saving. That could explain what you’ve been seeing, although I can’t confirm it accounts for every occurrence.
The fix is now live. I also added a safeguard that rejects an incomplete save while keeping the changes available for correction. Please let me know if it happens again, ideally with the affected chapter link.
The tricky part is that (like I gather many game story makers are doing) I have defined the variables in the chapters in which they first appear instead of all at the front. When doing so, the game variables do not show in the main "Edit Story" view, so I'm not able to rearrange them there. Is there a workaround?
Also, thanks for addressing all the other stuff!
