    I am starting new feedback and bug report threads for the new site now that we are live. They are both under site feedback. Please direct your comments on the site design and any issues you find to those threads. This way we can separate out the types of messages so they don't get lost in a single overloaded thread.

    Thank you, Friedman!

    I will forget about it later but it may be a small bug (I don't know if it'll be adjusted after setup) - {shortcuts} do not work in the comments. I apologize if it's a false alarm.

    The CHYOA 2 looks amazing. And the notification system - Just Wow! I just hope it will process all older events as well.

    I suppose I should go see a doctor about this boner I've had for the last 6 hours, right?

    Friedman, the new site layout is fantastic! The notification system is spot on. Absolutely love being able to see more than just "Story X was updated." Nothing like being able to go straight to the new thread, instead of having to scroll through the story map trying to find the new one!

    Also loving the messaging system. It's so much easier to collaborate with other authors or just offer feedback than before.

    I'm rating this update 11/10, would wait again.

    Looks nice, although I'm not sure if the conditionals stuff has been implemented or not. Maybe start a new story?

    How do you add a cover image?

    Edit the story you want to add the cover image, and just hover your cursor over the book image.

    Sorry I don't know if this has already been covered or not but the view count on my main story doesn't appear to be changing, I'm receiving notifications giving me the indication that people have read some chapters and liked / favorite or bookmarked those chapters but still no change.

    I was hoping to get a gauge on how the new additions were shaping up?

    Can we please get Favorites back on the dashboard? I'm not a fan of individual chapter bookmarks in comparison.

    Don't you think that it would be a good idea to add an option in search filters to search for stories that have some customization options (preferably more than the main hero's name).

    The view count should be updated now.

    Good to know: The new CHYOA updates the view count hourly (instead of every 6 hours as it was on the old site).

    Idea for next major update!

    Have you thought of making a program that would allow users to download the stories for offline reading.

    And have an option for members to add chapters to the stories they are the owner or an approved editor of?

    Paid member tier? Download as e-reader format? (Game mode not supported).

    Any chance we can get a forum link on the topbar? Might make navigating between a story and a discussion thread a bit easier.

    A suggestion for adding two options in 'View Story Map'.
    One to mark single thread as 'unread' the other to mark all threads as 'unread'.
