Forum / Technical Difficulties...or just me?

    I have been trying to change the 'privacy' settings (private back to public) on some of my previously posted stories, and have discovered -

    When I click on the title of the story, for about half the stories in my list I get the message "Sorry, this story does not exist anymore."

    However, if I click on the 'edit' button next to the story title, the text appears, but when i change the privacy setting and click "Save Changes" I get the 'story does not exist' message and the story remains in the list still marked (Private).

    Huh?

    Also...
    I have stories I've tried to delete, and although I get the 'story deleted' message, the title remains on the list.

    And...wait for it...

    I've just tried to post a new version of a story I posted previously and when I hit "publish', it posted the old version I DELETED yesterday. I managed to remove it and repost using a modified title, but the old versions are now in my list and won't disappear, no matter how many times I hit 'delete'.

    On a good day, this kind of technical frustration drives me to distraction.

    It's not a good day.

    It can't just be me, can it?

    Anyone else having these problems?

    What's going on?

    Wow, that's weird, is all I can say. I've noticed that I'm no longer getting email notifications of comments, but that's about it.

    Est-ce que ça sonne plus important si je le dire en français?

    "It can't just be me, can it?"

    Si.

    "Est-ce que ça sonne plus important si je le dire en français?"

    Nyet!

    Jokes aside, if the problem isn't widespread, I'd suspect your local machine. Which browser are you using? Is it up to date? Have you tried clearing your cache? Sometimes, browsers just won't let go of their cherished memories. Especially older versions... ;)

    Bonne Chance!

    Still have 7 'private' stories that, when clicked on, I'm told do not exist.

    They do exist.

    I wrote them.

    Can the Fictionaut gremlins please give them back?

    Just thought I'd ask.

    :(

    Sounds perfectly demonic.

    And very appropriate.

    Thanks, Matthew J for the support.
