What do you think?

We've had the new format for the reviews and stories pages up for a couple of months now and I wanted to hear any feedback you guys have.

I think it's working well for the reviews, not so sure about the stories. What do y'all think?

Wow, don't all speak up at once :/ IMHO I think both sites are great. Reviews are much easier to read and search, and I like that more people are posting them too. Thanks Ruth and Aubrey! As for the stories, I think it's fine too. It's unwieldy to post long stories here on the board, and comments interrupt the flow of the posts. On the blog site, people can comment on the story without disrupting the posts. It's much easier to search for stories and the interface is so much nicer than before. Thanks Lee for taking the time to do all this for us!

BTW there's a new update on "The Best Revenge." If you've been reading any of the stories and enjoying them, please leave a comment. The authors really appreciate it.

I´ve been reading stories in the new format and I´ve reviewed in there too... Now I´m reading Best Revenge but I´m in chapter 9 so... once I´m over, I´m going to post a review of this one.
But... I have a question: I read Nordic´s Tale and I reviewed in here because the tale is here. Should the review be posted in the new format?
I think, like usually, I´m kinda lost! LOL
Thank for the hard work, Lee... you too DG!

I love the new format! I think it works well for both. It's easy to search and find what you're looking for!

I'm having a blast reviewing things and I like that it the stars are directly linked to devo thrill rather than quality of the story, etc. On Amazon I can rate something as far as how good I think it is overall, at PD reviews I can do it according to how devy it is!

[Valkyrja]

ok... I´m having a problem, guys...
I´m trying to post reviews in the new format (I did in the last one... the white forum format) without problems.
But, I can´t do it now... not with my google profile nor with my LiveJournal profile.
Do you know which the problem could be?
Thanks a lot!

Lee I'm sorry I didn't respond. Honestly I don't often go to the stories section so I didn't have any feedback about the changes. I'll have to go check it out now that DG mentioned there is an update on a story I hadn't even known about.

If you want to write reviews, you have to give me a gmail address for you. Then I will give you permission to post reviews. You can either PM me or email me (paradevo@yahoo).

If you want to post stories, it's the same deal. Just give me a gmail address and you'll be given permission to post.

I like both sites too, Lee. I especially love the background on the stories page. 'Tis perfect.

Valkyra pointed out something I hadn't noticed, which is that anonymous commenting was disabled. I changed that so you now can comment on stories or posts without having to log in.

I have just tried to post a comment on a story. It doesn´t work.

I wrote my comment and chose the anonymous option (did write my user name in the commentary window). Clicked "post". Nothing happens .

DeeDee: I just tested it for anonymous comments and it seems to work. I'm not sure what to tell you... you do have to type in the word verification.

Hmm? Where do I do that? I tried posting two comments and nothing happened. Does it only work in Explorer?

[Lee]

I use firefox and it seemed to work.

[Inigo Montoya]

Is that why I'm the only one who's been commenting on the Revenge story?

[Dee Dee]

I am going to send the comments directly to the author instead .
