Fixed:

1) Weird date thing, whereby the archive decided that a couple of the stories were posted in 1973 (namely this one and this one, both of which you should now check out because they might have been excluded from date-based searches).
2) Weird category (ratings, etc) things. Or at least I think I got them all, anyway--email me if I missed something.
3) Lack of pairing listing in the search results.

Still weird:

1) Mysterious error two people have reported getting when trying to post a comment on a story ("Name and Comment must be completed" even when they, you know, had been)--if you got one of those, too, please comment here (with your os and browser, if you know them). If you want me to post your comment for you, email me with it directly and I'll duly cut & paste (because comments are love, man *g*).

ETA: a bit of investigating has revealed that these errors seem to be related to illegal characters in the comment itself (like < i > tags, etc - html won't work in that form, unfortunately) and to single line-breaks (hitting return or enter once at the end of a line - twice is okay, because the scripts are set to convert double line-beaks to < br > tags for you).

2) Email addresses displaying in the comments (evidently the archive has spambot-repelling scripts, but I don't know enough about them to confirm they're sufficient protection. [livejournal.com profile] zebra363 suggested they be concealed, just in case, and that does seem wise. I'm working on it.)

Please email or comment here with any other glitch reports. And thanks muchly to all of you who've been reporting so far--I'm new at all this, and your info has been helping immeasurably.

I got one of those error messages, but only when I cut and pasted in my comment. I was able to get it to post when I typed my comment in from scratch (after about four tries). I'm using Windows XP Pro and Firefox (latest version).

I got an error message, but only when I tried to use italics. I use openBSD and the browser is firefox.

Taking out the italics and shortening the comments by a MILE seemed to work

Possible glitch?
