AO3 coding notes

There's just one more bug I wish I could fix for our next deploy, but I can't fix it because I can't reproduce it locally. Which is driving me NUTS. It's the problem with single chapter works appearing as 1/? when you post them; it happens consistently on our test deployment and not at all on my local machine, even when posting from the same browser with the exact same data. The code is the same, the data is the same, the html source is the same - something must be different, but I can't figure out what.

It also only happens when you're posting something new, which is good in that it means you can fix it by editing, but further adds to my confusion, because it's the same form. Hmph.


Currently at about 64 revisions since the last update to the archive.


  • Fix for Dreamwidth importing

  • Fix for stories getting cut off at em dashes (may not work for all imported stories - encoding issues, sigh - but should work for everything pasted into the form)

  • Fix for chapter and tag information not being properly displayed on preview and/or not being discarded when you cancel your edits

  • Fix for font size in center tags

  • Fix for inability to reassign invitations

  • Fix for general wonkiness of work form in Chrome and Safari

  • Fix for broken tag links involving slashes, periods and/or ampersands

  • Fix for stories being imported without dates

  • Fix for need to click button twice to post a comment

  • Fix for first login and password reset reminders not going away

  • Improved toggling of pretty much everything on the work form

  • Better handling of invalid tag errors

  • Including filter items that only apply to one story

  • Some love for tag wranglers: increased readability on various pages, better clearing out of zombie tags that aren't attached to anything

  • Some love for admins: making it easier to track down lost invitations

  • Added automatic responses when you submit a support request



Not that bad for a week's work, and hopefully we can get those out as soon as is practical, testing-wise.
