New Features & Debug Help
Hey everyone, need some help here if possible. Have just added some new features. Need people to help me debug them and make sure they are working properly.

1. Print story/chapter to word. On each story you should see a little word icon, which will enable you to print directly to word. (pdf is not possible at this time). Now, it seems the icon was always there, but likely didnt work as the module was never installed. It has now been activated and a quick test has it working for me.

2. Added a story tracker. As close as I can manage for bookmarking your place in stories at the moment. You can access your tracked stories via the browse menu (and the Tracked Stories in the Tis season menu). So far it is in only one skin, Tis The Season (which is serving as my tester skin for experimental stuff). On the right you should see a little option for track/stop track this story, and last read on date. Not really sure if this is working properly, so if people could try it and let me know, if it is working, I can then add it to all the skins, so you should have access to it everywhere.

3. Added a recommendation module which can be accessed via the browse option in the menu. If this proves popular, we can get it in the main menu as well. It will allow recommending off-site fics.

4. Would like to have a member suggested featured section of stories, maybe 5 or so, rotated each month/fortnight/whenever displayed on the front page. Good or bad idea?

5. Contact author is still broken and it looks like it will require a script upgrade and I can't do that just yet until the changeover is complete and have full access to everything. It is on my to-do list though and hopefully will get it fixed soon.

Jacci, thanks for what you've done so far.  I know it's a mess going through all that coding.

WOW Jacci, this is amazing. This new look is great and makes the site even more intriguing. I also wanted to say that a member suggested section is a great idea.  was wondering however how it would work. Would this something we would have to vote on say every Sunday night by seven or as we read a story check a box that says nominate for weekly suggested read?

 Keep up the good work!!

MissCO, thanks!!! As for the member suggested recs, i was figuring, maybe just submitting emails, can put a link in, or perhaps in the forum (which is my next job) or putting a member/s in charge of this area. I am wide open to suggestions if anybody has ideas on how best to manage this.
