    @ alltimelowgirl.
    How long was your comment? There's a two hundred character minimum.

    Is there a place that says how many characters you have used?
    I usually type the comment in Microsoft Word and use the word count to see how many characters I've got. Dunno what writing program you use but there's probably something like that you can do it with :)

    Oh, one thing I forgot to ask. Do you receive a notification that your story has been commented on? Like an alert or something? I haven't yet received a story comment since New Mibba came in so I wasn't completely sure about that.

    And is it just me or is the Preview function not working for anyone else? I tried to preview the comment I was about to leave and it wouldn't do anything so I just gave up and clicked Submit.

    Yeah you get an alert when your story has been commented on. :)

    The preview shows up underneath the comment box, so it's possible you may have missed it.

    What happens if you can't read a story, Dujo? Like the layout is too hard to read? 'Cause the current story it's asking me to read has a layout that's making it impossible to decipher any coherent words.

    If you click the "custom layout" button on the top right corner of the story's screen, it'll change to Mibba's default layout, which is easy to read.

    Okay, so, Audrey, I tried doing what you said, but nothing happened. Is this a glitch?

    Also, here's the story. Should I maybe report it for having a layout that's hard to read? Because I'm pretty sure that was part of the rules on the Old Mibba.

    * Remember not to link to other people's work on the forums. (edited the link out of your post.)

    If you go to the next chapter, in that story, the words are underneath the image, so there shouldn't be a problem with reading it.

    Though, the custom/default layout switch should be working (just tried it in that story and it worked). What browser are you using?

    [Edit]Are you using IE? I tried it there and it's not working, but it works fine in Chrome.

    Uh... I have no idea. The Internet browser? XD Seriously, I have no idea when it comes to computers, and my mom (who's the computer geek of our family) isn't home right this second...

    Umm... I think I keep getting asked if I want Windows 8 or something like that. Or do you mean homepage?

    Oh, and thank you for telling me about the no-linking-thing. I seriously had no idea.

    This is a good idea. Unfortunately because I like reading fan fiction the only two stories I've been given to read are One Direction fics. I'd rather shoot myself in the eye than read One Direction fan fic lol

    Hopefully in the next run-around there'll be some more options such as selecting tags, story length etc.

    Your browser is what you use to get to the internet – Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc. What's the icon on your start bar look like? (This is what I'm talking about if you have Windows Vista; if you're using Windows 7, it'll be just an icon, like this.)

    Windows 7 is your operating system – what's your browser? (If it's an "e" with a yellow loop around it like here, your browser is Internet Explorer, or IE for short.)
