Yeah I see the problem, I'll have a think about how I can resolve it. Currently the system bumps stories that have been edited so that if you add a new chapter it will be drawn to peoples attention. However for minor updates I can see this is misleading. Any suggestions?

Thanks for taking the trouble to go into so much detail. This is greatly appreciated.

I agree there are still some problems with the main navigation and I will be taking steps to improve this. The main difficulty has been trying to find a solution that works equally well on mobile devices as it does on PCs, however I have plans to greatly simplify the navigation which should help.

I removed the right hand column for the same reason. If you decrease the width of your browser, you'll notice the page is responsive making it easy to view on mobile. Having a right hand column doesn't work well on small devices.

I've taken on board your ideas about the shouts and feeds and have already done some work on this. If you go to someone's profile and click on their 'activity' tab you'll see a feed of all their website activity. I intend to bring this onto the profiles page as you suggest in the near future.

Thanks again for your ideas. One more thing, if you could upload a screen shot showing the problem of the oversized pics on Windows 8 or 10 this would be great

Thanks lc2 that does help cos I've not been able to test ion Windows 8 or 10. What type of device are you using?

I'm aiming to make this website as great as it can be so please be more specific as to exactly why you don't like it and how it could be improved.

For instance, what is it that you find too large (ie the text? The buttons? The images? Or something else?). In the same way, what in particular do you find frustrating and un-user friendly about the site?

One final thing, which type of device, operating system and browser are you using?

The fact that a story is copied is not necessarily an issue unless it was done by someone other than the author, and the author objects. If you're worried that this may be the case then rather than posting here, it's better to contact the author to let them know. Then they can decide whether to take action or not.

You're totally right, I hadn't thought of this. I'll make a note and see what I can do to improve this.

I've contacted Chubby Teen to let her know.

If your a story author and find yourself in a similar situation then you may wish to contact the person who copied your work and ask for your self to be credited as the author, perhaps with a link to your profile on this site or elsewhere.

Alternatively if you wish to protect your copyright the best thing to do is contact the website owners (in this case Deviant Art) and ask them to remove the content.

Most website owners will readily remove copyrighted content without question. In the unlikely case they refuse the next step would be to make a complaint to their Internet Service Provider (or at least threaten to do so which should be enough). You can find out their ISP by looking them up on such sites as whois.com.

Hope you manage to find her again. I also have some people that have gone out of my life that I wish I'd stayed in touch with.
