The Glowfic Constellation

I don't seem to be able to post to any of my threads in my continuities

[Throne3d]

Seems to be due to being the board author, because I can't do it in Opalescence (which I created) but I can in Zodiac (which I didn't).

[Marri]

Blah. Try now? Sorry!

[pedromvilar]

works!

It's getting to the point where it would definitely be super convenient if I had a better way to look at all of my characters from a particular setting than "go to Characters page, ctrl+f"

~character groups~ I guess, with an autogroup by setting similar to the autotag-by-setting in posts?

[Moriwen]

Could we have a way to dismiss the warnings for a thread we're reading, once we've seen them and been thoroughly warned? It makes me antsy having the little notification permanently demanding my attention.

Bug report. Throne says to make a bug report, I will do so.

Relevant Information:
RoboticLIN has no avatar on constellation.
Character in question has a default icon of a person outline.

Bug:
Post was written. Originally selected was the character as auto-filled-in from last post. Post character switched to the account-only "character". Posted. It showed up as 'RoboticLIN' with the default icon of the person outline.

Editing the post select the null-icon for the character and then swapping back to the account-character displays properly. It seems to not set the icon-field back to null if the account has no avatar.

Did you think of a way to fix Maggie's posts where her friend's computer changed the punctuation?

[Ezra]

I forgot if I'm supposed to be able to upload icons but I haven't gotten one to go through since starting on my new thread.

[Marri]

Hm, the last error email I saw was from Sigma last night, and it was as usual the helpful
"response_status"=>"0",
"response_body"=>"",
"response_text"=>"error",
which has not been great for debugging. But you should be able to. If it continues to fail, I think upload to Imgur > use URL is a common workaround?

Thank you for the bug report, Lin, I will put it on my to do list.

Kappa, I'm planning to eventually turn the Setting text field into the same Setting field posts have, and then you can view a Setting to see both characters from it and posts set in it. Character groups are also on the list, of course, but I am mentally planning them for my own lot for things like "Miller family" and "Kowalski family" and "Marino family", less so "Buffyverse characters".

I have a way to fix Maggie's posts if someone will tell me which post(s) to fix them in, and also need to split a thread into two for Pedro and Throne, just haven't had time.

Because I feel like venting, I:
- am a manager at work and my team WAS two people but as of Tuesday I have a new employee to onboard and also another team is being handed to me so now I'm at my old two, plus a new guy I have to make sure is onboarding properly, plus two people whose entire backlog I have to merge and who kind of resent me because they really liked their old manager and whose reviews I now have to write because their old manager hadn't plus all my old standard amounts of work
- am planning my wedding with my mother, from whom Emma's mother draws some inspiration. I am screamed at if I do not do adequate amounts of work, and I am screamed at if I do work that in any way threatens her control (aka literally all of it) and I am also screamed at if I prioritize literally anything over the wedding, such as "do not call me during meetings at work" or "no I cannot attend a meeting at 3pm on a workday wtf"
- am traveling to Virginia for a week for work and to Alaska for four days for my friend's wedding
- have my fiance's birthday today
- just signed a lease starting in two weeks to move in ~somewhere~ in the three weeks after my wedding
- HELP ME
- working on this site, in theory

And for all my venting I enjoy writing the Constellation and it helps keep me sane, particularly since I don't really get to write code at work anymore, but recently the majority of my free time has been spent going "fuck it I'm playing stupid video games for two hours then going to bed three hours earlier than normal". Soooo yes. I am behind. I apologize, but that might not change for a bit.
