your current method only works if they're linking to a different subdomain that you're logged in as, so accidents can still happen. Until there's a better option, you could use a different browser or a private browser tab for clicking links that might be deep in a thread?

I continue to vote for making glowfic.com the default, it's 2017, all the cool kids are doing the no-www thing, get with the times yo :P

Edit
Request: that aliases be reorderable like galleries.

Incognito mode is a good idea, thanks for suggesting that.

Idea (not a feature request, just an idea): "go to a random thread", for when you can't decide what to (re)read.

You would get to specify either only fully-read threads (old thing!) or only unopened threads (new thing!).

Maybe avoid jumping into the middle of a continuity, maybe not.

I'd strongly prefer to avoid jumping into the middle of at least a subcontinuity.

Weird WYSIWYG failure in the text editor. (Images: text input, with desired appearance; the way it actually shows up in a post; and the HTML.)

I don't know how much control you have over it, and it's definitely a weird use case, so don't, like, stress over it; just reporting.

I have probably little to none; for your specific case, I recommend using HTML mode to move the ? outside the <span> tags if you haven't already.

Is it supposed to go on the right or the left in Hebrew? I assume the left, in which case it could just be we're not allowing the lang and dir attributes through, but if on the right… well first I'm confused because Hebrew and second no I don't think we can do anything about it.

(Deep link to 'with ceaseless turmoil seething') This is where it happens, right? I'm assuming you didn't manually remove the dir="ltr" and lang="hb" from the span, but the page renders without them – presumably we haven't whitelisted them and so they're being stripped out; I think we should allow those attributes through and that should fix the problem.

Edit: I am honestly having real trouble trying to put the "?" in the right place so that I can actually test if this will fix it (put it at the left of the text! wait did I put it literally before the RTL text started or at the end of the RTL text? put it at the right! … same problem. highlight it to see if I did it right! oh wait now it highlights in weird awkward chunks because RTL mixed with LTR). I think this will fix it but I don't think I can test it thoroughly.

I think I may have said this before, but I wish that threads had a "what came before" link. This would be only for posts which do not already have a previous post in the continuity, and it would be able to be an arbitrary other post (or just any old URL?) — often but not necessarily some "introducing this character" kind of post. For example, the very beginning of Silmaril would be linked to Loki's Effulgence introduction, because she's forked-into-a-different-continuity from there. It would be very useful for context for all the “this character at this moment got dropped in a Milliways sandbox” threads.

It could also be such that you could follow the link the other way, finding the branches-off. AO3 has a "work X is 'inspired by' work Y" feature which does that.

I've considered doing some kind of dependency tree but it's pretty daunting.
