Not so much a rant as a request

skieblue.livejournal.comI kind of did my ranting yesterday with some comments I posted while signed into the account I use as my writing journal. Today, I'm feeling a little more rational about the situation. I'm sure most people reading this community know about the problem people are having updating stories in some fandoms. Last night, I actually thought it might be starting to work again, as stories were being posted in my fandom, but there is still a smaller percentage than usually being posted, and I can only get to the editing page by using the work around someone found.
So, I would like to request that anyone who is willing help spread the method of working around the problem. (Since waiting for the support staff to fix the site doesn't really accomplish much, as it seems to be taking them forever.) Anyway, the final paragraph of this post is the message that I posted to my ff.net profile. I am sharing it here for anyone that wants to help spread the temporary solution. Anyone who wants is free to use this message, if they don't want to come up with their own. I just want to see this get out to as many people as possible. (Especially since the people maintaining the site never bother to tell the users anything about site problems.) I'm sorry if this isn't allowed, but I did manage to insert a few little parenthetical rants, since I'm still a little angry at the site maintainers.
Important message to anyone have trouble updating stories: As some people reading this may have noticed, it has been impossible to update stories in some fandoms. Someone on Yahoo!Answers has figured out a way to still add new chapters, before this issue is fixed. If you get a type 2 error after clicking on the edit story button, then what you can do is go to the address bar (the place where you type in the address of a website you want to go to), and where it says properties, replace that with content. That will allow you to still be able to post new chapters. Unfortunately, no one has found a way around to problem to allow posting new stories in these fandoms as far as I know. Also, I would like to request that anyone who reads this message do what they can to share it.
