Thanks to Deb Mc for referring me here.

Hoping to break into the YA Fantasy genre this year.
Would love to find some online courses/resources on improving craft/plotting/etc.
Any recommendations are welcome and much appreciated!

Thanks,
Gloria

Hi, Leslie,
When I click on the new chatroom (I think it was the watercooler), I can see the previous message(s). Will there be private chatrooms again, and is there a way to clear the info before exiting? Some of the instructors who host chats as part of the workshop won't want their posted lesson or feedback to class questions up indefinitely.

Thank you very much--LOVE THE NEW SITE LOOK AND LAYOUT!!!

The Scene Sculpting forum is not accepting threads or posting replies. Please help.

Just taking a moment to thank the Gods of All Things Writing for the divine Angela Knight and her class "From Mild to Wild...Sex Scenes" that wrapped Feb. 14. Loved Angela's blunt, funny method of presentation. Why couldn't my college professors have been like her? Why didn't this sort of course present itself 30 years ago? Maybe I was looking in all the wrong places.

So glad I found Savvy Authors. Struck gold in them there Savvy hills.

Hi,

I could have sworn there was a Back Story class beginning on Jan. 25. I was trying to sign up for it and now I can't find it anywhere.

Did I dream that? Any assistance welcomed.

Thanks,

Hi all,
Over the next few weeks you will be seeing some new features and options here at SavvyAuthors! I'll post here when a new feature is rolled out. The first of these is some changes to the editor to make it simpler for you to copy and paste both text and images, and keep some of the formatting from MS Word (and other editors).

What you should be able to keep is the following:
Font size and weight (bold, italics etc)
font color
paragraph alignment
lists (both bullets and numbers)

You can also drag and drop images into the editor window..and choose to display them inline as either thumbnails or full images..... and you can copy and paste images as well.

Note: these features are disabled for phones and tablets. It's a bit heavy for the other bitty screens. Also, the editor 'keeps' in memory what you entered in a window for 20 seconds even after you close the window and will automatically reload what you just typed..then closed..when you open a new window.

Hope this all makes it more fun and easier to post. Please do let me know if you see issues.

Thanks!
Leslie

I understand your qualms. Although I've taken several classes here, the forums & threads still throw me. Looking forward to this class, never to soon or to late to learn more about the quicksand's of writing & publishing.

I'm having another issue with the chatroom and have been since the hack attacks, I thought everyone did but found out the other day nope just me. lol. All I see is a triangle with an exclamation mark. On hover, it says you must register or login to use chat which I am, have. I've tried to log out and come back in to see if that would work but I can't log out. Hopefully, you have some ideas.

Thanks

Not super important/urgent but not sure if this is just me with some old moderator privileges still, or all members can, still but I can access any of the SIG forums.

Hi I am a member of Irene Roth's Writing support group but the forum has 'disappeared.' I have no way to access our forum with our thread discussions, lessons, etc. I am wondering if this is an issue for me or if it is an overall problem. I haven't been able to find or access the forum for over a week now.

Thanks,
Tina

Hello,

I wanted to let everyone know that our *new* site will be unaccessible to complete important site upgrades on Sunday November 8, 2015 from approximately 9 a.m.-11 a.m. EST.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I found an issue with the chat room earlier today.

hardware/software specifics:
Asus netbook Eee PC--iirc it's a 10" screen--running XP
browser: Chrome

When I attempted to open the chatroom by clicking on the blue person a list of chatrooms popped up, but only the last 10 or so showed and no way to scroll through them that I figure out. The list was also transparent so everything on the page I was using showed through. I could, however, scroll the background window up/down to make lines visible.

-------------------------------------------------------

I found a workaround to get into any of the chatrooms not shown for you if you have this problem.

Enter an unlocked chatroom from the popped up list
Click the 'pop window out' button on the right side of the top bar
In the small free-floating window that appears, copy the URL
Close the window and open a new tab/window in your browser
Paste the copied link in, edit the # at the end of the URL to 2 and hit enter
This will log you into the sprint chat room.
Now if you go back to your original savvy tab/window you should see the chatroom open as a small inline chat function. If so go back to the other tab/window you created and close it.
From here you can use the chatroom as normal.

If you need a different chatroom, just keep changing the # until you hit the correct one.

Hi I'm new on the site and really wanted to take Candace Haven's class tonight, but can't find it....

thanks,

Is there a way to have html in our sigs? ie the ability to add word counters, like this, that we've had in the past at on our other sites.

What happened to the Synopsis workshop that was supposed to start yesterday? I keep logging in looking for posts and have nothing...other than my registration email. And yes, I'm looking on the new site. Did it get cancelled or what? Curious.

Hi there,

I have a NaNo teammate who's as perplexed as I am about why her posts almost always quote posts before it? She can't seem to stop replying with quotes. Is it something in her settings? Any other ideas?

Hi,

I can't wait to take the Sweet Passion 101 class next week. I hope I figure out how to navigate before then.

Hey there,

I've been lining up a team for the NaNo Boot Camp. One of our prolific author team mates is visually impaired and uses specialized equipment to view the site. Though she never was able to access the chatrooms, we managed to make the old site work, but haven't tried anything on the new site. If someone could provide some info as to how the new site should work for her, it'd be much appreciated as we try getting her set up.
Thanks!
