These are some steps that we have come up with that have fixed nearly ALL user problems. I don't care whether you think they will work or not PLEASE try all of them before posting!

Step 1:
Make sure you are accessing the MAIN site first. Please do not use bookmarks.

Step 2:
If you’re unable to view stories, make sure you have LOGGED IN, and go to Edit Personal Information, and look at the question regarding AGE VERIFICATION. Once you have answered this *APPROPRIATELY* Click SUBMIT to save the settings. Do not forget to hit SUBMIT to save the settings! (Yes this has come up already.) Once you are logged in, if you do not want to be automatically timed out/logged off, check the box that says 'Remember Me'

Step 3:
Make sure you are **NOT** using any other skin beside the one named, “Green Jupiter”. If you want to check your skin settings, it is also located under 'Edit Personal Information'

Step 4:
We now are using a few bits of java to help load, sort, and search stories. As such you need to make sure your browser is enabled to allow java.

Step 5:
Once you have done all the above steps, and you still can not view stories, please refresh your webpage, and then try closing and reopening your browser. Other users have replied back to say this last step seems to have fixed most issues. If you had to turn java settings on in your browser I recommend also restarting your computer.

---------------
Now if you are STILL having problems, please make sure you include in your email the following information:
Your Archive Author/Username so that we can look at your account.
What browser you are using.
PC or Mac computer.
And last, as much DETAIL as you can about the error or what you are seeing on the screen. Is it all stories or only R and NC17 stories, ect.

I want to thank everyone for being patient with us. We are working very hard to get all this fixed as soon as possible!
P.S. I know a few of these steps are making you scratch your head, but just go with me here...
