#ao3 bugs

A reminder for y'all to restrict your fics to AO3 only if you don't want to get these comments:

Ironically all of those fics were posted before ChatGPT was a thing lmao🤡 clown circus ffs

Anyone else having an issue on AO3 where the site logs you out when you click on a fic? I've been trying to bookmark a story but no matter what I do, opening the story kicks me out of my account. And THEN when I log back in it brings me to my home page instead of back to the fic. Hitting the back button and refreshing or even just searching the title to find it again kicks me out of my account again. Like I can access/read things still but doing so logs me out and I can only interact with kudos or a guest comment. It's like the site is refusing to let me be logged in specifically when I have a fic open??? I can't seem to find a way around it. :(

Funny little AO3 bugs I‘ve encountered! (Sorry for the image quality)

Damn it, reading bad ao3 stories on a touch device is dangerous. I just hit kudos by mistake while trying to scroll and now my name is the only named kudos under a story I really don’t like.

And there is no way to change it (beside deleting my account).

ARGH!

WHAT?!?? AO3 is missing comments!?!?!? Interacting with readers is my favorite part of writing. How am I supposed to do that when comments aren’t being saved? I’m usually pretty easy going, but this? This is not okay. 😡😡

Yuletide Sign-ups and AO3 Bugs

There are two known AO3 sign up bugs.

1. A character who is nominated and appears in the tagset doesn’t show up in the generated drop-down list. Just go to the tagset, copy the character name exactly, and enter that into the sign up form.

2. A new, and exciting sign up bug is that for certain characters any attempt to select them will not allow your sign up to be saved. To fix this, you need to get in touch with the mods and they can fix it on the back end. Leave a comment on the modpost if you need to reach out.

Why is it that when i edit after having posted (like if i see a typo and correct it) the summary goes berserk and adds more spaces between the lines? This only happens when i use html in the summary btw. Idk if i'm doing something wrong or what.
