May 28th, 2012 -- Notes:
We have increased the story summary length limit from 255 to 384 characters. Please note longer summaries do not translate to more readers. Our recommendation for all authors is to make sure the summary is brief, to the point, and contains the 4 Ws when possible: who, what, where, when (optional).
To maximize the number of reviews a story may receive, we highly recommend authors to enable anonymous reviews. There are already several layers of proven protection in place against spam hence our recommendation.
We have resumed email delivery to Verizon.net/Gte.net email account holders. However, we cannot guarantee the safe delivery of alerts to those with Verizon/Gte emails and still recommend such users to migrate to a different email provider for future safety.
We have tweaked the way the site handle accounts with undeliverable email addresses. If we are unable to successfully deliver an email to your registered email address for any reason, we will immediately stop all alert notifications and members must login to acknowledge/resolve the issue to resume alert delivery. Previously, the site just disabled all alert features for effected accounts. Now, alerts are not delivered but alert settings are preserved.
