Sir-Toby.Com Wiki - Poll

So I'm again thinking of adding a wiki to Sir-Toby.Com. My desire is that authors can use the wiki as a collaborative space to create episode guides for the stories here. There have been a number of episode guides created in the past that have since gone defunct. While we've tried to keep them alive...

Updated to phpBB Version 3

I just upgraded our version of phpBB to version 3. This is a significant upgrade from what we were using before. I've done some basic testing and things seem to be working. Let me know if you see any problems.

As part of this work, I am moving Extend-A-Story development to GitHub: Extend-A-Story on GitHub I have recently been working on a web-based installation process for E...

...There is one additional change that everyone should be aware of. Email notifications from Sir-Toby.Com will now come from "webmaster@sir-toby.com" rather than "sir-toby@sir-toby.com"... Are you sure about that? When I received a notification of your most recent post to this t...

All of my initial tests look good. I plan to proceed with the migration starting around 6:30 PM PST (UTC -0700) on December 29th, just over four hours from now. When I start, all of Sir-Toby.Com will be taken down and replaced with a "under maintenance" page. I'm guessing it will take abou...

Migrating Sir-Toby.Com to New Hosting Provider, 2015 Edition

The current hosting provider for Sir-Toby.Com is terminating their service at the end of this year, just a few days from now. I am currently investigating NearlyFreeSpeech.NET as an alternative hosting provider. Barring any unusual problems, this migration should be completed within the next day. Si...

I set up Extend-A-Story so that the author name field is optional. If you specify an author name, it will be displayed along with the episode, otherwise no author name is displayed. That way the author can determine the level of anonymity they prefer. On the stories I host here, I think most episode...

XKCD Addventure

I don't know if any of you read XKCD, but a recent comic of theirs works a lot like an Addventure-style story: http://xkcd.com/1350/

Okay... I've done some digging and I may have found what is causing this problem. First, I took a look at the four episodes that people have shown to me. One thing that I noticed is that all four contain extended ASCII characters. Examples of these characters include the registered trademark symbol ...

There you go. I will remove it when we are done.
Got it. Thank you. I made a local copy, so feel free to remove the page at your convenience.

Thank you for the list of affected episodes. I will take a look and see if any patterns emerge.
