Here's the thing: I
know cookies are being saved, and I
know it worked before, and I've checked, and apparently the edit option is gone after 12 hours (or some similar amount of time definitely shorter than 30 days), or once someone different than myself extends the episode.
What I wanted to know here was if there was anyone who knew if this 12-hour estimate was correct; or if there's something that requires for the cookie to exist in a computer – if
that computer has already visited the site – before being able to write a new cookie, which is then checked to put the "edit" option. If the latter is true, that would explain why I can't get the "edit" option on my "old" computer.
If it's
not true, then it's probably some
other problem on my end (most likely space; the computer works with less than 1 MB of disk space and 128 of RAM... see why we call it the "old" computer? The upside is that no virus can run with that little space, so I don't need – nor can I have – an anti-virus)
Since the 12 hours have long since passed, I'll have to say what it was so a mod (
the mod?) can fix it. The most important change I wanted to make was in episode 88649, paragraph 6. I wanted to put a paragraph mark right before the "If" and "she continued" after the coma; which means
...had obviously worked. "If you want, we can discuss this later."
would become
...had obviously worked.
<p>
"If you want," she continued, "we can discuss this later."
This is mainly because each time I re-read it I tend to skip what she says, making the "no" further on seem to mean "No, I'm not alright" instead of "No, I want to discuss this now"
The other thing was changing the background to "parchment" on episodes 88648, 88651-88656, 88679, 88799, 88800, 88698; mainly because these episodes are all "back to the beginning" episodes.
Lastly, I wanted to replace the ellipsis at the end of episode 88783 with ". What Astra doesn't know is that you, the reader, are that cat."
And add to episode 88790, 2nd-last paragraph, "And the little sister was her own sister, Agra! [88807]" Yes, I know I haven't written 88807 yet, but I can't edit 88790 anymore because of the 12-hour limit. I'm hoping by the time a mod gets around to writing this reference, I'll have put it up.
Also missing in this episode is to mention that there is a small pool of water in the room, otherwise option 2 in episode 1483 (cross-linked from 88807) makes no sense. So, basically, change "The light let her see she was in a marble hall" for "The light let her see she was in a marble hall with a small pool of water in the center" and the text for option 2 to "she noticed something in the reflection of the pool of water"
Yes, I know, it's a lot, but all of them minor edits. This is why I didn't want to pester a mod (mods?) about this, but it was just so frustrating to suddenly be unable to do it!
