Knowledgebase Updates

[MDGarcia]

I'm going to post new support KB articles up here for you to read. Let me start with one that I just wrote about seeing special/annoying characters in your stories:

I don't know if this will help, I discovered it by accident. There are issues when you're posting a new chapter, and it adds extra spaces. I found a way around that because what was in the KB article wasn't working for me since I use an Imac. Here's what I did feel free to add it if you want, I cleared out my story text, then I unchecked use TinyMCE, then I clicked on use TinyMCE. It then displays the code in the box where you put the story text that adds the extra spaces. I deleted that, and then pasted the chapter in the box like normal, and it has worked every time.

I usually get around that by using html code and unchecking use tiny mce.

[MDGarcia]

Yeah, TinyMCE isn't the best, but it's free. eFiction's open source, so we're kind of stuck on that for now.

Due to our recent move to the new OS, you'll notice that some of your stories might have some weird characters showing up.  This is due to use of non-HTML characters for punctuation (ie: quotation marks, ampersands, ellipsis, etc).  Please see this KB article for an explanation and how to resolve it.
