Since the restoration of CHYOO isn't full, several problems have arisen. Methods of working around these problems have been posted on the forum, but they're buried within topics and not easily found. Therefore, I will be confining these techniques to this post and addressing concerns within this topic until the site is back to normal.
In order to Add Threads: http://www.chyoo.com/index.php/member.thread.addedit/0/{THREAD_NUMBER}
In order to Link Threads: http://www.chyoo.com/index.php/member.story.map/{STORY_NUMBER}/{THREAD_NUMBER}/link
In order to navigate a story without a white page, use one of the following three step tricks:
A.) The Story Map: http://www.chyoo.com/index.php/member.story.map/{STORY_NUMBER}
A1.) Use this link to access the story map directly.
A2.) Click on any one thread. You'll be directed to a blank page.
A3.) Remove the very last forward slash in the thread number and enter this link.
This trick is only necessary if the story map is accessed via this link or the link supplied on a user's list of stories. The extra forward slash is meant to separate the target thread's number from the previous thread's number, the latter of which is absent if accessed in these manners.
B.) Backwards Navigation with the Browser:
B1.) Click the back/previous button of the web browser, not the CHYOO site.
B2.) If the browser asks you to "confirm form resubmission" or anything similar, reload the page.
B3.) When a pop-up window asking to confirm this order and cites the previously supplied information (navigating the story), click continue, and the thread is reloaded.
Since CHYOO only supplied a proper link to the thread if accessed from the story map or a list of threads, backwards navigation with the browser is needlessly complicated, which is why the story map is the preferred method. However, if the direct link was for the previous page, then backwards navigation is easier than the story map.
Notes:
1.) {STORY_NUMBER} stands for the story's number. This number is available in the link to the cover page of any story. For example, the link to the cover page of "The New Housemate's Secret" is:
http://www.chyoo.com/index.php/main.story.cover/9060
Therefore, the story number of "The New Housemate's Secret" is 9060. Should I wish to access the story map, the link would be:
http://www.chyoo.com/index.php/member.story.map/9060
2.) {THREAD_NUMBER} stands for the number of the thread to which users wish to add. This number is available in the link to the thread. The link can only be found by selecting the thread from the story map, a user's thread list, or an advanced search that displays results as threads. Pressing "<<Prev" or "Next>>" will not give you a direct link. For example, the direct link to the thread "She'll make it to dinner" in "The New Housemate's Secret" is:
http://www.chyoo.com/index.php/main.story.page/196112
Therefore, the thread number of "She'll make it to dinner" is 196112. Should I wish to add a thread to "She'll make it to dinner," the link would be:
http://www.chyoo.com/index.php/member.thread.addedit/0/196112
Should I wish to link another thread for "She'll make it to dinner," the link would be:
http://www.chyoo.com/index.php/member.story.map/9060/196112/link
If there are any additional problems that are not addressed here, please post the problem here. Someone should answer, and I'll update the post once that happens.
We're currently working to establish a means of rating and reviewing threads that are also the last thread in the story line. So far, we're not having much luck.
