Really struggling with submitted format

I'm sure you have plenty for yours.

Point to a couple concerning you, and we'll see what I can say. Your falacious innuendo just keeps coming, doesn't it? Been taking Swiftboating lessons?

Still waiting for you to explain how you know what I know about html and how you know my writing isn't any good.

Still waiting for you to provide any evidence at all that you know much about HTML.

Still waiting for you to say where I said your writing isn't any good. In point of fact, I haven't read any of your stories. Your genre doesn't interest me, and I would never comment on writing I haven't read.

Are the paranoids after you, Pilot?

CarlusMagnus:

There are a number of contributors to this and other fora who dislike sr71plt. This might contribute to her/his paranoia.

I find it best to leave him/her on IGNORE but, of course, I see the flavour of her/his posts when other people quote him/her. Ignoring all trolls is the usual advice for users on most bulletin boards.

The attached cartoon points up how much any of us know about any other user unless we have met them in person.

What other fora? (This is going to be good. I don't post to any other fora).

Wow! That degenerated into something not worth my time.

In response to the original poster:

As both an author on Lit and as someone who works on web applications (like Literotica) in my professional life, text is a difficult thing for computers to process. Keep it simple to reduce the potential for formatting issues. For example, use plain text when submitting stories (uploading files creates an additional problem -- the converter now has to convert your format properly and it may not). Any plain text editor that preserves newlines (Rich Text Files, for example) are ideal. Plain text editors that do not preserve newlines (Notepad, for example) are not ideal. Notepad actually inserts newlines where you don't want them and it is a real pain to hunt those things down with your eyes and correct them.

Secondly, don't try to use weird fonts. If you do, try to figure out how to do it in HTML and not in your text editor. It will save you a lot of headache in the long run.

These are just recommendations. I don't actually know how you are submitting your stories and what is causing the issues you are experiencing. Hopefully, keeping it simple helps you so that you don't run into those problems in the first place.

Please accept my immensely late reply and thanks for your support. It's frightening though how rude other contributors are on this board. Naming no names but some need considerable anger management therapy. I didn't say anything originally but their rudeness and arrogance is staggering.
