Happy Easter from II!

Sly’s got some changes planned to the site. Not sure when it’s going to happen, but please excuse any construction you happen to come across.

As for updates, Falconempress has reviewed Deeper for us. And for a change, it seems to be a book that’s not completely fail. Ari has the second spork for the flaming pile of dog crap that’s Maradonia up for your reading pleasure. Kitty has illustrated another scene from Eragon. It totally does the gravity of the moment justice, IMO. Finally, we’d like to welcome lccorp2 to the contributor team. Go check out his awesome chapter by chapter breakdown of Bitterwood.

On the forum side of things, we’ve got some great writing-related discussions going: Religion in Fiction, Perfecting a Story, and Tone in Writing, among others. There’s also some less srsbnss threads if braining isn’t your thing. Or why not start a new topic?

    Hey Legion/SlyShy/whoever looks at this.

    I was wondering about the forum. I have no idea what is wrong with my computer, but it will not let me post at all. If I click to post or something, it just boots me back to the forum front. I am encountering the same problem on Firefox and IE. I’d love to get involved over there, so maybe if one of you could recommend some add-ons or something I could do to my computer to make the forum work, I’d appreciate it.

    I’m extremely confounded by your case. I thought it might be caused by disabling javascript, but when I tested it, it didn’t make a difference.

    Are there any more details you could give me?

    Well, I don’t know what other information I could give that could be helpful – I’m on IE 8 and Firefox 3. I just updated my Java, but that didn’t seem to help at all. On Firefox, I have Java and Javascript enabled, and also just tried unblocking popups. I have no idea what is wrong with my computer, and I’m not enough of a tech-geek to find any other useful information. =)

    I might try downloading Google Chrome and seeing if I could post from there, but I’m guessing that I wouldn’t be able to, since Firefox and IE won’t let me.

    I don’t remember if I asked this question before, but do you have cookies enabled?

    Cookies are important for the forum to work, although it shouldn’t cause that error.

    When you visit II, do you use http://impishidea.com or http://www.impishidea.com? Using the latter might screw up the way the forum does redirects. Hm.

    I visit it using www.impishidea, however I tried accessing just http://impishidea.com and I still encountered the same problems.

    I have cookies enabled too.
