Hi All

Aranel and I have been working to fix several errors that have cropped
up with the MEFA2007 site. The site may have moments of being down
throughout the day whenever we upload fixes, but it should usually be
back up in a couple of minutes.

One issue we're still working on is that several people have reported
they've seen errors when nominating a story, even though the form has
been filled out correctly. Aranel and I have looked into this and
identified that it happens when you add a new author and then
immediately try to nominate a story by that author.

Aranel is working on a fix to the code but until that's ready the
"quick fix" is to log out after entering a new author, and then log
back in to add the story. The form will then correctly pick up the new
author you just entered and no longer show the error.

If you have any other problems, please let us know!

I just sent an email to mefasupport, because I was unable to log in to
the MEFA2007 site using my username and password from the 2006 site,
which I thought were supposed to work for both. It doesn't recognize
my email address, either, for requesting my password.

I can log in as a guest, but not as myself. ;-)

Thought I'd mention my wee trouble here as well!

Thanks!

Hi Linaewen,

Thanks for posting here. I was checking in during a lull at work, and
probably would not have seen this until tonight if you hadn't posted
about it here (as I usually don't log in to mefasupport away from
home).

For some reason your account was never set up at the voting website.
It should have been. With as many members as we have it's inevitable
that we'll occasionally make mistakes, so if you ever don't have
access to something you think you should be able to, speak up so I or
another volunteer can look into it for you.

I've set up your account now and emailed you the account information
privately. Let me know if you have any more problems.
