Bug: Story sidebar on the right

The server that serves the third party script that moves the story sidebar from the right to the left on the desktop is currently down. The sidebar actually always loads on the right (for the benefit of search engine spiders to make finding your content easier as well as the proper ordering of content on mobiles) but a script visually moves it to the left once the page has fully loaded which is why you sometimes see a brief flash of the sidebar on the right whenever you load a story page. I'm working on either creating a new script myself to do this or making it a per account setting via a link you click (I'm leaning towards the latter since it's easier).

I thought it was a new style change with the sidebar on the right. To me it actually doesnt look bad, it actually looks better since when you read from left to right the paragraph is aligned with the right side of the scream
Thanks for the update!

Oh! I didn't know! Well, I have noticed that the sidebar is on the left these days, but I thought it was a style chagne ^^ I'm glad to have got information about the change, since I, in all honesty, prefer it on the right side, haha! XD

Hi! Thanks for the information. It's becoming a problem for most people using aff, perhaps because we've been used to having the sidebar on the left side. It's also affecting the stories' backgrounds since they're designed in accordance to the left sidebar setting. Anyways, I hope this gets resolved! :)

Thank you! It looks pretty weird for me to always see it on the right side.
Somehow to me, the sidebar (if it's on the right) makes the stories look uneven or not centered.

I factually always wondered why it sometimes showed up like that but anyways i personally was fine with it either way.

Hello! I didn't know how to contact you otherwise because I don't have you as a friend here on AFF.
This is actually an issue which currently occurs on RPR. I don't know if others who I do not know personally have the same problem though.
Anyway, the thing is: I can't log into my account. I tried it with the moderators account of another RP where I'm co-admin, but it won't work either. Neither any of my friends can, not even on mobile.
As I said before, I have zero idea if it's with other users as well. I would like to give my thanks beforehand for any answer regarding this. And sorry for reporting the issue here instead of on Twitter or somewhere else. I just got panicked when I couldn't log in.

Sometimes it just stays on the right side for me, even after the webpage has been loaded.

Same problem here on laptop and mobile ..
I also have got another problem that cost me some time to fix .. some of my stories lost their tags, do you know anything about it?

Craxie #11 Oct 12, 2015 08:19:22

Ive been experiencing the same problem, hope this gets fixed soon :/

Just wondering. Does that only apply when you're viewing the site through a computer? Or would you also be able to see it even when you're on mobile? :O

I honestly thought it looked weird but hence I know nothing of computing so, whatever is easier :)

Why not just keep it on the right side? It saves you time and we will just have to get used to it!
