Improved Saving Offline and Expanded Chapter Nav Setting
I managed to find some time to work on improving the save offline feature. All chapters saved offline are now sorted in the correct order. Story and chapter management is now also improved with the ability to remove single stories and individual chapters. You should also no longer get weird random errors in the saved list of chapters but if by chance your offline saving gets wonky anyway, I've added new links at the bottom to clear out your browser or device storage space (only does this for AFF content so don't worry about accidentally nuking your other stuff). Unfortunately, in exchange for the new robust save offline features, you'll have to re-save your stuff. Sorry, I couldn't find a way around it but I think the benefits in this case are much larger than the cost in the long run (hey, your chapters are in order now).
I also added a setting where all chapters on the nav can now be expanded and be set as your default. This is pretty much how the chapter nav worked on the old layout. You can find this link at the bottom of your chapter nav called "<< Expand all chapters >>". It's reversible so you can try it out and revert back if you don't like it.
I did some maintenance work on the site files to make future updates easier to do. Nothing should have been added or removed because of this and this change should have been invisible to you. On the other hand, 722 changes on 516 files have been made (according to version control) and I made all of those manually so there's a higher chance with this update that a bug creeped in. If you notice anything missing in the user interface after this blog was posted and you're relatively sure it shouldn't be missing, please let me know.
Update: A couple of people are reporting issues with saving offline. The most likely issue is that your offline page hasn't been refreshed in your browser cache (your offline page is cached to your device so that it would continue to work without an internet connection). Try refreshing the page a couple of times or just refresh your browser cache manually. If you see the "Clear Device Storage" link at the bottom of the page then you have the newest version. If you see the link but your offline saving is still glitchy, use the "Clear Device Storage" link. I suggest you use the "Clear Device Storage" link regardless before saving new chapters anyway so that your old saved chapters don't continue to take up space on your device.
