1. Is there a way to go back to the old version?

A: Yes. The link is at the bottom or footer of the site. But I think it is just temporary so I suggest you "acclimatize" yourself with version 3.0 :D Or you can go to the homepage, and switch to green theme by pressing the button in the right side panel.

UPDATE: We can now choose from five different themes and three versions. Head to the frontpage and select your favorite from the drop-down menu at the right side panel.

2. How do I know which of my subscriptions are updated?

A: The date. Haha. Jk. It says "Updated!" in green.

(yeah I know, not a very good example, but I used my other account which I haven't opened recently to show you. That's why the date it was updated is ancient.)

3 How can I view my notifications?

A: The notification box drops down automatically when you refresh the page or move to a new tab.

You can click any of the links and it will remain there, except for 'new comment replies'.

If you received more than one reply, no need to open them in separate tabs. Just click the grey 'view replies' button after replying to one comment.

The globe icon stays red or orange until you have clicked all your notifs. The other notification (new friend posts!) doesn't disappear, look:

4. How do I subscribe to an author or a blog?

A: Go to their profile.

5. How do I subscribe to a story? How do I upvote?

A: In the foreword, you'll find upvote and subscribe below the title. 

(screencapped the advertised story)

6. How do I know who subscribed to what?

A: Introducing, AFF ver. 3.0's latest feature:

New subscribers show us who the recent subscriber is and that subbie's username automatically makes it first in our list of subcribers. There is a link below their username that shows us which ofyour fics the user subscribed to. You can view it now (Stories > Subscribers).

Events show us which story the recent subbie subscribed to. It will lead us to the subscriber's page of the story. Events serve as an alert and history. It will show up to ten events at a time.

Once other kinds of events are added, they will eventually be stored in another tab or section. 

UPDATE: Events history has its own section now! It's called NOTIFICATIONS. You can find the NOTIFICATIONs box in the right side panel of your profile page or in the left side panel of your blog (top) and story (bottom)

New event: New story from your friend!

7. Keeper, why does your version 3.0 look different from mine?

A: 0_0 If your version 3.0 doesn't work this way, try clearing your browser cache. I already informed boss about the difficulties some of you are experiencing with the notifications. 

8. I can't access my notifications in mobile. My phone blah blah blah...

A: I can't even go to my profile. lol. As for the mobile version, let's wait a little while longer. I mentioned yesterday that version 3.0 works in the phones Boss Nichi and his layout designer are using. So it is hard to "fix" a problem they haven't encountered. 

It's the same with the site version. It runs smoothly in their laptops/computers. So they need someone to tell them and to check for them if the change works or not. (Send your concerns to AFFHelper.)

Boss has been working non-stop to fix the bugs - chat reply, LM's edit link, block user link, hiding subscriptions, etc. - and adding new features, as well (ex. new subscriber alert and events). So, give him time :D

9. How do I set a Cover Image for my story?

A: Read here.

10. New Features:

a. Links in walls and pms can be clicked.

b. Author story search bar

c. GROUP PM

d. Author Spotlight. How to be featured in Author Spotlight?

A: Read it here.

e. Spoiler tags! We can comment now without spoiling it for anyone who hasn't read the latest story update yet.

A. Type [spoiler]text here[/spoiler] and tada! Your comment or wallpost would be hidden underneath a black strip. Hover your cursor or click it (for mobile users) to reveal the message. Easy right? 

I will update this as I find answers to questions.
