It is a glitch leftover from the most recent update.
Quote by Mendalla
When I go to storiesspace.com (or that other place as well) instead of the home page, I get the attached image. I can get to the proper homepage by clicking on the logo. However, if I login, I don't get the proper page (home or forum depending on where I am) until I refresh. I initially thought it was a mobile issue but I see that I am having it on my desktop, too. I use Chrome on both. Desktop is Windows 10, mobile is Android 13.
Also, Remember Me seems to have stopped working once again. I am having to login on every visit.
I've reported this and the Remember Me no longer working so thankfully the techs are already looking into it.

I’ve been experiencing ‘page not found’ errors all day both here and on the red site.
I’d have reported it there, too, but I can’t create new topics unless I renew my gold membership (unless that’s also a bug?).
Hello. There are a few behind the scene updates going on so hopefully it will be sorted across the board by tomorrow.
You are not the first person to mention the gold membership.
You all never cease to amaze me. The talent on this site is top-notch and I’m proud to be a part of it!

Quote by redwriter
I think I have tried every conceivable Copying, Uploading , gliding and I still cannot make a connection. I had no bother initially in just plain copying to Word page before I started writing. But that simple technique didn't work and neither has anything else.
If you try what Mendalla has posted and it still doesn't work please just submit your story and I'll try to attach the photo of your choice.

Quote by OpheliaTusk
Question - I wrote the story, it says exactly 1000 words on my document but when I copy it into the submission box it is over 1000 and I am confused how that happened? Is there some glitch? or is it including the title and authors note into the word count as well? And if so, does our exact word count include the authors note and all that too, or is it just the story itself?
As Mendalla said, we know about it but we have ways of checking. As long as you have 1000 it will go through.
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
For this contest, we wanted to add a bit of a challenge for some of you. As the title suggests, the word count will be one thousand. Allow one of the photos provided to spark your imagination! You are allowed to interpret this however you wish because we want to know what these pictures bring to mind. All categories are available except for Mico-Fiction, Plays, Poetry, and Songs.
Quick Facts:
The word count is one thousand.
Please include the photo you choose as your cover photo. If you’d like to add your title or name to it that is fine.
You cannot submit already published work.
All Stories Space rules and guidelines apply.dWQrLyL98ufxEN68
Yes, we know the word count is sometimes off but we have ways of checking so please rest assured if you see one a little over it has been checked and it’s only our counter being fickle.
The ending date is December 30, 2022
The winners will be announced on January 6, 2023
Prizes:
First: $150 (USD)
Second: $75 (USD
Third: $50 (USD)
Have fun and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
Hello everyone. I know that I posted this earlier in the week, but I wanted to put it here as a reminder for everyone.
Please be advised that there will be scheduled downtime across our network on 30th November from 9:30 AM UTC to 10:30 AM UTC. This is because we are performing work on our core servers for improved performance and future-proofing. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
Quote by BillySoho
I've just finished a nanowrimo novel and would love to post instalments and obtain feedback. However, I'm concerned about first publishing rights. It's nowhere near publishing standard as yet but I'm hoping it may (just about!) be in the future. The query is, would posting it on this site mean I have lost my first publishing rights?
You find yourself in a cleft stick with this. You want to be read but can't be because of the first publishing rights issue. A tad frustrating and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that!
Grateful for any advice. Apologies if there's a place for this somewhere else on the site - I searched but couldn't find anything.
Hello. You keep the rights to your stories/poems/etc. If you post it here and would like to remove them at any time to publish them you can. We won't question it. Other people, myself included, have some stories here that are also posted somewhere else.
I believe and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but most publishers want your story off of free sites before it is published. Other than that, please feel free to share.
