    As there are many writers on the site, I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with FF.net recently. I've gotten two of the same review and then a PM with the exact same thing. Wondered if maybe people have been having trouble reviewing and thusly tried multiple means not realizing they all had sent. Either that or reviewers may have started spamming, feels that way.

    Actually just reamed the last person when I had to read the same thing for the third time. And hate being an ass without cause, much more fun when the person really deserves it.

    PM's work fine for me. The only things that drives me crazy it that every now and then, it seems to swallow a few words -- and it doesn't allow '-'. For whatever reason. :?

    But that's nothing new, so meh.

    No, I haven't really had that particular problem, but I've had a few other nasty ones.

    Like when I went over a chapter and picked apart the spelling/grammar errors, (like 50) submitted it, and it cut off all but two.

    That was annoying.

    I've been getting two alerts for the same chapter for the last couple of days, so I'm betting there's a problem with FF.Net's email bot.

    When you get two alerts more often than not, The author has Uploaded a chapter and then gone back taken it off and posted again. My main problem with FFn is that the Mail bot often goes offline for weeks at a time and then mass emails the alerts all at one time. I get 10-15 alerts a day so when the bot goes off for a week, I get 70-90 mass emails. >_>

    Whoa. Really? That has never happened to me. Weird.

    Anyway, how many stories do you have on your alerts?
