View Full Version : My fanfiction thread is a 404 error now!

I just uploaded a huge chapter to Culture Wars, and now for some reason, whenever I click the thread, I get a 404 error. What's going on? Yikes! :(

Fortunately, I was able to go back in my browser, find the "Submit Reply" page, and copy-paste the text, as well as all the text of the first 9 chapters. I thought I almost lost 28,000 words o_o; #panic

Edit: Apparently, the problem fixed itself... I'm not sure what's up with that. Sorry! I'm just going to leave this here for a little while in case it happens again. I had changed the title to match what's happening in the new chapter, and then it went *poof* x___x;;

you changed the title and forum urls are now based on the title

a redirect was probably missing/delayed

So can we make two topics with the same name? Does that delete the earlier thread?

Gotcha! Thanks! That explains where the problem came from. Since with time a fanfiction gets quite long it probably takes longer for the thread to adjust to a new title.
