Details

  • The form that allows Archive admins to change various site settings and put up admin banners wasn't as user-friendly as it could have been: the text was crowded, the options were ordered randomly, and we couldn't see the full text of the admin banner when we needed to edit it. Now similar options are grouped together and everything is easier to read, which makes our admin team much happier.
  • The interface for posting and editing AO3 News posts now has an autocomplete function for the post tags.
  • Users can filter News posts by tag or language, but the filter form wasn't coded as accessibly as it could have been. Now the labels are properly associated with their dropdown menus, so screen readers will tell users what the menus are for.
  • If you attempted to share a multi-chapter work on Twitter while in chapter-by-chapter view, the only thing in the tweet would be the URL. Now the tweet says, "[TITLE] by [PSEUD] - [FANDOM TAG] [URL] via @ao3org" as it already does for oneshots.
  • The forms for editing and posting works contained a field called "Custom Stylesheet" that allowed users to apply a Work Skin to their works. We changed the name to "Select Work Skin" to make its function clearer.
  • The form for editing information on multiple works wasn't as user-friendly as it could be. We've made the "* Required information" notice stand out some more and rearranged the Visibility and Comment Settings checkboxes to make it easier to see which checkbox corresponds to which option.
  • User who set their preferences to hide warnings or additional tags may have noticed that, if they selected the option to reveal the tags, there were two commas between each tag. Oops! Now it's one comma per tag.
