Thanks, I could indeed reduce the choices to just the one I liked.

Not sure what is going on, but apparently Ficwad is not working with FFF. I get the following for the log page when trying to update a story:

Error
Heart of the Warrior Book VII
madnesspersonified
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find'
https://ficwad.com/story/94608


The story does exist.

Ficwad URLs worked fine back in April.

No changes were made to my personal.ini that I can remember (except maybe to stop the automatic opening of pages if needed, don't remember off hand if that was before or after the last time I checked ficwad)

Debug log:

New Test Version Posted

2025-08-05
- Tweak a few defaults.ini settings.
- adapter_ficwadcom: Fix for site change.

defaults changes:

[novelfull.com]
## increase from 2
slow_down_sleep_time:5

[base_xenforoforum]
## commented out by default now
#add_to_extra_titlepage_entries:,tagsfromtitle,forumtags

[epub]
## defaults to false now.
#nook_img_fix:false

I apparently forgot to do a release at the first of the month.
I'll do it after this test version has had a little while.

When downloading fics from email, is there a way to pick up all of the series, but NOT any translations into other languages? I really like the series option, but having to go back and delete six translations for a single fic gets old.

What site is sending you email notices like that? Can you screen shot?

The answer is probably to use FFF's Reject feature, BTW.
