Thank you! I haven't played with action chains yet but I will be looking into using this! Thanks!

- Clear INI Snippet setting between Add URL dialog calls.

Not sure if this is something that can be fixed or not, or if it's just happening to me, but I keep getting this error on one story on SB:

HTTP Error in FFF 'Page not found or expired in Browser Cache (see FFF setting browser_cache_age_limit)'(428) URL:'https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/birds-of-a-feather-cyberpunk-metroid-chozo-si.1273073/reader/page-2?threadmark_category=10'
https://forums.spacebattles.com/thre...zo-si.1273073/

I THINK it has something to do with this opening but coming up as "Oops! We ran into some problems..." and not actually opening anything to do with the story: https://forums.spacebattles.com/thre...rk_category=10

Any advice will be appreciated.

P.S. I had asked a few days ago about SB fics not downloading, I was able to fix that using the cache thing like I have to do for AO3 now (where it opens the pages in the browser), but then this problem started happening to just this one fic.

This looks like it's the same problem as one we've seen before:

Realistically, your only options right now are:

• Set continue_on_chapter_error:true and accept that story will have one bad chapter.
• Set skip_threadmarks_categories:Media for that one story and skip Media--there's only the one post.

Example:

[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/tread-lightly-a-warhammer-30k-au-si-celestial-forge-fic.1243565/]
skip_threadmarks_categories:Media
## Or, if you already set skip_threadmarks_categories for site or defaults:
#add_to_skip_threadmarks_categories:,Media

This is a new one for me ... but Pit of Voles is in flux so maybe it'll clear. URL is

The outcome is the attachment.

- Don't confuse usecache with referer - position vs named params.


For booster-t's issue. Only affected ffnet without use_browser_cache_only and scribblehub POSTs.

Is there a way to remove the <details> tag? When I load a fic like this one (check endnotes) onto my Kobo, there's no way to expand it.

## Tags listed here will be replaced with <span class="tagname">.
## For example: <u>underlined text</u> becomes
## <span class="u">underlined text</span>
## Note that the output_css should contain the class .u, .big, etc for
## the spans to be useful.
## This feature is for replacing old tags deprecated/removed in newer
## HTML and EPUB standards.
replace_tags_with_spans:u,big,small

EDIT:
I assume ownedbycats knows, but for new users, you would use this by adding details & summary tags something like so:

[defaults]
add_to_replace_tags_with_spans:details,summary

I mainly use fanficfare for backing up fics from ao3, however it's extremely inconsistent. It fails to fetch data or download fics basically half the time, with timeout or login errors. I've tried increasing the timeout limit and configuring the always login switch in the config, but nothing seems to work. Are there any other settings or anything else that I can adjust to make it more consistent? I've used ao3downloader before to mass download fics, so I know it's possible. I just hope it can be possible through the plugin too

[ovillo]

devi, are you using browser cache?
