Hi Jimm, thanks for the help, but I have a few questions if you don't mind.

1. So you are saying that I have to use Browser Cache now that using archiveofourown.gay won't let me download restricted works?

2. In trying to use the Browser Cache Method, I don't understand "While using Browser Cache Feature with AO3, you should comment out always_login and username under [archiveofourown.org] in personal.ini." I don't have a section for [archiveofourown.org] in my personal.ini or either of these.

3. Where would I place "open_pages_in_browser:true" in my personal.ini? Is it required for downloading restricted works, or just adult works?

4. Is the Browser Cache Method the same as what we do for Fanfiction.net? The method where we open up each page of a fanfiction to collect the cache?

Thanks again.

Hello, I'm sorry to bother you, but can I ask whether my questions were purposefully left unanswered? Did I say something wrong? If so, please let me know, and I'll avoid this in the future.

I have answered variations of these questions so many times I honestly just don't have the energy every time they come up again. Sometimes other users will chime it, but I guess they're tired, too.

But since you insist:

I offered that as a possible solution, yes.

Sadly, there isn't a perfect turn-key solution for FFF to download from AO3 anymore. Some options work for some users but not others. I blame AI companies mass harvesting the entire web that forces sites to defend themselves from automated access--which is what FFF is.

Even if you can't get FFF to download AO3 at all, there's still AO3's own Download > EPUB feature.

Then you don't need to comment them out.

Editing personal.ini sometimes requires adding sections. To quote from an earlier post:

use_browser_cache_only:true
open_pages_in_browser:true

Mostly, yes. But it's easier to use open_pages_in_browser:true instead of manually clicking through chapters because FFF's AO3 code adds a parameter when is_adult:true.

From CustomOutput wiki page:

Ah...thank you. I did at one point add <br/> to chapter_start but failed to make the connection to the issue

My intention was to add a single line break between the chapter title and the story/body text. Toward the end of the chapter_start setting, I did have it set up as:

Code:

<body class="fff_chapter">
 <h3 class="fff_chapter_title">${origchapter}</h3>
 <br/>

Should I change it to this instead?

Code:

<body class="fff_chapter">
 <h3 class="fff_chapter_title">${origchapter}</h3>
 <br class="skip_on_ffdl_update"></br>

Also, any recommendations on how to add a line break between Author Notes at the beginning of chapters and the story/body text?
