Working as intended. Xenforo sites didn't used to have dedicated cover images and it was common practice for a cover image to be the first image in the story. And still is for some sites.

You can disable that behavior in personal.ini.

That's something I should be able to add, but not until next week. Ask again if I haven't said anything by Wednesday Dec 31.

FFF used to do that, then XF2 stopped listing the author in the threadmarks list. I'm not aware of any useful list where FFF could get the author per threadmark without basically fetching every post again every update.

But I'll look into it if you can point one out.

Hey, I used the Fanficfare plugin to download an Ao3 story with embedded images. But then it updated with new chapters, so I used the update function, and it moved the story up the list of most recent books in Calibre, leaving it out of order with the other stories in the series. What should I do to keep this from happening going forward/fix the order besides just downloading the stories all over again?

There are multiple possible answers. My go-to would be to just sort by Calibre's Series column.

You can order your library by the Published date column, that should be populated in the order the author initially published each story rather than last updated.

You could add a custom 'added to library' column to your library that get populated only on initital download. Similar to Published, but specific to you.

If what you actually mean is that the author changed the order of the series and now your Series column doesn't match for those books, you can (in order of severity):

Use Manage Series plugin to fix the series for those books in Calibre's series column.
Use FFF 'Update Calibre Metadata only' mode on all books in that series to fetch metadata and update it.
Use FFF 'Update EPUB Always' mode on all books in that series to fetch metadata and update it both in Calibre and on the books' title pages.

If the date added is not changing but the date modified is, you can try using the JobSpy plugin to reset the date modified to the date added.
