recently had a journal about the scheduled FA updates for August, and I left a comment asking about making the page layout more favorable to writers, specifically in having a scrolling window to hold the story text so your page didn't end up screwed up.As you all know, the current setup allows you to either put the text in the comment box and thus stretch your page a mile long and push your relevant information about the story you'd normally use a mile down, including tags and such. The other option is to simply only have a download option to read the story. Personally, I feel both of these setups can deter readers, either because they don't feel like downloading or they get scared off by how large the page appears. Those of you who have been to Eka's Portal probably know how they already use a scrolling box within the page to hold story text. I think it works out nicely.
Apparently, working on this issue has been put onto the board, but unfortunately, it will not likely be implemented by the August update. So while that means there's a long wait yet for this needed fix, at least we writers do finally have something to look forward to.

just give it a bit of time^^
Spread the word!
Let's just hope whatever they implement doesn't require coding to even have paragraph breaks, or we will see unintentional walls of text and arthritic hands from having to code in potentially hundreds of things into our work. o_0
