Remaining issues

    1. Beta recognition. Even if we can get it linked and everything, I think a text field on the story page would be good. I'd like to build beta recognition in from the ground up, because that's a new thing that is worth doing.

    2. On the Story page, we need a header for 'summary'. It's currently just floating there.

    3. can we visually separate 'complete list of stories by...' on the profile page? It looks like it's hanging onto the bio. if not, no big deal.

    4. In a wide window, the user list looks odd with the avatar waaaay off to the right of the username. Can we move it to the immediate left of the username? And, if possible, can we add information about whether the user is an author or not? A number of stories authored, something like that, would be fine. That would help visually, too, as it would take up more of the vertical space required by the avatar.

    5. I see that we have a star-rating system on the story pages. good stuff. But you can only see your star-rating once you've given it one. there's no place where a story's overall star rating is displayed. ideally, it'd be on the story list pages. Or I'm missing something.

    Issues 1, 2, 3 are resolved.

    I have no idea what to do with number 4. There isn't any documentation. Maybe there's a module for alternate user lists. Will have to check.

    5... That star system is more or less for show. It doesn't connect chapter ratings to story ratings. They need to be rated separately. Stupid, but that's the way it is.

    6. Search feature

    The search feature doesn't seem to be working quite properly. For instance, I searched for Angst stories with completion status "yes", but it brought up all angst stories instead of just those completed (i.e. it included Meddle and CoH).

    I know this is a much larger issue, but ideally we'd have something that brings up a table listing of story matches, and then we'd be able to sort them by any field. It may not work in the metafic context, but we'd want to be able to sort by completion status, word count (I know that's a null right now), # of reviews/comments, author name, story title, etc etc etc. Basically we should be able to include or exclude any listed parameter and then sort on any listed parameter. But that's a long-term thing, I know.
