Hey all, Tyler here.
I'm looking to compile a list of some of the fantastic archives you are all hosting with eFiction, and intend to display this list somewhere on our site.
So if you're hosting an archive with us, let me know what it is, and I'll see if I can feature it in some way.
I have a site but right now its being transferred to another server. So its offline but my archive was shown to the actor I wrote on. And if you would like to see it Its on Youtube.

My Efiction Site using PHP 8.4
https://fanuniverse.serenawalken.net
I built it using your unofficial work for the 8.2 PHP. I am good at internet and forum investigations.:) It actually works best for me on 8.4 just as well so that's where I have it at currently.
I love the site! It looks beautiful. I haven't used Efiction for a very long time (Early user of 2006 efiction. We have come a ways, haven't we?). I decided to give it a shot again for my works. I just wasn't satisfied with the options of today, and this will be used for more than fanfiction in the future, so I wanted to get it right.
Some key things. Not problems, just to know for your testing.
-All the skin designs are artphilia, I haven't tested any of the others. The site skins are so responsive, it just fits to use those for the latest versions.
-I made my own image folder. I just used the images from the last stable release and it worked.
-Doesn't backup on the archive maintenance. I don't know why but every time I ever did this in the past it always sucked for me. I use a host that lets me have weekly backups and restores anyhow though so everything is always protected. I also have a copy of the SQL from the actual PHP admin.
-I never added any extra modules or challenge things. It's not needed for the site.
-It worked out of the box basically for me.
-Category images don't work. No idea why, I'm not technical. Probably me being dumb again, but I like the site with just my covers anyway.
I don't know if it's perfect, but I like it! I feel like everything is organized and can breath again. Thank you.
If there's anything in particular you want me to try out for your testing, (different skins, challenges, modules) let me know.
