Is there anyway to change the category format on the submission page to something like check boxes? I don't have subcategories. An author of my site is blind and his reading software cannot read the category box. I don't know PHP, but I know HTML, tables, frames, and css. Is there anyway to change this so he can submit fanfics on his own? Thanks! I'm running the latest version of 3.0.

My site:

Actually, it's funny you mention it. The plan on my forum was to do exactly that: Make the submission process more user friendly.

Noted some things on top of the horrid interface for picking options...

Like: We plan on using hidden DIVs so when you pick between a story or a chapter...? It only will show you the options for the one you want, instead of showing you BOTH.

Categories & Classifications will be radio selects, versus the cramped and small scroll fields they are.

We should talk. πŸ˜‰

I agree radio selects would be much better for the categories & classifications. I just have no idea how to go about doing that. Seems to be a lot of interest in this, maybe someone will help us.  πŸ™‚

When I get things set up, I'll be sure to include the modifications here.

I have my people sold on the "SHOPPING CART" approach to submissions-- a few simple steps geared specifically for what you are attempting to submit, and then "check out" [ie; submit]... so, yeah. That's what it's going to be like when I am done.

I hope.
