AO3 Testers

Back before AO3 went live with their ebook feature, I was a tester. I only had my computer for reading ebooks and now that I have an ereader, I'm discovering issues that I didn't have with ARE. So, I've reoffered my services to them as they are in need of testers. If you want to join me, the link to sign up to be a volunteer is here.

As an AO3 staffer, this post makes me very happy. :) Testers, yay!

Have volunteered. Possibly "again;" I dunno when I was last signed up for something AO3-ish.

Yeah, the ebooks have different issues on computers & portable readers. Some of this is possibly AO3-fixable; some is because some ebook reader software is fucked-up different, and some ePub readers are fucked-up not fully compliant with the spec (*cough* SONY *cough*) and while that's the fault of the hardware sellers, it doesn't actually help the people using the archive.

I've been reporting bugs and errors as I spot them. I like to think I have caught a few :-)

Most of the problems have seemed to relate to broken links/images or over-sized sections. They have been getting better with each revision though (although my other half occasionally mutters about them not validating).
