Why Is My Membership Expired And How Do I Renew It?

Depending on your membership plan; your membership has a set length, depending on your membership plan selected by you. You can renew your membership by checking if you had an email for renewing your membership sent to you. If you were about to log into your account; and you’re redirected back to a login page, most likely your account is expired. If this is a case, follow the instructions:

  1. Check if we sent an automated email to you when your account is about to expire. If you can’t find it, check the spam folder.
  2. Click on a special link to renew your membership. You can make a payment there,–the same way as you first signed up. Try logging back in to confirm if you can access your account.
  3. Varify if your membership has been renewed by viewing premium content. If you can view premium content, your membership is valid.

If you wanted a longer membership; you can go to the Upgrade Page to choose A longer membership.

Keep in mind; longer memberships can expire as well, but you have lots of time.

Why Is My Screen-Reader Stalling While I Write Long Posts Over 4000 Words?

If you experiencing some issues with your screen-reader while you’re using Fairies Dreams & Fantasy Writer; be sure to check with your screen-reader developer to find out if your screen-reader is capable of handling 4000 words in your blog post.

If you were using Chromevox on your Google Chromebook; you may need to report an issue. This bug has been occuring during each version of Chrome OS, or your standalone browser.

To figure out if your screen-reader is stalling when typing in long post editor fields

For Chromevox Classic Users (Chrome OS/Browser Extension)

On your Chromebook,–any model will do… Press Ctrl-Alt-Z to activate Chromevox.

Type Ctrl-N or Ctrl-T to open a new tab, and type in your website at the onmibox.

Log into your site, and create a new post, or use the quick draft area. If you were editing your existing post, use the word count feature to determine if your screen-reader has these breakpoints,–or stallpoints.

If you can type in the text-based field,–not WYSIWYG-based editor; use this feature to confirm if your screen-reader is functioning.

If Chromevox stalls… slow down your typing. If it halts; file a bug by pressing Alt-Shift-I, and let the Chrome developers know about your issue. You might need to reboot Chromevox to do this task.

Save your post, and take a screenshot, and let other users know about the issue with this screen-reader what you’re using.

For Chromevox Next users

use a specific Chromevox next keyboard commands to navigate to the text area of your post editor.

If both versions stall when typing, most likely Chromevox is defective, and you may need to use a different computer with a different screen-reader.

If you were using a major screen-reader, such as NVDA, JAWS, or any major screen-reader what you used; check if they have any possible limits.

You can perform this test by writing at least 4000 words as you create a new post as draft. If any of your major screen-readers are NOT doing it’s job, try installing more memory to your device.

However; if you believed your internet connection is causing this problem you can do any of the following:

  • You can go to your wireless router and reset it with manufacturer’s instructions. Wait for your router to reboot. Update it,–if necessary.

  • Your electrical system in your home need repairs.
  • Your Internet provider has gone bankrupt, and you need to move to a different provider.

Sometimes, you can encounter problems with your computer itself. Or your memory in your computer needs to be replaced. Never the less; if you believe your HDD is doing this problem, most likely your disk is failing:

  • You can fix this problem by checking your drive for errors on your machine.
  • Change the data/power cable.
  • Cleaning out the case of your computer.

If you believe you’re low in memory; follow these instructions:

  2. Open your computer case, and locate the memory units.
  3. Replace them with a larger capacity units.
  4. Clean out your case.

Sometimes I See Your Content… And Sometimes I Don’t… What’s Going On?

You may need to adjust your display on your computer. Since Fairies Dreams & Fantasy uses light on dark color scheme; bright text enables you to read what’s actually on your screen. Depending on what monitor type you have, there’s ways to get your display set for reading content on this site.

For CRT Monitor Users

Check with the manual that goes with your monitor. You can adjust the brightness of your screen. Adjusting the brightness on your monitor can help you see the text on a dark background.

If you can see what’s on your screen; and your problem goes away; you are done fixing your problem. If not… you might need to adjust your sharpness level, and your contrast level. High contrast setting for your monitor is strongly recommended to easily see content on this website… if you chosen to raise the sharpness level for some reason; be sure to adjust your brightness again. If the problem goes away, the issue has been resolved.

For LCD Monitor Users

Most LCD monitors use LCD panels with backlights to light up your screen. Due to it’s design; your screen may consume more power when visiting this website. You can still adjust your contrast levels, and the brightness level to condition your screen to use this color scheme. You need to experiment with your screen to varify if you can see the contents on this website.

Glare, and bright light can prevent you from seeing what’s on your screen. Try using the screen at the dark areas of your home/apartment.

For LED Monitor Users

LEDs are lights that can be used for monitors. You can establish seeing content on this site by adjusting your settings on your monitor itself. Brightening the screen, and raising the contrast can help you see what’s being displayed on your screen. If you can see it… your screen is strong enough to output data.

Again… try going to the dark areas of your home to see what’s on your screen.

Note

If you can’t see colors, you might need a special monitor to adjust colors on your screen, or use a screen-reader (recommended). For the best results; use an open-source screen-reader, or a OS dedicated screen-reader on your computer that support reading online content.

Desktop backgrounds may prevent you from viewing content

Try adjusting your desktop theme/background to minimize glare around your browser. You can also maximize your browser to full screen. That works the best for viewing content on Fairies Dreams & Fantasy.

If you were using a big TV of any kind; you can still see content on this site. Be sure to check these minimum requirements on your machine:

  • VGA card – I support use of this device because, all content on Fairies Dreams & Fantasy are DRM-Free.
  • Analog audio output – This requirement is strongly recommended.

Any size monitor will do.

If you were using a computer that is managed by a business, or any organization… contact your administrator for help.

I’m in a dark room, but I still can’t see your content. What’s going on?

Your backlight is defective, or Your CRT monitor has some issues. If it’s a CRT monitor; you may need to have it repaired by a technician. If it’s an LCD monitor; the backlight needs to be replaced. Or your screen is damaged, or worn out, and it needs to be replaced.

Try adjusting the brightness on your monitor,–depending on your device you can find a controller to adjust your screen.

If overheating is your concern, you can try using a fan system to keep your monitor from overheating. Or ask your technician to install it for you. Heat from a CRT monitor can damage the CRT itself, and cause it to fail.

If you were using a projector

You can adjust the focus, and test your projector to varify if you can see what’s on a big screen. You might need to experiment with your machine to confirm if you can see content displayed on this website.

If you were located in an area where is susceptible to glare from any light source; a visor is needed to block the glare. Alternatively; you can use the shade for your place to keep the glare out. Opt for the dark shade that will protect the insides of your home from the light.
