posted a month agoPlease contact me via www.ficlab.com/contact for assistance. I answer every single support request received via that form, usually the same day.
If you did not receive a reply to your original message, then this most likely means there was a typo in the email address you provided, and my reply to you bounced as a result - this is the most common reason for my being unable to contact a user.
Regarding your specific problem - that is the result of a bug in Firefox that occasionally causes problems with the download API. Fully restarting your browser (or rebooting your computer) will resolve it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18288255, 9 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Bhargav Ram, a year agoi just found out that the latest update removed Wattpad as one of the sites where download is not possible from now on. Will in the future is there any chance for FicLab to get it back in the future versions?
Developer response
posted a year agoSupport for Wattpad was removed in v1.0.102 while I work through some legal headaches.
At this point, I'm unsure whether support for it will return in the future. That will depend on whether I can negotiate a solution with Wattpad that resolves their concern; the call is ultimately theirs to make. - Rated 4 out of 5by Erica, a year ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13454845, 2 years agoThis has really helped me out since I could no longer download stories from one of my favorite sites with the other program I used.
I will admit there are a few more features I would like to see added. Such as a wider selection of fonts to be able to choose, to be able to choose to display the stories as a full width page instead of the more centered look it has now and the ability to change the line spacing. As it is now it can be a little hard to read. Even being able to change it to 1.15 or 1.5 would be a big improvement.
I also used to use a program with a nice feature that broke the story up into chapters and created a folder to hold the story. It started with an index and each chapter was it's own smaller file. It was a bit easier on the cpu and browser.
Edit- I just discovered that this extension seems to have trouble downloading large stories. I went to download one with over 2 million words and the 1st time there was an error. The second time it crashed Firefox.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks - those are some good suggestions :-).
Regarding the 2m word story - it should be able to cope with that, and on testing can usually manage things longer than that. Could you please contact me via https://www.ficlab.com/contact and provide the story URL, so that I can investigate further. - Rated 5 out of 5by Antag, 2 years agoIt's been truly fantastic, but with today's (Oct 2, 2022) update, it now returns the following error: 'Render (docx): Remote render failed: Websocket communication error'. It says it for each download option, and clearing my cookies/cache didn't fix the issue. Any guidance would be appreciated. (EDIT Oct 3: It's no longer an issue! Updating rating for 4 -> 5 stars)

posted 2 years agoSome formats (docx, mobi, azw3 & pdf) are rendered remotely. The error you saw was due to some server downtime on that day - FicLab was complaining about being unable to contact the rendering server.
I normally post on Twitter (@ficlabapp) in advance of any planned downtime that may affect FicLab users. - Rated 5 out of 5by moonpoolart, 2 years ago

posted 3 years agoThanks for letting me know - this was caused by a change on the AFF website. It's fixed in v1.0.47 and newer.
