I have problems with one of my older (temporarily abandoned) SMs. When I decided to finally finish it after a year's pause, I found out that I'm being logged out every time I try to open intro or some of the existing questions or twists. Other parts of the mystery work perfectly. I changed the title some time ago and, thinking that it might be the cause of the trouble (although I've done that before and nothing happened), I changed it back to the original title, but the program still keeps logging me out at the same particular questions. Does anyone know what the error might be caused by, and is there a way to resolve it?

There have been issues like this in the past. I doubt the age of the SM has anything to do with it; possibly, however, there is some sort of character used that causes the log-out bug. I've had a few problems with a few SM's over the past couple of years, editing-wise, and it actually has to be fixed by Ben.

If you can figure out the numbers of the questions and twists that are causing problems, Ben should be able to take out/change whatever is causing the problem.

Yes, it's probably a character in a question, where the question has been saved, then changed. Sometimes they come up blank when viewed. Like Ani says, if you note the question / twists, ben might be able to fix those bits. Otherwise you could copy paste those bits that do work into a document, and start a new SM. if oyu can test play it, you should be able to to access the intro and copy paste thatas well.

Thank you both for your answers. It's only partly playable, but I've already decided to start a new SM and copy-paste the whole thing from my notes.

Thank you for stating this so that we fellow SM writers will know what's going on if that happens to us. thanks!
