Delete feature explanation: Unlike create and edit, which applies to only one particular instance in your novel, the delete feature has the potential to delete your entire novel! Obviously with such a potentially dangerous feature I thought I should provide a detailed explanation (or try at least)

When you delete plot, that plot is not linked to anything below it, so it can be deleted safely.

However, if you wanted to delete a scene, this will delete all of the plot for that scene because we cant have plot without a scene to attach it to. Similarly for Chapters and Novels, which is why I recommend editing your scenes/chapters/novels instead of straight out deleting them.

Tweaks:

• UI is now flexible to your browser viewport
• IE menu bug fixed
• Deletion bug fixed

Bugs:

• Chapter, Scene and Plot deletions still do not work

Overall:

• UI tested and stable on Opera 11, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 3.6, Safari 5
