Fanfiction.net fubar

I guess everybody knows by now that fanfiction.net, on a lot of stories, removed manual breaks between content like ------'s, etc., right?

I went to one of my stories and went 'crap.' Gotta check 'em all out and probaby reload a few...

My apologies ahead of time for such a stupid question,
but what exactly have they done to rearrange the ff on the site?
Is it yet another PC event or is it to tidy up the site?
I guess I do not fully understand.
Thanks

Let's say you put in
****************
between sections.
Well, those ********* are now gone, so your story may suddenly change radically in mid-stream. I have no idea why it was done, but they should have apprised its users of the upcoming change. Plus if you wrote say, Sam/Jack, it's now SamJack.
While it's not earthshattering, it will make a LOT of authors out there look pretty stupid because FFnet removed these items.

**nods**
I don't understand the necessity of
doing this........I suppose they will clean up
something like my . . . . . . also which I use often
in emails and even sometimes in a story I have written??
:P
