I have tried to add a new story from FicWad that I did not already have and am not having any luck.  I have also run into an issue with updating on FicWad.  To start, I'll cover the story that I am trying to add.

Story URL:  http://ficwad.com/story/80186
Calibre:  2.12
FFDL:  2.1.0 (ust installed and restarted, but this also happened with 2.0.10)

I have the login information in the personal.ini and it has worked in the past.  right up to when they changed the format.  The first thng that happens is it asks for my login info (twice) and then fails to download the story.  The error in the log is as follows:

Failed to Login for URL: (http://ficwad.com/story/80186) with username: (Ealdwulf)


So the next thing I tried was to update a single story.


and I received the following error:

global name 'bs' is not defined


at this point I figured I would check the rest of my FicWad stories and grabbed about seven of them across different ratings


and I got the same error as before, BUT on a different story

URL with error this time:  http://ficwad.com/story/228347

This story just happens to be the first one in the log

I did hapen to try it by combining it with stories from different sites but the first FicWad story still shows that error

It looks like FicWad changed the html that FFDL was using to detect when
login was needed. I suspect you caught it while it was updating.
Naturally, it comes hours after I've released a new version.

I've posted a test version with a fix here:
