Hi,
first of all I'm very new to twine. I've read the 2.0 and Harlowe-Documentations and searched the forum, but please forgive me, if this has already come up.
I'm using twine offline with Chrome, but sometimes I just can't archive my projects. Right now for example it just doesn't seem to work and I have no idea why. I'm hopeful that it will work again, because it has happened before that it didn't work for a while and then it all of a sudden worked again. But I wanted to ask if anyone else had that problem and if there is a solution to it.
My second question is about using preexisting stylesheets. Since I'm a complete newbie I wanted to import one from here:
http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/5163When I copy the code into the stylesheet window, it works as long as I'm having SugarCube selected as story format, but not when I'm using Harlowe.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you and apologies for my subpar english.

Each story format defines the basic structure of the HTML within your story file, and in Twine 2.x each of these structures are different. The CSS selectors for each of those preexisting stylesheets expects the basic HTML structure to be similar to that of a built-in Twine 1.x story format, and only SugarCube (mostly) meets this expectation. SugarCubes side-bar is structured differently to the built-in ones.
So your choices are:
1. Use the SurgarCube story format, and the preexisting stylesheet you import will mostly work as there are slight differences between it and the built-in 1.x story formats.
2. Select one of the other two story formats (Harlowe is the default) and convert/modify the CSS selectors to suit it's internal structure.
P.S. If you state which story format and preexisting stylesheet your are planing to use then people on these forums should be able to help you with the conversion if you need it.
I would love to use this stylesheet: If someone could help me how to convert it for Harlowe or give me some pointers that would be great!
Regarding my first question, I still can't use the archive button in the main menu (nothing happens) but publishing individual projects to files and importing them again works.

There is an old resolved issue there about this problem.
