Question though, are authors notified when validators edit things in their story? I haven't received anything regarding that, so I guess either nothing was edited, or I just haven't noticed?
If you go to Submissions and scroll down, you can click the header for Latest Validations, where you'll be able to see what has been validated and by whom, plus the synopsis. Alternatively, if you go to your author page and look at the list of items, if there's a tick in the right hand column it means that particular item has been validated. You can hover your mouse over the tick to see who has validated your story, then if you wish you can hover your mouse over the 2nd column on the left of your screen to see the text of the synopsis.
There's a lot more info available on various features etc, which you can access if you click on Info, then scroll down to Help. Or Info, then scroll down to About/Procedures
