how long are the stats going to be broken?

mine haven't worked since all day yesterday nor have I gotten any emails/notifications.


My stats have been down since early Sunday morning and two people have told me that they haven't gotten notifications for my last two chapters.

I'm not someone who usually stresses over stats or reviews, but the lack of any sort of feedback is a definite bummer.


indeed! :(

I have gotten no readers or anything for the last three days and usual I get an increase every hour. I thought it might be because the kids are on vacation now or something.

how come there are no forums/discussions up on the site addressing the issue? does ff.net not know about it? are they fixing it or does this just happen all the time?

I'm a new member and haven't been on all that long so I've never gone through an 'outage' like this before.

i must say though, it's very disheartening! :(

It happens quite frequently. At least once a month I'll have a day or two without stats. They've never been down for this long before, though. At least, not in my experience.

Huh... the last news on ff.net

June 11th, 2010 -- We have completed an upgrade that will significantly improve the reliability of our Traffic/Statistic feature. Prior to this update, traffic data can be affected when a server went offline. Now, the traffic recording system can sustain multiple server failures and stilll function as designed.

I see that worked out well for them!

I just emailed to see if they were even aware of the issue. I don't expect a magic wand or anything, I mean, it is a free site. But updating the front page to say "hey, we're aware stats are borked, we're working on it" would be nice.

Oh it's happened for much longer before.  There was a week plus period where some of us had no stats and others did. 

That being said, my stats are broken but I have been getting alerts.

Wow.



I just emailed them as well..can't hurt to let them know others are having the same issues.



Yes and so much for their update! Guess it's still broken, eh? :P





Well at least it's just the site and not my stories XD

I emailed them yesterday.



My SO who's an electric engineer and so knows a little about such matters was telling my today, "They're kidding themselves if they're saying they've got more than one server online and the stats have failed, someone must be using the other one to watch the [soccer] world cup."

The above is an example of a subtle guilt trip lol.


*hugs* because I love that race on Mass Effect thus I immediately think of you as adorable and because guilt trips are sometimes needed.


I chose that icon because I'm short and thrive under pressure lol. And the only guilt trip that was needed in my case was a good kick in the pants to get me to write the damned thing. Two months, Holy Mother of God. I used to update three times a week! Seriously, though, where the Fade are my STATS!!!!

My alerts are broken too as well as the stats. They seem to go hand in hand. I am not getting alerts for everyone. And I am not getting alerts for reviews. I just have to go check my story to see.



@Nadia73, it happens all the time. Last month I went 12 days without stats.

Wow, going back and editing The Rescue... I can't believe how sad I am for Zevran right now.

Nope, I updated The Rescue and got two reviews fairly quickly.



Of course one of them is from someone rooting for Zevran to win Moira away from Alistair....

The Zev fangirls are hardcore. I had them rooting for me to bring him in to compete with Anders for Maggie for about a dozen chapters before they gave up.

Shame is, they all missed when he finally did show up... like 100,000 words later (since I'm apparently writing the War and Peace of fanfic. With far more smut and far less literary genius.)

Well, the Hero of Ferelden deserves to be more than a mistress, dontchyaknow.



With all due respect to Zevran... I don't see where he marries her either.



Maybe I should post a link here so readers will know what I'm getting them into. I so don't want to deal with hate mail from 'Shippers.

War and Peach? Is that the epic tale of an Italian plumber who saves a Russian princess?!

Ooh, you got me beat. I'm only at 209,500 so far. I'll go with Les Misérables of fanfic (again, with far less genius and far more smut), then. I've certainly got that cast of thousands thing going on.



I've got to start sending people away, if I'm having trouble keeping track of the OCs I can't expect anyone else to manage.

Yes, the Peach was for the smut, with the plumber. He has a big pipe.... And as an homage to Tas, I am still just tickled by that story. ^_^ I need to do some fanart of that one.



Good news everyone! They fixed the frozen slime pipes! Oh, sorry, that is WoW. Um the stats bars are working for me again. And they restored all but Monday and Sunday's. I am at 757 tonight.

From the publishers who brought us Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, no doubt.

I'd read it!

Me too Lupus! I say you as the English Lit person with the love of the bard ( a love I share by the way, the "Scottish Play", is one of my favorites) should write it. ^_^

Oooh, I'm going to see The Scottish Play this weekend! All female cast, too. Second experimental MacB I've seen this year, I can't wait.
