Favorites

[Erozetta]

There's a discrepancy between the favorites on my author dashboard and the storyside.

Example:

Author's dashboard shows 15 hearts on Purrfectly Playful

But the story side shows 115.

Other stories as well and it seems to change numbers every time I refresh the dashboard.

It's because your dashboard updated it quicker. There must be some kind of bug with the favorites counting. A few minutes ago, approx 40+ favorites disappeared from my series, and I can only see it on my dashboard.

Edit: Slowly, but they are about to come back. At least, the number is bigger than an hour ago, although most of them are still missing.

Yeah, that's the same issue I'm having with favorites. A hundred favorites disappeared from one of my stories. And the others lost at least a few, but only in my dashboard, not on the story side.

I've lost a majority of favorites across all my work, according to the author dashboard.

Mine is the same. The favorites have dropped on all my stories.

My favorites count hasn't changed, but the sort mechanism on the Works dashboard no longer makes sense - it's no longer from highest to lowest.

@Manu ??

Same thing here. All my stories lost about 80-90% of favorites overnight.

 

[YmaOHyd]

Dashboard left, story-side view right.

One of my stories





Also, for some reason, my story game has had the New tag (only in my control panel) since the day it was published.

 

[crazyness1]

Yes, I have the same thing as well. Just lost a bunch of favorites on all of my stories. Also noticed that my own list of favorite stories got deleted. I had 15 stories on this site that I really liked and they're all gone from my list. Don't know how to find them anymore. Welp. Guess they have a database glitch...

 

[cb3082]

Yeah, I just woke up today and all of my favorites are gone, I don't know what happened.

 

[Erozetta]

Uhh, yeah, I didn't even check my favorites list. I had about 18 on there. The lists I've made are still there, the favorites list is empty now.

 

[TheWritingGroup]

Yeah, mine are also gone.

[Erozetta]

Mine appear to be fixed now.

 

[cb3082]

Mine is fixed too now, all of my favorites seem to be back, thank God.

 

[ElectricBlue]

Yep, mine are back where they were. Glitch fixed. Something went wrong during the sweeps, I guess.

Came here to say this for my account.

Between 9am and 11am EDT today (3/31).

Favorites dropped by 29 from 49, recovered after two hours.

Reading Lists dropped 49 out of the original 156 - hasn't recovered yet.

As for sweeps, I've dropped 5 votes on my best-performer since Saturday morning.

I have all of my favorites, but they are all jumbled up, no longer wanting to sort correctly. I have favorites on the first page that's a mix of stories I fav'd a few weeks ago, to YEARS ago. It also seems to reshuffle each time.

The same thing happens to me, there are even stories that appear 2 times in the favorites list while other stories do not appear.

 

[theboss762]

My list is completely messed up. Not only are my stories not sorting by date added, but duplicate favorited stories are repeat populating on the next pages. The same 10 stories keep showing up on pages 1-10 even though I had 244 stories saved

 

[Smuttyandfun]

I had a new story drop yesterday. It got four favorites and only one showed up on the author's dashboard , but three showed up on the category page. So, I'm a little confused. I've had several other stories favorited over the last day or so, but only a few of them showed up on the author's dashboard.

Anyone know what's going on?

I'm in the same boat with Something. The works page shows 10 favorites yet, I count 30 notifications. Does the "Favorite" designation mean anything? Does it boost the story in ratings?

"Favorite" is misleading. It can also mean "added to a List." No, favorites have no effect on ratings.
