As well as the other bugs, published stories now not appearing on the author’s page of works

Has anyone seen any followers added since the changeover? Other notifications seem to be happening, but I haven't had a follower notification since 10/15, and looking at archive history I was getting 1-2 per day for the week before that. Follower counts dwindle between stories, but I haven't posted anything since 9/30, and I'd have expected the effect from that to have dwindled by 10/15, so it seems odd that it was such a sharp cutoff.

Yeah - I’ve had new follower notifications.

Correction: looks like I have two new followers in the past three days.

OK, I'll probably post my multipart epic later.

Dman was adding your stories to lists, too. He got like 4 of mine like 7 total times yesterday.

OK, looks like I passed my expiration date I've had plenty of longer periods with no new followers, it just seemed like suspicious timing. I wish I'd been watching the count.

However, I just encountered a comment (on Breakout) posted yesterday that I had no idea about. It isn't in the new feed (or archived).

Everything still feels really flaky

Put in a bug report for it.

I'm sure they have plenty to work on... I'm really mostly testing the water to see if it's safe to dive in.

And I did discover a missing follower. Looks like the followers table is sorted by follow date, so the last one will be the most recent. The one before that is the last one I saw in the archive, so one did sneak past. No way to know when, it could well have been when nothing was working.

Seriously, if you are willing to, put the report in. I think getting the new feed working reliably is near the top of Manu's list. Concrete mistakes are really useful to track down what is still broken.

Good point. Done. If it's not helpful they can ignore it. I hate adding to the noise, but at least I can be specific.

I just noticed another bug, if it's a bug and not something else. I'm on my phone now, and I can't see people's forum signatures - you know, the place at the bottom of our posts where we put link to our stories and maybe add some smartass motos. When I'm on my PC, everything is fine. Chrome in both cases.
Weird.

If you turn your screen to landscape they should show up.

Hah, damn. Would never have thought of that. Thanks.

I noticed this today as well.

If site managers are reading this, I hope previously missed notifications get posted so my readers can see the new stories.

Perhaps you could post a profile update to suggest your readers may have missed a notification. Won't catch anyone who doesn't read profile updates, but it might be better than going the notification happens

Who knows what will happen. I seem to have some notifications permanently missing (neither in current nor archive).

I just went and looked at the works page of one of the more prolific authors I follow, I only got a notification for one of their three most recent works.

Yeah - crap isn’t it?
