I have tried a few times over the past week to look at my followers on the site. Each time, I get a "Failed to fetch" message. I had not tried to look at my followers' information in quite some time. Is this simply a short-term issue as the site implements changes to the author dashboard, or is it a problem with my account?

I was only checking now because I had taken some time off from writing and I was curious how many people had begun following me since mid-December when I resumed putting new material on the site.

Thank you for the report and sorry about the problem.

Can you let me know exactly where (the URL) you are seeing the "failed to fetch" message?

I tested it with my account in all the places I could think of, but I likely have a lot less followers than you. :D

If you can let me know the exact URL, I will do more testing.

Thank you again.
 
Should I put a post about this in the AH to see if anyone else is having the same issue? I figure it might be helpful to see if that's the case--either you can narrow down the types of accounts that are having the issue or we can figure out if it's just me.
 
Okay, I posted in the AH and got a few replies. None of them have this issue, and they use a variety of browsers including MS Edge and Chrome. I also e-mailed a few other authors. The only other author who has the same issue is TryAnything. Like me, he gets that "Failed to fetch" message. I've sent e-mails to a couple of other authors who have lots of followers to see if that is the issue--if it is only accounts that have 3000+ followers or something like that.
 
Okay, I have heard back from a couple more folks who have a lot of followers, and the consensus seems to be that once you get above a certain threshold, you can't access your followers list any more. Not everyone gets the same "Failed to fetch" message that I got, but nobody with 3000+ followers can access that function.

I have no idea what the actual "threshold number" is. I know I had no problem accessing it a year or so ago when I had about half the number of followers that I do now--roughly 1750.
