Houston...

We have liftoff.  :)  Everything's back up and running, at least for me!  Alerts, reviews, chapters, log-ins, etc.  Hurrah!

I love it! I was thrilled to find alerts in my inbox this morning.

Hurrah! I'm so glad that it didn't last as long as some of these downtimes do. Good timing!

i've gotten some alerts but my review count says i've gotten more than have actually shown up. so i don't think it's completely fixed yet.

I get alerts for reviews and the number of reviews has gone up but if I click the link to read the reviews, the new ones don't show up.

Things definitely aren't entirely fixed, but its a start.

I really wish that the admin would acknowledge the problems on the main web page. It's distracting that we see updates on minor issues, but no notice at all about the site being essentially crippled.

For them to actually acknowledge that things got broken would require the presence of avian porcine beings.

Same here, and those reviews were posted hours ago. They should be showing up for everyone by now.

I'm having the same problem. Everything works except for the new reviews and my Review History.

Here is a piece of info/rumor from FFNet's forums. Hopefully, it isn't true. But, I always save my work on a disc just in case.

What is going on with fanfiction?

Yesterday it wouldn't let you login, and today, you can't look at new reviews for your stories, I can't get no updates on emails, like someone updating a story.

I recently read something online from a former ff user, but I hope it is not true.

Apparently someone kept stealing other author's work, and a lot of people reported him. Now ff.net is getting into a lot of copyright issues and is now talking about closing the site down by the end of this year. Hopefully this is a lie, but with the way things have been going on lately, is ff.net, going to close now?

Huh... Does anyone know if Fictionpress is having the same type of problems? From what I can gather, everything functions except for the new review glitch/bug/problem. The Fan History Wiki houses some pretty interesting posts.

Okay. I was thinking they might have the "no reviews available for this selection error" for new FP stories today.

Well, I don't have an account there, but that is good to hear. IMO, they're most likely back-uped at FFNet. I guess we'll just have to wait and be patient for FFNet's staff.

Reviews I've posted are now showing up in my History and on the stories immediately. They are working for me at least. I hope they stay that way.

My reviews from two days ago, finally showing up.

(Anonymous) 2009-08-15 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
The admins wrote on the home page that it was some sort of "backlog" problem with the reviews. Was that why the accounts were down for three days?
