I swear!!! Gah!!

How is it the search engine gives me so much grief!? ><* It's completely unbelievable how the search engine is always experiencing "Technical Difficulties". I mean really, FF, can you fix you're search engine once and for all. It's making me constantly PO'ed.


Feb. 20, 2011: I think it stopped working. I'm searching for Devil May Cry Fanfics and I narrow my search and only one result comes out. That's never happened before. Now, unless everyone who wrote fics for DMC took them down on a whim in the last 2 weeks, then it should act like that. But since this is FF.net I wouldn't put it past another "Technical Difficulty" Why-oh-why FF? Why? Why can't you just work for once in your life?

Honestly, it does this to me quite often, too. And what's weird is, I'll go back like ten, fifteen, or so minutes later and it will work. Then go back to not working.

I hate the FFN search engine with a passion. Ever since they dumbed it down (under the guise of 'people claimed it froze their comps'; bullshit) it has been buggy as hell. It's ridiculous how a simple search has now turned into such a tedious process - and that's if you don't experience an ever present 'technical difficulty'.



STATS DOA

My stat counter on both ff.net and Fiction Press are both not counting yet alerts and reviews on both.

Stats appear to have started again. I got my first hit today.

Why oh why does the search engine have to be so annoying!!!!!! When ever you click update or publish date only one story shows up? >_<

(Anonymous) 2011-02-23 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, I got one result too. I ended up clicking on the one story and then clicking on the series name/link in it - which brought me to the page(s) with all the stories. It's an indirect way to get the same result as a search, but it works.

Has anyone noticed that Tuesday's and Wednesday's hits seem oddly few? That's happened to my account, but it's also happened to a C2 community I run that normally gets a ton of hits, and it looks bizarre. It's like the counter has been working sporadically since Monday.

Where did the alerts go?

(Anonymous) 2011-02-28 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Only I updated and now the alerts aren't being sent out!

Stats dead again tonight?

Anyone? Anyone?
