 Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2003 12:24 am Post subject: Hit Counter |
 |
|
I know there were problems with the site the last few days. I was just wondering if anyone else's fics were affected.
Suddenly I couldn't find mine, I was getting ready to post a new fic and I'm so used to finding the fics I have up in a certain area but they were gone. That's when I started searching and realized the Hit counter had wiped out to zero and they'd been kinda lost.
Yes, I admit, I check the Hit counter out of idle curiosity from time to time and was kinda shocked tonight to find nothing.lol
Anybody else have this happen?

There were a few problems, but absolutely no data was lost when we had a glitch yesterday - there was just a problem displaying hte data on the screen.
Just checked the hit counter and it looks pretty accurate all round; the top stories are still there at the top.
Mine isn't.

My hit counter was a few days ago in the neighborhood of 500 ... today it has 22  . So, Kendra, you're not the only one who has noticed a problem! It's not really a big deal, but it's fun to know how many people have been checking out the fic ... at least the reviews have not been wiped up ... that would've really made me sad!

You know, that's because, for some reason, going to your story and pressing F5 many times doesn't seem to do the trick.  |

It's nice to know I didn't completely go loopy about the counter and such.lol Mine was the same thing, Maria, two stories were at the 400 and something mark another in the top three and last night when I logged in they were at zero, all but one fic. That was still plugging along. Your 20+ beat mine.lol 
And you're right, it's nice to know the hits just to see if your fic is being read. Oh well...
Sure it wasn't a full moon this weekend?lol This matched my week.lolol That's not supposed to happen, weekends are supposed to be for sleeping in and everything going right...yeah, I know, I wish.lolol

See, I can't remember to put everything in one post...sheesh. Kinda like how I misplace the car keys...anyhow...
Rob, when I meant lost, I didn't mean lost as in anything gone, just lost as in the fic wasn't where I'd left it. They had all gone to the last page, but one so I didn't see them when I got on the page. Sorry, about that, didn't mean to drive you bonkers, promise.

The original script (StoryLine) used to allow you to do that. But I'm cruel so disabled it
I could of course just go to the database and have a play - if I get the chance I'll do that for the stories mentioned above to see what might have hapenned, but I'm very confused.

Yup. that happened with "Eternally" also... I had remembered at one point that it was the second most-read story or something, but the other day the hit count was 23. 
Glad to hear it's not just me who checks the hit count. It's nice to know that people are at least clicking on it. |

OK, I'm been checking. I think I may have found out what went wrong (basically, the database errorred, but the code did not stop and still managed to update the databse, even though it failed to read from it).
I've fixed the hits (very roughly) on 13 stories based on the hits from a few weeks earlier: see below.
I'll work on the code later to try to ensure it never repeats.
***********
Replacing story 29 from 38 to 1279
Replacing story 47 from 3 to 181
Replacing story 48 from 2 to 120
Replacing story 70 from 22 to 540
Replacing story 112 from 11 to 278
Replacing story 111 from 34 to 1058
Replacing story 140 from 16 to 328
Replacing story 173 from 12 to 35
Replacing story 187 from 30 to 323
Replacing story 200 from 71 to 630
Replacing story 207 from 18 to 627
Replacing story 242 from 3 to 63
Replacing story 308 from 26 to 95

And I've now put a lot more error checking such that is the database goes walkabouts (like last time) this is trapped and nothing else will proceed.
(S'pose I should have done this in the first place, but it's done now )

Thank you, my love, for all your effort and time wasted on this. I say 'wasted' because it looks like no one's noticed it's been done. Shoulda left it.
do.

I noticed ! I noticed! Oh thank you he who thinks Boromir has a big nose. Let me kiss your technically gifted feet.
That's life mate. People only notice what hasn't been done. Try being a mum! |

Thank you, Rob, it's greatly appreciated!!
I'm sure more of us would have noticed sooner but if you live in the States, it's been the Holidays so play time is near nonexistant, before, during and the few days after.
So definitely don't think your hard work goes unnoticed and unappreciated! It is quite the contrary, very much appreciated.
Again, mucho thanks!

I did notice, so thanks Robbie for taking your time to fix the hit counter!
I did read the post a few days back ... should've replied then (I was actually ecstatic that my counter was up again!), but, as Kendra pointed out, we're in the midst of Holiday Chaos here in the US ... Thanksgiving preparations, parties, family get togethers and the dreaded Christmas countdown ... not to mention spending five days at my in-laws with no internet access, kids being out of school, and preparing for finals weeks ... tons of paperwork to grade, yuck !
OK, so it's all excuses, I know ... but it's better late than never and I don't want anyone to think that the efforts of everbody making this site work go unnoticed . So thanks again!
