I was just wondering why every book that I look up has a Rating of No votes? This shows up for all books, even for ones that I know have been rated. Once I submit a rating for a book it shows that there have been other votes cast. Then if I come back to the same book sometime later it shows No votes again. Are you aware of this glitch?

Thanks,
Greg

Well, it's a new one on me....

Welll, I experienced a slightly different version: two books (one of which I rated long ago, one I never rated, namely "The Anubis Gates" and "Declare" both by Tim Powers) both appeared with "No Votes" but when I rated both, they reappered with more than one vote (11 and 2 respectively).
So this is analogous to what gpacking had. But for me, the number of votes is still 11 and 2 now. Maybe he waited longer than I did...

I'll reset the ratings table and see if that helps at all.

This seems to be a recurring problem since WEM went live (I had posted a bug on it the first time I noticed). The underlying ratings don't disappear, but all books display as if they have no ratings, and continue to do so until either someone comes along and enters (or re-enters) a rating, or one of the admins forces a reset of the ratings table.

which I just did

problem solved?

by **clong** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 2:39 pm

Yes and thanks! Problem solved (at least until next time it happens).

well, it's a simple enough process. I can access it from the Masters screen (similar to the Editorial Tools and Admin screens) and it takes about a minute and a half to run the script. Any time the problem crops up, just give a yell (I tend to respond quicker than Steven does during the day).

This seems to have happened again. Please reset the ratings table.

While I realize that I have absolutely no clue what you guys are talking about, if the data reappears when something is updated, that sounds like the data's really still there but that an index to that data has been lost/corrupted.

Thank you!

This has happened again.

by **S.Jeffery** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 7:34 am

fixed

by **Zybahn** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 9:22 pm

And again.

by **tollbaby** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 8:09 am

should be fixed.

We have quite a few new users entering ratings. Could that be affecting things Scotty?

by **Zybahn** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 9:37 am

Yet again.

(I just hope this mysterious "resetting" is a simple task on your end.)

by **tollbaby** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 9:43 am

Fixed. Yes, it's a question of clicking a link. It does put a bit of load on the server, but it's simple and straightforward.

by **Zybahn** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 11:10 pm

Once more.

by **tollbaby** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 11:51 pm

should be fixed.

by **gpackin** » Fri Nov 30, 2007 11:13 am

And yet again.

by **tollbaby** » Fri Nov 30, 2007 12:44 pm

Should be fixed. Again.

by **gpackin** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 7:52 am

Guess what? Yup, again.
