Last year's reviews - possible glitch? Posted by mvoltfan July 01, 2012 - 11:20:17 Topic ID# 11247
Hey all -

I was looking at the site and see it has been updated with the stories that competed last years...or at least, I saw my story that competed. The reviews I received don't seem to be there, though, and I was wondering if there was some kind of glitch about the upload. I think there should have been 13 (there might have been more): instead, I see the last review I received, from the exquisite IgnobleBard, repeated three times:

http://archive.mefawards.org/story_info.php?story=487&year=2011

I also wondered if we have any history of author responses we made to reviews received? The onus was probably on me to make a back-up, but I failed to do that, so I figured I'd ask.

Hi Lauderdale,

Sorry about that. With everything that's been going on recently, I had to
abandon my work on getting the archive updated. I only managed to get the
2011 stories uploaded. There had been a glitch with importing the reviews
(we have an entirely new database format starting in 2011, so I can't use
the same methods used in previous years), but I never got back to fixing
it. I'll go delete the reviews that are in there for now (just from the
archive, the original reviews are still in my copy of the 2011 awards
database).

The archive is on the back burner right now while we deal with everything
else. Review replies will be included with the import, but I really have no
idea when I'll be able to get back to working on the archive at this time.
If there is a particular review or reply you are looking for, I can try to
find it for you in the database after the awards are under way (next
weekend?).

Thanks,
Aranel

"The archive is on the back burner right now while we deal with everything else."

That's perfectly understandable. Thank you for your quick reply.
