I didn't make a note of it, but if I remember, a couple of days ago,
the number of stories with 2 reviews or less was well over 700 of the
1226 nominated. As of now, it's down to 686.

- browsing the pages, it looks like most of them do have a review or
two,

...I'm not seeing any zeros!! (Is that true or did I miss some?)

Keep up the good work!!

There are some stories, probably more than "some", that don't yet have
any reviews, but I know the number has gone down a bit. May it
continue to drop.

Pink...?

Should I be aware of this when I'm reviewing? Or is this an admin
screen thing?

I'm not sure what I'm seeing. When I look use the filter and browse
the stories with "2 reviews or fewer", I'm not seeing any with 0
reviews, but when I filter by category, I'm still seeing quite a few
with no reviews. :(

Thanks Dwim ... not as happy as I was a minute ago, but I'll keep

uummmm... I thought everyone could see them. ...? They look like
they're being reviewed so I thought I should mention it.

Hm. Weird! I'd not used that filter before, I just have been watching
particular authors' fics to see which ones are getting reviewed, which
not, and I know which of my own fics haven't (yet, I hope) gotten a
review.

I've also never seen the pink show up before. It must be tied to
certain filters since I know I've skimmed through every page in every
category to see what was in them over the course of reading season.
When I get my ballots for a particular category, the pink doesn't show
up, but it may also be that neither do the withdrawn stories.
Certainly the words "No stories withdrawn on this page" have appeared
before.

*smacks self*

Mystery solved. That "2 or fewer" filter is tied to stories that *you*
have actually reviewed. That means there will *always* be at least one
review for every story listed through that filter--yours.

So of course no zeroes are showing up. We don't have a filter that
sorts reviews independently of the reviewer currently logged in.

no, that can't be true. I've reviewed just over 100, and that count
read 638 or something.

if you go to 'overview' and 'browse stories' and look at the lower
filter, you have several options, most of them are only for stories
you've reviewd, but I'm pretty sure the bottom one "stories with 2
reviews or less" is for all of the stories. ...maybe everyone
doesn't have that option?

*sigh* again. Ok, I spoke too soon. There are some stories (not in
pink) that are showing up that I haven't entered a review for, as I
can see from the Actions menu on the right. Which explains why that "2
or fewer" filter gives me more pages of reviewed stories than the one
that shows me every review I've done so far. So it is, weirdly,
independent of me, even though nothing in that filter should be,
supposedly, unless the filter override warned to be in place also
overrides the filter that attaches everything to my ID.

So I don't get it. Either the stories without any reviews yet just
*happen* to be clustered in the middle of the 28 pages of fics
generated by the "2 or fewer reviews" filter, or it's a question to
pose to tech support.

Well, my poem "The Council of Elrond" was still showing 0 reviews this
morning. There may be draft or tentative reviews for it, but it doesn't have any
final reviews.

But great work!

Now I'm confused. I used that filter today. But I got way more hits than I
have ever reviewed. I found some nice stories I had never seen before.

I wrote to Anthony, to point out the problem and he said the filter queried
the review database and not the story database, so in effect a story has to
have a review in order to show up in the filter.
