Hi MEFA folks -
I could not successfully retrieve the reviews of my stories from the
database. I keep getting "0 results" from a number of different
searches. I want to write thank you notes to my reviewers but I can't
access their reviews. What's the secret for querying the database?

Steff,
Have you been reading reviews and marking them all along? If so, the
review page won't show the ones you've read and marked unless you hit
the 'show marked reviews' link. The marking code is supposed to help
you keep track of the reviews you've read. It does this by noting the
date of the last review you've read for any given story, and only
showing you reviews after that date.
I was able to the reviews of your stories by going to 'Read Reviews',
choosing you from the author list (stefaniab) and hitting 'display
selected nominations' (which really ought to say something else,
shouldn't it).
I am seeing 18 items on the list.

Hi Steff,
I just checked and got the same results as Anthony. I also went and
looked at your reviews just now, but I have been marking reviews as I
went along. However, when I told the website to display reviews that I
had already marked, it showed me eighteen of your reviews.
I want to add to something Anthony said: if he is correct and you have
been marking them all along, then you need to click the "Show Marked
Reviews" link. This is above the drop-down lists where you selected
the author from to show just reviews of your stories. Clicking on this
link will show all the reviews submitted for your stories, even those
that you have marked as read.
If this isn't the problem please let me know.
Marta
Thanks, Marta. I had been marking all my reviews. That's why I was
getting 0 responses when searching under my name. I clicked on "Show
Marked Reviews" and that did the trick. Now I just have to send out the
emails to everyone.
Thanks,
Steff
