Hi,

When I log in to the web site and go to Browse Nominated Stories, I thought
I would get a list of all stories, since I haven't set any filters yet. But
I get a message that there are 246 items on the list, out of supposedly 729
completed nominations. How do I get a list of all stories?

Chris

Hi Chris,

That is an odd one. I just went to the site and Browse Stories is showing me the complete
list.

You had just logged into the site when this happened? You haven't done anything else on
the site first?

It sounds like it thinks the filter had been used. Hmm. Perhaps something was left in your
browser's cookies from a previous session. Try reloading the page. If that doesn't work,
log out and log back in. If THAT doesn't work, try quitting the browser and try again. If it
still doesn't work after all that, let me know! :-)

Hi Chris

I just went and looked, and you have 484 stories on your "Skip" list -
you can see these if you select "Skip" in the "Review Status" filter.
(And 484+246 would give the total of 730 stories nominated.)

I'm not sure if you intended to put all these stories on your "Skip"
list, but that's why they're not showing up in your unfiltered list.

You can use the "Remove From Skip/Wish List" link on each story to
remove them from your Skip list and see them on the main list again.

Hey Tanaqui,

D'OH! I always forget about that "Skip" thing. *blushes*

Do you think for next year we should add something to that info bar, that says "You have X
skipped stories" and "You have X stories on your wish list"?

That sounds like an excellent idea to me - do you want to add it to the
to-do list you're putting together for us?

Hmm, I should have read all messages before replying. That is new to me that stories on the skip list will not show up any longer on the main list. I thought when I don't specify any filter, I would get the complete list. Ok, now the mystery is cleared.

And, yes, these stories are intentionally placed on the skip list. I don't think I will be able to read everything on my wish list. I divided all stories between wish list and skip list. Now that nomination season is over, I will divide my wish list into stories I will definitely read and stories I try to get to. These will go on an artificial NoWish/NoSkip list. If I still have time after all these stories, I will look at my Skip list again. There are too many stories to waste my time paging through all the stories to find one I want to read today. Having the lists in a more manageable, size gives me more of a sense of accomplishment.

Unfortunately, my reading time is limited. But I discovered because of reading for the Mefas in previous years that my topics of interest have increased, so it is even harder this year to whittle the stories down to a manageable portion.

Hi Aranel,

I use 2 computers, one at work and one at home to access the site. Both computers show me 246 stories when I log in. I shut down both computers when I'm done with them, so I log in every time anew. I saw this behavior for quite some time already, but now I want to make sure that I don't miss out on anything.

I played around a bit with the filters, and when I use the wish list, skip list, Review list and no list filter I managed to get to all stories (I think). At least the numbers on these lists add up to 730.

Chris
