Hi Marta and MEFA gang -

Before I wrote my last review, I decided to look at other reviews
about the story to make sure I didn't repeat what others said. In the
"Browse Stories" results, this particular story was listed as having

>2 reviews. But when I hit that greater than 2 mark, only one review

popped up.

So I decided to look at the reviews of my story "13th Birthday" by
clicking on its ID. My browser displayed a single page of the most
recent reviews but at least four older reviews weren't listed. I
received the same results by going to "Read Reviews", choosing my
name, and then hitting select.

So what's the deal? My earlier reviews were on pages that I marked as
read. Is that why I can no longer see them, or is there something
wrong with the database lookup? As far as the MEFAs are concerned, I'm
not particularly in it to win it, but I would like credit for all my
reviews, as I'm sure everyone else would, too. I'd be reassured that
my problem is purely pilot error and I just did the wrong thing to
view my reviews.

Hi Steff,

Yes, if you marked them as read, they will be hidden. There is a link above the filter box
that says "Show Marked Reviews". Try clicking on that.

I have eight reviews show up for you on the Reviews page for "13th Birthday". Is that
correct?

Yes, that's right. You'll no longer see reviews that were on pages
you've marked as read on the default view.

You can still see all the reviews if you click on the "Show Marked
Reviews" link just above the filter with the drop down choices. The ones
you've marked as read will show up in pink.

Hi Steff,

My guess is that people have entered either draft or hidden reviews.
Remember, when you enter a review you give it a status (draft, hidden,
or final). Only final reviews are visible. (Hidden will be visible at
the end of the awards; draft are never shown.)

So, what I think is going on is, someone entered draft or hidden
reviews, which the website registes as a review entered. But it's not
displayed because it's not a final review.

If you'll tell me what story you're looking at, and I'll look into it
for you.

Hope that helps!

Marta

Thanks to Aranel and others -

My home computer is in the process of being replaced so I only now have
the opportunity to respond. Thanks for your help. What confused me is I
did not mark my earlier reviews specifically as "read." I marked the
whole page that they appeared on as read. In my haste yesterday before
taking down my old computer, I probably missed the "Show Marked Reviews"
box. Pilot error, sez I, red faced with embarassment. Thanks for your help.
