ChrissyQuinn Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I noticed that one of my stories, Heart of the Forest, had its hit counter reset almost completely. I am just putting this heads up here in case it's a larger issue. I don't particularly care but it looks kind of fishy since it has ninety whatever rates and only forty hits.

DemonGoddess Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 We've seen that with a few, and that had to do with the rewrite of the hit counter itself. Why it only affected some stories, but not the bulk of them, I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissyQuinn Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Alright, I was just letting you know its there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vzon20011 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 BOOOOOO! I just found that my fan fiction story, [Kim Possible] "Afternoon affair" view hits went from 74K+ to 134. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Here's how I'm fixing this: I look up your stories in the subdomain in question. I compare dates, and take the adjustment from the stories in the date range of publication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vzon20011 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks for the effort DemonGoddess061. (Don't be offended) Still not right though. I was so looking forward to reaching that 100k mark sooner, but how can I prove it? Crap happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I have no way of verifying what the actual hit count was for the story, which is why I came up with the method above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TWO Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hey DemonGoddess - I have the same issue with the story "The Best Of..." in the Draco/Hermione sub-cat. It was 1877x when all the trouble started now it's 234. Been up for months. Hope your backups will allow an update to something closer. That kind of change does affect what stories get noticed/read - especially when you roll off the first page of a sub-category. Thanks for looking TWO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Provide me a link to the story so I can have a look please. As I said, this really only affected a few stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
