Sessakag Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hi, I’ve gotten 4 reviews for three of my stories, but the emails are empty, when the site comes back online fully, will those reviews become readable for me or are they just lost to the ether? Thank in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 As far as I’m aware, users may be attempting to review, but can’t yet. That could be what’s triggering the emails. Sessakag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeGlass Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I got another empty review late last week. It's frustrating because the reviewer doesn't get an error message, so they walk away believing that they have successfully left a review.

Desiderius Price Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 My guess is those reviews are lost to the ether, as the database is in read-only mode. IF my suggestion’s easy/fast to implement, it’s to put a spanner into the works, so to speak, do basically disable the review.php script so the user gets a 403/404 error instead of being led into thinking their hard crafted review actually made it to the author. (Of course, that’ll change this tech support topic to “why is reviewing busted”?) If it helps, @GeorgeGlass I’ll lie and claim that it was a beautiful and glorious review…. or that it was a flame and this empty review is better GeorgeGlass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxWench Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Given everything that’s going on in the archive at the moment, I’d be loath to disable reviews right now. It seems like everything we do to try and help turns around and bites us on the ass lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
