Resolved My Story not appearing on the search

Ask him on NU?

Yes, I emailed my concerns to [email protected] just as a backup. But I haven't heard from that end either.

How exactly is a translation being detected? I mean, how does that work?

We (users) check it manually and then report.
We log everything here, if you are interested: https://msga.decaded.dev

is there ANY chance of an error, that you folks could mistakenly report a translation, or some kind of program erroneously flags something as a translation??

No.

 

[LeilaniOtter]

No.

*deep breath*

then why is my work being blocked...?

There is always a chance for an error.
But we have multiple eyes going over it before it is reported. So we are always sure that what we report is indeed a translation.
If we aren't 100% certain that it is a translation, we do not report.

No idea. Possibly some automated systems Tony implemented (at least that's what I heard, no idea if true) might be getting wonky.
If your works were reported by us, they would be in our database (like everything else).

Yes, I did a search for any of my books there and nothing came up. So, I can cross off "translations" as a problem. Thank you. Sorry, just frustrated and it's not just me.

Go to one of your books, report it and in the report field explain your problem and ask for help.

Tony has been away for more than 2 weeks by now, probably on vacation. There is a bigger chance that mods will react to a report made through there than opening a thread on the forums.

I didn't go by tags but by keywords. Strange turns up seven titles. Awakening nine. Strange Awakening only one - mine, which is not on either sub-list.
There is something a bit off with the search engine, I fear.
Even stranger - search for Diamond turns up seven titles - both of mine (Blood Diamond, Diamond in the Rough) and five others. Has it always only returned seven titles (with no second, third, etc. page)?
Er, nah, got twelve with "Rough" - though most of them were "Through" ...

I received an email from Scribble Hub admin.
The bot that is handling the site is having a problem with book covers apparently.
It's possible that people with search troubles might have to remove their book covers for now while this is being worked on.

So it really is a problem with covers, huh?

Apparently so.
I don't know if removing covers will do any good but others can give it a try and see. I just checked and my books now show up in searches, and "Murder in the Water" was shown in "Latest updates". So...yay. *^^*

 

[RealityCheckStories]

It seems we've cracked it. My story now shows up in search.....and the cover I had uploaded is gone. I doubt it's a coincidence. It must be cover related alright. There are quite a few NSFW covers already on the site though, much more revealing then mine.

I'm glad it's just a bot problem. Still, this problem going on for over two weeks without any official word is a bit of a pisstake to be honest. That's way too long.

 

[SamuelSpirits]

This is probably a dumb question, but how exactly do you remove a cover? When I go to "Edit series" I seem to only be able to click on the old cover to replace it, not remove it entirely.

Edit: Oh strange, my series just started showing up in search even without the cover change.

 

[LeilaniOtter]

Yes, admin contacted me after deleting all the covers and everything works fine now. I'd still like to eventually get the covers back but it was the covers causing the problems. We solved the mystery! *^^*
