This site seems to be a bit buggy with the ratings. When the update was done a couple days ago, that reset the genres, it seems to have also messed up the ratings. My story went from hero to fanboy. I also noticed that several other properties now have a rating of "undefined" - that seems bugged. In general I don't understand the ratings on this site. Some stories are beating mine, but have fewer collectors, comments and ratings?? Is there something im missing, or is that also a bug ??

    Hey, Peter: I almost didn't recognize you! A quick glance around here at the ratings seems to work like this: The score is an average of all the ratings you have received for your work. I have only received three ratings so far, but all were hero ratings (5 stars - thanks, Dad!), so that jumped me right into first place (LOL). While anyone who has, say, 28 Hero ratings and two Fanboy ratings will be only 4.9 or whatever, and thus will be rated lower. I am sure this will all be "fixed" somehow so that we can get eight killer stories into this anthology!

    As TK pointed out, it looks like a single 5 star rating could put you in first place. Likewise, if you upload your story close to the deadline, you could get zero ratings and end up in last place. Neither is at all a true indicator of merit compared to the other pitches. Fortunately, my understanding is that there will actually be a panel of judges selecting the final 8 stories.

    One man's undefined is another man's hero, or something like that I guess!

    And to be fair, it does say "undefined" for me too. I can tell by the number of stars that are lit up.

    Another buggy thing that's been bothering me, I haven't been able to write in the notes of new community members. It vanishes after I hit submit. Anyone else having this problem?

    Yeah its not just me. whew, I was about to start re-installing things. I guess I'll assume my Buddha pose and wait for the fixes. Besides my coffee maker is on the fritz and that takes precedence on my fix it list !!

    Hey gang, can you guys point out the stories and memoirs that have "undefined" ratings? I just went through all the ones I could find and didn't see any.

    Seb, every pitch I opened on the Read Memoirs page had little star/people guys lit up in the upperhand corner with "undefined" next to it. Each and every one. Does that help?
