The full list of stories rated are under My Story Ratings. https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/myratings/

I did reboot about 30 min ago of the server to clear some issues. @Wayne Gray There is an intermittent issue where some people, including myself, have a 1 min delay or so when the system is rebuilding your story recommendations. This happens every 24 hours or so on your first visit to the story system. If you are not using suggestions, you can turn them off completely in your account settings in the stories section.

Nope. It's sorting by review score. None of the top 5 are more than a few years old.
-
oh, forgot to answer this one. It's because the tool is using "AND" as a logical operator. By adding something different like "Fantasy" and "Western" you'll end up with little to no stories. As this tool is intended to assist those who weren't successful in using the filters by filtering the system for them, I removed a variable that was most likely to lead to no results, and then comments like "This thing doesn't work because it never gives me stories."
-
Attacks happen all the time. especially the last few weeks with all the major security flaws they found in Cpanel. The whole internet has been under heavy attack.
-
Yes. But we don't have the pleasure of being able to afford having a nice high-end system like Cloudflare or other cloud-based mitigation systems.

It is literally giving you the lastest stories. The archive has no concept of Series in that situation. As book one of a series is clearly not the latest. That said, if the description of that story is interesting, just click on the Series link and go to the series instead of loading the latest story of the series. To whomever said they can't figure out how to navigate stories in a series in the survey... That's a Link. Click it.

Our server was under heavy attack from Portugal last night, and the firewall automatically blocked access from that country. It should clear itself soon

Ah, ok. That makes sense. You only sorted on genres and those three have a lot of crossover. You will get more variety if you do something besides just sort on those genres.
-
That’s unlikely using the tool. Please provide exact choices so I can reproduce.
-
So, as some strong feedback in our survey, finding stories was an issue. I was able to create a quick Guided Search tool to help people find stories faster until we're on the new software, which has a better search function. Try it out. https://gayauthors.org/guidedsearch/ What do you think?

How do I find more stories like the ones I like? (suggested stories)
Myr posted a question in Reader Questions
How do I find more stories like the ones I like? (suggested stories) There are three ways to find suggested stories that are like the stories you already like: Go the the "My" Menu (My Collections for Readers, My STories for Authors) and select My Suggested Stories This will automatically filter stories by the suggestions "More Like" and "Less Like". You can go to the Sort option on the menu and sort by Suggestions (More) or Suggestions (Less) Option 3, once you have rated / reacted / reviewed for a few stories, you'll start seeting the Less Like / More Like scale on stories that tells you whether the story you are looking at is similar to other stories you've enjoyed in the past. -
Gay Authors has an Opt In Reading History Option that will track your reading history. You must activate it for it to be used. Go to Stories Go to the "My" Menu, for readers it will say "My Collections". For Authors, it'll say "My Stories" Select "My Reading History" Read the agreement that you understand that the system will track what you read. Check the box to confirm you read it. Then click "Setup Reading History" Now when you read stories, they'll be tracked in 2 locations - the My Reading History area AND on every story you have read.
