Hey! I posted a couple of days ago how 2 of my stories weren't loading. Now my "Works" page is also not loading. You can try for yourself here: https://www.literotica.com/authors/hephaestu5/works/stories

But my author page does load, you can try here: https://www.literotica.com/authors/hephaestu5

Has this ever happened to anyone? How did it get resolved?

I think I know why this happened...
•I've been writing a series "He Just Won't Listen" and the stories have been getting organized by the auto-series feature.
•But my stories in the auto series didn't have the story-linking widget at the bottom of the page, AND the auto-series wasn't letting me switch to manual management. (This probably happened because before the auto-series kicked in, I had tried to create the series manually myself and then deleted it. I was new to Literotica as an author and didn't know about the auto-series feature.)
•I then manually posted the series "He Just Won't Listen" again to fix those problems and it got approved on June 1.
•But then a lot of things started going wrong. First, my notifications weren't loading. Then Ch. 03 and Ch. 04 of my series wouldn't load. Then the auto-series "He Just Won't Listen" reappeared, and my "Works" page stopped loading as well.
•I posted about this in this Tech help forum, and other people confirmed that my stories and my "Works" page weren't loading for them either.
•I deleted the manually created series "He Just Won't Listen" series, but it still hasn't fixed the issues.

🫠 Please help...if you can. Thanks!
 
Just to confirm I also get a 500 error clicking on your works/stories link. But when I edit the URL with another author's name, it works fine. So, I can't help, but it's not just something weird in your browser/cookies/horoscope/etc.
 
I believe your Works Activity page (in the control panel) is private and connected to your account, that's why anyone else who accesses it gets the 500 error.
 
What I meant was the link hepheastu5 put in their first post:
https://www.literotica.com/authors/hephaestu5/works/stories

If you go to that and type another author's name in the URL box, whether your own or someone else's, it works fine: you can see it just as if you're enquiring from their profile page. For example, yours or mine:
https://www.literotica.com/authors/smilinglez/works/stories
https://www.literotica.com/authors/beechleaf/works/stories

So it's not private like a /my/ link, and in this case only hephaestu5's gets the 500 error.
 
Very interesting. I did a search for Members in the main search page. Brought up hephaestu5 without a problem.

The only time I don't get a 500 error is when I click on the Followers link and on the Avatar. All the other links result in a 500 error.

My guess - localized table corruption

Looks like this is another squirmy bug @Manu

Yes, that's exactly the issue! I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them, when part of their profile doesn't load for them nor others. And some of their stories also don't load for them nor others.
