THE Group for Authors! discussion

I have/had the same problem.

Hello, Happy Holiday Weekend to my fellow-lady Goodreads-ers in Canada. My profile shows 3 ratings and 0 reviews, what's the difference between the 2?, and, why aren't the reviews showing?, even though I know some people have posted reviews up to now, thanks, bye for now.

The database seems slower than usual these days...I usually see the numbers sync up within a few hours, but not today.

Similar problem: The post for one of my books says "3 ratings, 0 text reviews" although there are in fact two reviews. If you go to the book and scroll down they're there, but someone browsing will assume there are indeed no reviews and won't look for them. I don't think it's just a slow database; it's been like that for at least a week.

It can take a couple of days for reviews to sync with your dashboard.

Keep in mind ratings/reviews are for readers and they aren't something authors should obsess over :)

I'm well aware of that but it's been much longer than a few days. I want to sell books, and no-one is going to look at the reviews if they're told there aren't any.
