THE Group for Authors! discussion

Hello authors,

We've added some new stats and a graph of your 5 most recent works onto the author dashboard. Please let us know what you think.

Thanks,
Mayanka

I'm getting the following error on my dashboard now:
The target-axis column(s) cannot be of type string

Maybe the "stats and graph" code needs a little tweaking?

Thanks for letting us know, Merrill. We'll get that fixed soon!

It loads fine on my Author page, not slow at all... maybe because I only have one book so far :)

I like the stats, not sure we need the graph to open automatically though. Perhaps there could just be a button to click on to view it.

I can't access my dashboard. It get's hung up and my computer crashes. Something is very wonky. I've tried several times and get the same result. I can go to other pages but not my own.

Not working - I get a code about a script that cannot complete.

Also: not all of my books are accessible from the 'author dashboard' - this has been true for some time. It shows two pages, where, once, there were four...so many titles are cut off - including the most recent one. All of the anthology contributions clutter the list - I could wish those could be managed differently.

I will enjoy seeing the new features - once they work I think they will be very helpful. I appreciate all the work going into this!

My dashboard works fine. Thanks for the stats.

The stats are loading fine now on my page. Looks great. I don't see the graph.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It sounds like the chart is loading too slowly for a lot of people. I'll get it removed soon, but keep the new stats on top.

Update: the chart is now a link on the "my books" section. Hope that helps!

Love the stats program. It allows us as authors to see what we are doing in terms of marketing that are result-oriented. I had an article in a newspaper that I was unaware of... able to see the spike in sales based on the published date. It's invaluable. Maybe not completely accurate, but excellent.

Hi

The stats are good. I am able to see all the books goodreads activity.

Suggestion: it should give more details like read, reviewed etc.

This will help authors to have single point from where all the books activity can be viewed

Thanks for pointing this out.
