Some attempts to read certain chapters in certain stories leads to a page with a 503 error; refreshing doesn't fix it.

observation on fraudulent FF.Net behavior

I've learned that FF.Net pretends that its story servers and its browsing server are one and the same, allowing it to fraudulently claim full functionality when only the latter is up. So any report of it being up should be taken with a major grain of salt

TTS Freezing

I’ve been having issues with the TTS feature on the app lately. It constantly freezes and buffers. It happens after every paragraph. This hasn’t started happening until earlier this month (April). It could be resulting from the recent server issues, but I don’t know for certain.

The site does not work, it does not allow you to access the stories because ther godd%mn "we're checking that you're not a robot" crap keeps on rolling and rolling and rolling on a loop. This site is utter crap, it gets worse and worse as time goes on, it's obvious that the site owner and admins don't give a crap about their users. I'm giving up on it and moving to another, better, site.

Following the tragic loss of my husband, a U.S. citizen, to a heart attack caused by a scammer, I was able to recover my Bitcoin through the help of Brunoe Quick Hack.
Seeking assistance from brunoequickhack AT DOT Gmail Com in the cyber domain proved fruitful as we successfully recovered the funds for myself and my children. The sorrow of my husband's untimely demise due to scammers remains a poignant memory. I stand firm against scammers and urge everyone to rally together in seeking retribution.

They said they were going to fix the traffic stats... And of course it was a lie. The traffic stats are still broken and something tells me they will remain broken. Those who should make sure that the site is in good working order don't seem to care, the admins don't seem to care, the owners donìt seem to care...And us users are left with a defective product.

Traffic stats still broken as of today, december 17th. Are they working on it? we don't know. are they going to fix it? We don't know. And this after that whole email fiasco that took two months to fix. Fanfiction.net is not worth the trouble anymore. Migrating to Ao3 is the only option to avoid a headache because of Fanfiction.net's constant shit.

FFNET user but probably not for much longer

The traffic stats feature is still not working. No news on it, no hope to see it solved anytime soon.
FFNET keeps on giving us headaches with all the $hit they pull: traffic stats not working, emails not working, trouble with login (they keep on changing the goddamned login procedure every other day!), pages not showing because the redirect doesn't work properly...I'm disappointed, really. If things keep on breaking at the drop of a hat, I'll jut leave for another, better, fanfiction forum like other writers have done before me.
It's just sad that they can't keep the site working well enough that poeple are forced to choose between enduring the trouble or leaving.

Traffic stats still not working after nearly three months and they took two friggin' months to fix the email alerts after trying to put the blame on our email providers to save face. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Guest      339 days ago  # + 0 -

They took two months to fix the email alerts problem, they didn't even acknowledge the problem at first and instead blamed the users' email services for the dieesrvice. Even now it's only fixed partially (I haven't received the old emails yet and I probably never will). It's to be noticed that the same problem has happened in the past, they don't seem to ever learn from their mistakes. Also, the "story stats" feature has been broken from nearly three months now. The site quality leaves a lot to be desired.

What a mess.

Website has been having issues since September: Blank screens, notifications that alerts are blocked on my end, barebones search page that do not show stories but have a search/filter setup, and constant looping check on anything outside of Chrome. Very frustrating, and I am sure writers are pulling their hair out at the lack of activity on their stories as well as any issues on their end.

I'd hazard a guess the whole adoption of Cloud check thing is to blame.
