This has been an issue for almost four months now, so I'm not holding my breath.
Kudos to Longhairfish who looks to be doing his best to get this sorted out, but I do wonder if this is being taken seriously by the owners of this site. I know Imagefap is free to use, which perhaps limits our right to complain, but someone is making an income from this site, so I think we deserve better, given that we add the content that drives the click-throughs.
This is just the latest issue concerning a statistics/analytics feature that was barely fit for purpose even before this problem came up. Here's what I observe:
1) Look at the Views figures assigned to each pic in a Gallery - you have to divide by three to get the real number.
2) Logged on and found 56 Favourite Alerts have come in overnight? Would you like to see all the people who liked your posts? Forget it - the Alert list does not scroll, so you can only ever see the most recent 25 alerts.
3) Sometimes you'll see a Gallery 'Favourited' more than once by the same User. I think this means they have added individual pics from your Gallery to their Favourites. Want to know which pics are so popular? No way of knowing - yet the Comments Alerts tell you which pic attracted the comment.
4) Let's say you have 150 Galleries posted. Want to know which ones had the most views in the last day/week/month? Forget it - every time you generate a report, it lists the Galleries in what appears to be a random order. This is so basic - you should at the very least be able to click at the top of the column to order the Galleries by Name or by Number of Views. A half-decent system would have the option to export the report to Excel.
The points I've raised might seems a bit obsessive, but part of the fun of uploading stuff is being able to know which posts are more popular. As Longhairfish said on 18th December "I know some of you guys like the numbers".
I'd be interested to know if anyone else feels as strongly about this.
