"Search for: New" in Review Content tab doesn't work

The "Search by: New" option in the Foundry Review Content tab doesn't work: when I tried it yesterday (the 20th), I didn't see my own mission that I'd published on the 18th, but did see a lot of others including one foreign-language one that I know has been around for months.
I think this is important, as that function's the only way I can see for reviewers to see that a new mission has arrived in Review Content; without that, nobody would know it was there unless someone else told them.

When the Foundry comes back up, stop being a Reviewer and then join up as a Reviewer again. For some reason, you can't always see your own newly published missions right after becoming a Reviewer.

Hasn't changed, I'm afraid. Thanks for the suggestion though.

There's a few things that might be going on.

1. Publishing system seems like its down at the moment. If you try now you'll see that at ~50% the publish fails (but the time stamp on last edit/publish will be updated.) I suspect this started with the downtime last Thursday but its possible there could have been something up before then (ex. by the 18th.) So, your mission may not actually be up there. Double check your mission list in the editor and be sure to look at the publishing status underneath the title, not the time stamp for confirmation.

2. Missions in the "new mission" tab may not be sorted chronologically. So if you're just browsing the list your mission may not be there if there are more mission that count as "new" than can be displayed. Be sure that you're searching for your mission, not just looking for it. If its not there, I'd suspect its a publishing problem (so try again once that system comes back online). If you can find it by searching, then its just a weakness of the UI that's keeping it from showing up while browsing.

Update on what hasn't worked.

1. Persistence
2. Publishing as KDF
3. Publishing from archive as KDF
4. Publishing while in the middle of another publish
5. Watching it publish
6. Going back to holodeck while publishing
7. Leaving an offering to the gods of technical fixes (didn't take the money)

My apologies...I thought you couldn't search. If it's a case that you can't see when you hit new, unfortunately that's not new. I've never been able to see my new missions just by calling up the new missions in the interface.

I'm happy to play your mission. Just let me know the name and start point

Cheers!

Thanks for the offer! And thanks for the information, both of you. Yes, it definitely is there when I do a search for it (this one: Junior Academy Training Mission 2).

So the "New" search doesn't list missions in order of date, it lists missions newer than a certain date but ordered by rating as usual? Well, so it's "working as intended" then (presumably?) but I still think it needs fixing - if you think about it, the ones that are newest and haven't been played at all yet would come last on that system as they'd still have a zero rating!

If possible, I have the exact same problem. If you want to check mine out, it's called The Jefferson Secession. I put an enormous amount of work into it, but the review content algorithm didn't put it in. It would be great if you could give it an HONEST review.

I've just finished playing through "The Jefferson Secession", and left an honest review, as requested - saying honestly that it's first class. Enjoyed it no end. I recommend it to any of you reading this thread. Plaustrum, I've sent you detailed notes, saying where there are any blips (there are always some in any mission, someone else always has to proofread to catch the last few).

Back on-topic: I can confirm that "The Jefferson Secession" still doesn't appear in the "New" list, despite now being higher-rated (even in the rating that's adjusted for number of reviews) than some of the ones that do. Neither does mine. And the ones that do appear in the "New" list include at least one that's at least 9 months old. Something is wrong here.

Same problem here. I can't find my mission, anybody can.
