Watched dates disappearing

[tylergfoster]

I just forgot I wasn't mass editing my collection for this reason and deleted the watch dates for my entire owned collection doing some minor tweaks. Please, someone figure out why this is happening and fix it, I'm very upset that if I want that information in there (and I do) I now have to go back in and add all of it again.

I can think of a few reasons.

I would be too. I have two words for you:

Backups, Mother****er!

...is backing up the information I have put in the website even possible?

To be clear, I have that data written down. It's not lost, it's just lost from the website. The frustrating part is / will be putting it all back in again. Not gonna do anything about it until I know this is fixed.

The thing is, this IS a glitch. It happens when I select all / edit all on a page. So to put in watched dates again would mean selecting each title and editing it individually as well.

It definitely sounds like a bug. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be easily replicated, and we just don't have the time to look into it in detail right now, but we'll make sure to do it as soon as we get the time.

A bit of an update. It looks like the information is not actually being deleted. When I am looking at it in the old edit view (the kind that opens when you click on the gears or when you do "select all / edit all", the dates are invisible. However, when you go to the individual pages and click on the "owned" button and it pops up that window, then the dates are still present. I can also sort by date and the titles appear to sort properly, although I didn't look closely to see if all titles were present.

Sure. You can always manually download the page. Granted, an export option for things other than collection lists would be nifty.
