Posting here in case Metafic is not suitable...
I added a review to a series which is showing up on my stats2 page
with a blank heading, and the link which should lead to the review is
broken.

I hate that page. Really, I do.
I'm going to remove the series reviews from it since they weren't
supposed to be there at all.

Well, I like it. It allows me to keep track of what I've reviewed and
when, and to see if the author has replied. There is no way I could
possibly manage to revisit every single chapter I've ever reviewed
just on the offchance there might be a reply.
The only improvements I can think of for that page would be a link to
the author (which you can already get via the story, so that's not
really important) and some information as to whether the story has
been updated since the review.
This latter would actually be *very* helpful. I've got loads of old
reviews for stories which went into hibernation and it would be
marvellous to be able to see if they revived some way other than, as I
said just now, tediously revisiting each and every one just on the
offchance (siriusly, this is what we have computers *for*, shirly?).

So where are they supposed to show up? I like, as I said, the
convenience of having all my reviews in one place. Could you not fix
it so they show up properly instead? Please (with chocolate
sprinkles)?

I don't mind what the page is supposed to do. It's useful. The
problem is that it was written poorly. When I first looked at that
page, it was a security exploit waiting to happen.
If I ever take the time to implement any of the ideas you mentioned,
I'll have to write that page from scratch. It's probably going to
happen, but not in the near future.
As for the series reviews.... Well, the authors can't reply to those.
So it's not like the page will show you any responses.
Furthermore, the series reviews are seriously messed up and it's
possible I'll have to remove those too. The problem being that they
are currently working through major hacks, instead of being an actual
part of the site's functions.
We'll see...

Another thing...I just got an alert for a chapter which has not yet
been validated. Indeed, it is not even showing up on the "story page"
as having been uploaded.
This is the link in question:
http://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?sid=128169&chapter=5
What up with that?

Don't look at me. It's not my fault the author deleted the chapter.
