How does it normally take for a bug to get fixed after you've reported it using the "contact us" link?

I reported a bug (it was a rating problem in a certain spot) еще than a week назад and there has been no change with the problem. I understand that the F4 have plenty on their hands with these sort of reports, but should something have happened by now?

ARGH, TYPO. "How LONG does it normally take for a bug to get fixed after you've reported it?" *facepalm*

I reported a rating problem a couple of weeks назад as well and it still isn't fixed. Sometimes it takes hours, sometimes weeks, sometimes months.

Fanpop Ответы

This really depends on the problem and what priority it is given. If Fanpop is like any other web site (and in many ways it is), the staff have a queue of bug reports and feature requests to address. For most web sites, this queue is a mile long, and represents far еще work than there are man hours to address. Most large web sites have large teams working on them, and they hold regular meetings to review the Список of bugs and features to a) Сообщить on progress and b) prioritize the remaining bugs/features. Who knows how often the Fanpop staff do this, but we know that there is a relatively small team of people working to address the maintenance and repair of the site.

Also, we don't know how formal their process for reviewing and prioritizing bugs is (do they use Microsoft project или something similar, just use a spreadsheet, just have Post-it notes on the wall, или does Dave hand down assignments each day?), so it may be that some bug reports get overlooked in the endless stream of reports. So if Ты aren't contacted about a bug Сообщить and Ты see no action on it, Ты might CAREFULLY consider whether to Отправить the bug Сообщить again. It probably helps prioritizing if the issue is known by the staff to affect many users, too.

Added: So, to be еще explicit: there is no "normal" fix time for bugs on Fanpop, because we have no visibility into the staff's process for addressing bug reports, and because some fixes take far longer than others.

Congratulations, though: your ratings problem was fixed! Well, no, it wasn't fixed, exactly, but instead made a non-issue because all ratings were removed! Hooray!
