       I can now access story stats - but it has 4 pages and they are
       all the same.

       Yes they are indeed but that has now been rectified.
       I just checked and it is because of the following which appears
       at the top of your lists
       To reduce server load and make browsing easier for authors with
       HUGE story lists, the site navigation bars have been added to
       this page. The default listing limit is 200 per page. If this is
       not suitable, you can change this limit by adding "&max=100" (or
       whatever number you prefer) to the browser URL.
       The intention was that the stats would appear in batches of 200
       so that you and P J have 5 pages; Bunbuster 9 pages for his 1674
       stories; Graham 6 pages for his 1020 etc.  The first page should
       have e g 'most recent' 1 to  200; the next 201- 400; then
       401-600 etc..
       Initially there was a fault with every page displaying the
       entire list from latest down to the very first.
       This has now been fixed

       This is a final message to clarify that as far as we know, all
       issues with the MMSA Story Archive have now been resolved.
       
       Flag has worked tirelessly night and day to re-code the system
       and sort out numerous  ‘bugs’ which arose subsequently.
       
       The full 40,000 story archive was restored several days back.
       Stories and modifications may now be submitted and the review
       section is functioning.
       
       FORUM will take much more  time to fix but will be done – see
       Flag’s statement in Newsdesk
       
       On behalf of the MMSA community may I thank Jack Wells  for
       making the Bransom site available to tell everyone what has been
       happening
       
       Johnno
       ___________________________
       The following is Flag’s final  up date [from the admin/reviewer
       section] relating to the STORY ARCHIVE.  :
       
       [quote = Flagellant] Everything is now back online, public pages
       too.
       Story posting is fixed and enabled! Stories may be approved and
       reviewed now, everything is working.
       ..........
       Story stats are now fixed. Feedback issue (flagging read
       messages) is fixed and browser caching there has been prevented
       as far as I am able. I don't think I can improve on the result.
       I think that's the lot now.

       Thank you, Johnno and Jack, for keeping us in the loop.
       I checked my story stats and feedback messages, and everything
       looks fine.
       Since we Germans are pretty active in the forum (though most of
       the posts are just sheepshit  ;D), I hope it can be repaired,
       too, but there's no hurry.

       If I understand correctly, there's no actual repair needed.  The
       problem is it was coded for an old system, and it won't display
       on the new code.  The changes Flagellant is making are more in
       the ways of updates than repairs.

       It most certainly will be up dated  and made available again.
       EN forum members [and the site admin] can see how  the German
       Green Room  has had such enthusiastic and excited participation
       :)
       As Jack has pointed out all codes for all of Forum have to be
       updated from the previous very antiquated  PHP 5.6 (which we
       have always used) to the newer PHP 7.2 as now required by the
       host Dreamhost.
       The priority has always been to update the PHP codes for the
       Story Archive first, both because that is more important [and
       really the reason for MMSA to exist] and because Forum is also
       very complex to fix.  :'(

       Further up date re Forum to say Flagellant  is about to start
       working  on the  restoration of MMSA Forum,  now that the Story
       Archive had been fully up dated with new codes to make the site
       compatible with required PHP 7.2 and the bugs have been sorted
       out.
       So you may have everything back  soon
       FURTHER UP DATE STATEMENT AT REVIEWER SECTION
       [quote="Flagellant"]
       Everything is now back online, public pages too.
       Story posting is fixed and enabled! Stories may be approved and
       reviewed now, everything is working.
       I have downloaded update files for the forum and will start to
       update that tomorrow, integrating my changes. The update process
       ought to be fairly painless since (unlike last time) there isn't
       a massive database update necessary to make it compatible with
       the new forum version. I'm going to take it slow and careful,
       though. [/quote]
