Check out the Halloween contest for an example:
A couple of entries, including my own, have an order of magnitude more likes/downloads/prints than the rest. But they literally are displaying at the bottom, after scrolling through the other ~200 entries.
Edit: To clarify, I waited until September 10 (UTC time) before I uploaded my entry, so it is a valid contest entry. I’m not sure if the same is true of the others, and I don’t want that to be a red herring. If you read on, you’ll see that the sort order is messed up in other ways too, beyond the contest.
Moreover, the illusion I posted last night hit the #5 spot on the main MakerWorld trending page (not the contest page) within hours, and it was quickly rising. I have screenshots. Then the outage hit. They must have restored from backup, because now it’s nowhere to be seen.
It seems like the sort order stats are all messed up in general. If I try to view the models with the most downloads over the past 24 hours, the first result has 180 downloads, the second result has 47 downloads, and yet my model (which has over 200 downloads in under a day) doesn’t show up at all.
Here’s my model if it helps with the debugging: The Haunted Lincoln Illusion by brunswim - MakerWorld
This is the first thing I’ve ever done which has trended, so this situation is a real punch in the gut, especially since I’d been planning this contest entry for over a month. Is there anything I can do?
