The products I made yesterday are showing last viewed : 1,025 years, and 4 months ago.
Pretty sure I wasn’t doing Zazzle then…or ya know…anything. Kind of funny, but it’s sure to affect visibility of my products.

Yeah, it’s happening to me too. I thought I was tripping out for a second, so I rushed here to see if I was the only one.

Some of my products say “optimization needed” even though they were viewed days ago.

ha ha ha, very funny, @glitterandchic !
I’m getting the same, please see attached screen shots. Not sure that there is anything unique or in common with the particular products that show this date. I could not come up with any.
Thank you!

I have the same wonky “last sold” dates. I sorted by Last Sold and everything that has actually sold had an accurate date. The wonky 12/31/0999 stuff is only being applied to products that have never sold.

and now as soon as the bot see them it will hide them and kick them from their place in the marked place and zazzla could have avoided this if they BATA test ALL updates like every other site does …

After looking more closely at these, it seems it is for products with 0 views.

Do you usually get views on so many recent products like this? because I don’t and another screenshot I saw has the same pattern and I think it’s related. For some days, a lot of products got up to 10 views out of nowhere the same or next day they were created. Very strange
I published new products and this weird view count appeared on 3 that actually stayed in store backend; all the other 15 products disappeared. Whatever is in saved images, goes to a “oops, can’t find your product.”
Optimization triangles randomly appeared on all the products in whatever a store category where I published a new product on everything else. Like I did a Xmas postcard, which vanished, but every holiday card has a red triangle now when it didn’t this morning. Like that.
Plus the weird view count on what stayed I that I made this morning. Very peculiar. Happening to lots of us.

Suggest everyone Look at all your products, not just the zero views. Mine say last sold 12/31/0999. Every last one.
My zero views say 1025/4 just like yours. Really wish 1) z would hire better coders and 2) buy some new servers. Used to be that when, on a Mac, the internal battery went to the battery charger in the great beyond, that the computer would set to 1999, if memory serves. But that’s been many batterys ago.
I strongly suspect that our discussion yesterday where mod Fiona said they would check into it, brought this mess on. topic—-Is Optimization sorting working properly?

I did not work on my shops today, so that to me is not part of the equation. This confubble seems to revert back to yesterday and mod Fiona.
and one last thing, having these fiascos happen almost every Friday, z how about having an emergency it tech team to cover weekends.
just for twisted fun, I used the useless virtual assistant, reported the details clearly, requested that it tech be immediately notified to fix the issues,and was given links to tutorials on how to create a product. I ended up the chat, and a review popped up, of course I gave it, when given my choices, terrible. Because it was, useless.

Totally. Why anyone would release anything like this on a Friday at 4pm is beyond me. (Unless you have someone who can actively sit there and work on it until it is fixed, weekend or not.)

My thoughts exactly!

Not really. Most of the immediate views are most likely mine - going back to the products for promotion on social media, etc.
Chiming in, same here.
