All of my products created today suddenly disappeared upon refresh. And at the same time, my products created yesterday now have a 'last viewed date' of 1025 years ago..... Oh and apparently 'last sold' 12/31/0999 🤣 That is actually the date on all items that haven't sold yet.
I am on a Mac desktop. Chrome. (both updated versions). Empty cache, hard reload doesn't fix it. Also happening to my mom on a Macbook Air with Chrome at a different location.
Oh, and just got the 'press and hold' bot screen for the first time in I can't tell you how long.
And for the past hour or so I had at least two products have an issue posting for sale and had to submit twice. (not to mention the typical timeout on the design tool)

Don't you feel funny they almost always do the new updates on Friday ask yourself WHY Its simple they want you and me and all the designers to be the BATA tester for them for free. And then when they return on Monday they read all the complaints and try to fix then .what I see is 1 sept forward and 10 steps back every time.

yes it sucks but what sucks more is I just took a fast look in my stores and all files with no view are set to the 1025 years thing so as soon as the bot see them they will all get hidden and drop out of the marked place and need to start at the bottom again and then I will never be able to fix them it take for ever when I think I counted about 15 000 out of my 40000 I have so zazzle better be able to fix this faster then they have done with the watches that still can not search

I thought the 1025 and 4 months means they need to be optimized. (joke) What's weird its all my new products created in the last 24 hours . If not fixed soon I guess they will go into hidden. (lol)

It is also strange that for the last few days, some products I create got 5-10 views the next day or even the same day when usually it's 0 views for months, except a few that start getting views after some days or weeks.
Now, after seeing other people's screenshots, it seems like it has happened to everyone?
Very strange behaviour

and now as soon as the bot see them it will hide them for being old and no views 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 ..

I just lost a design I created earlier today I even have the product created email.
All that work on tags, description, et al, and it's now missing from my store's backend. This is incredibly disconcerting! I'm so sorry for others experiencing this as well.

FWIW, I found the link to the product that's missing from my store in my browser history, so at least it seems to still exist somewhere, although I can't access it via my store's back end.
I created this product around 12:10 pm PST today, 05/30, and I received the Your Product Has Been Created email, and I was able to visit the page then. When I went to find the product at 5 pm PST today, it no longer appeared in my back-end store. Thanks in advance for your attention to this troubling issue.

Thanks for letting me know. Maybe other people can find their products for now in their browser history, in case they need to check anything. Although I received the usual "product created" mail, I usually can't follow those links - get a cookie too large error.
I hope the overall issue gets resolved soon!!!

ONE, and only one of the products created today has re-appeared on the backend. So I guess they are still 'somewhere'. My guess is this was some kind of clock coding error or something? Given that we've all become immortal and have been doing Zazzle for over 1000 years.

I just created & published a bunch of new things today: about 15 items.
Of those, only 4 are showing my store with "last viewed 1025 yrs 4 months ago; The remainder have disappeared. (though I have the published Zazzle email for each)
Some are in saves images, but if I click on them there, all go to "oops, can't find your product."
PLUS the red optimization triangle has gone suddenly crazy and is all over pages of products in any product category that I put a new published product in store backend.. For example: I did one Xmas postcard, which disappeared, but now EVERY in my Christmas store folder has a red triangle! Same in Halloween folder in my store: added a couple new things; now EVERY item has a red triangle.
Also, I selected a new merchandising view for a product and after I confirmed it for save, it created double merch views of that same product.
I believe the disappearing newly published products; the weird view count and the sudden population of red optimize triangles in whatever store category new products were added are ALL related to some causal factor.
(Image of the 1025 views products attached.)

Additional problems I want to add to the above list:
#1) I created 4 new Halloween card products. If I go to the Landing page for one for those newly added products, if I scroll down to see My Collection below that, ONLY THOSE 5 NEW ITEMS ARE SHOWN as being in that Collection, when the Collection has 23 items actually. I check the "share" button and the Collection thumbnail is only display 4 of the newly posted Hallween cards, which are at the bottom of the Collection in reality and it ought to show cards in the top row of that Collection. So whatever this error is, it's messing up Collection display too.
#2) Optimize warning triangles randomly appeared by the dozen abruptly when this error occurred in files where I posted a new product last Friday where none had been before. (I was up to date with optimization) I clicked on a Halloween Invitation that had a red triangle, I changed a tag just to see if the triangle would go away, but instead, that Halloween Invitation DUPLICATED, so now 2 identical copies in the marketplace. I've got several things in duplicates. If I touch anything or doing anything, I get doubles & triples.
Attached is pic of my Halloween items: shows of abundance of red triangles on everything except the first 5 cards that were newly posted (circled in red.) Circled in blue is the duplicated Invitation. Since doing anything to optimize anything at this time results in duplicates. Totally broken.
#3) In my "Hidden" their are 2 public view products that have been place their by mistake (due on going error) and their drop-down menus to NOT have a "Make public" option because they are still public.

Just replied in another post but will here to confirm what you are seeing
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?
<https://community.zazzle.com/t5/technical-issues/is-optimization-sorting-working-properly/m-p/205470>
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.

OK, now I don't feel so guilty about the fact that I was too busy with life stuff to do any Zazzling today. I was gonna try to make up for it this evening, but now I'm thinking perhaps I'll just lay on the couch and relax. Kinda happy to have the excuse!

oddly the ones I tried creating AFTER Zazzle freaked out (mostly because I was curious what would happen).... are still sitting in the backend now. It's only ones I made today before 4pm Pacific.

Another odd new development. I can actually add the missing items created today to a collection using their urls. And they actually do show in the collection. Bonkers

Lol, 😂 I just seen the same thing! All the products got the 1025 years 4 months 😳 red showing! I was like WTF I only just been though all of my reds 😱, then thankfully the penny dropped it seems to be an issues on Zazzle's end not mine 🤔 Hopefully they can get it sorted again soon... 🤞
...and yes my products I post this morning (here I am in Australia) are not showing up in my products. However I had to do a custom binder design for a customer this morning and just gone back to check the link I sent her as worried it may not work. But glad to say is working fine thankfully just the quick stats that is grayed out. So hopefully all is not lost there ans I still get the sale?

Newest update: the missing ones from today have started to reappear.... in a completely random order, and some with duplicates. The weird date situations have still not changed though.

That's exactly how it is for me, too
and I've seen even more.
When I open a product and click on Quick Stats,
it now says Last Sold Digital 1/1/1000.
I don't offer digital downloads, but where is the setting for that?
I can't find it anymore. Do I need to change opticians?

Ah, I thought it was just me. I created new different products yesterday to replace all the ones with the wrong view date. But all the products I designed yesterday are duplicated today. And they are at the top of the product list no matter how I sort the list.
