SYNOPSIS

Got:

  1. Only last plussed module is visible on "metacpan favourites menu" in the top right corner
  2. No favourities or only one favourite is displayed on my author's page
  3. All previously plussed modules lose their plussed indicator and the button turns orange again (funilly enough it STILL sees them as pause-user plussed)

Expected

  1. All plussed modules are available on the "metacpan favourites menu"
  2. All plussed modules are available on my author's page in favourites
  3. All plussed modules have proper indicator (blue).

Description

Introduction:

I plussed Log::Log4perl and noticed that it counted me as non-pause user while I connected PAUSE ages ago. So I went to the FAQ and found #852 and relatives. I've read and tried to go through the steps described in #852 / FAQ with small success, as my pause account "STARLIGHT" is now listed in "plussers" of Log::Log4perl. It still doesn't display on my metacpan "author's page": https://metacpan.org/author/STARLIGHT

After taking the steps in #852, Log::Log4perl was listed in my Favorites section in Account menu on the top right corner of metacpan.org website (further referred to as "favourites menu") but not on my author's page. And I'm sure I've plussed more, for example Dist::Zilla.

And here is where things get really weird.

If I remove my ++plus on Log::Log4perl, the "favourites menu" starts to display Dist::Zilla instead 😱 As if one ++ masked another.

Moreover, if I ++ anything else, that module is displayed in "favourites menu" while the previous one disappears. It seems that it only displays last plussed module 😨. Although it is inconsistent, see below with Moose.

All distributions which I "plussed" appear "unplussed" again except the last plussed one.

Nothing was displayed on "author's page". After I mucked about with plussing List::MoreUtils it somehow started to display on my author's page, but when I plussed Moose after, it doesn't register neither in favorites menu nor on author's page and its button appears "unplussed" (blue) 😱

Steps taken trying to resolve

  1. Removed plusses from Log::Log4perl and Dist::Zilla.
  2. Disconnected everything except github under identities
  3. logged out
  4. cleared the cookies on *metacpan.org (one cookie on fastapi and three cookies on metacpan)
  5. logged back in
  6. connected google
  7. connected pause, clicked the verification e-mail from pause

Also tried the nuke option of disconnecting all identities, clearing cookies in the process, reconnecting with google, adding github and then adding pause in the end.

Tried plussing two new modules: List::MoreUtils and Moose. The former displays in favourites menu and on author's page, the other doesn't. I also tried logging in on another browser, no change.

Nothing helps.
