Manage alerts

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

I’m working on a new feature that should be ready shortly. Though Rankforest has always offered RSS feeds to keep track of rankings, some users have expressed a desire to get updates via email, especially in response to some sales rank value criteria, such as breaking into the top 100. Soon this will be possible.

Site downtime and performance upgrades

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Some of you may have noticed brief (10-30min) outages over the past 4 days. I was working on upgrading some software on the server and there was an issue with the upgrade that took a few tries to get right. Things seem to be running smoothly now. Please let me know if you experience any problems.

Rankforest was upgraded to rails 2, which offers reduced memory usage and a slew of performance and security enhancements. The new and upgraded platform will serve as the base for upcoming feature upgrades.

Thank you for your patience.
