[All My Gigs Impressions Went Down to Zero Suddenly]

It must be a bug because it's happening to me too!

Same here 😞 I am missing deadlines...and it's not my fault!

According to the person in charge of the feature, OOO is completely safe and with none of the weird issues of the past.

Switch it on and when you are back you will regain your position in search results, provided nothing else has changed.

Legend. Thanks @frank_d.

Hi. I'm using the feature regularly, and the spam messages reliably start to come in as soon as I'm available again, so it seems to work. 😉

Careful with the "including" (the last day you want off), though.

I always have to put a day more than I actually want. 

I don't know if that's a problem that affects only some accounts, like the "won't affect your response rate" when you don't reply to spam but just click the spam button, but if it's really important to not get messages or even orders on the last day you want to include, maybe better set a day longer, you can still deactivate the mode manually if the "including" works as intended for you.

That's for desktop; I think it works in the app, the wording there is different, too, "until" or "last day" or something, I tend to use desktop, that's better when I want to add my own out of office text.

Haha! Reliably start coming in LOL. Thanks for the response 🙂 

[Scared of "Availability" / "Out of Office" Mode]

Hi guys! Hope everyone is safe and healthy.

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice here. So I've been selling on Fiverr since 2015. Over the years, I've used vacation mode/out of office mode/availability mode...all the different names they've had for it. I used to use it every weekend. Then, back in March 2021, I used it for one weekend and then subsequently vanished from search results for over 10 weeks.

I applied for Fiverr Pro back then and got approved (crazy how my gigs "weren't good enough" to show in search results but then I get approved for Fiverr Pro LOL) and I was back in search within days of becoming Fiverr Pro. Obviously, when this happened, I vowed never to use OOO again. But now, I'm burnt out beyond belief. All I do is work, and I have no time for my family and daughter. My inability to use OOO is ruining my personal life.

I want to test the mode again because I've heard they've made changes to it, so it doesn't unjustly affect your ranking. Does anyone know if this is true? I mean, we can't be expected to work non-stop without a break for years on end. I'm grateful for all the work, but I'm also losing my sanity. I'm a TRS with 15,000 completed orders and almost 10,000 5-star reviews. Back when I vanished from search, I contacted Fiverr support incessantly and they insisted they couldn't help me because "showing up in search isn't guaranteed". But I mean, when you search "Copywriting", I have always been in the top row from day one (until I used OOO).

Anyway, so I'm scared of vanishing from search again, but I'm also on the verge of a mental breakdown LOL. Has anyone used OOO lately with success...? All I want is a day or two off to recharge my batteries, and - of course - one would need to activate OOO about a week before your planned time off to slow down the order-train in advance. Sigh.

Thanks so much in advance for any advice anyone can offer. @frank_dI know this is something you've discussed in the past, if you have any advice here. Much love to all.
