Changing versions shouldn't mess anything up, but I can't promise that.

Basically this. FFF now runs single-threaded for each site to avoid multiple simultaneous downloads on the same site.

You(lia_) haven't mentioned which site you're slamming, but if it hasn't changed lately, you may be able to use a pre-v4 FFF: https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/releases

Towards the bottom of the ReplaceMetadata wiki page there's a section that explains that, but it was mildly broken and didn't have a title. Now it's better. https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...tems-to-a-list

But it doesn't show so now I have no clue which stories have failed chapters anymore.

I'll look into it.

In the meantime, in FFF config under Basic tab, you can choose to have FFF mark books with failed chapters.

EDIT:

When creating a new book, the error message field is not populated on chapter error because FFF doesn't have the calibre book id yet in that part of the code. I might be able to fix that, but I might not want to.

When updating existing books, I do see the error field being populated with the message about missing chapters (when correctly configured).

There's also the 'mark' option mentioned.

Plus (assuming you didn't unclick 'Show this warning again') there's a popup to warn you that some stories had failed chapters on both new and update by URLs and emails.
