Is there an age issue with FFN stories now? I switched to using browser cache when their latest update broke FFDL (and therefore FFF couldn't use its cache) but I have a story that updated today (like an hour ago) and so I went through it in my browser and told FFF to update it in Calibre, and it's acting like there is no update to add. It says it's a good URL (which it wouldn't if I'd failed to go through it in the browser first) but it only updates the Checked Date and nothing else. Do I need to wait a longer time after FFN notifies me of the update before I try this?

ETA: It looks like chapter 1 is still showing the old metadata, while the later chapters have the updated metadata, including the Updated Date and chapter count. I'm guessing this is an FFN glitch and nobody knows when it'll fix.
Yep, chapter 1 finally updated properly on FFN, and the update in Calibre went fine. I guess I just have to leave it for at least a couple hours to make sure FFN gets its metadata straight before updating.
