However, I found that changing the URL in Ids from the first chapter to the series resolved this and it was able to find all of the chapters again.
I finally figured out that if the chapter listed as the Ids URL is listed both in a series and individually, it picks the not in a series version and thus treats it as a single chapter story. Changing the Ids to match the series bypasses this bug in the listing.
I'll PM an example URL.

I've looked at that example. When you click that 'story' link, the page you get doesn't have a 'Story Series' link on it. Therefore, FFF has no way to know it's part of a series.
Honestly, that's the site being broken, IMO. We've also seen examples of the same 'chapter' in two 'story series'.
And before anyone suggests going back to parsing the author page, just no. There's too much hidden behind javascript that I'm just not dealing with.
Fortunately, in this case at least, the answer is simple. Use the /series/se URL instead.
