HI Tim,
 
Sometimes it takes forever and a day to check in books.  Sometimes it's due
to slow internet speeds on the part of the uploader's internet connection.
And sometimes it's because the Bookshare web site is taking forever and a
day to do what it does.  I suggest waiting a while and seeing if it's better
in a few hours, or maybe even a few minutes.
 
If the problem persists for more than a day, I'd guess that your internet
provider is way scary slow, or something else on your end.
 
I had this problem for many reasons in the last few months.  I first got
annoyed with the sluggishness of the Bookshare web site, which sometimes is
justified.  But I had to take back my annoyance when my internet provider
admitted that there was indeed, and had been for weeks, a sluggishness
problem in my area due to something electrical that I don't begin to
understand.
 
Just keep trying, and if it doesn't improve within the next day, let us
know.  Maybe you're not alone and Bookshare can help.
 
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Checking in a book


Hi All,

I am unable to check in a book. Just above the address bar, it says
"connecting". Nothing happens, the icon just spins continuously. I know
someone else is having the same problem. What's going on? I've never had a
problem before.

Tim
